True...here's an idea to work around it: Have some femtocells that use random IDs and perhaps even spoof the IDs of nearby public BTSes along with lower transmit power. If an unauthorized phone connects to one of those, BOOM, caught. This will defeat blacklisting and even whitelisting if used with the spoofing.
It seem to me that modern American conservatives are at least too comfortable with, or tolerant of, white nationalism. They voted in a president who hinted at white nationalist leanings before the election, and mostly continue to support one who has expressed those leanings more strongly. Centipedes comfortably hide under the tent of conservatism to complain about crackdowns on hate speech. Conservatives nearly voted in an ephebophilic turbo-deplorable with antebellum nostalgia in Alabama. These accusations aren't baseless.
This. It's relatively trivial to prevent unauthorized cell phone communications out of prisons. They don't even need jammers, just a ring of femtocells that forward the traffic of whitelisted cell phones, and isolate and triangulate phones with IMEIs not on the whitelist.
If it's merely "conservative" these days to post swastikas and racist propaganda, then yes.
If conservatives want to ally themselves with white nationalists, by all means go right ahead, make yourselves as repulsive as possible to anyone who isn't a skinsack filled with concentrated rural-straight-white-Christian cultural butthurt produced by the decreasing power of white privilege. It pleases me.
I wonder just how little voting power the deplorables think they can rule with in an increasingly diverse America, especially AFTER the left has seen what happens when they sit home and sulk on election day? It'll be like trying to hijack an aircraft after 9/11 with one arm tied behind your back.
Actually I'd thought of that but it would make the experiment more difficult. My experiment was inspired by the effect of tall ships disappearing bottom-first over the horizon, but on a moving water surface with waves, there could be ways for flat-earthers to weasel out of this problem: They could argue that it's too difficult to measure angles on the ocean, or that wave peaks are what obscures the bottoms of boats at long distances. Doing the experiment on land eliminates these problems and keeps it cheap and simple (no need for a boat for one). These people like evidence that is directly and easily observable.
Not literally at home, you'll have to go outside, but with very basic tools.
What you need:
1. A place with a very long expanse of "flat" (spoilers: follows the curvature of the earth) ground and a tall structure (a runway with control tower or flat expanse of desert with a nearby tall cliff or plateau could work) 2. A large equilateral triangle frame with a plumb weight hanging from one corner. This is your highly sensitive angle measuring tool. Mark the level position on the face opposite from where the weight is hanging. Enclose it in clear plastic to keep wind away from the plumb line for bonus points. 3. Optional but recommended: Binoculars/spyglass/telescope, pressure altimeter.
Start near the base of the tall structure. Note any easily visible features near the base. Walk away from it in the direction that will give you the longest distance on flat ground. Check that the ground is level (and optionally check altitude) as frequently as you like. As you get very far away from the tall structure, note that features near the base are no longer visible. If the ground is measured as being flat (altitude can help confirm) yet the base of the tall structure is obscured by the ground at long distances, this proves that the earth is not flat.
I've noticed that the flat earthers have no explanation for what keeps the atmofrustrum from falling off the sides of the disc. The ice wall that keeps the oceans from falling off is supposedly only around 150ft ASL, which is nothing in terms of keeping air in.
Maybe there's another wall beyond the ice wall, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, made of the same indestructible stuff that makes it impossible to drill through the earth...but then they'd have to explain why this wall doesn't block any view of the stars near the horizon.
Is it a good thing to help idiots to build more powerful Office-powered clusterfucks? This is like building a cheap and reliable cell-phone-triggered detonator: In the most technical sense, you made an improvement, but what if you consider what they're used for?
So you will be happy when someone leak's Trumps tax returns, right?
There is a massive bombshell hiding in Trump's tax returns that he is absolutely terrified of the world seeing...I'll need lots of popcorn for that day!
I wouldn't mind if the US worked to influence Russian elections and get Putin voted out. Turnabout is fair play, right? Hanging onto power for forever minus a day is what Putin cares about most, and he's willing to tear Western society apart from the inside to help achieve that goal. I think he's a more dangerous character than Kim Jong Un at this point.
I would include more, but most of the references are from authors that I am sure you would immediately reject.
Indeed, because it would take a historical revisionist to suggest that there was something particularly "leftist" about support for eugenics when it found support widely across the political spectrum.
Rupert Murdoch is probably the most politically powerful person on Earth. If he's giving up his news channels and newspapers, he could fall a few places and leave an opening for the current #2, Mark Zuckerberg.
What in that article supports this batshit insane theory? If you think the mere fact that he was chosen as Person of the Year does, you should read the opening paragraphs again.
The full ACORN video (and more importantly, information about what was going on behind the camera) was not released until after ACORN was shut down. The full PP videos I know where released eventually (after the misleadingly edited ones), but I have a hard time caring about that story at all. Following obscure tissue trade laws is good I guess. But James O'Keefe isn't a bioethicist.
I'm definitely favoring AMD cards for my Linux computers now, which is all but one of them! I may even give AMD cards a closer look on my gaming PC since they tend to get handed-down to one of the non-gaming PCs later on. It's a shame Nvidia has a practical monopoly on GPU-accelerated physics.
The megacorps won't be very negatively affected by a tiered Internet, they could even benefit. They'll get shaken down by ISPs, but in return they'll receive massive barriers to entry, protecting their empires from any scrappy new startups forever.
A closed Internet is only better for ISPs and (possibly just in the short term) manufacturers of network equipment, nobody else. That's why all other businesses are pro-net-neutrality.
And the only difference it will make at the ISPs is the size of the CEO's next megayacht.

By correlating other information, it's possible for a piece of software to be racist without using race as an input. You should give this a read:
