I live in the 4th largest city in the country. I currently have 2 isp choices for high speed internet. AT&T and Comcast.  There is undoubtedly price collusion going on between them as their plans are nearly identical for about the same prices, but good luck filing a grievance against 2 of the biggest companies in the…

“he needed her to believe she was going to die so that he could be sexually fulfilled”

I don’t believe in monopolies. And since most communities only have a single ISP provider, I believe net neutrality is a requirement. Otherwise we need to make internet access a basic human right and let ISPs be run like any other utility company.

Make good content first, then slap a rating on it. If you’re making content for a specific rating, you’re necessarily limiting the creators. It can only make content worse.

Moderating harmful speech is not only legal, it’s an obligation. If they don’t do anything about child porn, or rape videos, or Alex Jones calling Sandy Hook a lie, that’s when they’re subject to lawsuits or criminal action.

What makes you think they’re public platforms? I mean, they’re available to the public, but they’re still private entities running private servers. If Google wanted every search for ‘good things Trump has done’ to return ‘1001 ways Trump supporters are idiots,’ they’re well within their legal rights to do so under the…

Exactly. Just like all the women complaining about harassment in the workplace always had a choice. Don’t want to perform sexual favors for the boss? Just quit. See? Simple.

I think those were some kind of artificial bugs. What you’re looking for is more like Snowpiercer

And yet American companies clearly think it’s worth the risk.

American companies want Chinese money and the U.S. government wants American companies to have Chinese money.

Please...whenever this happens, I have to restrain myself from incinerating any food item stored within 5 ft of the offending loaf of bread...never mind the bread itself.

He indicated that he already knew the race of the admissions officers he sent the letters to (all white). So all he would have to do would be use the same process to identify non-white counselors. Pick 1 white and 1 minority counselor from each school and randomize which one a letter gets sent to. The other…

Under the policy, the NSF will consider transferring their funding to other scientists within the same lab, or outright suspending it altogether.

The idea of ‘god given’ or ‘natural’ rights has always bothered me. None of them are handed out at birth. If they were, then people everywhere would have the same rights. All rights are earned by previous generations and must be upheld/protected by future generations.  

Yeah, but if you quit drinking you can feel like you lived to 100 much sooner. 

That would work too. Anything that did a cross-racial comparison would be more helpful.

What is hot sauce made from?  You got it...peppers
