Interesting and creative way to drive traffic to your site.

I read most of the document, and even if a fraction of it is true, Twitter will have a lot of explaining to do in front of the SEC. It sounds like it would be easy to find criminal intent.

>This kind of dangerous logic...

Different or opposing opinions are neither dangerous or violent.

It only becomes a problem when employees start to view it as an entitlement.

>While I agree almost anything can be art

It's kinda like porn, though. I know it when I see it, and a banana taped to a wall isn't art.

It's not just one chemical we're talking about here, as there is over 9,000 variations of PFAS chemicals[1] identified to date.

Why do we have to flag it instead of eloquently and politely discussing it?

>Seattle-based Arrived claims that it is different from others in the category in that it is “fully SEC-qualified,” meaning that it has approval from the Securities and Exchange Commision to offer shares of individual homes.

I don't see this as being any different than the numerous REIT's that you can invest in.

>Hola is a freemium web and mobile application...

When the service is free, you are the product.

It's the free phone tax, where you end up paying double the cost of the phone by the time the 2 year contract expires.

Vacationers usually return home at some point, though.

Amazon is becoming a garbage dump of fraud and junk knock-off sellers. A majority of these sellers are in China, so I don't know why Amazon would have any difficulty auditing them. They need to do a clean sweep of these garbage sellers and then improve their "approved sellers" list for the future.

The problem is becoming wide-ranging and rampant, so if they don't, they just may become an artifact of history.

Carpet bombing has a tendency to kill a lot of people, especially when it continues for 70 days.

There is plenty of reading material[1] if you're really interested.

>... compared to the other shit the US wastes federal money on.

You mean like roads, bridges, and other infrastructure?

I like to view nice pictures of space as well as anyone else, but I can't agree that it is money well spent. If it was entirely privately funded it wouldn't be a problem, but money from taxes should go for the things that benefit society the most.

>... while simultaneously handwringing over every incident ...

And then there's those Tesla accidents that must happen thousands of time a day, because they're always in the news.

The picture of the VT100 brings back memories. I had one at home and would connect to our Vax 11/780 to program in FORTRAN using the EDT editor... using a 1200 baud modem.

(about 1981 or so)

Hopefully you're joking... :-), if not, it means Extended Support Release.

(The first time I saw it, I thought the same)

My bank (B of A) started complaining about Debian's firefox-esr being too old and out of date, so I loaded the bleeding edge version just to access my bank account, but use the esr version for general browsing.

By the time all of the litigation bills are paid and the negative sentiment caused by ignoring an obvious problem, I wonder if it would have been far less expensive to just fix the damn keyboards... what is the thought process that brings us here?

That's odd, I used that link several times from that comment, but now it's changed.

I made this point today, but it was summarily dismissed as "not a problem".

Pretty much, yes.

The argument being that when you just replace one type of pollution with another, I'm not sure you're benefiting as much as many people believe. I worry that some of the toxins produced with modern technologies may be worse than what we already have.

I don't have a problem with wind and solar, but I do have a problem with the enormous amounts of toxic waste produced making solar panels and wind mills. Then there is the problem of what to do with the huge amount of waste material once the wind mills and solar panels need to be replaced. It seems that no one is addressing these issues.

On a side note, eWaste is becoming a biger issue every day as we produce ever increasing "things" to make our life easier.

Three years ago I built a house to sell (I was general contractor) on a city lot my family owned. Before a single shovel of dirt was turned over, we had to pay around seventy thousand dollars for plan review, power connection, water, sewer and gas.

This really opened my eyes as to how much mitigation costs have risen over the years. I had built a house in the same area in 1989 and the initial costs were one tenth of that.

The problem is that they are spraying it on the product that is consumed, such as soybeans and wheat. It should only be used to eradicate weeds before the crop is planted, where the residual glyphosate is consumed by soil bacteria after eight days have elapsed.

The Roundup Ready series of crops should be banned from consumption because of contamination potential, and for being genetically engineered.

It's good to see that everyone agrees on the definition of NULL.

The limiting factor would be the memory chips themselves and any firmware required for them (if any). I also don't know how well they are spec'd and if full documentation is available without NDA's and lawyers.

Nothing they do is unique or substantially different than many of the Asiatic religions that have existed. People tend to fear what they don't understand.
