People said the same thing about the printing press. It's a paradigm shift for sure, and will likely lead to all sorts of bad things before humanity adapts and keeps chugging along. Should it be controlled? How would you feel if the cu

Is it a debate though? It was a dredged up letter from the 1980s, and didn't the initial dredger express regret about doing it?

If you like Alibaba then just keep holding. After the sale it is basically a tracking stock for BABA. If you don't like BABA then you should probably sell? Frankly, if you are asking strangers what to do with some stocks you bought, yo

How would that work? Your money doesn't just sit in your account. The banks use it to fund loans. Loans that they make money on. That's the premise of the whole finance system...

No I'm indifferent because networks to urban poor communities already exist. It's much cheaper for a provider to build out inside of a city than out to a town in the middle of nowhere. Rather than assuming motives you should asses

This is correct. There are rural programs like CAF to subsidize the construction of internet connections in rural communities. I'm not sure if anything exists (or needs to) for the urban poor.

My point was more around the shotgun blast of campaign promises she put out. How should we measure that? If Trump nails even a few of his promises, he might arguably meet more of his campaign promises than HRC would have. Yes there absolute

Holding government to account is a good thing, thanks Sam. I have to wonder though if we'd see the same level of scrutiny if HRC had won.

This seems really weird to me... didn't news just come out claiming Tidal was exaggerating user numbers? Why would Sprint dink around with Tidal when they could be hoarding cash to buy or merge with T-Mobile? Very weird timing..

If the state is cutting your funding year after year it sounds like they aren't getting a good ROI from the university via well trained employees or prospering companies? What state are we talking about if you don't mind?

We live within a rules-based system. For Manning the rule was "We'll give you this security clearance, here are 100 classes about not spilling the things you know to anyone else." I too am troubled by the decision, but it doe

The statement that only 2% are high profile targets is kind of misleading. The vetting that goes into assessing whether military age males are actually doing bad things is surprisingly high. I am not saying mistakes were not made. Civilians

I don't like subsidizing poor lifestyle choices to any degree. I hope whatever comes next takes things like choosing to drink, smoke, and eat too much into account.
