That is a blatant misrepresentation of what Clinton said.
It would not surprise me if one of the "conservative" news outlets framed it as "Clinton calls 50% of the US population 'deplorable'", knowing their audience wouldn't fact-check what she said.
Considering the bills presented, any search engine based in the EU would die a swift death if it was a small organization, or a slow agonizing death for something bigger.
I think this will also cause other eSports-potential games, like StarCraft II, to be looked at with caution and mistrust (When will Activision/Blizzard to kill this game I put time and effort into?).
Part of the problem, I've heard, is that Activision is putting pressure on Blizzard to be more investor-friendly. This includes putting less effort to get more profit.
Diablo Immortal was the first public signs that things were going downhill for Blizzard, which has been largely a separate entity from Activision's ploys. YongYea on YouTube has more info.
Fair enough. But I somehow doubt that the person who uploaded this video is especially interested in the ad revenue. It would be annoying to see ads on a family video, but it's not the end of the word. Worst case: just download it.
Because Qualcomm can block (and actually tried to do this on Apple's iPhones) the sale of those that don't use Qualcomm's modems due to using components that are infringing on their patents.
At least in the USA. China cares not about patents or other intellectual property.
Depending on how well it's implemented, I can see some of them being caught by an algorithm that catches common replacement letters.
If, however, they decided to do t*o*r*r*e*n*t without checking on how their regex parser works, expect whole phrases or even sentences being censored. Based on their apathy, I wouldn't put it past them
Porn site's operators can't be very picky with ads because so few companies want to be associated with porn. Other sites can be more discerning of the ads they put up.
Re: So actually you're for excluding police officers.
Mobs have recently chased Republicans out of restaurants.
With who is the president, I don't blame them. It'd probably help if they stated what their positions are in regards to some things instead of just "I'm Republican. Anything my party does is right."
I think the increasing insanity and incivility of leftists is good cause for this application.
Of a police state? Sorry, but I don't want to be dragged kicking and screaming into the night, only to be never heard of again.
[…]you blithely relate that a person assaulted the police officer.
On the officer's word. "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." Sadly, we can't get the word of Kuong Gatlauk because he's dead.
Revile that person.
Can't: We don't know who he is. The law makes it so.
[…]in civil society one MUST sort of obey police.
What happens when police officers start making illegal demands, such as downloading the "Dallas Buyers Club" for them? If the police ask you to do that, it must be fine, right?
The key problem of policing is that if a person doesn't obey the mild orders, then what's to stop them from going further?
So it's okay for a police officer to say "Get on your knees, undo my zipper, and open wide!"? And if you refuse, he can sue you for sexual assault? It's the officer's word against yours, and when shielded by these "Marsy's Laws," you can't string the complaints without violating the law.
Until the police person is in actual jeopardy?
Sorry, but they're not even in the top 10 for most dangerous job.
[…]only way to stop the escalation before having to shoot someone is with what you […] shriek is undue violence.
Lethal force should be the last resort, not the standard. Death is pretty final.
And police seem to like to escalate things here in the USA, not deescalate.
[…]only want to be doped out of your mind […]civilization just doesn't work if that becomes common.
I don't know, intoxication due to alcohol is fairly common, and legal, and society hasn't come crashing down.
Am I in favor of recreational drugs? No, but I think this shows that that point is very weak.
I find it a great trade-off: a little annoyed at police versus starving in the wilderness.
Problem is, many people are not just "a little annoyed" at police: they're furious. Usually because an officer killed a family member in cold-blood and all the punishment they got out of it was a couple days of paid vacation.
The problem isn't the Constitution's implementation of copyright (it doesn't have one), only that congress may create laws about copyright and patents "To promote the progress of science and useful arts[...]".
How messed up copyright and patent laws are due to the House and Senate making bad laws, not the Constitution itself mandating them.
What about those of us who can't get cable? I live in the boonies, far enough from the city so I can't get their internet, and definitely far enough away from a population center to be of no interest to the big DSL/cable companies.
And at least one person I know that streams uses DSL because her cable provider was Brighthouse, and their service was horrible! Even with her business-class DSL, she still encounters the occasional hiccup when someone else uses the net. But at least it's not a full day or more without internet.
