And if we assume that what you are implying is 100% true and then a whole bunch more stuff as well, that excuses Trump how?

That's not at all true. If I took the camera off of my 'copter, I still have the GPS datalink to my controller enabling BVR flight. You're not *supposed* to fly BVR, but the lack of a camera is not the limiting factor.

Sad thing is, true Hillary supporters are so delusional they make Trump supporters look intelligent and well-grounded.

Fortunately, about 3/4 of Hillary supporters give their support only out of fear of being harassed, assaulted, or fired should they say something politically incorrect.

That will change if President Trump succeeds at revitalizing the economy and strengthening workers' position in the labor market. No longer compelled to pay lip service by fear of workplace retaliation, most of Hillary's "popular support" will evaporate.

The institutionalised bribery system of the worlds largest economy, otherwise known as lobbying, has been staggering the world for some time.
Isnâ(TM)t it time to change to an actual democracy that represent its people?

I hope they qualified "owner" a bit. Otherwise any manufacturer or retailer with unsold inventory is going to have a lot of paperwork to do.

Spending money now has been evaluated as being drastically cheaper than trying to fix things up later.
If the glacier dams give way, and we get a fairly sudden sea level rise, flooding most coastal cities, eg nyc, can you imagine the costs, the loss of life, the mad dash of millions to escape?
It sounds expensive. And of course there are humanitarian issues, but these seem to be ignored by the current USA government.
Itâ(TM)ll be way cheaper to dive in now, and get some real reductions, and possibly reduce the temperature rises to something tolerable.
Or do you believe all these scientists, polar bears, migrating trees, and retreating glaciers are all fake news?

I don't know about that, but Trump Haters have shown clearly they ARE cattle. MOOOOOVEON.

Pretty much, Silicon Valley has a habit of ignoring every law and thinking "it's OK, we work in tech," a bunch of corrupt marketing people, the entire area.

You have the right to do anything that isn't illegal. That's how our government is set up. I don't even see how the federal government has the power to regulate this - this is a state's rights issue.

There are over 5 million auto accidents a year. If Uber succeeds in automating vehicles they could theoretically get the number down near zero, but they won't. They'll get the number down to around 20%, be heros for it, and the government will be able to off 1 million political dissidents a year without anyone batting an eye. Driverless cars and by extension Uber (since their entire business model is built around buying time until they can replace their fleet with driverless cars) are corrupt by nature.

Unless it is done mass-scale and the economy crashes. Sure, you will not be the only one suffering, but a) you will be at the very bottom and b) you will have contributed to that crash. Nice lifetime-achievement.

The time to petition and call legislators to protest over this was BEFORE this new law was snuck through.

That was *A* time to call, to be sure.

But there's still another chance to convince the new FAA head that it's a bad idea to try and register every single drone.

I'm a bit surprised no-one has pointed out there's a way you could paint such a move as an action of lobbying - I'm sure DJI would not be happy with this kind of regulation, at all. Where are all you people who believe Trump is controlled by the Chinese and/or Russia?

If it was "as obvious as some though," we wouldn't need a special prosecutor to investigate in the first place. Robert Mueller has to be very careful at this point to cross all the t's and dot all the i's, and even more careful to stay politically impartial because even the slightest deviation (either way) could be the excuse Trump needs to oust him and kill the investigation completely.

put a halo on it, there's probably a religious exception for the christian supremacists.

Private sales are handled by the States. In Washington, for example, it used to be legal for private sales without a background check; lots of people traded their guns or sold them to friends, etc. It's not like some dude is selling them out of the trunk of his car. But I-594 passed a few years ago and now about the only exception is transfers between immediate family members.

In your world, does management create value? They don't feed anyone or transport anything, but they make the workers more efficient.

How about insurance? Risk management doesn't actually feed anyone either. Is that wasted?

How about banking? Lending doesn't feed anyone. Is it a waste for producers to have access to capital?

What do you think about art? No one eats art, at least not that I know of. Do you denounce art?

Your theory of value is straight up Marxian, and you still think that you should be entitled to dictate what work should be done.

