I'd say that this article is also attacking Trump by making the jump from 'he criticizes the media' to floating the idea that he probably wants to use the force of law to jail and silence them.

the market allows the DRM because people keep buying the content even when DRM is included, standardizing it may just mean less clunky implementations of DRM but if we were to ban DRM from the market would something else crop up to replace

The other side of the coin is that regardless of who is holding the money the government not being able to spend it could be considered a better allocation just because they are so damn wasteful. Just because the government SHOULD be correc

Those countries have way less population who can't contribute. The US is huge, there's so many more people who need healthcare but don't pay any taxes.

Yeah, and we ban people from public roads for bad behavior. Will we ban people from public healthcare for bad health choices? Do we really want to give the government that kind of exclusive control over a service while giving up control of

Yeah plus what a terrible analogy. The road is shared equally by everyone for the most part, my car tools along in a single lane. However if I smoke cigarettes and get cancer or eat myself into heart disease, this still doesn't cost an

But the 'rest of us' can only gain for as long as those people stick around to pay for it. There is a lot of wealth in this country, for now. If you wanna really see things go down hill then watch the wealth scramble out of the co

This problem is exactly why a single payer system would fail entirely, imagine if you could easily be a freeloader without having to move at all? I don't think the US has the same demographics as the other countries where this currentl

I think it's too early to know how it will play out but I suspect comparing car manufacturing to phone and computer manufacturing is like comparing apples to... well, you get the idea.

I feel like there is a race right now to be the first serious autonomous car maker because the nature of highways and infrastructure is such that it's hard to compete with what is already there. They want to set the standard and be pos

Most users will never notice this, and if some problem is solved using Electron well then Electron solved the problem, life goes on. If you don't like an app or how it behaves then just don't use it.

I've always felt like the intent of a warrant was to prove to ME that the police were authorized to search my property. I'm thinking back to when people had to physically show up and be allowed entry into your estate. If my feelin

drug cartels are a problem in Mexico, they might lose substantial amounts of business due to the wall (lots of drugs are sold in the US), which would be good for Mexico

there's no indication of foreign government involvement thus I am inclined to believe it was more likely someone on the inside trying to expose corruption, get revenge, or both

The reason he said it was 'rigged' is because of the overwhelming bias and frankly twilight-zone behavior of the media who are clearly donating to Clinton and wanting to maintain whatever special privileges they have under Obama.

To jail his political opponents? That sounds like a convenient way of spinning the fact that he wants Hillary Clinton to be properly investigated, the fact that she is a political opponent has nothing to do with her crimes. Dang... a Presid

He won't be suing anyone from the Oval Office. His lawyers will be suing people after the election for making up false accusations, which is still this year, still during the Obama administration... Does anyone REALLY think that someon

He didn't say he would contest a loss, he said he wouldn't make a decision until the election actually took place. How anyone expects someone to predict the future is beyond me and the logic of the question shows that it was total

But aren't they already self-aware? My computer has a better awareness of its own memory than I have of my own. Is it consciousness or humanness that we are talking about here? We could make it extremely self aware but never give it fe
