I can't imagine the drone wars coming in the next few decades. I wonder if there are any specific Russian counter-drone fighter drones yet.

This... might be a good thing. We need less kids on the internet.

I'm sorry, but as a teenager who grew up on the internet into the adult he is today, I wouldn't have survived if I didn't have the internet
hazard a guess that applies to you too

this is the most basic type of censorship, in my opinion, and it's completely abhorrent

teenagers need to be given the freedom to explore their own minds, and these days. the internet is fucking crucial in doing that

if you don't give them that freedom, you condemn them

A Wikileaks post published on The Nation shows that the Obama Administration fought to keep Haitian wages at 31 cents an hour.

(This article was taken down by The Nation due to an embargo, but it was excerpted at Columbia Journalism Review.)

It started when Haiti passed a law two years ago raising its minimum wage to 61 cents an hour. According to an embassy cable:

This infuriated American corporations like Hanes and Levi Strauss that pay Haitians slave wages to sew their clothes. They said they would only fork over a seven-cent-an-hour increase, and they got the State Department involved. The U.S. ambassador put pressure on Haiti’s president, who duly carved out a $3 a day minimum wage for textile companies (the U.S. minimum wage, which itself is very low, works out to $58 a day).

Haiti has about 25,000 garment workers. If you paid each of them $2 a day more, it would cost their employers $50,000 per working day, or about $12.5 million a year ... As of last year Hanes had 3,200 Haitians making t-shirts for it. Paying each of them two bucks a day more would cost it about $1.6 million a year. Hanesbrands Incorporated made $211 million on $4.3 billion in sales last year.

Thanks to U.S. intervention, the minimum was raised only to 31 cents.

I feel like saying it was the Obama administration is kind of disingenuous though, isn't it? If what the report says is true then it was the State Department, and then only a few well connected individuals out of that.

Just trying to moderate the vitriol :P

Eh, they still got an increase. Sure it's shit, but I'm not too inclined to shed any tears for people taking jobs that should be going to US workers.

And the shit officially begins.

Yes! It's hosted by Wolf Blitzer...

I don't think a Mars colony could be self-sustaining in the near future.
If we set it up and then WW3 turns us anti-technology, then the Martians would be fucked.

>>8806
How about Venus? We get a couple of big space shields in the right spot then hydrate Venus atmosphere then we'll have Earth 2 way faster than trying for Mars...

>>8808
Self-sustaining includes food, air conditioning and lots of other complicated stuff that on Earth requires many specialized factories that are spread out over a large area plus huge fields to grow the resources.
Now you're going to tell me you're going to have them built on hovering platforms on Venus within the next 100 or so years?

Worked for a net neutrality activist group for a while, there are people assigned in different activist groups to sift through these bills and see if they tried to put another rider in there since it's become such a common thing. Of course there always is one, and of course it's one in a fuckton of other riders. It's just the net neutrality camp that makes the most noise about it.

That does fortunately call to attention the existence of riders, which are bullshit because these legislators don't know how to pass laws like proper lawmakers -- but hey, that's Congress for you.

It makes me sad that it's up to clickbait merchants like Huffpo to report on this story.
