there certainly is no need for proactive server-side scanning

As I read 17 USC 512(i)(1)(B), it requires providers taking advantage of the DMCA's safe harbor to "accommodate[...] standard technical measures", such as automatic identification of works whose copyright is often infringed, so long as said measures do "not impose substantial costs". What did I miss?

and automated take-downs.

Automated notices of claimed infringement wouldn't be quite as necessary if service providers blocked reuploads of the same work after having received "actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing" per 17 USC 512(c)(1)(A). When a service provider takes a work down upon notice of claimed infringement, the same work often remains available on the same provider at other URLs, even if the notice specifies that no accounts on that provider have been licensed to use a particular work. In addition, the work often doesn't stay down when either A. another user reuploads the work, or B. a user whose account had been terminated for repeat infringement creates a new account and reuploads the work. Only proactive or automated systems can make a dent in that sort of infringement.

Here's what Adblock shows me for this page. Yeah, some of it is totally innocent, but the rest of it? Why do all of these things need to be loading? (I removed a lot of extra crap that seemed benign to get by the "you need more characters in your message" filter.)

Nope

Nope what? As far as I can tell you've just restated my words and agreed with me. Nope what?

Transsexuals and transvestites do not "experience a common oppression." A transvestite can always revert to his male role once he's satisfied his erotic needs.

So then the transvestite is happy to divulge this information? Or feels the need to keep it hidden? Are you claiming that they would suffer no repercussions from disclosure? No? Then they are oppressed. Just because YOU don't feel sorry for them doesn't mean they aren't oppressed.

As far as I can tell, we don't know who killed either of them, so it appears your statement is more of an assumption,

Oh, so as far as YOU can tell? Those were just two examples. There are PLENTY of examples.

BTW, the worldwide murder rate for transsexuals is far below the average, a fact that nobody wants to point out because it doesn't fit the victim story arc.

Are you fucking KIDDING ME? Jebus Wept that's gotta be the most tone deaf thing I've ever heard. And you have the chutzpah to tell ME to "do the math"? I read their names every November. I know two that have been murdered. I know four that have been beaten. Of all of the hundreds of trans people I have interacted with, I know of ONE who has NOT been discriminated against in some way. I work with victims almost every goddamned day. I don't know what rock you live under, but I wish you'd come the fuck out and open your eyes. You're proving Hawking's dictum about ignorance.

We were socially acceptable back in the time of Christine Jorgensen, who appeared on magazine covers, gave talks, etc.

You think that because she gave talks she was accepted! How adorable! I'm sure the audience is only feeding the poor, hungry actors when they throw vegetables at them...

As far as wanting a divorce from the LGBT, who appointed you arbiter as to what we want.

Don't pull your projection bullshit on me again. You're the one who is attempting to speak for trans people, not me.

Also, damages to a car from an accident are a civil matter (an accident is not a criminal event) - the police don't have jurisdiction,

Who is this "Jacqui" person you speak of?

When you know your co-workers and bosses actively hate people like you, you LEAVE.

Why wouldn't I start with "blaming the victim"? That's exactly what you're doing. You're stating that it's on the VICTIM to somehow say "please sir, don't kill me while I leave a place I have every right to be because YOU are violating MY civil rights". That's EXACTLY victim blaming.

1. The "new math" method is designed to teach more than just how to get the answer. It teaches estimation skills and done right can teach how the numbers interact rather than just having your kid memorize an algorithm, both of which will make learning more advanced math easier (a number of "math is easy" people have remarked that the way "new math" teaches arithmetic is how they've always broken down numbers).

2. Learning the method that will be used as the base of further learning is important. If his teachers are using "new math", not learning how to use it will put him further behind with each new concept he's learning. Part of the assignment was learning how to use this method for division, which he did not complete. This is not substantially different from when I was a kid and being given a 0 for not showing my work (i.e. demonstrating that I understood more than just what the result was).

