    Kaspersky Lab Under U.S. Scrutiny for Russian Government Ties

    I'm still waiting for you to tell me what news sites you'd accept evidence of these very things from. WaPo? Fox? Breitbart? What news sites do you rely on / trust to report things? Once you commit to one we can see what information that site finds credible enough to report and work from there.

    Kaspersky Lab Under U.S. Scrutiny for Russian Government Ties

    Hypergrealthing won't commit to any sources of information he will trust so he can just constantly dismiss anything you write. He's just going to move the goalposts. First it was invented after the election. Then it was at the second debate. Now he doesn't care who's involved as long as it's...

    Kaspersky Lab Under U.S. Scrutiny for Russian Government Ties

    I notice you ignored my reply. I'm sure it's because you didn't see it. It's a few places back in this thread. I'll wait for your well reasoned response.

    Kaspersky Lab Under U.S. Scrutiny for Russian Government Ties

    Obviously we don't have *proof* at this point or else things would be in a different state than they currently are. But obviously there is credible evidence or grand juries wouldn't be seated. Obviously there is evidence or Republican led committees wouldn't be subpoenaing information. Give...

    Kaspersky Lab Under U.S. Scrutiny for Russian Government Ties

    You already sound pretty sure it's all made up so I'm trying to understand how you are so confident of that. Surely you must already be familiar with the mainstream reporting if you're that confident. So I'm trying to understand where that confidence comes from. I mean, we have grand juries...

    Wow that's pretty far out there. Can I ask what news sources you rely on?

    Wait, what are the fabrications? The entire thing? There's no connection between Trump and Russia at all?

    What are you talking about? The connection to Russia came up during the debates even.

    German Heavy Metal Music Festival Builds Beer Pipeline to Preserve the Environment

    Sheesh, and I thought it was only us snowflake leftists who go around looking to be outraged. Welcome to the fold!

    Manchester Arena Bombing Tweeted Hours Before

    Well you certainly could learn some things from any civilization. One thing which might interest you is what is the best way to deal with these countries so at least they aren't as interested in blowing up westerners. If you think just bombing them back to the stone age is the solution 1) I...

    Manchester Arena Bombing Tweeted Hours Before

    Don't take this the wrong way (really, don't) but what you just wrote reads to me like "I'm going to wear my ignorance on my sleeve and there's nothing you can do about it." Are you comfortable sending that message to those who don't see things in the same black and white terms you do? If so...

    Manchester Arena Bombing Tweeted Hours Before

    So your definition of terrorist necessitates suicide bombings? Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols kill 168 but because they survived they're not terrorists? Pro-birth terrorists assassinate *doctors* but because they survive they're not terrorists? The explicitly Christian KKK kills, maims...

    Doomsday Seed Vault Upgraded to Protect against Warming Arctic

    I'm sure we'll get a well reasoned response about why this doesn't matter as soon as something clicks on a "Climate Scientists *hate* him" ad.

    Your Government Knows Better than You

    Actually, I initially assumed that this law had been put forth by a Democrat on the basis of the provided editor summary. It was only after I (minimally) looked into it that I discovered it was a Republican who introduced the bill. And yeah, I stand behind my comments that guys ought to feel a...

    Your Government Knows Better than You

    First, let me be clear that I don't specifically mean to pick on you as I'm trying to make a more general point. But I had to respond to someone and you were it. As for what you wrote, there is a reason we call what you did the slippery slope fallacy. That's because you can turn *anything*...

    Your Government Knows Better than You

    The answer is, no, he had not read the bill and was simply speculating based on the summary provided. I suspect the actual bill was longer than one sentence. Oh, and kudos to all of you who can't hold back on bashing 'leftists' and 'liberals' for the law. Read the article next time, m'kay?

    Your Government Knows Better than You

    I don't know, did you read the bill? (I ask already knowing the answer). Is that how you read the definition in the bill? (I ask already knowing the answer). So you read the bill and your interpretation of it as written would prohibit you from calling someone a 'fat cunt whale'? (I ask...

    Germany Gets 85% of Its Electricity from Renewables in Record-Breaking Weekend

    Dude, both of these things can't be true. Sorry but you have to get it through your head that you aren't smarter than the world's top scientists in all of their distinct fields. Unless you think these people are simultaneously so smart they can pull the wool over the world's eyes while also...

