As long as you _only_ consider "mass" shootings, then you can use all kinds of sleight of hand and piss-poor logic to defend idiotic stances. That's one reason why Republicans and NRA lobbyists like talking about mass shootings--they are esentially anecdotes.
90 people a day die from gunshots in America. 60% are suicides so the other 40% are murders.
36 people/day murdered by guns, mostly women and children dying at the hands of an angry ex. Maybe three people a day killed with knives.
1. Most people in America, more than half, do not own guns. The NRA sells fear and loathing to gun collectors.
2. If there is a revolution, none of those guns will matter.
a. For one, you can only hold two guns at once (at most) so having a basement full of weaponry is just for display purposes. You couldn't even hold off a SWAT team.
b. Any real revolution will be between national guard divisions just like in any other modern country.
3. As far as safety is concerned, having a gun in the house increases the risk of death and injury to people living in the house (duh).
Granted, I know appealing to facts and logic is a waste of time, but it's an old habit that's hard to break.
It possibly might work, but I doubt there is any cost-effectiveness. Size is a huge problem. It's like the idiot conservatives claiming enviros are causing forest fires by preventing logging.
How many tens of thousands of acres can we log in a year?
How many hundreds of millions of acres burn every year?
We're gonna build us a wall the size of Texas and at best, it will slow down melting by a decade.
The whole article can be summed up in a single sentence... Americans are eating out less?
Why is this on Slashdot?
Beause it's a statistical story. Restaurant sales are up 1.1% !!!!!!!!!!
The seems to imply more people are eating out.
Restaurant prices go up 3% means people are actually eating out less.
What I find absurd is if the anonymous person likes the Republican agenda but dislikes Trump's idiocy and closeness to the red button, what the hell is wrong with Pence? IF the president cannot be trusted, put in the next dud, I mean, dude.
If colleges paid the math/engineering profs the same as they paid the english/history profs, then I'd say a lit degree is as worthwhile as a STEM degree.
However, if you take into account basic economics, the college degree costs you the same tuition per hour period. Therefore, as a student, why not take the easy classes?
Why not? Because the _value_ of the degrees are different. Colleges should charge different amounts of money for different degrees and that would shove the value of the classes into a student's face in an Adam Smith kind of way.
The current sea level rise is due to three factors, each causing about one-third of the rise: thermal expansion, melting ice (including land glaciers), and the emptying of aquifers (something I hadn't even considered).
As more ice melts, that will be the only thing that really matters
Well who woulda thunk cameras could be hacked? Certainly not the people who know their voting machines could NEVER be hacked and if they were, then it was illegal and shouldn't have happened, so there.
Hacking the camera itself is only one flaw
Any video that has been used in a court case must be preserved until all possible appeals have been exhausted. I'll bet it'd be a lot easier to doctor the photos after they've been viewed and claim the whole case is flawed.
_lying_ about your stick publicly is only about manipulating prices and that is actually illegal, and is technically, exactly what Musk did. If the board was thinking of taking Tesla private, the board can make an official announcement.
Seriously, Elon ought to shut the hell up and concentrate on building vehicles, let the short-sellers argue amongst themselves. Essentially Elon, Don't feed the trolls.
The endless struggle to keep politics out of "X" rides the same rails as the struggle to keep religion out of "Y".
How about the doctrine of fairness? Politicians and voters don't allow logic and analysis in politics, therefore, we shouldn't put politics into math. Thinks of it as a commutative property of philosophy.
When Obama was president, I expect the UK would hand over Julian no questions asked.
But with Trump in power and screaming like a baby at them, why would the UK actually give a shit what America wants?
The reason drive-by-wire will fail in private cars is because of FAA rules, but not the design rules. You cannot design that well. Period.
The FAA safety check rules are what makes drive-by-work in airplanes--looking for issues after every 40 hours of flight time.
Let's see how well drive-by-wire works in a 20-year-old Tesla with minimal maintenance.
The standard response is drive-by-wire is safe because airplanes do it.
The reality is that airplanes undergo regular mechanical checks by certified mechanics. Private cars have no such safety checks.
That's why drive-by-wire isn't as safe as engineers and zealots think. I want to see it working in a 20-year-old vehicle that's undergone "normal' (close to zero) maintenance.

Forgoing profits to build market share works.
Amazon forwent profits for almost 2 decades while building market share, originally just selling books.
I can see them easily outlasting many of the other pay schemes. (Despite the moaning of vendors and the promises of Libertarians, tt actually costs a certain amount of money to track a transaction and credit is a loan of money and that costs something, too.)
Back in the day there was a better response rate?
Perhaps every person ever asked out on a date face-to-face goes out, but I don't think so. Seems like face-to-face asking results in maybe a 30% success rate, and while that is higher (and your own success rate might be higher but for the same reason), in face-to-face interactions, you've already passed on quite a few people.
But to me this hearkens back to the days of John Alden and Myles Standish, 1620 CE in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. That might have been before the days of the internet. I can't remember if Shakespeare also had a similar plot in one of his plays.
Yup. The places that really annoy me are the ones that refuse plastic.
They tell me I can use the ATM machine with its processing fee. What a ripoff.
I also see that many of the posters are ignoring the part of the article about the time and cost of money handling, as well as the exposure to theft. All the pot shops have armed guards because all transactions are in cash. Lots of cash. Colorado makes $2 million a month in taxes, all in twenties;-)
The moral problem is that Comey and all the right-wing do-gooders think only bad people want to encrypt stuff and only good people want to read it.
Where their logic falls apart is the "good people" section. Jesus said it best. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Given the homosexual child rape of Catholic monks and the coverup of it, along with the divorces and affairs of countless married ministers, and the blatant greed and avarice of the mega-church pastors in Texas, I don't automatically assume someone in the church is free of sin or badness.
You don't see what's inherently immoral about treating people differently? (Charging different people different prices is treating individuals differently).
It's either obviously immoral or it isn't. That's kind of the problem with moral truths. And even logical ones.
The 9/10ths of a cent gasoline tax came from a governor of Pennsylvania in the 1920s after he campaigned on a promise to not raise a taxes a"single red cent." Since reality (aka the deep state) requires paying for government services, he raised taxes 9/10ths of a red cent.
If you think government is not worth paying any money for, move to government-free Somalia and enjoy all your "freedoms.' Also, Libertarians should note that if Putin wants to actually keep all his stolen money, he wants to keep it in American or European banks, not Chinese or Russian ones.
Reality means government institutions work better over the long run than not having them does.
