Which is strange considering this article was in the comments: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-bc-us-sci--30-years-of-war... According to the data it's reporting from NOAA, scenario B has occurred (one degree of warm

I'm wondering where you are getting your information from. Particularly, when I search my own zip on ISP search sites, I get anywhere from 4-6 providers even though I only have 2 options. There's possibly a discrepancy between wha

"better" doesn't seem a good description for the gaming community's connection to studios. In many cases, gamers themselves might even strong-arm media outlets for studios with or without permission, hence the inflated s

I've speculated that it might be related to ransomware picking up in recent years. In particular, wannacry and notpetya coincided with some of bitcoin's surges in price. Before this, purchases with Bitcoin not for investment purpo

Apparently this was an argument brought up back in 2014 as well[1]. While it focuses more on TV and porn instead of phones and 4chan, in the end the FCC only managed to actually use this power via the nature of the medium (since TV uses spe

Seems that they attempted to, but they can't definitively disprove it. Basically, they couldn't find evidence, but they can't disprove the hypothesis and they can only tell from the year 2012. Thus, they can't see if sto

He predicted an earthquake in the Philippines and other areas that didn't happen 2 months ago and one in New Zealand 1 month ago. He also made a prediction for a 9.0 earthquake in Nepal after the eclipse and slowly dropped the number o

Well yeh, that's what I was getting at hence the "don't take it literally" part. I've seen people still don't like what he said even after knowing it was not literal. Some people just don't want to see the

Interestingly, the 1 star reviewers are claiming the book was leaked and that they did in fact read it. It does seem like they still didn't read it though despite having access to it. They're universally a sentence long and are ei

He still gets a lot of flak from that "invented the internet" comment. Probably one of the few comments in politics that makes critics of it even more angry if they don't take it literally.

You know, I've not paid attention too much when this argument is made since I usually keep my pony on snopes, not politifact, but I'm glad curiousity got me this time. This is a bit misleading in itself. Bernie's saying its 5

The honest answer is it's not. There was an uptick from the North Korea situation, but the comments here just remind me of that New Yorker article. As in, it is Valley-streamed right now.

I hinted it earlier, but if you insist: The books except the one about presidents (which seems to be just history) and the Iraq war piece (which was in the tail end of being career-ending if you criticized), the organization he co-founded,

I think you completely misunderstand me. A bit my fault cause I usually plan out how I argue and I honestly did not expect this type of questioning. I'll reiterate my first comment in that I know the guy's libertarian (I think, de

Welp, I made a mistake. He's had multiple opinions on Israel, and he's currently pro-Israel at the moment, this was the offending quote: "A decade later, however, Shapiro reversed his position. In an article published on Marc

You can complain about Wikipedia, but you missed the point of me mentioning it. Here's a question I want answered because otherwise he might as well present as such: Do you think the Wikipedia page is missing anything important he&#x27

Sorry 'bout the delay. I didn't expect someone to even still be able to find the article after 5 hours much less reply to this. Either way, the justifications are the point of my comment. He starts off with luxury homes being hard

I feel like this happened because it seems he accidentally presented himself to the outside world as alt-right. You'd only know he was a right libertarian (my impression at least) if you regularly listened to him. For example, Look at

I'd like to note that in that article he wrote, he was careful to point out that he did not think government intervention was the primary factor. Specifically, he pointed out to veterinary care as an industry that has very little inter

An article that starts off the disadvantages of living back in 1916 with how hard it would be to travel across the nation and the world seems a bit suspect. In general I find these "you're better off poor now than rich in the past

I'd like to throw in that I wonder if this article is a bit late, and in a way Americans are already coming out of exceptionalism. I was noticing I cared more about international politics than I previously did, and I saw a lot of other

Regardless of what you think about the meme, it is an accurate description of the situation. If you feel uneducated workers are taking jobs Americans DO want, then by definition its not a job Americans don't want. Its why I specificall

I'm pretty sure it's very easy to be against this. An immigration policy should ideally be either uneducated immigrants that take jobs Americans don't want and entrepreneurs to support more jobs. Preferring highly skilled imm

I think it could be argued, though this article didn't seem to bother arguing it as much as it does for the other "pharaohs". Wasn't there an article here a few weeks ago about the green text bubbles?

I always wonder why the whole "facebook internet" isn't brought up more by pro net-neutrality folks. I think there's only one article that's been written about a particularly worrisome consequence it has as well [1]

Interestingly enough, this isn't possible at the moment, but probably possible in the future. I own a (edit: 980) and they do actually detect when they're on a carpet/rug (they turn on a carpet mode that is basically just suc

From what I can tell, this is more like 100 to 120 vs 200 to 215. The article starts off saying lyft increased bookings by 200 million while Uber is claiming a "mid-teens" number.

Is no one going to challenge your first part? You mention family, neighbors, and company and completely ignored one of these is not like the others. Someone that has loyalty to family and friends is socially competent, but someone loyal to

That's not true at all, the thread title very much says Arab not muslim. That is specifically a term for the middle-east. Also, that article seems to pull the numbers out of its ass without any proof. I'll stick with the actual nu

I'd assume it'd be unethical to move trained scientists to accountant jobs at tax-payer expense, no?
