Most people under 50 don't pay much attention to the news. People such as yourself are the minority. The majority are primarily entertainment consumers. Fact consumers such as you are a small sample of voters, like it or not. The challenge is motivating and messaging the indifferent majority without alienating the fact-driven and motivated minority...because democracy is a game of getting the most total votes.

If they can get this done you can be sure they'll try to invent ways to prevent "unfriendly" news providers from being on the Internet. Most Internet providers are small and lack sufficient money, legal representation and political influence. It would actually be pretty easy for the government to convince their Internet service providers to deny their access and get their domains removed from DNS. If Russia and China can do it, so can the U.S.

And Brexit worked splendidly for Britain, right?
Right...?

They prefer the shorter "Fake News!"
This crew's creed is "Perception is reality."
By controlling the information you receive they seek to control your perception of reality.
This is the goal of propaganda.
This is how they manufacture consent.
Reject it. Demand a fact-based reality.

Yeah, nobody lives there anymore.
It's too crowded.

So we're taking a superior, simpler power source and drive chain and adding a fake clutch to make it simulate an older, inferior power source and drive chain.
Brilliant. In 25 years people will look at these and wonder "what the hell were they thinking?"

I guess Ohio Man is now in competition with Florida Man.

There is no excusing a pathological liar who repeatedly tells lies to deceive people with a financial stake in their company.

In the "grand scheme of things" this scheme is straight-up corruption.
The value of the emolument is only relevant to the severity of the criminal sentence.

Suckers.

It's said a sucker is born every minute but that clearly underestimates the size of the sucker pool.

You cannot predict whether your children will be able or willing to do a particular job. You cannot predict their aptitudes, interests, or fitness. The best you can do is help them figure out what they can or cannot do and encourage and support them to maximize their outcomes.

Who knew that replacing gravity as a means to contain a stable continuous nuclear fusion reaction would be such a challenge?
Heh....

That's simply wrong. The vast majority of Craigslist listings are free and have been since its beginning.
Craig Newmark is one of my heros. Full stop.

P.S.: The site ranks as the 40th most popular website in the United States. It's neither useless nor unpopular. I've bought, sold and given away a ton of stuff on Craigslist. People who avoid using it are just shooting themselves in the foot. I've tried renting out our apartments on several other commercial websites and Craigslist remains my preferred platform.

You might be right, but the article didn't declare a champion. It just declared the programmable skin could mimic an octopus's skin.
