There are multiple Marvel Captain Marvels and the first one was male. So you're not completely wrong there.

But I was way into the Marvel Family (Fawcett/DC) and know little about this one other than the whole thing is confusing.

Maximizing profit is more complicated than that. He could argue that building a long term brand is more important than the short term profit selling data would achieve.

If you have three populations: Apple loyalists, Android loyalists, and people who are willing to move from platform to platform, it would make sense that a period where more people moved from Android to iOS might be followed by the reverse. That assumes that most people don't want to deal with swapping out their software and either OS is good enough, but I think there's a case for that.

Property tax doesn't work like that in King County. The amount collected is fixed and it's divvied up by figuring out your ratio of appraised value to the county as a whole. As my house has gone up in value, my taxes have gone up some years and down others, depending on how the year went.

I don't know of anyone who thinks we'd be holding hands and loving each other sans the bots. This is an existing problem otherwise they'd have nothing to work with. However, there is evidence for them existing (since they've traced the activity back to Russia) so denying that this is happening at all is equally naive.

It's less trying to promote one side or the other than a case of Let's You and Him Fight where they just try to get everyone so mad at each other than the US has trouble governing. Trolls are less about converting people (although it's great if they can) and more about making the other side think their views are so insane that they can't be reasoned with. It's all an attempt to get us into increasingly frustrated self selected bubbles and it does seem to be working. ...but maybe I'm just bitter because the Russians didn't offer me a Lapras for helping them. I mean if you're going to use Pokemon Go, use it!

They marched with weapons outside a synagogue chanting antisemitic slogans during a sabbath service. Their goal was to inspire fear in those attending the service. I'm not a huge fan of antifa in general but in this case, they were needed for the safety of those who just wanted to mind their own business on their own property.

The next time someone uses "cracker" as a part of an organized movement to deny white Americans access to the ballot box, schools, or jobs will be the first.

Google is being investigated for gender pay inequality (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/07/google-pay-disparities-women-labor-department-lawsuit). Their response is that Google most definitely does not have this happening.

When someone comes in and tries to explain that it's natural for there to be one ("This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for
raises, speaking up, and leading."), and it leaks to the public, it gives the prosecution some extra evidence for their case and it also is horrible public relations.

At some point, the truth value of the article doesn't matter any more than than that John Kerry actually was making a valid point with, "I voted before it before I voted against it" [meaning that the bills had changed]. People who disagree on a volatile issue aren't likely to bend over backwards to see your point in the best light. Unless it's your job to do so, one should just never make public statements on hot button issues that affect your company if you also want job security.

I have a friend who has lived there her entire life and she's bitched about how people are now coming into meetings and derailing them. Everyone else is trying to get work done and they're ranting about some very obscure topic and how it's oppressing them. They don't have the best rep locally.

However, if the 20k people move, the other 49 states will become that much nicer of a place to live.

Personally I like living in a high cost of living/high salary location. It makes it a lot easier to travel. On the other hand, I bought a house before the bubble started. I might not be a fan otherwise.

It looks like this bill just forces ISPs to change their DNS information to not have sites in it. As horrible as that is (and it IS ridiculous), what would stop people from using 206.47.244.61/206.47.244.103 (Those are from Toronto via a quick Google look up. They're perhaps not the best ones available, but it's the kind of thing that you can search for.) or something at which point the Internet is exactly the same? Am I missing something?

The ones in Redmond, WA don't trigger for that if you stop... but they did give me a warning once for not coming to a complete stop first. The speed I was going?

0.012 mph

Yes, technically illegal, but I had thought I had come to a complete stop. The precision they have is beyond what a human does.
