You misspelled "intrusive".

One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

The fact that they reference a bunch of past breaches and supply chain attacks - but give absolutely zero explanation about how said attacks would be prevented by US manufacturers, nor any explanation of additional cybersecurity controls they will mandate on them - tells you everything you need to know about this.

This is about protectionism, not cybersecurity.

If it had to do with cybersecurity, then a set of objective evaluation criteria could be applied to ANY router, regardless of origin.

To prevent bots from clogging up the platform bla bla bla. When asked, a lot of democrat politicians said they were in favor of this idea. A reporter asked you are in favor of this, would you be in favor of photo ID for voting, to make voting more safer? The democrat politicians said NO! That's racist! LOL

Not to mention how "safe" are they compared to other vehicle manufacturers. Chinese LOVE to produce a lot at a CHEAP price.

Or, Motorola can just provide a different launcher that does the age verification. Which would be absolutely trivial for them to do.

Talk about a manufactured clickbait article.

He had WiFi or 4G on the aircraft carrier? I don't think so.

And if the Strava app uploaded the logged run later when it got connectivity at port or something, by then the ship was long gone.

Try to make a call...you have to listen to/watch an ad. Try to text...you have to see an ad Try to watch/listen to music...you have to listen/watch an ad (well they already do that) Just another way for Amazon to push BS to you.

Good grief! Everything is about Trump? CBS radio has no business left. Heck, everyone has the news in the palm of their hands. They don't have to wait to the top/bottom of the hour, go find a radio to "hear" the news!

While that's true, a responsible generation aims to boost the next generation to a *higher* level than the education they received. The world has become more complex and faster-paced, and even if that weren't true, the consequenes of aiming high and falling short are better than the consequences of aiming for the status quo and falling short.

So while I'm 100% onboard with skepticism that technology will magically make education better, I think the argument that "the education I got worked for me should be good for them" isn't a strong argument. What we need is a better ecducation that would have been a better education fifty years ago: stronger math, science, and language skills, general knowledge, and, I think critical thinking and media literacy. Possibly emotional intelligence -- it's kind of pointless to teach people critcial thinking skills if they are carried away by emotions.

There are no economic or security reasons to blockade Cuba, so that leaves *political*.

It used to be believed that bullies were low status individuals who are lashing out out of frustration. But research has shown that bullying is an effective strategy for achieving and maintaining social status. In other words it's a political winner. So the focus of research has shifted from the bully to the people around him who enable the bullying. The inner circle are the henchmen -- people without the charisma and daring to initiate the bullying, but join in when the bully gets things started. Around them are the audience, the people who wouldn't risk participating but enjoy the bullying vicariously. And around them are the much larger group of bystanders, who don't approve but are waiting for someone else to stop the bullying. Then off to the side are the defenders, who stand up to the bully.

Perhaps the least appreciated supporting factor in the phenomenon of the high-status bully is the silence of the bystanders, which is dependent upon the perception of widespread approval. Since you can't visibly see the the line between the approving audience and the apalled bystanders, the silence of the bytstanders is absolutely essential in sustaining the bullying.

Lot's of Americans are apalled at the idea of using military force to inflict suffering on the Cuban people. But that's only politically advantageous *because* of *them*. Tney are indistinguishable from the relatively small number of people who are thrilled when Trump announced he can do anything he wants wtih Cuba. The gap between actual approval and *perceived* approval is absolutely critical in establishign and maintaining any kind of authoritarianism. This is why would be authoritarian leaders are so focused on punishing and marginalizing any kind of expression of disapproval.

Nah. Nobody is dumb enough to run a cloud service on Windows.

Keep your energy to provide it to Canadians for cheaper. The US has plenty of oil and coal I've been told.

The food industry will jump on this in a heartbeat! Paying anyone 30 bucks an hour for a no skill job is nuts! These minimum wage jobs were meant for high school kids to learn how to work etc. If you are college age or older and the only job you are qualified for is a minimum wage job, you need to look in the mirror!

Look at the size of Europe, which has around two dozen or so countries, which fit WITHIN the continental USA. You can pretty much drive across all of Europe in a day (barring traffic). Heck, it takes a couple days to drive across just Texas! Plus, a lot of Europe, people just stay in their country, which most countries are the size of one or two of the larger states, and, the population is contained within cities. In the USA, we are "spread out". In the upper plains, you can sometimes drive for miles and miles between towns not to mention homes in the more rural areas. In cities, EV's are an "ok" thing, but in rural areas not so much. It should be a choice, not forced upon people. If the EV's want to compete on a level playing field, so be it.
