The laundry list is to narrow down the field of job seekers to a specific person whom they've already chosen who lives overseas, in order to prove to regulators that they couldn't find a qualified candidate within the USA and need that H-1B approved.

I've long thought the argument for green energy should always have been economic and geopolitical, not environmental.

It's actually not an either-or question. Economists agree that the markets works best when market failures such as negative externalities are corrected, and so, in an efficient market, environmental and economic issues are inseparably linked. With the cost of CO2 emissions fully and accurately internalized into the price of fossil fuels, the question then becomes: what energy source to use that minimizes environmental harm in order to maximize profits?

The harm that might occur [from blackmail, swatting, or doxxing], has nothing to do with the speech per se, but the actions of someone with the content.

And therefore those acts are perfectly harmless. Thanks for clearing that up!

they are forms of speech that can harm a person.

Still no... Even if there is harm

You appear to be conflicted on whether there's harm or not.

Whenever I experience cognitive dissonance, it takes me hours, sometimes days of deep thought and research to resolve it.

How have we digressed so far that it is expected that our fellow citizens cannot be entrusted in forming their own opinions based on multiple points of view and expressions?

Because truth is no match for fiction.

On social media, it's generally ok to spread misinformation, but generally not ok to call someone a liar for it. We've taken political correctness a bit too far. Would you rather be lied to politely, or told the truth harshly?

These are covered by different laws. Already.

Yes, because they are forms of speech that can harm a person.

Doxxing, swatting, and blackmail will never hurt you? These are all examples of speech.

The further you spread people out, the more you need cars.

There's a third option that reduces both driving and also air pollution levels in residential areas: small but dense cities/towns perhaps 2 miles in diameter for walkability, surrounded by nature or farmland to ensure fresh breezes and other health benefits, linked together by electric trains for commuting to other towns.

"We will be lucky if we can make the transition from our current circumstances to a future of re-sized, re-scaled cities and a reactivated productive rural landscape outside them, with a hierarchy of hamlets, villages, and towns in between, and some ability to conduct commerce and manufacturing." --James Howard Kunstler, A Reflection on Cities of the Future.

Those capacitive "button" arrays are CHEAPER than real buttons.

And membrane keyboards were cheaper than mechanical keyboards, which is part of why the Sinclair ZX81/Timex Sinclair 1000 was so cheap. And sucked.

I stopped using my 1st generation Roku for a year or two and then a couple of months ago I hooked it up again but it won't register. I think Roku changed something in the registration and/or update process and I missed the update so now I can't do either.

This comes after Roku kept bringing out new models but put them under the old ASIN numbers on Amazon so that the old comments carried over to the new models and made it difficult to find relevant reviews.

Roku introduced me to online streaming but I just can't stand them anymore.

A camera can only cover a very small area before big cars start to block smaller cars from view of the camera.

Brick and mortar stores act as showrooms and fitting rooms which benefit online retailers, so brands who want to stay relevant need to subsidize them from online sales.

Well, that ONLY works if you live in a densely packed, highly urban city. Not how everyone lives that way in the US, nor do they want to live that way.

The high price of urban housing suggests that more people want to live that way than can afford to, just as a line out the door is a sign of a good restaurant.

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." --Yogi Berra

How the hell does anyone buy any groceries of any size each week without a car?

They live within walking distance of the nearest grocery store, and they buy groceries a few times a week so they don't have to make big trips. Walking is healthy, and they also get fresher meat, dairy and produce that way.

We don't need autonomous vehicles to take dangerous drivers off the streets. We just need more of these!
