Burnham is a terrible officer, but also always trying to talk up Starfleet as if she isn't constantly acting like Starfleet doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.
Another important fact. China has everything to lose from cooperation and nothing to gain. An unfortunate reality in geopolitics is to give no control to other countries of your own fate. If they were to grant access and attempt to be completely forthcoming, how are they to know that some group wouldn't attempt to fabricate evidence or muddy the waters further.
Seems pretty heavily modified from the source, but even the source isn't super relevant because it is trying to use though experiments to determine the morality of the act, however Roe and this subsequent decision (tenuously) are based on legal justification.
This is a contrived example, but a pretty obvious answer given PC's stance. You can enter into the contact and would need be prepared for civil liability upon breach, or criminal if you entered into the contract under false pretenses. Intent would be a major part of deciding the criminal action. If you could be shown to have the intent of someone's death, then that would be murder, otherwise no.
Every walled garden needs to plant their own flowers. It's an unfortunate side effect of profit motive and keeping people on the platform rather than integrations and openness.
The prison part is the slavery, the digging the whole is the labor. As you have pointed out, there's an odd pearl clutching among a lot of people on the matter. I think those who argue of the negative incentives it creates are right, but too many appeals to emotion over the term slavery. The reason the 13th amendment included the crime provision is so that we can continue to imprison people, any work they do or don't do is secondary to the loss of rights.
It's not just that your comment had no value, it had negative value. If it only had no value, I would have done as you said, downvoted and moved on. But since it's existence was a detraction, I felt it was important enough to attempt to mitigate the propagation of potential misinformation.
I do apologize that adding the bit of "... hubris that your opinion matters" came across rather harshly and was unneeded to my point.
No, because hubris is about having "excessive pride", and it doesn't take much pride to decide that I can parse the English language and determine that the person I am replying to has made a fallacious statement.
Let's beat the metaphor to death. They opened the valve because there was a fire below that needed to be put out. Better to deal with flood damage than lose the whole enchilada.
> Personally I don't really care enough to investigate
but you do care enough to comment on the internet with no evidence, thus your context is just disguised misinformation mixed with the hubris that your opinion matters.
No, we bet that creating closer ties economically would disincentivize aggressive behavior. It is still to be seen if that pans out, this is the greatest test of the liberal world order, but the repercussions are not seen overnight.
Except a gas station can currently serve X people per hour with fuel tanks but Y per hour with electric charging. Under the assumption that Y is not only less than X but substantially less than X, they'd need to find a lot of methods to extract money form those customers, which ends up with their own risks and costs.
Well it looks very interesting and I've shared it to everyone I know, and a lot of them are very interested in using this. The roadmap also looks very promising.
Interestingly when I open that link in my current window I get redirected to the imgur UI, however if I open in an incognito tab it loads the image directly.
I used say, "I hate being a smoker, but I love smoking." Pretty much 90% of my social circle evolved because of smoking. Like church, it is fulfils a particular role in society that you don't really understand if you haven't experienced it.
A carrier can travel ~700 nautical miles in a day, which would be around the width of Texas. That is not a small area to search, ~1,539,380 SNM. Obviously you could narrow it down based on where you think the group is travelling to, etc, but if they are trying to not be found, day old data puts you in a tough position.
I'm sure it is difficult to decide that since, as pointed out, there is a working example staring at us every day. So it always feel just out of reach.
The post started off with a seemingly reasonable yet obviously naïve example of flaws in the process, then goes on a rant where it reframes every tweet by the FDA in a gross mischaracterization.
The funniest thing here is that there would be very few people in the world that would count any international trade as a part of the "free market". So any restriction placed by the US government on importing any products would implicitly not have any effect on the "free market" that most people refer to, and most people that would drool over the "free market" would also be the same people to decry any movement towards globalism.
But even then, why wouldn't these European manufacturer just print a second set of labels for selling their product to the US, if it's just a "labeling requirement"? Sounds like a very fishy claim.
