Couldn't agree more. We need to put the "social" back into social media.

"Opening an investigation" means nothing before a conclusion is reached.

The accusations could be valid or totally baseless, investigations are opened regardless and specifically to find out validity.

Please specify some of these important things that you clearly feel would be okay having stolen from you personally.

Or did you mean it's okay to steal as long it's from other people?

yes, nuclear reprocessing is actually a fairly old technology and it closes the nuclear fuel cycle, leaving only short lived byproducts.

It is currently illegal in America because reprocessing spent nuclear fuel produces weapons grade plutonium which is a proliferation risk. The economics are not great either since it's cheaper to just mine more uranium and pay to store the (5% used) fuel.

France and Russia have a few plants that do it though.

If by covid you mean general national health concerns including polio, smallpox, measles, rubella, salmonella, E. coli, cholera and ebola, then yes.

That's exactly the argument behind regulation to keep us from getting sick.

I can't believe you seriously just suggested Google is going to abandon Chrome.

Next up, Microsoft is going to abandon Word. Also, Facebook is going to abandon Facebook. This is why no one takes these conversations seriously. All vitriol, no substance.

A model 3 MSRP is $45k. A used one can be found for even less than that.

Check your local car prices, b/c that is not really that expensive and certainly nowhere close to "rich" territory.

A fully loaded F-150 is $78k. I would be shocked if you also said anyone driving an F-150 is by definition rich.

Also, a cheap used car may be drastically less expensive to buy for most people, but they will ultimately pay thousands of dollars of maintenance, part replacements, fluid changes and gas which a Tesla really never has to deal with, ever. No one seems to talk about this.

Their cell phones didn't use cell phone technology?

What on earth are you talking about?

Ha, I mean, that's not weird at all. Texans say that all the time.

Six flags theme parks are quite literally named after the six different flags that have flown over Texas as a nod to it being an independent entity regardless of which larger nation currently lays claim to it.

No one treats it that way.

A reasonable person should understand it not as requesting to make subjective personal judgments but rather as what it clearly was meant as: "Don't be Microsoft"

Swift was, and that's on GitHub :)

What market though? There is no search market. It is a service given away for free. There is no such thing as a monopoly on something that does not cost anything.

That sounds extremely accurate, and not for the extremes either.

Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh began the mantra of refusing to compromise on any position. They are anything but extreme and are really more the torch bearers. Rush was even awarded a Presidential medal of Freedom.

And sensitivity to issues of fairness is hardly an extreme position. That's probably the most mainstream belief associated with liberalism and just plain being a good human being.

What bias?

You have your terms backwards.

Fusion is what they are doing here. Fission we have already figured out and have been generating power from for decades.

Fusion does not have the runaway reaction safety issues that fission has.

Also, what you're describing is what we've known since we fairly easily harnessed fusion to make a hydrogen bomb.

Controlling the reaction rate so it doesn't explode is metastable with fission, and nearly impossible with fusion. This solution is basically just using tiny explosions.
