Just to spell it out for people: myriad means 10,000 but has been used as a stand in for "huge variety" for so long that people don't know that anymore.

The violence is shocking and unacceptable. It's totally possible islamophobia caused the situation to escalate to violence so dramatically. I hope it gets considered at trial.

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

I think the establishment is actually quite sensitive to unemployment figures because people that are unemployed have time to demonstrate.

Ithink you could be more charitable in your reply. Transistors were developed to replace tubes in telephone systems... Okay but the tubes had been developed to where they were because of their usefulness in radio.

And while computers don't inherently rely on radio, it's radio communication that's taken computers from one in every office to one in everyone's pocket. Right? The main thrust of the previous commenter is true.