3. "Long Division" is not the "one true math standard". Various forms of it came into practice sometime between the middle ages and the renaissance, and the form which we were taught during the 20th century didn't even come into existence until the 19th century. "New math" is no weirder than when researchers figured out that teaching kids music also improves math skills.

I guess the math that we all learned was shit then and isn't relevant anymore?

Here is some data that many people don't know about. We *expect* to see natural warming as the planet climbs out of the Little Ice Age. This is corroborated by the fact that surface is warming faster than the lower tropical troposphere - which is *opposite* to the specific hypothesis of AGW.
http://jonova.s3.amazonaws.com... [amazonaws.com]

You present a graph for one spot, the GISP2 ice core at the summit of Greenland, that ends over 160 years ago in 1855 and think that means something globally today. I wonder how it would look if you added in the temperatures since 1855? Also the time scale is not even. The further back you get the more is compresses the graph horizontally which could be a bit misleading.

Is the Arctic summer ice cap disappearing? no, after a low in 2012 it is recovering

I looks like 2016 will set a new record for the lowest maximum ice extent unless there is a big freeze up in the next few weeks.

Here is some data that many people don't know about. We *expect* to see natural warming as the planet climbs out of the Little Ice Age. This is corroborated by the fact that surface is warming faster than the lower tropical troposphere - which is *opposite* to the specific hypothesis of AGW.
http://jonova.s3.amazonaws.com...

When the observations contradict the hypothesis the Scientific Method is extremely clear we must accept the Null Hypothesis for now, and discard or amend the AGW hypothesis until it matches observations.

It turns out that the Transient and Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity values were computed too high by a factor of 4 to 7 because modelling of water vapor (the dominant 'Greenhouse gas') along with convection and other transport mechanisms is simply too complex for our computing power. So we guessed. Turns out the guess was not only wrong, it was very wrong.

Do we see warming? yes.
Is some of the warming due to humans? quite possibly.
Is there a natural component to the warming? yes.
Is the warming at a disastrous rate compared to warming in the last hundred centuries? no.
Is the current mean global temperature greater than recorded than 1855? yes
Is the current mean global temperature greater than determined by proxies in the last hundred centuries? no
Are polar bears going extinct? no, their population is increasing (yay!)
Is the Arctic summer ice cap disappearing? no, after a low in 2012 it is recovering
Is the Antarctic ice cap disappearing? no, some parts are melting but the overall ice volume is increasing
Can politicians affect the climate? no, thank goodness
Is the sea level rising? yes, but at the same rate for centuries

if you look at the actual data, not the sensationalist journalist reports, but the actual data, you will find that while we need to treat our planet better - there is no cause for panic, no cause to give the *unelected* United Nations more power to regulate every aspect of your life, and no reason for the UN to take money from you in the name of 'carbon pollution'.

-the effect of el nino on the GLOBAL AVERAGE is tiny. even with el nino it still would have been the hottest year. http://www.slate.com/content/d... [slate.com]

Why don't you add the missing bit? "Hottest year since modern surface records began in the 19th Century". Which is completely expected given the recovery since the Little Ice Age. Not the hottest year within the last 500 years, nor 1000, nor 2000. Look again at the REALITY that warmunists must deny:

Please tell us wall why the Vikings used to farm in Greenland, but are now buried under permafrost? could it be that today is COLDER than it used to be, and we are only getting back to relatively normal temperatures - and all of this is ****NATURAL****.

ROFL you think "SkepticalScience" is anything except blinkered rants from eco-loons who deliberately ignore data (that is, REALITY) they don't like. They don't have neutral peer-review of their drivel.

-your continual pointing to the RSS satellites show only that you are ignorant of what that data is and what it is capable of showing, let alone its relation to the overall picture from all the data. https://www.skepticalscience.c... [skepticalscience.com]

BOOM! here you show you know NOTHING about the CAGW/AGW Hypothesis that predicts that the lower tropic troposphere will show warming before anything else, including the sea and surface. The predictions of this hypothesis are NOT observed (and the UAH and RSS satellites agree with each other, and the tens of thousands of weather balloons, and the well-sited surface stations, etc). The Scientific Method REQUIRES you to accept the Null Hypothesis instead of AGW based on the OBSERVATIONS (that is, reality) because the specific prediction of AGW is not observed (in fact, the counter is observed). Did you not know this?

