You can't have one sided encryption, but nothing forces you to solve this problem with just two sides.
A third side (in the middle) can let you open an encrypted connection to it and then connect unencripted to the target.
That third side doesn't even have to be a central known server, or a server on the same country, or even a server at all.
That third side doesn't even have to be singular. The bandwidth people are getting to download huge HD movies make everything else so small in comparison that it can be used to pass everything else through a large number of encripted bridges.
Brute force "solutions" won't crack entire population traffic "problems".
As always, reason won't even reach those who accepted the false premise as truth. The distribution of information by "news" just doesn't work like that.
The only solution to misinformation is educating the population on how to interpret that information a priori and reject at least the most blatant idiocies.
Obviously the implementation of this solution won't come from the governing forces, which use the general lack of critical thinking to even more profitable means than news distributors.
> it has a better geometry than NASA's Orion or the Russian Soyuz, giving better lift, and control. This is not done by the addition of useless wings, but by using two brakes.
In case you're interested: The brakes are controlled separately. One applies to the front directing cilindrical sustainer, the other to the rear main power.
The optimal braking is then executed applying the force in a 3/7 proportion, to avoid unnecessary drifting.
Further investigations are studying the possibility of changing the current power source. So the astronauts don't get so tired.
People have been saying that since the VHS home rental market sprang up. Most people were satisfied with that. There is no quality threshold that the stay-at-home crowd is waiting for, it already came long ago.
I think it's a matter of amount of difference. People said that before because the ability to actually see the movie seemed to be the main function. Then we discovered that quality was important enough to grant going to the theater for the best products (movies) and leaving the rest for the home systems.
To dodge the new menace of equal quality we would have to discover the other thing about theaters that make it worth to keep going. And here we reach your other point:
Theaters are a place to go, a thing to do, an experience to enjoy. They will never go away.
Let's see if theaters could reach the timelessness status of restaurants:
- You can't get the same product at home, or it's much more expensive in most cases: This was true for theaters, but as they rely on technology (not on human service), it can end.
- You can't have the same environment at home: Theaters abandoned that route a long time ago. I concede that really nice and pretty theaters could last eternally as an elegant way of spending an afternoon. The rest would have to throw out more than half the clientele, the ones with phones, kids, or an inability to shut up.
- Having the same product at home means some work on your part: This won't help theaters unless your friends really make a mess with the popcorn.
Maybe they'll survive as holographic rooms when people move to smaller and smalled homes, but that's the only chance I see for theaters in 50-100 years from now.
They will work for a while until prices of large screens go down. It's not a big deal, the money will go to a different business model, the space will be used for live performances of whatever else. And the world will go on.
It has a long tradition and has had a great impact but, let's face it, putting hundreds of people in a single room just to see recorded media only makes sense until people can see that same media in a quality similar enough, at home.
The key is in the "similar enough" part. 50" 1080p is quite cheap already but still expensive for a large part of the public. Also taking into account that 50" is only perfect for a relatively small room. However, larger screens go down in price and have no limit in this progression, while theaters have, at the very least, all the costs of a public building.
The person(s) responsible for this bug is going to have a nice and very uncomfy meeting with their supervisor very soon...
But who was responsible? Let the Ginquisition begin!
Google has persistently pursued innovation and pushed the limits of existing technology to provide a fast, accurate and easy-to-use torture room that can be accessed from anywhere.
It's not just like 'thou shalt not kill', each command is quite verbose.

If someone else goes to the lengths of finding an alternate and viable method of producing a drug, then sorry.
And how do you define "alternate"?
Is an alternate method one that seems exactly like the original but using blessed water so the result is holier.
What about a method that uses a component that you assume to be equal (water) but that your opponent in the patenting sees as different (water with undetectable infinitesimal traces of a nocive element).

Fully encrypted internet coming in 3, 2, 1 ...
Threat escalation in a system whose knowledge limit gives the advantage to your opponent is dumb to the point of retardation.
Our sons will be amazed that once we used a non ecrypted web where anyone could read our personal messages.

How exactly is pornography a problem?
I wonder what unique items would drop a chinese tax collector.
... do the actions of a few motivated individuals become "intellectual terrorism?" Excuse the hyperbole,
Ok, let's call it "gramatical terrorism" and forget about it.
How long till "trolling" becomes "forum terrorism"?
I'll call the news "mediatic terrorism"; starting today.
Are you feeling lucky, punk?
Hell, on Star Trek, they only needed 2 settings, Stun and Kill.
What do we need in between those two settings?
- Poke
- Annoy
- Discomfort
- Stun
- Harm
- Maim
- Cripple
- Mutilate
- Dismember
- Terminate
- Massacre
- Disintegrate
- Erase
- Unmake
Set rifle to stun!
How many of us knew this would be the first post after reading just the news title?
Do you think the research started with "This technology may work to make a variable muzzle speed rifle." or with "Bullet Phasers!".
(For a second there I contemplated the alternative "OMG Phaser gunz pewpewpew!!!" but it was too depressing.)

When they create a black hole and destroy the earth, they can say "but it was such a cool experiment..."
Actually, they can't.
Unless they synchronize the destruction with a space tourism trip.

Everybody! Start checking for suspicious space flights!
Only The Spice confers prescience.
Actually, it confers "the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of universe without moving."
Well, at least they got the "not moving" part right.
Testing doesn't confer prescience.
Outside your market-based fantasy world, artists don't have such a choice. They have to do as the record company says or get a job in a shop.
OMG, Really?
I can't even imagine what would it be to be forced to do as my corporation says or get a job in a shop.
No, wait...
How many musicians can make any meaningful amount of money from their creations even 2-3 years after the first release, never mind 50?
How many programmers can make any meaningful amount of money from their creations even 2-3 years after the first release, never mind 50?

You mean stealing warmed, spiced apple juice from a dyslexic person?
No, he meant a weather in some location averaged over some long period of time that has fermented apple juice characteristics.
He's talking about London.
I don't complain when I have to convert from metrics to imperial.
That's because Metric Starfleet sounds quite lame.
