What's interesting is just who is pushing for the bans these days.
My apartment complex is banning smoking starting Sept 1. No smoking in or within 25 feet of any apartment. Coincidentally, Sept 1 is my quit date. I successfully quit for about 15 years because I was in a relationship with a non-smoker. The biggest hurdle that I have is that my alternatives for satisfying my oral fixation tend to be high-calorie.
That depends completely on the preferences of the user when selecting an eCig, adjusting settings when available, and selecting fluid. There are ways to make huge clouds (with which some people seem obsessed), but that doesn't have to be the case. It's not difficult to vape very discreetly if that's your motivation. Unfortunately, allowing people to discreetly vape implies inviting the fog machines too.
Few countries accept asylum seekers from USA. When you make your bed, you sleep in it.
I think a better analogy would be, "You play the hand you're dealt." I didn't choose to be an American (make my bed.) I count myself fortunate that I am an American, but I had no influence over it.
My SIL showed me the app for her unit over the weekend. She seemed particularly excited over being able to order a cleaning cycle from the restaurant. She was also proud of the map she could pull up and show us of the floor plan and cleaning results, but it was the remote control that seemed to be the selling point. As long as these types of features excite people, they'll be available.
This reminds me of a similar passage - Just as applicable today as when it was written:
Woe to you, oh Earth and sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath Because he knows the time is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast For it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty six
... Six six six the number of the Beast Six six six the one for you and me
The post you replied to said that the situation in the US wouldn't be worse than Russia until reporters started turning up dead. You said it would be better if reporters started turning up dead. There's not a lot of interpretation there. Nobody in the thread asked, "what would make Trumps subversion more obvious". You didn't say "It would make Trump's subversion more obvious if..." You said "murder would be better..." while countering "murder would be worse..."
People already die in car accidents. The issue isn't whether people will get killed; it's whether this approach kills more people or fewer. You can say
...they're actually going kill people
but if they're killing fewer people than human drivers would, we've saved lives.
1- The ISP still sees you connecting to the pirate website.
My ISP sees me connecting to my VPN.
2-...if you connect to a pirate site and start streaming gigs of data - something that ABSURDLY OBVIOUS to anyone monitoring your connection (ISP)...
Don't care.
3- If the pirate site gets raided, authorities gain access to the server logs, with your fingerprints all over them. Timestamps, IP addresses, user agents, cookie data, the lot. Even if you used a proxy, they may have enough data to finger you, if they really want to.
Admittedly, there are ways to identify computers other than IP. But visiting TPB in an "incognito" tab over a VPN should minimize what's available in the logs. Also you've got to wonder how much these pirate sites are bothering to log - I'd imagine TPB doesn't take very aggressive steps trying to identify its users. Don't want them tracing your fingerprints? Wear gloves. Making yourself too difficult to track to be worth their while doesn't take a rocket surgeon.
the best way to go about it is bittorrent over tor
No. It's not. Tor's for shopping at the AlphaBay competitors.
Some of us have no way to legally see it, so torrents are the only option.
You don't have an Internet connection that could connect to HBO Now? You should be able to legally watch GoT, if you wanted to, without even having a TV or cable/satellite. What is your situation that you have "no way" to legally watch it? Are you living in a shack in the woods and posting to slashdot using smoke signals?
For most pills, tailoring the dosage to a 5% level isn't an option. Most pills are made in discreet dosages. A doctor isn't going to say, "Take a 200 mg tablet after scraping off 8% of it." They'll look at the available options of 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg and pick the dosage that's closest to what they want.
...cases of attacks are so few and far between that it doesn't make sense to even try to figure out how often this happens.
Donald? Is that you?
Isn't DJT the one that claimed 3-5M illegal votes in the election? And ordered an investigation into the results? He's the one claiming the highest rate of voter fraud because he can't accept losing the popular vote. It seems odd to allege massive fraud in an election he won, but his ego is insatiable.
That's fine advice for slashdot users, but will be ignored by the vast majority of customers. When somebody buys an IoT device, they're likely to go through the minimum set of steps that get the functions they want running. "Extra" features, like generating the occasional SYN flood, will be enabled along the way. Neither the manufacturers nor the customers have adequate motivation to secure these things. If there were consequences for an IoT device acting up (e.g. your ISP cuts your line until you have your shit sorted), we'd see a change of behavior on both sides. Right now, the only consequences of your IoT toaster participating in a DDoS attack are effectively invisible.
Its entirely possible for them to be burning cash creating content that subscribers aren't interested in watching (and from my subjective opinion that is the case).
Netflix knows very well what people are interested in watching. They may make imperfect predictions, but they know what gets streamed.
That's unnecessary. Just don't attach the storage to the camera.
If you mean carrying it on your person, that won't help. If you mean streaming it live (and not later) then that's what I said, and perhaps you could try to see your way to agreeing with me without trying to disagree with me.
Not trying to be disagreeable, just saying that livestreaming is unnecessary. Adding the ability to watch the video while it's being recorded doesn't add to its preservability unless somebody is watching and recording. In which case, why not just recording? When I said storage should be detached from the camera, I was trying to imply that it wouldn't be carried "on person." Moving the storage by 12 inches doesn't accomplish much. Having primary storage in the squad car with only temporary fall-back storage on-person seems to make sense.
If you mean "streaming it live" to a recording device, that's not livestreaming, that's recording. Unless every video taken is being livestreamed in the sense that it was "live" while it was being taped. That definition works for "Jimmy Kimmel Live", but generally fails otherwise.
Hopefully deleting the recorded video is more complicated than "accidentally" losing the camera.
If the camera goes into the river, or into a hole, or into an electronics recycling shredder, it doesn't matter how complicated deleting the video is. The only thing that might help you is livestreaming.
If I record a video with my webcam, I can toss the camera into a river, then a hole, then in an electronics shredder and not lose a second of video. "Livestreaming," I think implies that somebody is watching. That's unnecessary. Just don't attach the storage to the camera.