-the urban heat island effect isn't a factor. IE, remove all urban stations from the data and the trend still remains the same. https://www.skepticalscience.c... [skepticalscience.com]

COMPLETELY FALSE. The apparent surface warming decreases significantly when UHI affected stations and the increasing proportion of ESTIMATED data is taken away. Here's a discussion of the developing story, that has been improved by wamists critiquing it:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/201...

-the corrections actually reduce the amount of warming shown in the data, by ~20%.

Here you show a complete inability to reason statistically. Who cares if the absolute level is reduced? the 'corrections' introduce a systematic effect that cools the past and warms the present - artificially introducing a trend in the first time derivative. But you are not smart enough to see this and instead trot out a deception you were unable to see through.

-there are no observations which "falsify AGW all the time". there are only cranks like yourself who misinterpret the data (deliberately) in order to spread misinformation.

It is you spreading disinformation. It is you who merely parrots talking points because you don't understand the specific predictions of AGW and how the observational data have falsified this hypothesis. You refuse to follow the Scientific Method when it conflicts with your cultural Marxist "Progressive" Narrative. Even your byline "America, shining city on a hill, was built upon progressive ideals. Conservatism has only ever diminished its luster." shows how colossally ignorant you are of economics and American history. But hey, you are prepared to deny th

So, that's the (adjusted, and increasingly, ***estimated***) surface data subject to the Urban Heat Island effect and a bunch of other things.

Now, AGW theory states that the lower tropical troposphere will have a temperature rise before the surface does. Could you please tell us all what the UAH and RSS satellites are showing?

Furthermore, this year is an El Nino year. It is fully expected that the global temperature will increase a a result of NATURAL effects. And the last century and a half has been a temperature rise after the end of the Little Ice Age, but we're still colder today than the Minoan, Roman and Medieval Warm Periods.

Here is some data that might help you put the NATURAL temperature variability into perspective
http://jonova.s3.amazonaws.com...

Given that the IPCC's computed (as in guessed) ECS and TCS and too high by a factor of 4 compared to the observed value (because they guessed at the effect of water vapor and got the sign and magnitude wrong) then anyone who believes human-emitted CO2 is the dominant driver of Climate Change should be given a 'Flat Earth' award for their refusal to follow the Scientific Method and look at the observations which falsify the AGW hypothesis at this time.

Why would anybody believe that the ATF is even investigating illegal grease dumping into municipal sewers?

I and received e-mails that show Seattle City Light staff requesting that ATF install a camera on an SCL pole. Why would they go to ATF? Because ATF owe them a favor or two for all the times SCL let ATF secretly install cameras on SCL poles for ATF's purposes. SCL security manager Doug Williams keeps a list of those. I've received an improperly-redacted installment of my request for present and past versions of that list.

Maybe you can say there's a correlation between solar magnetic variability and climate (I have my doubts) but now you need to come up with the method of causation before you can really call it a theory.

But hey, anyone who believes in anything other than CO2 as climate driver is called a "denier" by the warmistas. That makes you a denier.

That makes all the scientists who worked on the IPCC WG1 report deniers too. I'm in good company :)

My confusion about your mention of the RWP was that you mentioned it in the context of the hockey stick graph when the start of the HSG is 1000 years after the RMP.

BOOM ! A second time you demonstrate a complete ignorance of the argument that YOUR side makes. The Hockey Stick is *essentialy* to the argument that the cause of the warming after the LIA is principally due to humans. This is why the Hockey Stick *must* have a flat blade or AGW is falsified (which means warmunists MUST deny the LIA and WMP and RWM and even older warming in the Holocene), That is why I post this graph, because it shows that the hypothesis advanced by the warmistas CANNOT be true:
http://jonova.s3.amazonaws.com... [amazonaws.com]

So now you're claiming the record from one ice core in Greenland is a suitable analog for the whole planet? Cherry picking at its finest.

