Most business use VOIP and I'm unclear why a business line that rings to a cell phone is an issue giving out to customers vs giving them the number to a POTS line.
Why would you use AT&T for VOIP, I mentioned that you can get free VOIP.
Press charges? You've been watching too many movies.
The FTC isn't the correct agency to contact about people impersonating IRS agents. Try the IRS. And, no, they aren't required to take some sort of action either when "a victim wishes to press charges".
They can find Rachel, I had no problem tracking down one of the Rachel calls, they were in the US, they made only modest efforts to hide who they were. They know that the worst thing the FCC or even a state attorney general would do is after a 3 year investigation announce a $110k fine and a promise they wouldn't do it again.
I will give him credit for actually pursuing people who are openly doing it from Arizona but it would be more effective if state law provided for a private right of action and stiff statutory penalties. Getting hauled into court by dozens of people looking for a $1000 + attorney fees payday is more effective than having to face some penalty negotiations with the State Attorney General's office. Just ask businesses that don't comply with ADA about that.
Or T-Mobile, I travel outside the US > 50% of my time and appreciate my phone always working and always having data with the data free, though not high speed.
A LIDAR can give you a higher resolution view due to its much smaller beamwidth. The RADAR pretty much gives you distance and velocity to things in front of it, it can't distinguish an overhead road sign from the broad side of a semi.
LIDAR is affected more by fog, rain and smoke in the air.
Two humans and one computer failed to avoid the collision. One human was at fault for failing to yield to oncoming traffic. Fatal accidents involving left hand turns are common.
About 100 people die every day on US roads. Beyond regretting that yet another person failed to yield while turning left in front of traffic and it resulted in a death what, exactly are we supposed to care about regarding that particular accident?
I don't know how many lives would be saved with autonomous vehicles, I only know that about 30,000 deaths a year on the roads are caused by human errors. Far more accidents involving serious injuries and billions of dollars in damage also occur each year due to human errors.
It does read road signs and it generally does know what the speed limit is.
It limits the driver to 5 mph over the speed limit but that only applies to residential areas. On divided roads the driver is allowed to select how much above or below the speed limit to operate the car at.
SKULLY presentation from The Next Big Thing in Wearable Technology at the Paley Media Council, December 9th, 2014 on their website.
CEO gives a short presentation, sits down for the interview and pretty quickly he is asked if he is "in market", when he makes it clear that he has just pre-sold over $2M in product the interviewer says "You've got the cash, they don't have the helmet", sort of smirks and says "Good business model"
Which finger you use is akin to a password and you shouldn't be required to reveal it. Of course the police could be observant and notice which finger you use so it wouldn't be a very good technique.
Routinely destroying evidence to avoid implicating yourself could be a crime. However, having an automatic data retention policy likely would not be a crime. If you routinely back up your data to encrypted storage, a good practice, and then automatically delete old data you are being prudent, not a criminal. Just don't sit around with your partners in crime discussing how to thwart law enforcement by using data retention policies.
Intent matters. And intent is difficult to prove if there isn't any hard evidence and your actions have a legitimate purpose.
Developers in the Southwest don't get and haven't ever gotten free land to build on, at least not in my lifetime.
The State of Arizona was deeded large amounts of federal land when Arizona gained statehood. The land was put into trust with the sale and leasing of the land required to pay for public schools. They don't give developers any of that land for free, one recent parcel went for over $1M/acre for unimproved land.
In 2013 they received over $300M from land sales and leases.
Oh, it actually was bootstrappy capitalists that built the original canals the make up the Salt River canal system in Phoenix, they were later bought by the federal government who still owns them today. Neither the bootstrappy capitalists or the federal government gave away the water from those canals for free. Not back then and not today.
It has nothing to do with the value of the citizens in rural areas but the substantially higher cost of providing service to them. Or, to put it another way, does it make more sense to spend $100M bringing service to 10,000,000 people or 1,000,000 people?
Governments did outlaw "unnatural sex" in many states until the US Supreme Court ruled in Lawrence v Texas in 2003 that essentially reversed a previous decision from 1986.
Republicans didn't have an exclusive on intolerance for "unnatural sex".
Earned is the correct word to use to refer to resources that were paid for with earnings.
I don't withhold my resources (ie my retained earnings) in order to extract labor from people. I've always just offered to pay people a fee for their labor, which happens to be the same way I earn most of my money.
If you don't have any resources I'd suggest a two step approach: 1) Perform labor for a fee 2) Don't spend all the money you were paid for your services
Now I do admit that it is far easier if you can just replace step 1) with "Have someone give you some of their stuff", I can assure you that not working and getting paid only works if the percentage of parasites is sufficiently small. Too many parasites and the host dies.
They are only slaves to the choices they freely made. Ranging from where they live, what they did to educate themselves and how far they are willing to travel to get a job that isn't at the neighborhood Burger King.
Choices have consequences and sometimes the consequence is only being able to work at a Burger King for minimum wage.

Turn off the phone that is running Waze and getting me to my destination?
Most businesses have moved to VOIP long ago, its reliability is fine and the cost savings are substantial.
The bigger the business the more likely they've moved to VOIP.
Most business use VOIP and I'm unclear why a business line that rings to a cell phone is an issue giving out to customers vs giving them the number to a POTS line.
Why would you use AT&T for VOIP, I mentioned that you can get free VOIP.
POTS is going away, start dealing with it now.
We are talking about VOIP calls, I'll repeat "they don't have a clue where a call originated from".
I can sign up for VOIP services and make VOIP calls all day long and nobody will know where I am when I originate those calls. Or who I am.
Press charges? You've been watching too many movies.

People telemarketing in the US from foreign locations absolutely are subject to US laws. They are just more difficult to haul into court.
Just ask Artem Vaulin
There is nothing broken about a system that provides anonymity or spoofing for incoming phone calls.
They can find Rachel, I had no problem tracking down one of the Rachel calls, they were in the US, they made only modest efforts to hide who they were. They know that the worst thing the FCC or even a state attorney general would do is after a 3 year investigation announce a $110k fine and a promise they wouldn't do it again.
Here is one relevant recent enforcement actions in Arizona:
https://www.azag.gov/press-rel...
Arizona Telemarketer Fined $110,000
48,000 calls per month for years, defrauded consumers, zero jail time, $110,000 fine.
The zero jail time is why there is no fear by illegal telemarketers.
Another just filed:

Or you could just get a cell phone and use a free VOIP service as a backup.
That way multiple things have to fail before you can't make or receive phone calls so you have more reliable service and you save money.
BTW, while POTS is more reliable that doesn't make the alternative of VOIP unreliable. It makes it marginally less reliable.
People keep saying "the phone company ..." as though there is some universal entity called "the phone company ...". There isn't, not any longer.
No, whoever provides your phone service doesn't have a clue where a call originated from. Nor do they or should they care.

This should serve as a reminder that backups are important.