All the more reason to exclude those with mental illnesses from endangering the troops.
Does that include the commander-in-chief?
I'm currently using BitDefender Free, quite happy with it, lightweight, silent, no ads, no popups, works quite well...
I'm using Windows Defender and have similar experience.

[Except] the users of the internet. Our government for the people!
We need to institute a system where we, the people, elect individuals to represent us. We could call them Representatives.

Dude, AC clearly quoted you correctly. You can try to back up what you said:
"Shattering the illusion of the narrative" justifies murdering reporters. This is more important than a few lives and freedom of the press.
You can recant:
I didn't mean to say that murdering reporters was a good thing. I was just trying to say that suppression of the press needs to be exposed.
But you can't just deny saying it. It's right there.
Seems like it would be silly any way to go around their protections to pay them when they've chosen not to do business with you. Torrent away.
People already die in car accidents. The issue isn't whether people will get killed; it's whether this approach kills more people or fewer. You can say

Three things:

My ISP sees me connecting to my VPN.

Apologies - I thought HBO Now was available globally. I guess you'd need a VPN. From the Wikipedia entry:
HBO Now is only available to customers in the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, certain U.S. territories, and a few more countries.
Some of us have no way to legally see it, so torrents are the only option.
You don't have an Internet connection that could connect to HBO Now? You should be able to legally watch GoT, if you wanted to, without even having a TV or cable/satellite.

Kwyjibo. It's spelled Kwyjibo. "A big, dumb, balding North American ape with no chin and a short temper."
If running from a T-Rex was an actual concern, I would venture most people would be fit enough to pull it off.
Rule #1: Cardio
Depending on the drug, that extra 5% is relevant.
For most pills, tailoring the dosage to a 5% level isn't an option. Most pills are made in discreet dosages. A doctor isn't going to say, "Take a 200 mg tablet after scraping off 8% of it." They'll look at the available options of 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg and pick the dosage that's closest to what they want.

In other words: isolate these things on your LAN.
That's fine advice for slashdot users, but will be ignored by the vast majority of customers.

Right now, the only consequences of your IoT toaster participating in a DDoS attack are effectively invisible.
Only if the security incidents affect them directly. If the incident is somebody using the network for a DDoS, the owners likely won't notice or care.
Netflix knows very well what people are interested in watching. They may make imperfect predictions, but they know what gets streamed.
And Hollywood has 100-years of knowing what movies people go to yet there are regularly box office bombs?
That would fall under "imperfect predictions." Netflix knows very well what is a hit. Nobody knows what will be.
Its entirely possible for them to be burning cash creating content that subscribers aren't interested in watching (and from my subjective opinion that is the case).