The question is can you find a current natural process other than CO2 to account for the bulk of the current warming.

Yes. Solar magnetic variability which is correlated with temperature changes, with the correlation affected by a lag explained by oceanic effects. Furthermore, the CO2 concentration itself follows temperature (specifically, Earth's surface properties which are strongly temperature dependent, eg. the biospheric respiration of microbial life is HUGE and very temperature dependent).

But hey, anyone who believes in anything other than CO2 as climate driver is called a "denier" by the warmistas. That makes you a denier.

In the original hockey stick graph the period from 1000 to 1200 was the warmest before the current warming. How is that denying the MWP? The period from about 1400 to 1900 is the coldest shown on the graph. How is that denying the LIA?

Nope. Michael Mann's Hockey Stick has a very flat handle. Very flat, The fact that the blade shoots up is the 'evidence' for CAGW. Without a 'flat handle' t it there is not proof of the 'A' in CAGW.

I'm confused by you mentioning RWP since it was 1000 years before the start of the graph. Which makes me wonder have you ever actually looked at that graph?

Yes, I understand you are very confused. Now you are making a legal argument and not a scientific one, "Your Honor, the RWP which disproves AGW happened before the time period of the Statute of Limitations !". You guys should really listen to yourselves sometime and just think through what you are saying from a 'common sense' point of view (which is apparently not very common amongst warmistas).

The hockey stick graph has absolutely nothing to do with as you put it "C"AGW theory. It is a reconstruction of past temperatures, not a theory of how climate changes. Therefore it has nothing to do with supporting or falsifying current climate theory.

http://jonova.s3.amazonaws.com...

That is why the warmistas always have to quantity the time period of their argument and prevent you from looking at ALL the data - because once you start collecting data they don't want you to see then you clearly see that not only is CAGW wrong, even AGW is wrong (meaning, humans are not the principal driver of climate change, but yes, we do put a small finger on the scales), and the only reason this zombie theory is still pushed is because the forces behind it are not scientific and using rationalism and the Scientific Method - but they are POLITICAL with a particular agenda that doesn't care about the science (except if it helped them, but observational reality has falsified their hypothesis and made things difficult for the international socialist agenda that is driving this).

You can read about the goals of the UN and IPCC from their own statements, here:
http://green-agenda.com/

I'm trying to help you use the Scientific Method and look at ALL the data - because the RSS and UAH satellites are the most important, but their data falsifies CAGW and AGW at this time. Same with the paleo record. But the warmistas are trying to play lawyer sophistry on you, and not do science. I want you to do the science using the Scientific Method.

No, the problem is loans. The top 1% aren't amassing wealth by stealing it from the other 99%. The 99% are willfully agreeing to hand it over to them in the form of interest on all sorts of loans.

Productivity gains haven't translated into increased real income for two main reasons: Increased cost of housing, and increased cost of education. The market price for homes is determined almost entirely by how much people are willing to pay, not by how much it costs to build. If cost were the predominant factor, homes would depreciate as they got older, like cars. Instead they appreciate because of widespread availability of credit (loans) and increased demand (population is increasing, land area is not).

Look at the long-term inflation-adjusted home prices. From the 1890s to 1930s the average real home price decreased as you'd expect from technological progress making them cheaper to construct. But in 1934 the National Housing Act was passed, then Fannie Mae was created in 1938, then the GI Bill after WWII. Real home prices began climbing until they stabilized at nearly double what they were pre-1930 (the graph is a log scale). All of these programs allowed people to cheaply borrow money. If you double the amount of money people are able to use to bid on a home, of course the price of a home is going to double. It happened again during the housing bubble of the 2000s. Extremely low interest rates and relaxed lending standards meant a lot of money was borrowed cheaply, and when lots of people can borrow lots of money, they bid up the price of large purchases like houses.

