Right. It all depends on who believes the fake news.


TIL; 30 Afghans killed today were not pine nut farmers, but its somehow insulting to the survivors.


Are these comments for real? How can anyone be against the truth? The whole point to PV was taping facts. None of the content has ever been debunked.


can anyone tell me why we aren't using the mega-millions lottery to encode our vote with our private hash? We already have a completely reliable voting mechanism. If anyone thought that was insecure imagine the uproar.


They had to find something to do with all the old batteries.


Apple is officially a law office. RIP.


The only determination I can make is that there is no proof that the same neutrino was observed. All that was observed is neutrinos in two places. Probably are neutrinos everywhere you look.


If I am a Colombian Citizen with a multivisit visa, and I don't have the actual visa because it is attached to an expired visa which is forgotten in the U.S. - What are the chances of re-entering USA? Is the visa information in the computer or is it useless without the physical stamp?


Is this a B2? And how does one forget an expired visa? Unless it was not attached to your passport or you actually left the US without your passport.

Of course, I am not a lawyer.


The Expired Passport contained the valid visa, forgotten in a desk in USA and the Current Passport is in my possession in Bogota.

It Is a B2. I'm hoping the valid visa is in my "electronic footprint" with TSA/immigration?

or am I stuck / delayed with getting a temporary visa to re-enter ?


Did you get your new Colombian passport while in the US? Otherwise it suggests you left without your passport? How is that legal?

In any case if you had a B2 in an expired passport, it is still valid (I came to the US with two passports, one expired but has my US visa). I was just lazy and did not transfer it, but there is no problem doing so. You just might have to explain your passport-in-the-US situation.


How did you manage to get back to Colombia without the passport with the visa? (I also have an expired one but TSA checked my Visa).


They don't live as far south as they would like, either.


y'all are just using big words to express income redistribution. which. doesn't. work.

simply take the extreme case where everyone gets free resources. it is unsustainable.

natural selection is sustainable. that's how we got here.

anything else is just a deferment of the inevitable.


I think this is an oversimplifying view of reality.

Taking the most extreme case (free everything) and pointing out it's impossible (without referencing a single data point of evidence no less) is pointless.

Basic income is not about people not having to work for a living, it's a proposed restructuring of the social security that many nation states already have in place. That is, a simple basic income formula replacing complex and hard/expensive to police support formulas for the sick, elderly and/or unemployed. One of the leading arguments for these experiments is how they allow governments to downsize their workforce, thus lowering the cost for the taxpaying segment society.

As far as I know, early real world experiments are just now being spun up (in the Netherlands and Finland, for example), and so far all we have is simulation and theories from economists. That's not enough data to rule out the entire model.

You are of course welcome to have your own opinion and gut feeling about the matter, but until someone proves your point, I remain unconvinced.
