If you had enough money such that reversing fraud would become a huge hindrance for your bank, you probably cannot initiate any major monetary moves without the involvement of a real person, likely one you actually know. Online banking is f

It's of course possible. In fact electronic voting could be safer. The issue is that voting has nothing to do with technical details of safety and everything to do with trust. If your electorate doesn't understand modular arithmet

How can that be? Maybe gold, but the euro has fallen relative to the dollar.

I mean sure. But he's not even doing anything dictatorial. Most of his actions are well within the laws of the United States. Not more than any other president.

There is no dictator ship though. These takes are insane. Hate trump as much as you want (I certainly dislike him).... He's the democratically elected president of the US

Well... That's only part of the problem. The real problem is that Congress delegated all its responsibility to the executive and judicial branches. To the executive branch it gave the power to declare war (war power act), and to make n

Why does social welfare need to be handled at the federal level? There seems to be no explanation for why people insist on this other than that it must be so.

We killed millions over the ability to own humans because the north viewed it as a religious duty to do so. This is demonstrated in our national hymn, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, which talks about how God is damning to hell the old sou

People who are in the country illegally undermine the rule of law and make people feel unheard leaving people to elect demagogues like trump. I predicted exactly this outcome with the election of Obama and his policies. How can the supposed

If you are in this country illegally to begin with, then yes, going to court and following procedure will still result in deportation and a permanent ban on entry. While following the post-crime procedure is indeed laudable, the prescribed

I can agree with (1) and (5). (2) -- why can't you raid a church? A church is not a special place. America is not a theocracy which gives sacrosanct respect to some portions of land. (3) The US has every right to revoke legal status wi

Sure, that's extremism. That has nothing to do with ICE using software to identify illegal migrants. The argument in the article was not that the software often gets it wrong, but that -- even if it were right -- something would be wro

Ignore the worst of the worst framing. Even a person who is unobjectionable but who is in the country without legal authorization is fine to be deported. I'm not going to pearl clutch over it. Estimates say that up 3-5% of the entire a

You can but the firmware that is needed to run it is American, because the hardware is American. Even if the company wants to open source it, the US government can block it in whatever country.