The same thing has been going on with college education. People wring their hands over the increasing cost of college tuitions which have been vastly outpacing the rate of inflation, asking why is this happening? It's damn obvious why it's happening - the widespread availability of college loans. We've got a perverse positive feedback loop where college gets expensive, people argue that students need assistance to pay for it so we make programs to provide them low-interest loans. That borrowed money allows students to bid up the price of tuition (the school raises the price beyond a point where the student would normally decline to attend because of the high tuition, but instead they get a student loan and pay the higher tuition). That allows tuition to increase even more, leading to people arguing for more student assistance.

So it's the loans which are causing the rise in price of these non-commodity big-ticket items, which are eating up a huge portion of our productivity gains since the early 1900s. The next question is, who is the beneficiary of all these loans? Well to loan someone money, you have to have money. In other words, the 1%. You get a 30-year mortgage whose amortization means half of your total payments will go to principal, half to interest. Basically you're buying a house, and agreeing to pay for an identical house for a 1%er. (Slightly less due to inflation, but we're in a low-interest rate period. At an 8% interest rate, it's 62% interest, 38% principal. At the 16% interest rate of the early 1980s, its 79% interest, 21% principal.)

You want to stop the transfer of wealth to the 1%? Get rid of the loans. Ratchet back the maximum duration of a loan to 15, then 7 years, and make it harder to roll over balances from end of one loan to the start of another. Cap the interest rate so the percentage that's paid to interest over the life of the loan can't exceed 25% or 33%. Yes this will make it harder to buy a house or get an education - that has to happen if you want the price of those things to drop. People will have to learn to save first, buy later; instead of buy now, pay for it later. If you want to assist low-income people trying to buy a home or go to college, do it with supply-side subsidies. Build more government-funded or government-sponsored housing to increase the supply of housing. Create more public universities with capped tuitions to increase the supply of education. Don't do it with things like loans which create more demand.

Isn't natural warming what we'd expect to see as solar magnetic activity picks up and we climb out of the Little Ice Age ? There is a link between the solar heliosphere (controlled by solar magnetic activity), mediated by cosmic rays, and terrestrial cloud formation - that is, terrestrial climate is correlated with solar magnetic activity and this is well established (although denied by Michael Mann's now debunked 'Hockey Stick').

There is Global Warming for sure. We would expect warming after the Sun increased magnetic activity after the end of the Little Ice Age. Some component of that warming is due to human-emitted CO2. Whether the dominant effect is natural or human is still being debated (particularly since CO2 effects are weak and the IPCC's models that the CO2-induced water vapor effects would increase the temperature further appear to be falsified by experiment). To de-industrialize and impose punitive 'carbon taxes' at this stage does not look like it can be supported by the data. The difference between surface and satellite observations has not yet been resolved satisfactorily (the 'science is not settled'). If you think the science is settled please refer to the data I have provided in your response (you need to explain it). Thanks.

You seem to be under some illusions about the working conditions of University professors. Most of your professors are adjuncts, working part time for less than minimum wage.

You're upset because your professor didn't contact you way before the first class to tell you what the expectations were? Guess what? The University probably hadn't even gotten around to hiring her yet. And even if they had, they reserved the right to say "just kidding" and cancel it at the last minute.

You want someone to blame for the poor quality of your education? It's not your professors. It's the "dooshbags" they are working for.

I am sorry to hear that you are out an extra $50 for the cost of a new textbook. Your professor, who makes about $20,000 a year by working at three different schools with no benefits, no job security and no support from their employer, knows what that feels like.

You seem to be clinging to the same trickle-down economic theories that have created this mess.

Just because your perception is broken doesn't mean that I'm clinging to "trickle-down".

If there are any differences between what you're advocating and the textbook definition of trickle-down economics, they're too minor for my liking.

The GP was recommending policies that seem to have worked in the New Deal era.

Such as create a bunch of non-competitive oligopolies and then watch the economy circle the drain?

