The baker comparison doesn't work. You don't see one guy or even three companies in Colorado controlling 99% of the messages going on cakes, globally, like you do with social media speech on Google/Facebook/Twitter plat

The country has never been more divided politically and I highly doubt that had anything to do with Gingrich.

Good point, eSports likely won't really benefit from Optane that much over a 960 EVO or PRO, but if they get into the eSports scene early they'll get a lot of free advertisement from all the various CS GO / LOL / Overwat

NK Has strategic value to China more than anything I believe. Although, maybe China just doesn't know what to do with North Korea and therefore just tries to get along with them as best they can, or they are actually happy to have NK

I heard a professor tell a story about the founder of McDonalds going to a business class as a guest. He asked the students "What business am I in? Can anyone tell me?" and they all laughed, "why hamburgers of course".

Perhaps he or his employer valued his timely flight at $5,000 or more while some other passenger would have gladly taken $501 in cash. Now it looks like United will end paying millions directly in court or settlement costs, plus many more

I doubt i'll ever book with United again. I had a flight with United the exact same day as this incident for business but I assure you they've already lost at least $800 from me in future flights as a result of this... bullshit.

Couldn't agree more. A law requiring the airline to keep doubling the offer for volunteers every x minutes until y number take it will solve this problem 100% of the time.

Thinking I might be lactose intolerant I tried some lactose free milk some time ago. It was the best tasting and the longest lasting Milk I ever bought. Ever since, I tend to buy exclusively lactose free because of that.

Here's how I think the only possible way this will ever be realized: A non-profit organization will have one of the highest (top 10 to pick an arbitrary number) net-worths of any company on earth.

By US Culture my simple definition is the respect of the current laws of the US. The left doesn't respect some laws like immigration, so it's quite logical that they are for the mass influx of others who don't respect them e

The Government is elected by the people, who have specific rights under the Consitution. Once you start letting other cultures, many of whom are hostile to US Culture walk freely across the border, the country won't last very long. Y

Buying my first house gave me a high similar to some pain killers. Well, not literally, but it was so awesome having more space, more privacy, generally better neighbors and the ability to play music as loud as I want. I can also customiz

Haven't read the ruling, but from the Bloomberg story it seems the 9th circuit seemed to argue from a position of political idealism and not from the law. Maybe it's just buried in the decision but the Executive has long enjoyed

What international laws, treaty or treaties are you referring to? I find your statement very hard to believe, but I'm no expert.

Yes, the way it was communicated was pretty terrible. The Trump admin was contradicting each other which I think fueled 90% of this outrage.

I agree with that, and after the initial confusion it turns out green card holders are being allowed in, at least if they don't have an extensive criminal record[0]. [0] http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/29/polit

I know this will be unpopular, but I'm so sick of this topic already. Partly because there has been so much emotion and as a result, misinformation disseminated as part of this action from the media to social media. First, it was all

There is a fallacy at work here where people automatically assume that outright banning a substance through legal action is always wise or even always effective. And if the people die as a result, our attitude is essentially stuck on &#x27

I think Obama felt exactly the same way going into office, but quickly realized the people being sent to Gauntanamo Bay are as dangerous, ambitious and as hardened extremists as they had been saying. Releasing them would greatly increase t

I had a similar thing happen to a friend of the family whose business I provided IT services for. He had 2 servers and 2 rack mounted UPS's and a handful of other devices that all fit into the same rack. One day I needed to do some m
