He's not, but if you're a gallon of gasoline, the remotest spark can seem like a huge threat to your very existence, which is what I took the overreaction to the memo to be. He spoke his mind, with citations, and he was torched for it, and the left wing outlets except for Joe Rogan and Dave Rubin had no interest in letting his real story come out, because the overreaction, the firing and the ongoing assault on his character is shameful if you ask me.

I've heard from (a random Youtube video) that opiates mimic/activate some of the same brain circuits as pleasant socializing.

I've read the "journalists lean left, owners lean right" mantra many, many of times over the last 10 years on various boards, yet the overwhelming majority of network news and shows, cable news and entertainment shows dump on Republicans/Conservatism and fawn over Democrats/Liberalism. IMO, it's a very misleading idea meant to deceive people into thinking their sources of news or entertainment are somehow more honest than they actually are.

Would anyone know why a small purchase from Coinbase would still be pending two full weeks or more after funds had left my checking account? Their support isn't too helpful. I've made other successful buys and sells, but one transaction is just stuck pending it seems and they're not being very helpful.

Turn on virtually any television station, cable channel, read a newspaper, search for political topics on Google and you're going to be absolutely flooded with left-wing messaging to the tune of 10 to 1 vs right-wing.

An analyst who attended the meeting at the CDC in Atlanta told The Washington Post that instead of “evidence-based” or “science-based,” policy analysts are instructed to use the phrase, “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.”

Sounds like a quibble over form, it's not like they're removing the science itself.

Let's please focus on breaking up ISP Monopolies, NN-like effects would be achieved, and much more, by doing so.

I have a linked bank account. Can you elaborate please, how could I have possibly made them "angry" at me for buying Litecoins?

No my account was opened over 3 months ago with a verified phone number.

My account is over 3 months old. They took my money and successfully gave me my tiny bit of ETH and BTC, but for some reason my litecoin transaction is stuck in the ether.

Well now I'm worried. I also bought a tiny amount of ETH and BTC which is still in my account but I'm really worried about getting the funds out, even if it's just a refund of my original USD.

Did you end up getting your coins from Coinbase?

Coinbase should solve it's coinbase trust issue. I bought a small amount of litecoin almost 2 weeks ago, i'm well past my "delivery by" date, my funds left my bank account over 10 days ago, yet I still don't have my coins in my account.

I wish all our energy being spent on NN would go towards breaking ISP monopolies, it would achieve the same goals of NN including better services, cheaper prices.

That's a great question, one that I wish all this energy would go into addressing.

That's precisely why I'm NOT in a frenzy over this decision. Immediately, it means nothing to anyone, and even though I don't like seeing protections removed, it's possible that consumers may just win at the end of the day. IMO the big tragedy here is that we even needed NN in the first place, violators of the original Internet openness philosophy should be campaigned at the corporate level to bring them in line.

They just announced another increase the other day, what caused that?

And also because costs are relatively predictable with Auto Insurance, unlike Medical, where costs skyrocket very quickly. Also, Car Insurance requirements also stipulate clear minimums that the insurance must carry.

IMO Auto Insurance is a lot closer to Dental than Medical.

"We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken."

How is this not a simple task?

Far too simple of an analogy. First there is competition between miners so there's never going to be a single source, plus there are millions mined already in the pool. Also, bitcoins are currently divisible to 8 decimal places but that can be changed as soon as it's needed.

It's quite possible in 20 years that 0.000000000001 of a bitcoin will make the average house payment and by then, we'll have friendly names for all the decimal places.

So the main point of the article is that China controls > 50% of the mining pool. Is there any reason what-so-ever that multiple companies would ever want to collude and fork it, and thus crashing the value to 0?

Free speech has become a political tool. Content providers as you indicated like Twitter, and i'll add Reddit, push their political agendas very heavily. It was very interesting to see Reddit (or many subreddits anyway) campaigning against recent NN plans on grounds of there being an impact to their rights to free speech. The rooster is killing the chick's and complaining to the Hen about a wolf outside.

I think the EFF is dead wrong here, but I'm open to be convinced otherwise. Aside from the trappings of fame itself, is there any precedent where a public official has been restricted from certain rights that they previously enjoyed in their private lives?

Maybe once you become an elected official, you can no longer chase people off your front lawn. They have a right to speak so maybe that's more important than your private property rights. Maybe they can demand you charge their iphones while they're protesting on your street corner? The government is paying for their salary anyway, shouldn't a protested politician be required to support the protestors in the name of free speech? How far does this go?

I whole-heartedly agree that ISP's shouldn't be outright blocking anything. I'm Pro-Net Neutrality Net-whatever to keep the pipes open and unfettered by greedy corporations.

I'm just pointing out the sheer hypocrisy of the recent campaigns talking about censorship as a possibility when the right has been getting attacked/censored by every big SV company in recent years. Now they're crying about possibility when they're engaged in the very act themselves. I guess they're right, they would know, so yeah i'm pro-NN.

This is precisely what rubs me the wrong way about the current pitches for net neutrality and why you won't see the right budge anytime soon. NN is being painted as a censorship issue by the biggest censorship-happy organizations in SV. To date, the only threats to consumers have come in the form of possible throttling and not outright blocking of certain speech. The only precedent I know of regarding censorship of the net has been at the hands of Twitter, Google and Youtube, Reddit, and Facebook, who are happily deleting all the political content they feel like at the moment whether it's illegal activity being discussed or not.

As my peer below stated, Comcast was caught disrupting P2P traffic which I hope gets addressed, but that's not how NN it's being sold and sensationalized today.

Edit: Clarifications

I like the idea behind RISC-V's open architecture but I had a question. Does it do or even try to do anything about the cloud of uncertainty surrounding Intel ME and the AMD equivalent in x86?

Lenovo only got fined 3.5M? Cheap, not counting the reputation hit anyway.

If anyone knows how to slow down systems with their software, it's definitely HP. Haven't used one in awhile, but you could get a boost similar to going from a mechanical hard drive to an SSD by reloading the OS without all their bloatware. I wonder, has any security researchers ever thought about going back to circa-2005 printer software to see what it was up to?

Leaning just implies that they aren't completely fallen over to one side, which I think is very much the case.

Well said. I think the left in America today are closer to the true Nazi's than they realize. The campuses of today are churning out SJW's who are often racist (against white/europeans), fine with violence against their opponents and have quite simply been radicalized in some ways to hate the first and second amendment.

I think left "leaning" is a bit understated.