That's an odd way to describe the post-WW2 boom, but that massive increase in real median income would be sweet no matter what you call it!

And what happens when their business isn't worth expanding?

That's the beauty of the thing, their only choices are spending it on their business, or pointless corporate cash-hoarding. They could try to find new tax loopholes again, and with no credible communist enemy to prove anything to they won't hold back, but we know how to design less-leaky tax policy these days, and if they decide they like their tax shelters more than their country, at least moving away will honestly show where their loyalties lie.

Until adulthood. Children can't be held to the same standards of behaviour that adults can be. Once they become adults, if they made women feel unwelcome then they will be expected to correct the behaviour. Of course it's not a binary thing that flips at age 18, it happens gradually over the teenage years, I'm just stating the principal.

If only there was a place to learn how to deal with these social interactions. With authority figures to guide and discipline bad behavior that is not conducive to learning/working... Like a school! If the boys made the girls feel uncomfortable, then discipline accordingly. Just like the real world. The difference you won't lose your job or face a law suit.

Wrong metric. What is important is the number of scholarships going to each gender, and the effect that has on the number of students of each gender. Until men are getting less than 50% of all available scholarships and are achieving less than 50% of the academic success (number of graduates, grade averages or whatever it is you use in the US) then women-only scholarships are just reducing men's privilege, not disadvantaging them compared to women.

Congrats, we have beyond FTM ratio in colleges. Those scholarships have done their job. Lets reverse it as you say. Males don't have the privileged in the university because they are no longer > 50%... They also make up more of the grads too!!! Academic success

See how you made that comment about girls

No, you made this about girls. when you said: "Segregation is the answer." and the segregation was for the sexes and how you feel girls need a safe space to learn CS from those icky boys because privilege... Context is king.

Unlike you, I research a topic before I comment on it. How is not seeing further or more clearly not improve situational awareness? How is having a secure datalink not improve situational awareness? The APG-81 is so good that the Dutch recently stated that a single F-35 improves the picture not only for itself, but for the flight of F-16s it was accompanying.

And then you go an talk about IESA, which leads me to believe you have no informed opinion. Hint, it's AESA. E-2s won't be going downtown with your strike package, F-35s will. The hi-lo-hi range of an F-16 with a typical combat load is 400nmi, that extends to almost 700nmi for the F-35. Which is why you never see an F-16 without a pair of 370gal EFTs. The F-35s best them with all internal stores. Another 'hour' of flight time gets you to places the 4th gen fighters can't. Pure and simple. Everyone is re-evaluating their CONOPS plans for when the F-35 arrives in numbers.

i have uploaded files to AWS S3. the default permission setting allows anyone to read files if they know (or can guess) the bucket name. S3 users need to be more proactive. they need to lockdown access to their S3 buckets (often used for backups). the defaults can be changed.

But hey, I can understand people that think protecting the integrity of the voting system is less important than deciding who can buy cigarettes. /sarcasm

Because the protections are not needed but typically act as an effective barrier for the already disenfranchised. Some people think it's more important to help the disenfranchised participate than to protect against a problem that does not exist.

Mars is more than capable of clearing its neighborhood on its own, as seen by measures like the Stern-Levison parameter and others that have been derived from dynamics and simulation scalings. It isn't even close to being marginal.

Jupiter's Stern-Levison parameter is 1,38 million times larger than Mars's. No, Mars would not have "cleared its neighborhood"; it's well recognized in the literature that the majority of "neighborhood clearing" in our solar system was done by Jupiter and Saturn. There's lots of niggling over the exact details (here's one scenario), but there's no reputable peer-reviewed source involving orbital dynamics simulations arguing that Mars did the majority of work to clear its neighborhood. Heck, Neptune has a Stern-Levison parameter 290 times higher than Mars and it still has at least two bodies with around 1/50th the mass of Mars each in its neighborhood (and possibly even larger ones). If a 290 times greater ability to clear its neighborhood couldn't do it, why do you think Mars stands a chance on its own?