    Germany Gets 85% of Its Electricity from Renewables in Record-Breaking Weekend

    Ok, I may have been a little too harsh in one of the things I said toward you so I am sorry about that. What I am trying to communicate to you is the following. What you are expressing isn't "dissent" since you understand neither the science you doubt nor the anti-science you use to "counter"...

    Amateur hour! At the disco! So apparently this from your first link = rising minimum wage As for your second link, it's so embarrassing for you that you think the Washington Examiner is a real newspaper. It isn't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Examiner :themoreyouknow: The...

    Robots Aren't Destroying Enough Jobs

    I disagree. We can create an unlimited number of jobs which pay $1 per day. I'd suggest we're better off employing a smaller number of people at a livable wage even if it meant those people had to pay extra taxes to help support those without jobs. Ultimately it will mean that working is more...

    Germany Gets 85% of Its Electricity from Renewables in Record-Breaking Weekend

    Obviously I'm too obtuse to get what you're driving at. And I'm not in academia but was fortunate enough to have significant opportunities to continue publishing while at Intel. It's not coercion if you do it willingly, silly goose. But to answer your question, showing something to someone...

    Germany Gets 85% of Its Electricity from Renewables in Record-Breaking Weekend

    So what if I told you I found a magic technique which made it profitable to go back to and even increase coal production. Would you support people voting with their wallets in that case? What if our new magic supply of coal wasn't expected to run out for 100 years? Would it be ok for people...

    Germany Gets 85% of Its Electricity from Renewables in Record-Breaking Weekend

    Are you sure you understand how scientific research and publishing works? People without such background are constantly saying things similar to this and, as someone who has published plenty, that's just not how things work (search my bibliography if you don't believe me). Earlier in the...

    Germany Gets 85% of Its Electricity from Renewables in Record-Breaking Weekend

    There's absolutely an argument to be made for not stomping in on a group of people who are already happy with their lives and who have absolutely no capacity to integrate with modern society. And there is absolutely an argument to be made for study of their society. This is even a main theme...

    What are you basing this on? Edit: If you were saying this based on the cost argument then no need to clarify. I thought you were saying it was outright impractical.

    Drive by climate denial... so brave. Actually, if you use google translate on the original german page they don't dispute that global warming exists (at least I didn't find such dispute) but were more concerned with the impact of higher electricity prices on employment. Google translate being...

    Why though? !) It's not illegal to outperform other companies as long as you don't engage in anti-competitive behavior 2) Bing, Duck duck go, Baidu all exists and provide "competition" in the same way you'd say AMD provided competition to Intel (ignoring recent events where they actually are...

    Intel's Itanium, Once Destined to Replace x86 Processors in PCs, Hits End of Line

    Even though Itanium was garbage still a little sad to see it go. It had some really awesome features for debugging which allowed you to experiment with some cool ideas on finished silicon and actually demonstrate wall-clock speedup (http://maggini.eng.umd.edu/pub/wang-vmt-asplos04.pdf). But...

    California Seeks to Tax Rocket Launches, Which Are Already Taxed

    According to this http://statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-projected-gdp.php California would still be ranked 5th (CA economy was 2.5T in 2015). Now can you please make your point? In this thread all you have done is claim we don't understand what we're talking about while posting a...

    California Seeks to Tax Rocket Launches, Which Are Already Taxed

    I don't have any idea what you're talking about. The linked article only deals with a new tax, not new regulations (unless you mean the tax?) and not something the companies asked for (so definitely not the tax). In any case, since you all are such strong supporters of the free market you...

    California Seeks to Tax Rocket Launches, Which Are Already Taxed

    I think it's hilarious that Cyraxx is mad about taxes that people won't notice being imposed. Would he prefer taxes which are severe enough that people encounter them every day? Also, can someone please explain why non-Californians even care about this article? If you don't like it, build...

    California Seeks to Tax Rocket Launches, Which Are Already Taxed

    Sure. No offense but I'm probably more familiar than you with how numbers can be twisted. That's why I'm trying to look in more detail into the link you posted. I personally want to know if California doesn't qualify as a donor state since that meme is so prevalent and I don't want to keep...
