Are they expect a fleet of Slaughterbots to show up?

I mean, honestly, that would be kinda cool.

Yeah, no kidding. And look at the level of control the propose to exert. They want to lock down 30 nautical miles around a single commercial event. And they're going to just seize property without charge within that area for an extended period. And what are they looking to find? Are they expect a fleet of Slaughterbots to show up?

Educate yourself faggot.

I love the use of stainless. It's so much more forgiving, and people who know how to work with it are a dime a dozen.

Not to mention, the effect on the flux dispersal.

You just turn it on and it scales right up.

What difference does it make at this point? The case is closed, the company is gone, people have gone to jail. It's completely irrelevant today. There are also plenty of public records of the trials if anyone wants to know the details.

It may be due to the upcoming Mueller report and Sidney Powell, who wrote an expose book a couple of years back about the FBI.

She was recently interviewed on Mark Levin's show, and has some very condemnatory information about Mueller, some people on Mueller's team, and the FBI in general.

(NB: Sydney Powell is a former federal prosecutor, worked at the DOJ for 10 years, and lead counsel in over 500 federal appeals. Highly credible, whose information can't be dismissed out of hand.)

The Enron data might have been deleted because it might have been used to prove/disprove some of Sidney Powell's accusations.

Let's hope they have studied the the Fukupshima NPP and learned something.

And I expect their nuclear hygiene will be at least as good as their oceanic plastic dumping. So I predict a perfect track record - never an accident, never a problem. I'll be here munching on popcorn though.

Khaaann!!!

Automakers dealerships have a machine that reads the cars' repair codes. Not you local repair shop.

So does your local repair shot retard. They can buy them from: Snapon, Autel, Luanch, OTC. But a scan tool doesn’t tell you what the problem is. You still need to diagnose the problem.

No way will it ever beat this biologically based Jenga master.

Well, maybe this one guy.

The REAL absurdity is that today, in 2019, content produced in the US or Canada STILL ends up with different owners of the licensing rights in both countries.

I mean, seriously. I can understand the problem of legacy stuff that was created years ago, back when things like making moving prints, physically transporting them from theater to theater around the country, and promoting them locally was a big deal, but Jesus Fucking Christ on Rollerblades... pretty much ANY English-language TV show or movie that gets produced today and released in one country is practically guaranteed to end up in the other country within a year.

Technically, the media market between the US and Canada is about as frictionless as two media markets can possibly GET. We both use the same TV standard, have the same TV framerates, watch the same TV shows and movies, and listen to the same music.

Before someone brings up Quebec, I'd argue that French-speaking Canadians endure even WORSE grief due to the silliness of US-Canadian licensing complexity. Consider, for example, the tens or hundreds of thousands of French Canadians who live in Florida and New York & have to jump through silly hoops to watch French-Canadian TV shows that haven't yet been officially licensed yet for distribution in the US. Also, there's no need to "protect" French-language shows... French is a major worldwide language with a HUGE international export market, and Canada has become a worldwide film and TV powerhouse precisely BECAUSE most Canadian actors & actresses are now bilingual. In Canada, you can produce a film or movie that shoots close-up speaking scenes twice (once in English, once in French, same actors for both), use the same actors to dub THEMSELVES for the remainder of the scenes, and cost-effectively produce content with "native" production values in BOTH languages.

Incidentally, the "shoot twice... once in English, once in another language" strategy is something that was uncommon in the past, but has become popular in recent years thanks to both cheaper digital editing workflows and multilingual actors. The Norwegian+Netflix TV show "Norsemen" is a perfect example of it -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ).

And I'm NOT arguing that the licensing barriers between other countries make much more sense... I'm just pointing out the utter and complete absurdity of the present state of licensing affairs between two countries whose media markets have about as close to 100% overlap as you can get. Of all the things NAFTA has dropped the ball on over the years, this is probably the most galling example of something that SHOULD today be completely frictionless and transparent.

It wouldn't even take much beyond a treaty between the US and Canada & the necessary enabling legislation to declare that henceforth, after some future date, all newly-created (or newly-licensed within the US-Canada market) content licensed for distribution in one country is automatically licensed for distribution in both, and that no contractual language limiting the rights of a licensee to do that will be enforced.

At first, there would be too much legacy content with split rights ownership for much to change... but eventually, there would be enough content with unified licensing that some new service would launch that didn't bother to distinguish between US and Canadian customers, and as a result would only license content AVAILABLE under unified licensing. The aftermath would be a flurry of companies who owned country-specific rights bartering, trading, selling, and buying those country-specific rights to consolidate their ownership and increase the content's value by making IT eligible for licensing to that country-agnostic service.

Eventually, there would be enough licensing-consolidation, even of legacy content, for services like Netflix and Comcast to decide that it simply wasn't worth bothering anymore with content that demanded geographic restrictions, which would render content that COULDN'T be licensed under unified terms almost without commercial value until someone DID manage to buy up and aggregate the distribution rights.

it's just a different issue. There can be more than one problem with the internet. Yes, if there was a massive amount of competition you could just switch to an ISP that supported NN, but given the centralized nature of internet access and how much it costs to build out a network you're more or less stuck with natural monopoies.

Now, if you want to talk about red herrings, I'd say the real red herring is this notion that Internet should be provided by public companies in the first place. In 2019 it's too valuable a service. It's up there with water and electricity. My kid couldn't do her homework in bloody high school without it. I don't mean because she needed google, I mean because half her homework was delivered online and maybe 1/4 of her tests. And that got worse with college.

Here's a good video on privatization. Lots of things shouldn't be run by private companies because they're so universal that it's not just everybody wants them it's that society and civilization is improved when everybody has them. You can save more money giving stuff away sometimes.

They would have collected a lot more data besides tip amounts.

I'm not sure being smarter is the solution. In the past we saw that the fake news sites upped their game, creating entire fake news networks and brands to add credibility. People who post intelligent technical comments on Slashdot also push fake news too, so it doesn't seem to be a universal cure anyway.

Exactly. It's too easy to push fake news even inadvertently. It's usually not the fault of the person, just incomplete knowledge.

Even worse, once someone believes in something, it's very difficult to actually convince them otherwise, even with proof. It usually just causes them to dig in further, no matter how much the cognitive dissonance.

Designed by Bruce Lee before his death, and kept in a secret vault since, Dragon Box was capable of turning Hollywood films with American actors into Chinese films with Chinese actors. Its a shame they shut it down. Rumors are that Ghandi, before his death, also designed a similar box. This one turns Hollywood movies into Bollywood action movies as you watch them. Look what the box does to a typical Woody Allen film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
