The population of Japan may not need it, but some capitalists may need to be convinced of their preferred system's inherent immortality.

I don't think he's saying that there's anything "wrong" with it. Just that it's not enough to really kickstart the faltering economic engine back into its top gear.

I think you're giving the "average American" way too much credit for subtlety. When we want to be Xenophobic with our food, we rename French Fries to Freedom Fries. See? All obnoxious-like. I think we just like Bacon.

Yeah, what is that? "The great thing about living in Atlanta is that it's so easy to leave!"

I mean, don't get me wrong. It is an added convenience to have access to the time a bit more quickly. If I'm checking the time, there's a decent chance I'm in a rush for something. But yeah, almost purely fashion.

That's very much the point. The FBI can make an argument that they weren't trying to gain access (since a real attempt to gain access would have looked different from "entering miscellaneous strings"). They were trying

Exactly. Why, as a consumer, do I care that Comcast needs to keep its shareholders satisfied by generating profits? If that need drives them to provide better QoS at lower cost than a municipal option, then great. If it doesn't, then t

Vermont is just about the most pragmatic state in the union that I know of, and it took them this long to finally try this approach out. Give it time.

If a five year old wants to learn how to read better, then teach them. If they don't, let them learn something else.

I don't think you read what I wrote. I could come up with all kinds of shit I want 6 years olds to do, and come up with tests for it. The point isn't whether or not I could. The point is whether or not I should.

And that's the whole problem. They're trying to manage kindergarteners. I find the attitude that I assume must be driving this agenda to be so presumptuous as to be infuriating. In order to test something, you must know what it

I don't think that's true in and of itself. The election cycles have been 4 years since the founding of the country, but this level of short-term thinking has, I think, gotten worse over time. Personally, I think it has to do with

Some of us, at least, pretty much hate all social networks.

> You'd see tobacco+marijuana cigarettes too - a highly marketable combination of high and addiction. Damn, right there's almost good enough reason to oppose legalization.

Possibly, though I imagine that tobacco companies would probably find away to be the biggest beneficiaries if it suddenly became legal.

No absolute decline, but as I assume that the larger tech space has been growing, holding steady equates to an overall mindshare decline. Unless my understanding of Google Trends is off.

He's not trying to guilt companies into paying more taxes. Fairly certain he knows that would be a colossal waste of time. He's trying to stir up support for closing the loopholes.
