Varchton The Buzzfeed Lesson

AP has had a lot of "opinion..." in it's feeds over the last couple years. I used to be a big fan of their uncurated "Raw Feed" but they decided that was not something they wanted to expose any longer.

The others are ok sources but still too much opinion mixed in for my money. Can't somebody just give us the facts?

Varchton The Buzzfeed Lesson

Do you have any suggestions? Are there any reputable sources remaining? Not sure I could trust any single source ever again. Not enough to pay for it anyways.

Varchton Backcountry Drug War

Counter Counter Point: The supply chain has been a place for a long time and is pretty convenient, I'd say even more so.

Varchton Backcountry Drug War

Anecdotally... Many of my neighbors started smoking when it was legalized here. Neighbors on both sides toke pretty much every day in their backyards. Well actually at first they vaped mostly, that wasn't so noxious, just occasionally caught a whiff of it. Now it seems they have figured out they can buy weed from the resident dealer for a lot less without all those pesky taxes, at least I see them talking to him a lot more often these days.

Without making a judgement on the seriousness of the charges, remember, the "rape" in this case is allegedly not stopping upon the tearing of his condom, not forced rape at knifepoint...

Varchton Things You Can’t Say About Assange or WikiLeaks

"It is false and defamatory to suggest that Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have not published critical information on Russia, Syria or Donald Trump [in fact, WikiLeaks has published hundreds of thousands of documents on Russia, millions on Syria, and thousands on Donald Trump, see https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles/russia/, https://search.wikileaks.org/?query=russia%7Cputin%7Cmoscow#..., https://wikileaks.org/syria-files/ & https://search.wikileaks.org/?query=trump#results]."

Varchton Things You Can’t Say About Assange or WikiLeaks

"It is false and defamatory to suggest that Ecuador isolated and gagged Mr. Assange due to his comments on Sergei Skripal [in fact, he was isolated over his refusal to delete a factually accurate tweet about the arrest of the president of Catalonia by Spain in Germany, along with U.S. debt pressure on Ecuador. The president of Ecuador Lenin Moreno admitted that these two countries were the issue, see https://defend.wikileaks.org/about-julian/]."

Sure, they would of course need coordination just would not need to be told about every movement and addition. Think agile vs. waterfall.

Varchton Jack Ma: US wasted trillions on warfare instead of investing in infrastructure

Helps to have millions of workers willing to work for pennies a day as well.

Varchton Enabling Faster, More Capable Robots with Real-Time Motion Planning

I can imagine a bunch of robots building a building and not colliding with each others work. You could do it without rt sensing but that's a lot of messages you could avoid.
