The number of leftists who believe "NO immigrants should be deported" is very very close to zero. You even pad out your question by purposely adding all the categories where a vast majority would say yes to deportation, to make sure your claim is as wrong as possible. And then go on writing 3 more paragraphs as though you said some true fact. Pretty sad.

So you think any action that takes more than one person is a "conspiracy theory"?????

Russia absolutely wanted to mess with American politics. However they certainly thought Hillary would win, so they had no reason to deal with Trump at all. What they wanted was to make sure there was plenty of fear and distrust of Hillary, and as many opponents as possible elected in the legislature.

The modern conspiracy theory is that because Russia did not do any deal with Trump, then Russia messing with politics is a "hoax". All really really sad and stupid.

I'm pretty certain the GP was trying to be funny.

Nope did not happen.

All easily solved by adding loudspeakers to the bike

I'm pretty certain an electric motorcycle will be at least as dangerous as a gas one.

Unfortunately it does not look like "the loser's faction will move to the middle". Witness what Democrats are getting the biggest buzz. It is obvious that extremism on one side makes the other side say "hey we can be just as extreme in the opposite direction!". This is despite the fact that the stupidest person working for either party knows that if they just put out a MODERATE candidate that they would wipe the floor with the opponent.

I voted against Trump. But I am seriously afraid what we are going to get next election is "left-wing Trump", just as hell-bent on destroying perceived enemies, and not caring one bit what it does to the people and the country.

Yes I have heard of Warp Speed, and fully believe it was the reason the vaccine was developed so quickly.

Are you really so dense that you believe complete rubbish that has been quoted to you?

What do you mean by that? They both work out to the same thing just with a different syntax.

TIOBE basically searches a bunch of search engines and other things for "$LANGUAGE programming", applies some magical fudge factor and calls that a result.

It's absolute nonsense. It's highly manipulable if you can convince people to use the " programming" wording. It's going to be highly affected by the appearance and disappearance of documentation websites. It will of course still pick up ancient archives of stuff that nobody is actually using today.

I have an extreme skepticism of that VB is anywhere near the top 10. The original VB died long, long ago. VB.NET wasn't backwards compatible in the slightest and I don't think it ever had much adoption, because what's even the point? You might as well use C# instead. In fact long ago I had a VB project I considered transitioning to VB.NET and quickly decided it wasn't worth it, and went with C#. That was somewhere in the early 2000s, and I don't think it's gotten any more appealing since.

TIOBE is still nonsense of the highest order, not sure why anyone bothers using it.

It's some search engine counts based voodoo. Maybe not the most terrible metric possible, but I have no idea why it's the one always being discussed when there's better things one could measure at this point. Like say, GitHub.

If we want to know what's currently most popular, what we should want is measuring the actual usage. That might be projects, or commits, depending.

Sorry I guess I'm going to have to ask a more specific question. Do you have an example of anybody owning a few million $ in bitcoin *exchanging ALL of it* for something that is not Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency or crypto asset. The fact that you can exchange a small amount of bitcoin for the equivalent amount of dollars does not prove anything.

There are examples of people exchanging their entire hold of hundreds of millions in gold or stocks, without the value of those commodities crashing. Would like proof this is the same for bitcoin.

Do you have ANY examples of somebody exchanging more than about 1 bitcoin for anything other than other cryptocurrency?

With a wild twisting of words this author added "meaning the emissions were dumped up-front in China's coal plants" to try to make this sound bad.

ALL "manufacturing emissions" are "dumped up-front". There is not something special about China or using coal. And even with the 2x or more CO2 emissions of coal, a solar power panel replaces all that CO2 emission in just a few months, which is an awful lot better than a lot of other things that people claim are green.