The whole "cleared the neighborhood" concept for planets is built on a bare falsehood: that the majority of them are actually responsible for clearing their own neighborhoods. The science says exactly the opposite: that the gas giants cleared the majority of bodies from our solar system.

Because some people care more about the dynamics of the planets and their orbits than what is on/in the planets. Even in geology on Earth, there are classifications for what makes up a mineral, and classifications for structures and locations they are found in.

Are you seriously trying to claim that, say, stilbite will be classified as a different mineral based on whether it occurs in Iceland or the United States? Minerals are what they are. The individual structures minerals are found in may have names (for example, the "Bakken Shale"), but those are just names. You know, like "Kuiper Belt".

Some geologists don't care where it came from as long as the make up is similar, others very much care if samples come from near the same location, even if they are very different minerals.

What on Earth are you talking about? If you're trying to say "Some scientists want to study the variety of objects in the Kuiper Belt and compare them to each other", then you already have a word for that: KBO.

You can go on and on about how dissimilar you think Jupiter and Earth are, but that doesn't change that there are metrics where they are much more similar than other rocky planets are to Earth.

You can't be serious.

Were you sent here by the devil?

Yes I do read what I link to.

Do you have zero reading comprehension ?

Do you actually make an effort to understand if the change you read about supports the conclusion you post with all righteous speed? http://www.moyhu.org.s3.amazon...

You mean something like changing data sets ?

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gist...

uly 15, 2015: Starting with today’s update, the standard GISS analysis is no longer based on ERSST v3b but on the newer ERSST v4. Dr. Makiko Sato created some graphs and maps showing the effect of that change. More information may be obtained from NOAA’s website. Furthermore, we eliminated GHCN’s Amundsen-Scott temperature series using just the SCAR reports for the South Pole.

And eliminating pesky data ?

Yes, you can see how this change has dramatically changed everything. http://www.moyhu.org.s3.amazon...

That thing got beat with the nasty end of the ugly stick. I predict they won't sell many just because it's soooo damn ugly, no matter what the underpinnings might be or what kind of range it gets.

You don't make a car that ugly by accident. You make it that ugly because you WANT it to fail.

You should read the cert petition (a copy of which can be found here). Then you would know that out of tens of thousands of pages of legislation and regulations related to the PPACA (some that have counted assert that there are over 11,000,000 words of regulations related to the PPACA and a little less than 400,000 words in the statute), only one regulation was being questioned and that was based on just a few words in the PPACA itself. The petitioners NEVER asked in this case that the PPACA be discarded.

Since you seem not to have yet mastered simple Google searches, the question presented in the cert petition was:

QUESTION PRESENTED

        Section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code, which was enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), authorizes federal tax credit subsidies for health insurance coverage that is purchased through an “Exchange established by the State under section 1311” of the ACA.

        The question presented is whether the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may permissibly promulgate regulations to extend tax-credit subsidies to coverage purchased through Exchanges established by the federal government under section 1321 of the ACA.

The Act provides that “[e]ach State shall, not later than January 1, 2014, establish an American Health Benefit Exchange (referred to in this title as an ‘Ex-change’) for the State.” 42 U.S.C. 18031(b)(1). But the Act affords “State flexibility” in the fulfillment of that requirement. 42 U.S.C. 18041. A State may “elect[]” to set up the Exchange for itself. 42 U.S.C. 18041(b). Alternatively, if a State does not elect to create the Exchange itself, or if the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) determines that the State will not have the “required Exchangeopera-tiona l by January 1, 2014,” then HHS “shall establish and operate such Exchange within the State.” 42 U.S.C. 18041(c)(1).

An Exchange operated by HHS is known as a “[f]ederally-facilitated Exchange.” 45 C.F.R. 155.20. Though run by HHS, each federally-facilitated Ex-change is the same state-specific Exchange the State otherwise would have established.

see http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/...
You are right in that is is not tacit...is is explicit, the federal exchange is the established [and operated] exchange within a state.
