Nobody who starts with the fire in a crowded theater trope has anything intelligent to say about free speech. It's dicta from a case with a terrible ruling
Its worse... it is also a misinterpretation of the ruling. The ruling wasnt about speech, but it was about incitement.
Fraud is not an exception to free speech. ,br>
Tricking you into giving me money in a fraudulent matter is a property crime. The property being the money. It is not a speech crime.
In the past if a company in country X was breaching advertising standards the regulators in that country could close them down.
There has always been mail order across borders. Many magazines end with page after page of mail order advertising.
Its true that across borders there is less protection fraud. Look in the back of Mexican magazines and there will be an advertisement along the lines of "How to avoid U.S. immigration laws? Learn how! Send $5 to this foreign address." and the response will be a piece of paper sent via post that reads "Don't emigrate."
If you dont want to get screwed by someone in far off nation X, your first move is to not send money to far off nation X. Now the problem is localized. Even if the business is in far off nation X, they have some local representative handling the money (for instance, your credit card company), which is not out of reach of your local regulators.
Arguments against this line of thinking are quite frankly irrational. Take some responsibility. You can easily dispute a credit card charge, and while that does effect your credit score, it SHOULD (your credit score is too high if its got a bonus based on you being willing to pay for fraud.)
Intel doesnt patent their process. They protect it via trade secrets instead, and it makes sense to do so because of how long it takes to spin up a fab.
I openly admit that I'm a fan of AMD. However, I think it's reasonable to ask why Intel CPU's have not seen any large jump in performance or features until they had to, due to AMD competition, again.
Your confusion is this:
There has not been a large jump in performance for Intel parts. These chips are just higher core count, and you pay more for those extra cores.
You will not see a big boost in performance from Intel until they figure out 10nm, which is 2+ years late now and things still arent looking good. The last word from Intel was "Q4 2017" but that was over a year ago. Intel is in big trouble. They beat everyone to 14nm/16nm by a large margin but then got stuck chasing a 3D transistor fantasy that just cant economically be reduced down to 10nm (their 14nm 3D trigates werent economical either, but they were so far ahead that that just didnt matter at the time.)
Its easier with Kodi + a plugin that scrapes the many pirate websites to find movies than it is to go to netflix/amazon/etc, hell its also easier than going through my DVD collection looking for a particular movie.
I'd easily pay $50/month for a service that offers every movie/show ever produced ready to go on demand, so honestly all these content producers need to get together and consolidate onto a single service and split up my $50. Until then they can go fuck themselves.
I've been watching a lot of movies produced in the 1970's, many of which arent available for streaming anywhere except the pirate sites.
You are fucking retarded if you think what the FCC has done in the past, and continues to do now, is "irrelevant" to what the FCC will do in the future. And since you did come right out and say it, its not an IF any more.. you really ARE fucking retarded.
The alternative to the government regulating radio broadcasts, is them not regulating radio broadcasts.
Not all regulations are equal.
In this case nobody else is licensed to use this frequency anywhere even remotely near this location. Cogitate on that idea for a bit.
The FCC is not mediating between rival licensees of this frequency. It is just standing in the way of what can easily be argued would be an easy increase in wealth for the residents of Puerto Rico. Wealth is goods and services, radio is arguably both, and expanding coverage means more goods and services.
Slow down there, cowboy! Are we to understand now that a radio station being *forced*...by government regulation...to *stop* serving their market in the manner that they'd been doing and spent good coin on doing is the *free market* at work?
That is exactly how the leftists think as is evidence by the non-stop comments that have been here on slashdot for years.
It doesnt matter how involved the government is in creating the problem. What matters to them is that they can vilify something other than the government. The left have become Statists. Its why there is now the term "classical liberal." Modern liberals don't believe in liberty.
Wow you are completely ignorant of modern technology.
....but amazingly you have the integrity to act like you know something.
You can buy 360 degree panorama cameras OFF THE FUCKING SHELF at big box stores these days. For example, at Best Buy you ignorant dishonest pretending fuck.

To be fair you don't need a degree in something to be good at it
A degree is a better signal of competency than a vagina is.

That's like trying to argue that because some people use guns to commit crimes, that guns should be banned.
Hotel rooms are used to commit mass murder. We should ban hotel rooms.

Thousands of people have now probably watched a Falcon9 landing with their own eyes
Probably more like hundreds of thousands.

This requires that the government recognize bitcoin as being a currency, something most governments arent willing to do.

If you want to win "the laptop and tablet battle" you are messing with the wrong end of the price spectrum.
Its the same with streaming movies.
Its easier with Kodi + a plugin that scrapes the many pirate websites to find movies than it is to go to netflix/amazon/etc, hell its also easier than going through my DVD collection looking for a particular movie.

1.25 TFLOPs in sub 40-watt? Last I checked Radeon Duo was like 250w and 11.45TFLOPs
Last I checked, the Radeon Duo wont run on passive cooling and costs a fuckton of money.
Getting the picture yet?
Quotes and platitudes sound nice but do nothing to solve the problem.
Its not a platitude, and your argument is severely flawed.
Also the reason "problem with free speech" is in quotes is because its not a fucking problem.
The only people that think free speech is a problem are those intent is silencing others. Thats you, you fascist marxist fuck.
An uneducated populace is easy to rule. Divide and conquer.
Yet Hillary didnt win, and her divide and conquer party is disintegrating.
Agreed.
The answer to the "problem of free speech" is more free speech.
Who is claiming that?
Democrats. More specifically, the corrupt corporate crony wing of the Democrats (which is the wing in control of the party.)
The progressives will never vote for you fucks again.
It is their members who show up without fail to every election. Especially the low turn out local elections.
Another group that show up at every election are the old religious people, people that are not uncomfortable with guns being around.
And for every NRA member there are many other gun owners that are not NRA members.
"There's 100 million lines of code in cars now"
No, there isn't. So this guy, criticizing, is making shit up in order to do it.

Tesla was moving electrics as fast as they could be produced, with less range, for $100K, so I'm thinking a $50K battery isnt the problem.

When iPhones phones start coming with 360 degree panoramic optics.... what then?
and I'd also imagine this camera isn't on a swivel.
I don't either. I imagine it being a 360 degree camera or a good approximation.
