<p>You let the people run their own servers and kick cheaters.  That's one solution which has actively been taken away over the years.</p>

<p>They are saying that it could invalidate attorney client privilege because the transcription could technically be available to an outside party.<p>I suspect what isn't being said by the lawyers is they want to keep attorney client privilege so they can outright lie.</p>

<p>That's my point. The major US and European sports don't really test, but the weight of PED blame falls on things like cycling and track.</p>

<p>It pains me that running, track, and cycling are "notorious" for doping, but the major sports don't test at any practical level compared to the "dirty" sports.</p>

<p>The politicians could all divest from these companies for a start.<p>Anyone they are responsible for could be forced off social media, etc...<p>This is just another case of some people deciding other people are too dumb to handle themselves or their kids.  Further, I believe formally blaming the media companies lets everyone off the hook for their own actions.<p>In the general sense, Congress shouldn't be exempting itself from federal smoking bans, providing healthcare coverage, insider trading, lying before Congress, etc...</p>

<p>As with any ban on anything, I would prefer that it start with the people who want it banned.  So any advocates against social media and get off social media.  Every politician and government employee in Norway should be off it.<p>In general, if someone comes along and says that someone else's rights should be shrunk, I think they should give up those same rights first.<p>You can just look at the US congress for how this isn't done as they frequently carve out exceptions for themselves and staffers.</p>

<p>It was weighted and solid, like from an old stereo. You let it spin and stop it to move a longer distance quickly instead of doing multiple turns.<p>My family had multiple (various) machines in an arcade and we kept this at home for some time.

<p>This has to be the most poorly documented event of this scale.<p>This link, for example, "first glimpse of far side...[video]", is a video of the crew inside the craft. <i>yawn</i>  It seems like every article I've read is like this.  Like they're trying to encourage conspiracy theories.<p>We're talking about the unseen, far side of the moon, and they can't scrape together at least a still image of it?<p>The launch was in lower resolution than many shuttle launches I've watched.<p>Looking at the NASA.gov site, it is pale comparison of what it used to be.  They seem to have opted for a few well polished articles and images, and they've jettisoned any semblance of passing along the data itself.</p>

<p>It certainly wouldn't be equivalence, but it would be another 4 years of expanding presidential powers only for a republican to come to power after that, or after 8 years.  It really doesn't matter.  The system keeps changing to put us more a risk of a bad president being <i>effectively</i> bad.<p>Two of the most authoritarian decisions by the supreme court have been progressive in nature: Kelo v. City of New London - where the government can redistribute wealth if it benefits the government, and the whole fiasco around the ACA, which defaults every American to being a criminal until they bought health insurance, using the commerce act as justification for the power grab.<p>About the ACA, whether I agree with national healthcare is irrelevant, this was not the way to do it -- by expanding the government's reach.  There has to be consideration for what the administration does.</p>
