Shut down a website hosted in another country, run from outside the USA, not affliated with any US company...... or one that is use by 3 billion people legitimately, and 2 terrorists...
A Medical test that had a failure rate of 10% would be considered useless...but the failure (in both senses) of polygraphy is much worse than this...
A medical test that only indicated the people who had similar conditions but not the one you were looking for, and did not spot the people with the condition in the majority of cases would be never used...
Polygraphy is not effective or an aid to other methods, it does not spot the very people you should be investigating, and instead highlights a large number or false positives that you then have to waste time with
It is not "reasonably accurrate" is it a wildly innacurate, operator subjective, and has been shown repeatedly to not work!
the People who are not worried by the test, because they have nothing to worry about - They are fine
the People who are not worried by the test, because they can beat it - These are the very people you are trying to detect!
The people they detect are mostly those who stress about minor issues, and are often the people who are most valuable...
So it not only does not work, it weeds out people you want to keep, and fails to detect the very people you shuld be worried about
If a company registered in the USA, launches from the USA, mines asteroids in space, and returns to the USA, the the US senate currently says that the company will own what they mined and brought back at least according to the USA... others may dispute this
Taking off elsewhere, landing elsewhere, the journey there and back, and exporting to other countries could be very interesting...
To be a suspect you must have links to terrorism, or links to people who have links to terrorism, or links to people who have links to people who have links to terrorism....
This will eventuall include everyone but a small number of isolationist Amish....
The only people who have produced any evidence that polygraphs work are polygraph companies...
They are not admissable as evidence in court, which should tell you something
At best they will only tell you if someone thinks they are lying, not if they are...At worst they will tell you that someone is worried about failing a polygraph test
Many people's issue is not that they will give this to their govenrment, but that they will give it to the US Government, regardless of juristriction...
Shoudl I mutter something about no juristriction without representation... ?
This is the new 4.0 kernel, A Major version update , less than a month old, that most Linux systems will not have yet...and the issue has already been patched
Bleeding edge builds get what they expect, stable builds don't even notice
Do you think perhaps Siesmologists have not done this already, with better worldwide data, and better resources, and found that it does not work ?
Saying there will be an earthquake in a band of 30 days and getting it right 1/3 times is useless, if the mass evacuations cost more in time, money and lives than the earthquake itself...
And eventually people are going to accuse them of crying wolf and ignore them...
So Tesla or Ford sell a car to a dealer at a fixed price (they have no reason to do otherwise), and you buy it from the dealer at a variable (higher) price, along with some "added value" that you do not want or need
Why cannot I simply bypass the dealer and buy directly... like I can for everything else!
A system where Inventors get paid for other people developing their ideas, or people they sold the idea to get paid for other developing the idea is broken
If the Patent system encouraged people to innovate *and* develop their ideas then it would work, but the current system does not
The same Power Users are the ones that complain every time Office is upgraded because it broke their carefully made system of spreadsheets/documents etc...
They are using Office to it's limits already and any change will annoy them at minimum, they are almost certainly using office as a substitute for a custom built package and do not represent the vast majority of users..
LibreOffice is no substitute for these people because a) it is not MSOffice (they use all the features and rely on the quirks) and b) they use Office beyond it's real purpose and so any substitute will not do
These are the same kind of people who cannot use any substitutions for any package (even earlier versions of the same package) it is nothing to do with the inherent usefulness to the majority of the alternative packages

I trust the philosopher to define it
I trust the scientist to use it, loosely, to actually produce new theories that might be useful
I trust the engineer to use these to build or improve devices that are actually useful

The people who pass fall into two groups:
the People who are not worried by the test, because they have nothing to worry about - They are fine

Somalia has a perfectly functioning democratically elected government, it's just that it only runs a 1/3 of Somalia and calls this part Somaliland ...
This is the part withour Somali Pirates, without inter clan gun battles, but with a banking system, police, and even tourism ....
