Extradition treaties do still hold some meaning. If Kim Dotcom had fled to a country that doesn't hold extradition with the US, there would have been nothing they could do.
Net Neutrality is definitely about content-restrictions on packets. Many of the implementations that net neutrality aimed to protect against involve artificial restrictions or congestion (see Netflix' battle with Verizon and Comcast over this pre-NN) in order to extort money out of content providers. If it was mere congestion-based, I doubt many people would have as much of a problem as they do.
HBO has consistently raised the stakes for simulated sex on TV. Even Netflix and Amazon have gotten into the business of making shows with near-realistic sex scenes. There's a lot of big industry that has large pools of money to dump into lobbying the shit out of repealing stuff like this if it was ever pointed at them.
They can try to enforce that, but right of first sale means the consumer can resell the item without conditions after purchase. As long as the disks work independently, enforcement of that license is tricky at best, illegal at worst.
Unfortunately, so many businesses require a Computer Science degree that it's difficult to get a job without one. And the colleges aren't interested in teaching the nitty gritty for the job details, they're more interested in teaching the fundamentals and abstractions behind code. Which means that CS grads, like myself, graduate with an understanding of how things work, but not much experience in making them work. That's why junior positions are so critical to fostering them from degree holders to developers.
Last year I went to a job fair, and I got one interview out of the batch of 15 booths that I hit (out of 25 or so that I marked, many of them weren't there or had misrepresented what they were there for). I guess I didn't match what that company needed, I didn't get any further than that interview. Investing time in a job fair takes a lot of my energy, and with that kind of outcome I'm more demoralized about attending future ones. I'd rather just cold submit resumes to online job applications, I can handle 50 of those getting 1 or 2 interviews, than 15 face-to-face encounters where I pour out my soul and get little to nothing.
Worse, I just get told to apply on the website or get the card of the recruiter, like what was the point of showing up to the job fair anyway?
Pretty much this. I applied for a position earmarked for college grads when I was a semester away from graduating. I was told I needed more experience.
So much of the problem with interns is that I can't get an internship unless I'm a college student. I have my degree, so I don't qualify. But I can't get a job with the company because I didn't intern with them.
I looked at Fizzbuzz and, given 5 minutes, I could probably come up with a similar solution as the top answers provide. It's certainly not inclined towards elegant solutions at first glance, though it depends on what you prefer in your elegance (if you want lean runtimes or lean code). But it looks like a first year programmer problem, not something that I would be satisfied in qualifying me for a position with that company.
Apparently I left out DC as well (the proposal to shrink DC to the limits of the National Mall would still fulfill the constitutional requirements). Basically, there are far more deserving areas that should get statehood than some breakaway counties of a well-to-do state.

Increase property values for houses that have solar panels? Hence more property taxes.
I often find ACs to be raving lunatics as well.
That's also because Amazon isn't just an e-commerce business. They have fingers in many pots, and some of them pull in profits where others do not.

OMG, Facebook is just MySpace with no user customization and a terrible homepage!

Post with an actual account and you might have an actual discussion.
Seems like the French also read Jefferson's papers. They're a prime example of how not to run a republic.

That's why this is a civil action against Redbox, and not a criminal proceeding.
I'm in the Midwest, any companies you can point my way?
So I should throw away my degree and attend a bootcamp?

Please point me in the direction of your company!

By any chance, is your company in Minnesota? I'm probably an older junior dev, and am having a hard time finding a job. Sounds like a perfect match.
There are temp coding jobs? What's the point of that, really, for a company?
Pretty much this. I applied for a position earmarked for college grads when I was a semester away from graduating. I was told I needed more experience.
So much of the problem with interns is that I can't get an internship unless I'm a college student. I have my degree, so I don't qualify. But I can't get a job with the company because I didn't intern with them.
So, what you're saying is, I should ignore the requirements and apply anyway?

So basically, you're not looking for junior positions. You're the problem the article is talking about.

Someone has to keep the lights on at home for all you jetsetters.
