Then again, car drivers whinge... when cyclists use the shoulder and ride past stopped traffic. They keep whinging when cyclists ride in the lane and they're forced to go around and pass. Drivers need to figure out what they want cyclists to do.
Someone finally says what I've been waiting to hear. And yet, I find no consensus from drivers or police constables on what behaviour they actually prefer.
"Sand mafias" are groups of criminals that illegally dredge sand from areas where extraction is prohibited. Since they're not following laws, all environmental protocols are ignored. Often rivers are illegally mined, destroying the habitat for fish and fishermen. Sometimes land from private villages is even taken over by these mafias. If they're confronted, violence often results.
I was going to make a typo joke about how nobody drinks coffee anymore in "2915," but we've been drinking beer for much longer than 897 years. Coffee has a couple centuries in its own right.
Off-topic here: What the hell is NPC in this context? I always read it as "Non-player character," which probably tells you something about me. It is a little fun to imagine people sending you off on a quest to "Collect 5 codes of conduct" or what have you.
(1) a limit on recurring taxation of real estate to 1% of the property's value and (2) a limit on the year-on-year increase of recurring real estate taxation to 2%, in order to prevent retired people from needing to move when their nest egg can't support the taxation on their escalating home values.
There would not only set an automatic limit on the expansion of the population, but it would [...] actually reduce the incidence of rioting as time went on.
There are frustrated people right now who want children but have trouble procreating. Now you tell them that government technocrats are keeping them from raising children... and you expect fewer riots?
Not only that, you'd materialize a market for stolen babies. After the pool of adoptable children dried up (which is great!), desperate would-be parents will look elsewhere.
Your grand vision is interesting, but the social costs are too high. Write it up as a sci-fi short.
I don't care about what the site owners say; they could be evil. Wasn't that your point?
The browser knows my locale. If I'm in en-GB, let me know if I hit a domain with maths characters (or Turkic, etc.). Yes, it will penalize websites outside of my locale, but maybe I want to be cautious there anyway. Sure, it's terrible, but it's still better than secretly hiding subdomain segments. Oh, the exciting things I could do with "mail.google.www.com."
When.CORN is a TLD, we can have this fight again (yourbank.corn).
The Chrome team believes that URLs are the Phisherman's friend. IMO, we made a mistake when we allowed general Unicode URLs. We should instead have defined for each language the precise set of characters allowed, and required every URL to use characters from a single language.
Fine. So check for that instead and mark domains with non-locale or lookalike characters.
They're starting out by giving it to retailers. Excerpts from Krebs's article, quoting the general manager for Mobile Authentication Task Force and assistant vice president of identity security at AT&T. Emphasis mine.
“We can be a primary authenticator where, just by authenticating to our app, you can then use that service,” [Johannes Jaskolski] said. “That can be on your mobile, but it could also be on another device. With subscriber consent, we can populate that information and make it much more effortless to sign up for or sign into services online. In other markets, we have found this type of approach reduced [customer] fall-out rates, so it can make third-party businesses more successful in capturing [lots of data via a mobile device].”
Jaskolski said the coalition is hoping to kick off the program next year in collaboration with some major online e-commerce platforms that have expressed interest in the initiative, although he declined to talk specifics on that front. He added that the mobile providers are currently working through exactly what those defaults might look like, but also acknowledged that some of those platforms have expressed an interest in forcing users to opt-out of sharing specific subscriber data elements.
Definitely no kickbacks from these retailers, no siree.
This does, however open the market to create a sham ISP that rents a line from the ISP with a local monopoly. This new ISP then "offers service" to one house every 1600/sqrt(2) meters in a grid. The service can be poor quality or exorbitant; it doesn't matter. The point is not to actually serve that customer.
Then, everyone is within 800m of a place with "competition," and the real ISP set prices without restriction.

It's this, except at the org-level?

But do they come back in greater numbers?
Are we sure he isn't Musk?
Yes. Musk wants to go to Mars. Rei wants to go to Venus.

we're putting all our chickens in one basket?
I wouldn't be too surprised. We're doing this with bananas for the second time, now.
I'm confused. You're upset that they give you a choice between AMD and NVidia?
... NPC style agreement...

To save future readers from a quick trip to Wikipedia, Prop 13 appears to be
(1) a limit on recurring taxation of real estate to 1% of the property's value and
(2) a limit on the year-on-year increase of recurring real estate taxation to 2%, in order to prevent retired people from needing to move when their nest egg can't support the taxation on their escalating home values.

I, too, would like to see analysis for KeePass2Android (both with and without registration as an Android keyboard) and for Password Store.

They set the clock 3 minutes ahead which ruins all the jokes about the clock being 5.4E+10 meters away from town.
