...and there would be tax incentives and tax credits for companies building high-speed networks.
Translation: "Let's give billions more taxpayer dollars to the worthless telecoms/cable companies."
That was my initial reaction, too. This will probably turn into federal subsidies for telecom companies without any kind of requirement that the telecom companies actually do what the subsidies were supposed to pay for.
Also, if you don't know who has interest in a property, that's fine. You might not actually have a right to know who has an interest in any property you want to acquire.
I don't know if that's the case in any state in the United States. I think property ownership is a matter of public record.
3) The players get to keep items comped by the casino. Bad call. The casino "comp"ensates you for playing a game that they are favored in. They were cheating. The players broke their obligation.
In this instance, "comp" is short for "complimentary", not "compensation".
But by not having a social safety net for everyone, this kind of thing looks like it might ruin the US.
Why is it the government's or society's responsibility to support those that refuse to support themselves?
Because the alternative is that a large number of people will be unable to feed themselves. And one of the major lessons of history is that when large numbers of people have no other way to survive, they turn to robbery or outright revolt. Some of us enjoy living in a modern civilization and would like it to remain that way.
How many will stand for a self driving vehicle that mopes along.
As many as stand for buses and trains that may take more time to get to your destination than driving would. Judging by my personal experience, that number is pretty high.
The problem with a lot of SV/Tech startups is that the people involved appear to believe that their income comes from VCs. Their business plan is effectively "Get VC Money, Then Sell Company!"
It's hard to tell for sure, but you seem kind of surprised by this. If so, you must be pretty young, since this has been true for almost 20 years now.
Same here. When they went commercial, I got a "VIP" label and free DNS service for my domain, since I had donated something like $20. I highly doubt that service will continue under Oracle.
I've had free DNS service from them for years, since I donated something like $20 when they still provided service for free for everyone. Guess I'll have to find a new provider, too.
If Trump's business empire is only worth $2 billion, instead of the $4 billion that he claims, then he's an even worse businessman than we thought. Starting with $200 million 40 years ago, $2 billion now would be far below average for the stock market, whereas $4 billion is only slightly below average.
Darn. And I was ready to make a joke that emacs users are finally admitting that it's really a full operating system that doesn't include a decent text editor.
nano is in the common Linux distributions that I've used. It's good for basic text editing, and the keyboard commands aren't as arcane as vi or emacs (and the most common ones are shown at the bottom of the screen).
I had always assumed that "Jesus" was a Latinized version of "Jesse" ("Yishai" in Hebrew). That certainly would have added to the idea that he was a descendant of David (Jesse was David's father).
Phone is in my left pocket with screen (and home button) facing my body, top of phone down towards the ground. Reach in & trigger home button with thumb as I'm pulling it out & pivoting it around my thumb grip to be right side up.
Same here, just with my right hand. Though with my phone, I press the power button with my thumb to turn the screen on.
As far as handwriting handedness, I'm told it doesn't make a big difference. It's nigh indecipherable by anyone else regardless of what hand I'm writing with...
Hell, if you can read your own handwriting, you've got me beat.

And then, there's Benghazi. Clear case of treason, and no Democrat is interested.
If it was such a clear case of treason, wouldn't you expect that a Republican-controlled Congress would figure that out during their investigation?
yet again. Sad!
Fixed that for you.

Why wasn't Obama impeached for spying on Americans?
Why wasn't Bush impeached for spying on Americans?
Why won't Trump be impeached for spying on Americans?
So Windows will finally have a good UI?
consensus is not proof
Proofs are for mathematicians. We're talking about science here.

2. These are not really "tech" jobs but manufacturing jobs for our average, 100 IQ workers.
As others have pointed out, these aren't manufacturing jobs, but construction jobs, and thus will be only temporary.
Unemployment at less than 5%? Puh-leeze. I guess maybe if you count crap work and part time jobs with no benefits.
In other words, most of these 50,000 new assembly plant jobs?

Well... they do both have 4 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell...
But yeah, the similarity stops there.
When it comes to chemical reactions, that one similarity is by far the most important.

Where have you been for the last 35 years? The government shuts down every time there's some budget squabble between Congress and the president.

More like 10 million. Jews weren't the only minority group that Hitler targeted.
Which just makes Trump's rhetoric even more frightening.
He built a $2 billion dollar business empire

You should look at profit, not revenue. And I don't care enough to do so myself.
