While I don't think you "believe the wrong things" because you "read slate," Will has at least one salient point. The FEC page with a relevant summary of the issues has some exceptions, including the Green Card holders he mentioned. There's also a section about Non-Election Activity, which appears to be rather nuanced, particularly the paragraph that reads
In AO 1989-32, the Commission concluded that although foreign nationals could make disbursements solely to influence ballot issues, a foreign national could not contribute to a ballot committee that had coordinated its efforts with a nonfederal candidate's re-election campaign.
On the other hand, I was surprised to find that PAC activity (except volunteering) of pretty much any kind was forbidden in fairly specific terms, as well as trying to end-run the rules.
...those--like Verizon--who only provide wireless.
Maybe they're not expanding their fiber any further, but it's demonstrably false that they only provide wireless. I think Pai's a mendacious weasel, but that doesn't make it right to lie about this.
The constitution was "reversed", as you say, to make senators elected rather than appointed by state governments in the early 1900's, so its not something that is really even close to unprecedented. Senators were meant to represent the interests of state governments in Washington, and not general citizens.
I recently learned about this as well. AC beat me to the post, though. I frankly think the Senate is kind of weird as a concept, but that's a topic for another time.
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."
- Thomas Jefferson
This is a cute turn of phrase, but a government gets to the "can take everything you have" size long before it reaches the "give you everything you want" level.* Most (all?) of the planet's population lives under governments that have reached one mark but not the other.
* For sane definitions of "everything you want" and "everything you have." Clearly, if one of the things I want is a government that can't take anything from me, the premise itself is flawed.
6-car trains at $14k/car comes $84k to retrofit and each train saves $108k/year on diesel. If you're getting a $24k return for each train you finish with the refit, just in the first year... awesome.
This is very interesting, thanks! I'd mod you informative, but I wanted to point out a possible problem with rollout to Bangalore and the rest of the planet. Singapore is more or less universally space-constrained, but in places that aren't approximately 100% urban, there's a gradient of traffic density. If I register my car in the Deccan somewhere, do I pay the CoE auction? If not, do you prevent me from driving to the city? If so, how far into the city? What if I live in the outskirts, but commute the other way?
Either you end up punishing people who aren't part of the targeted congestion, or some bloke's going to figure out how to game your system. And frankly, that bugger probably already is.
This is just an example of odd-numbered appellate courts showing their bias. Courts 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 have yet to weigh in---not a coincidence! My forthcoming whitepaper will demonstrate the clear link between uneven integers and constitutional jurisprudence.
One can't add an arbitrary 2FA scheme to Google without a phone number. Is this because Google doesn't trust me to keep track of my actual 2FA setup and wants to give me a recovery option? Or do they just want my phone number?
I would love to be mistaken. If there's a way to get around this, please let me know.
Even the re-type method could be tracked. I'm sure a computer system could be constructed to dynamically paraphrase sections of text when anyone who was not the original author requested it. Then if anything leaked, the forensics people check the word choice against a log of the paraphrases served to anyone who accessed the document. (This is basically a Tom Clancy idea but "with computers," so maybe it's patentable.)
The NSA uses more than one leak detection protocol as seen by the printer dots and the print-out logging. You'd have to defeat all the leak detection methods simultaneously.

The other 9% said "Nope, no one could exploit that. Certainly not me. Definitely secure. What's your IP address?"

... What if it's 0.71? Or -0.16?
How do you have -0.16 children? Does every sixth couple go find someone else's baby and kill it?
It was in a drawer next to Trump's plan to defeat ISIS. More details to follow.
Operation "Beware of the Leopard" ?
... all they had to do is spill a few of these secret meetings and it could have changed the election.
It would not be the first time something like this has happened.

You can get a PHEV Prius, but iirc its range is abysmal. Perhaps 30km?

A rational sceptic willing to be persuaded by contrary evidence? What has the internet come to?
I'm sorry. My responses are limited. You must ask the right questions.
Wonder how Olympic running records would be affected if a T. Rex were one of the starters...
That's an easy one. They would stagnate for a lack of competitors willing to enter the race.

I believe there was a joke in the 90s that the NSA measured its computing power in acres. Perhaps not a joke?
You insensitive clod! I'm an AI.
Hahaha, you're so naive...
Why would the CIA *and* NSA not have 'someone' inside Kaspersky?
You mean like Ruslan Stoyanov?
I would agree, except I bet it's on some "legal document authenticity checklist" somewhere. If it wasn't before, it sure is now.
Another day, another mistake. Life goes on.
And here I thought you were making a joke that just whooshed over Khyber.
Now where's the profit in that?
Ralph Nader. Oh, wait... profit not prophet
No? That's the cell-site simulator that uses friggin lasers.
