I think the fact that you don't understand that the first sentiment of your post is exactly how the opposing side felt and why they elected him in the first place, is what is most wrong with our country today.

I think that if we as a people try a little more to identify with the majority of the opposition as opposed to painting them as the worst 5% of their number and hating them, we would realize that for the most part our values are closer than we think.

We are not a country of trumptards and libtards, but a country of people who for the most part want to live a good life for their family and their neighbors. I guess the pendulum has swung far enough that the people decided that it is time for it to swing back. Our parties largely forgot the concept of actual compromise, so the political maneuvering has been largely to hurt the opposing side and prevent them from being able to win, rather than govern. I worry same may occur now. However considering the last election and this one, and the changes that occurred in the meantime I think perhaps this is a sign that our system still works.

I think there is a big gap for business and government between Windows and Linux because I am not aware of a fully built out alternative to Active Directory.

Just call the agency "Turing" and make sure they have a lot of flexibility in their enforcement... and the power to create flexibility when required.

Or perhaps the Ukrainian government took steps to crush internal opposition and painted this action as somehow good. The fact that this possibility doesn't appear to have even registered in the slashdot mindset is terrifying. The fact is you don't know.

It seems clear that they would rather put surveillance everywhere than actually enforce the laws on the books, prosecute criminals, or do anything that would have a meaningful impact on keeping the city safe.

The fact that myself and other replies are marked as "troll" is quite indicative of the broader society. Trolling implies deliberate misrepresentation or overt lies designed to offend or inflame. The only way you could conclude what I or the other authors in this threat wrote is "trolling" is if you are triggered by an opinion that is different than your own.

Yes, and don't you dare question it. You must not travel, heat your home, or own property. Obey your betters or else comrade...

And after that they should create an Amazon Basics java programmer school so java programmers are as plentiful and get paid as much as janitors.

See... isn't race to the bottom wonderful!

Maybe we could go full Bolshevik and pay doctors 1/2 of what a factory worker gets (real numbers from the Soviet Union circa 1960s-80s).

Only the already rich and those with political power can accumulate wealth. Everyone else would be paid just enough. And you should be the one deciding what "enough" is.

That's going to really screw the people you hate for being more successful.

So it sounds like we should immediately switch to non-fossil electricity generation (25% of all CO2 emissions) with the best tool we have available - nuclear power. After we have adequate electrical supply, or at least as we're on our way to that, we should work on maximizing use of electricity in transportation and heating. While we're at it we could shave a few percentage points by converting large-scale shipping to nuclear too, and minimizing use of air for transporting non-urgent goods.

We seem to be doing it the other way around - we're maximizing building electric cars while the majority of power is produced via fossil fuels. I guess if our electric supply becomes inadequate the prices will skyrocket and individual consumption will drop, which will accomplish the goal I guess. This is easier than actually having the will to generate sustained change, because forcing individual people to do or not do something is easy when you have an armed government behind you and they are powerless and dependent.

That's not at all what people are worried about.

The "neutrality" refers to content.

The concern with abandoning net neutrality is the danger of different content being treated differently, whereby your ISP can decide that only paid services will get gigabit throughput and everything else can do with 128k... or worse, start picking and choosing whether or not to deliver content based on politics.

The car analogy would be a vehicle that drives 60mph to Walmart and to 10mph or not at all to a mom and pop shop... or one that will get you to one political rally but not another.

It is very secure. It securely transfers the contents of your messages to industry partners and government agencies.

I actually agree with you that a simple robot will not detectect contamination, and that people should be involved.

However, I am trying to leverage my extensive background in biology to figure out the reasoning behind your SOP of bleaching and "sterilizing" the fryer after a mouse jumps in.

I mean you can say you're going to drain and clean if because it's gross... But if your deep fryer oil is not sterile at 375F, I'm not sure what new kingdom of organisms you've invented.

Is this the new "follow the science" kind of SOP?

They are so busy erasing the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 12th amendments from a bill of human rights, I think they figured they should add something, and they chose this.

Actually I wish they do this, and you get stranded on your way to the ER while not being drunk. Your self righteous bullshit is so tiresome. The parent post is right - the problem is people like yourself who imagine their perfect fascist regulations having perfect effects, instead of using one ounce of braincells to see how it will go wrong the majority of the time.

As much as the current culture wants people to lie to themselves and others, what people acutely want and what makes them happy to see in a potential sexual partner has changed very little over the years, and is unlikely to change in the future.
