If that is their basis, then someone could make a replica license plate that looks just like theirs, but isn't. Then could that person claim that they can't take the pictures?
Perhaps they could, but if they replaced it on their vehicle, they'd also be stopped by a constable. This poor fellow would have to explain over their protestations that one may not drive with a replica licence plate and, for doing so, one is subject to at least a fine and perhaps a revocation of the original licence plate.
Okay, you got me. I missed the last line of your post.
I still doubt the switch to rail freight would be as beneficial as you claim, though. Trains would have to stop more often for loading and unloading, driving down their efficiency, and container routing would be a nontrivial problem. To top it off, there would still be lorries running back and forth between distribution nodes and container termini, even if total miles driven were reduced. I suspect (though I am no highway engineer) that those are the roads most people spend the most time on.
Having a highway system is a public good, and I think an argument can be made that decentralized freight is a great big part of that good. I fully accept that lorries deteriorate the roads more quickly than passenger vehicles, but I still disagree with your "trucking company fat cat" tax.
Unless you meant to post that "More than half of all road traffic deaths for people between 15 and 44 are young adults," I question that your last sentence is remarkable. A 44 year-old is hardly a "young adult," and if the quote actually means that >50% of deaths are 15-44 year olds, I think the more surprising fact would be that anywhere near 50% of fatalities are people outside 15 and 44 years of age.
The rest of your post makes sense and is saddening.
In the bomb example, you are getting information about the bomb without actually transferring energy to or from the bomb.
As I understand it (and I'm not fully confident that I do), you sometimes get information about the bomb without transferring energy to or from the bomb.
You alluded to the crucial difference yourself: this project is not too late, it is right on time. Especially considering Google's ability to leverage its monopoly power and monopoly profits to push this project into a rapidly expanding application domain that it does not yet control. On top of that, it is developed in C++, giving it an inherent advantage over Linux in terms of code abstraction. As I said, Linux devs need to wake up and pull their heads out of their asses. This is not another hurd, this is an existential threat.
Okay, I'll bite. What "rapidly expanding application domain" is Google pushing this project into? Also illuminate how this application domain is one that "it does not yet control," especially with its "monopoly power."
You jest, but this was the subject of a Sci-Fi short. People were having trouble consuming all the output of the robot workers. Consumption was mandatory. Asceticism was a status symbol. Spoiler: they got the robots to use the products they were making.
I have no idea what inoreader is like because the only way to do so on their website is to sign up or watch a cartoon where a cheerful man tells you how busy you are. Give me a fucking feature list or at least a couple screenshots. Marketing arseholes.
For Windows OS updates or other bulk uploads or downloads, drive into town and use restaurant or library Wi-Fi.
No.
Even in the unlikely event that those "free" services that someone (ultimately you) is paying for would continue to be free when people are (ab)using them for their bulk uploads and downloads, still No.
What else sucks multiple GB of bandwidth per month?
All kinds of things, including (for instance):

I honestly cannot tell whether you are shilling, whether your internally held beliefs actually line up with Pai, or whether you think Pai ought to be correct because of who he represents and so you are backing up his total nonsense.
This is exactly GP's point. If E(25) >= catastrophic bodily harm, then E(50) isn't actually worse. If you went on to talk about braking distance in energy terms, citing the kinetic energy equation would make sense... but instead you opted for "enough said."
Not sure if all Toyota dealers are like this, or if I'm just lucky to have found a great one.
You may have found a great one, but it's also possible that it's a loss leader to entice you purchase your next car from them (and to word-of-mouth advertise for them). Their agreement with Toyota to be a dealer requires them to have mechanics, but those mechanics are not always doing useful work. If they can subsidise a sunk cost (at times that are convenient to them) and perhaps parlay it into a vehicle sale, that's a good business decision.
What if they're not a Senator yet? This is a great way to protect incumbents. Attack ad script:
Tim McNulty is running for congress, but there's something he doesn't want you to know: In 2006, Tim searched for BDSM eight times. Is that someone you want making decisions that affect your children? Say "No" to Tim McNulty. (Paid for by Friends of Al Hargreaves)
All the sitting Senator (or their PAC) has to do is buy the history from Tim's ISP.
I don't remember the specifics of Thiotimoline, but I think if it existed with the properties that Asimov invented, (and you were the only one who knew), you could make a ton of money on the stock market. If you set up a system to dump TTL into the solvent when a market trigger was hit, you could measure prices in the future and act on them in the present.

GP has a legitimate gripe, but offers a punitive tax on an already-regulated industry and does not even mention the Last Mile problem.

They did not connect...
Then how did they determine that the "back-end databases contain[ed] sensitive information?" Either they broke your CFAA, or this is speculation.

Are they taking the salt out to use it? Or because it would be problematic to leave it in the lake?
There is really no good place to dump the excess salt.
Modest proposal: Carthage.
E = 0.5 * m * v^2

The word "patent" is Latin for "lying open".
That's exactly what we're using it for: "openly lying" about inventing things!