Creating money does not create value

Serious question - what do you mean by "creating money" here? Do you mean like physically printing dollar bills? Or inflation in general? Or a new money system? Or do you mean that the invention of money as a concept added no value to the world?

The problem with bitcoin, now, is that it costs so much more than printing a dollar to calculate a new bitcoin. You are confusing this with creating value, while losing the benefit of all of that electricity is a net cost to society greater than the cost of printing a dollar.

If the bitcoin was just another inflationary fiat system managed by the powerful at the expense of everyone else, you might be onto something. But bitcoin isn't that - it is a money system that cannot be manipulated by anyone. No government and no bank gets to skim 5% of the world's savings away each year in inflation. Can you really see no value in that?

You can light a straw-fire once. You cannot do it again with the same straw.

Then keep flying and fight the law in court. If you're using it on private property and below 700 feet, I say it's a violation of your fourth amendment rights to even know. Furthermore, this would probably be a state's right, not an enumerated federal power.

As Bitcoin is basically hot air, there is not floor or ceiling value that has any meaning or distinction. It will not get up to anywhere near your predictions though, the supply of fools with money to spend is too small.

It's almost as if people don't like what he's doing whether he pre-announced (well, pre-tweeted) it or not.

Technically he didn't fulfill his promise on the wall since he promised that Mexico was going to pay for it.

I think a lot of people don't think that should matter for family. Dad gives kid allowance money. No tax paid. Dad buys car or pays rent for kid over 18. No tax paid on that. Parents pay tens of thousands for college, kid doesn't pay tax. I don't know any of your rules, I'm Canadian and not from a wealthy family. Are assets and cash taxed differently?

That would explain why some people have started to call crypto-currencies "crypto". Maybe they are not just morons after all...

You say that because our narrative-driven media doesn't cover those stories. The recent church shooting in Texas was in fact stopped by a good guy with his rifle. This is not the first time this has happened.

... about regulating motorcycles.

If corporate sponsored health care disappeared, we would most likely move to a Canadian style single payer system, and Medicaid and Medicare would be absorbed into it.

In Maoist China each factory ran a school for the children of their employees, so if you changed jobs, your kids had to switch to a different school. That is obviously an idiotic system, but getting your health care from you employer is just as idiotic, and you only think it makes sense because you are used to it.

Yay for less freedom!

Awesome thing is, reducing domestic freedom and funding more war have huge bipartisan support:

Soviet Union, we're catching up! Soon we'll be just as unfree as you were. Fuck yeah, go America!

Not likely. I've worked at six start-ups including one that went public and two that are moving in that direction. I was employee #80 at the one that went public, #666 at the next and #200ish at my current employer, so I speak from experience.

A strike price of $10 is not a realistic example. My strike prices have all ranged from 1/10 of a penny to $1.25. My most recent pre-IPO stock grants have been in the neighborhood of one dollar. So let's change your example to:

"Let's say you get 10,000 shares, at a strike price of $1.00"

So the $10K in debt is not likely to break most tech employees. As noted by others, the real trick is to buy your stock in such a way that you avoid short-term capital gains and the dreaded AMT.

Show of hands: Who here believes Trump knows what the fuck he's signing? Seriously.

It is. It is those holding the item in question mobilizing the last possible "greatest fools" buyers to get out of it themselves while they still can.

Indeed. Even funnier when they find out that while stocks may crash down to pennies, Bitcoin can crash down to absolutely nothing.

Um, yeah. They just may have thought of that one. Here's the robots.txt:

It will burst. And it will do so soon. Currently, the last fools available are buying, namely those with no money and no understanding of what is going on. That is those people taking out mortgages to buy at the current rate. After this supply of really great fools is exhausted, it is over.

Nobody is a billionaire on Bitcoin. You cannot sell that much without completely crashing the value.

And that is just it. This could not have been predicted. As a matter of fact, if this development could have been predicted, it would not have happened.

It seems a reasonable argument to me, but that's not the way it's fallen out.
