Learn the difference between figurative language and literal language.
The British empire handed over the duties of ocean exploration to private companies, who were more interested in making a buck (pound/guinea) than in serving the public interest. That they did serve the public interest was a secondary effect, but not the intended effect.
I will be mourning the death of publicly-funded space travel. Now, we hand it over to the pirates, slave-traders and privateers of our own era.
The only time you need factories like this is n preparation for a global conflict.
Is the DoD expecting WWIII?
That's kind of their job. Expect the worst, hope for the best.
These are the guys who make contingency plans for just about everything, so on some level, yes, they probably are expecting WWIII.
> What they shouldn't do is say: 'I want to reduce drug use, and sending all users to prison is the most cost-effective way to achieve that.' That's not at moral call, it's a factual statement; as such it should be evidence-based, or else the person making it should shut the hell up."
That is opinion, which can be driven by facts, but the two are never the same.
There will inevitably be that One Guy who wants to bring his gun collection and may [deity] help the people in the cabins next to him because they will never know a peaceful sleep again.
You know, if you have a CIO with business sense and tech sense, why do you need the CEO?
And thousand of fanbois goes "nutso" because Ashton isn't "deep" enough to play first class prima donna Jobs
If serious about that (and I don't know if this ain't still April Fools) Ashton have really good look alike similarity to early Jobs, he has good screen energy (yeah, I know it gets wasted on lot of useless things, but still - he has charisma), and I guess he is really aching to prove himself as good actor. And material is interesting - Jobs was complex persona. Maybe it will work, I don't know.
Anyway, as any artistic rendering - you can watch it, you can pirate it, you can ignore it. Your choice.
It isn't because he's not deep.
It's because Ashton Kutcher is a bad actor.
I second this comment.
As a general rule, I try to skim once to find pertinent information and skip over filler content, something that is next-to-impossible with video. Having a transcript makes this much easier (especially in Q&A sessions).
Additionally, I can take in the content as time allows, with minimal backtracking to pick up the context when I have to break away to do something else.
There has to be a line drawn between OMG-FREEDOM-AT-ALL-COSTS and posting sexual pictures of children. Living in a civil society requires some level of protection of the innocent. Reddit should shut the hell up about slippery slopes and do what it should have done six freaking years ago.
And where is that line? Obviously, someone younger than 18 is off-limits, except in countries where they're not
I'm not seeing any bright lines in there.
