This new tax would be a 30 percent increase on costs for solar panels coming into the United States. This move was extremely selective and damaging to the renewable energy sector.

Facebook News Ranking Makes A Mockery of Journalism
Algorithms and Ranking News Based On Popularity Is Not Healthy for Consumers Facebook announced today their plans to change the ranking of news stories to prioritize them based on trustworthy value of the publisher. As a journalist that works hard on providing accurate news on the Web, I can see from a distance the problems and issues that will take place with this new concept.

In reality, journalism is not a popularity contest with the outlet that has the most
