Look, twitter would be a better place if it removes comments like "you stupid bitch" and "you neckbeard racist". They are content free attacks that diminish the value of what one gets out of tweeter.

I would equally ban Killary/Drumpf postings. If you cannot make a point without a childish nickname, go some place else. This does not censor content, it censors non-content and has no bias per se to the left or right.

There are indeed some issues that need to be worked out, but this one in particular is taken care if we assume that the wind travels at the speed of light, i.e. if composed of photon-like particles.

Thank you for proving my point. That is a list of 16 things that are wrong with Obamacare (some of which are plain false, such as premiums "skyrocketing" over five years) followed by five "proposals" four of which are platitudes, such as "Work with Congress to create a patient-centered health care system that promotes choice, quality, and affordability."

The only effective actionable proposal is to make insurance market open across all 50 states.

This is a typical example of Trump's modus operandi. Call everything a disaster, just because isn't perfect. Spout platitudes about making it great again, then give few (usually none) effective steps to fix the problem.

It doesn't work that way. The gravity effect doesn't become infinitesimally small, it actually drops with the inverse square of the distance which is just what the physics predict.

Proportional to the inverse square you mean?

Again, get your facts straight. Most immigrants take cash based jobs and bunk up when freshly arrived, but want to move up from that soon, just the same as you would. Their use of emergency rooms is no different than any other poor American and it is subsidized by your health insurance, not your taxes. Obamacare makes those free-riders contribute a portion of those costs, and any true Republican would be in favor of this, which is why Romney proposed it when he was governor in Massachusetts.

Actually most immigrants pay taxes since they use somebody else's Social Insurance Number to collect their wages. They also pay sales tax and property tax through their monthly rent.

Funny you say that, since it is you who is under the false impression that illegal immigrants pay no taxes because of Trump media kool-aid.

It is a particle wind. The interaction is not with the surface like a sail on a boat, but with individual atoms, like in an X-ray picture.

Boat analogy: you are thinking of a sail made of canvas. A better analogy would be using a fishing net as a sail. Surface area is no longer that important, but rather the total number of knots that were hoisted.

Exactly, I'm not scared of his policies because we have no clue what they are. I'm scared that he doesn't seem to surround himself with highly competent people. He's three main advisors Guliani, Newt and Christie are proven losers. An inexperienced president with bad advisors gives you Bush, and inexperience president with good advisors gives you Obama. I think their final approval ratings reflect this.

If you have a particle like the neutrino, which mostly goes through matter, then mass is the most important thing. The more massive you are (dense or not dense) the likelier you are to have an interaction with the wind particle and thus stop the particle from reaching the other body.

The problem with "pie in the sky" research is that for every honest-to-god researcher you attract a dozen charlatans that promise you the world in your hand in ten years. Then the system selects for the best charlatans, the ones that make you believe the breakthrough is around the corner, even though there is no hard evidence for it. The MIT Media Lab blew through billions of dollars in this mode, with little to show for it.

AI has gone through several cycles of this, with the end result that generally weaker students were being attracted to it. One of the reasons AI is more successful today is that the last AI winter was so severe that weak students stopped going to AI, so what was left is honest smart researchers spending all their time in science instead of press releases.

As deep learning becomes more popular we see the return of the weaker minds, with flashy results of little or no practical significance, but plenty of PR value.

You know the type, the people who tell you a slogan and make it seem like they have a solution (ahem Yes we can, Make America great again ahem), but when you stop and think about you realize they were full of "ideas" and bereft of execution.

My money is still on gravity being the result of particle wind (maybe neutrinos, maybe some other such). A body resting in isolation is bombarded in all directions and suffers "no gravitational attraction". Place a massive body near by, which blocks the wind in one direction and you see "gravitational attraction" in that direction. Several physicists have tried this angle and made progress but ultimately failed to make it work. However, it still seems the most economical and logically consistent explanation.

Yes Hillary is all that, but Trump is that squared. Yes Hillary voted for the war in Iraq, but it was the republican party who went to war in Iraq, in unanimous support. Yes Clinton signed NAFTA, but free trade has always had more support from the republicans than the democrats. You were tired of OJ Simpson and his criminal activities so you elected a member of the Charles Manson family as a "protest vote".

Are you sure you really thought that through?

Not in their selection of what to report (and this applies to other media as well). So while the NYT might spend a lot of time reporting yet another apocalyptic AGW prediction, FoxNews will instead concentrate on yet another overblown Hillary email scandal.

Yes, like their main news channel being self-described as "fair and balanced"... oh, wait!

Or by having someone with 100% conservative credentials (Megan Kelly) suddenly being accused of being a closet liberal (or RINO) the moment they say something different than Cheeto Jesus. Yeah, no conservative bias there.

Europe and Canada give already far greater amounts to people coming in. Make a political refugee claim in either one and you get a rather decent check no questions asked until such a time they can go over your file, usually many months, even years later.

Europe has had "gift-giving" programs for over forty years, yet their deficits and taxation levels overall are lower than they in the 1970-1980s. There is no such runaway spiral in reality. This is just an argument from the rich to keep the poor down.
