Or perhaps, it is like saying the term "Iran" can be seized after a lawsuit.

Isn't it obvious? Since any disparity with proportions in the general population can only mean some sort of deliberate discrimination, we are forced to conclude that Silicon Valley is unfairly biased in favor of Asian people.

Judge for yourself, looks counterclockwise to me

Well, the US government is already doing this so the Russkies are behind again.

I think he means plate tectonics, as in the land mass that would be Siberia was a lot further south at that point.

Not changing the boarding order was a judgement call. Threatening to call the police over a critical tweet wasn't a judgement call, that was execrable behavior and the person making that decision should be fired.

And now all the pot farming is going to make it even worse.

I don't see how yet another huge unaccountable Federal agency is going to resolve the problem.

1. Write software to sandbox $APPLICATION
2. Release report exaggerating "increase in vulnerabilities" in $APPLICATION
3. Profit!

I think you should call this "SecurityBrick 3000" and tout its security features more.

A BHO is essentially the same thing as an extension, that is just what Microsoft calls it.

Frank Herbert wrote in a few of his sf novels about a Bureau of Sabotage that did essentially that, gumming up the efforts of other government agencies

If you cross your boarders they may not pay the rent, then where will you be?

Or if you like, Coke v. Pepsi is not a good analogy because those products are substitutes for each other. A hydrogen fuel cell car is not a substitute for a gas car, people will not simply switch from one to the other due to price concerns. There are a lot of other factors, such as availability of fueling stations, proximity to qualified service providers, and so on. So the people who will buy the fuel cell car are going to buy one regardless. all this handout will do is add the $20k to the price for the manufacturer to profit. Now if the supporting infrastructure for both types of cars were identical, the analogy might be more apt. But in that case there would be no supposed need for the handout would there? Perhaps the money might be better spent building out fuel stations instead of just effectively handing it out to a politically favored car manufacturer.

An excellent point. But what do you think the business will do when someone else is handing out money to buy their new product? At the very least, any incentive they have to control costs or reduce prices just went out the window. The Coke analogy isn't quite right since that price is long established by market competition, and coupons are typically backed by the manufacturer or the reseller, i.e. someone in the sales chain, as opposed to some third party whose only involvement is handing out money. In other words, the coupon is in business terms indistinguishable from a price cut. Whereas the $20k handout is simply more profit to be made from customers who would have bought it for $50k but can now 'afford' to pay $70k
