The "Electronic Embassy" was "gamed" to begin with.
If you want goodwill on the path to normalizing, you don't do it by sidelining diplomatic channels and messaging unilaterally. That's hostility - not diplomacy.
If the US State Dept wanted full relations with Iran, they could open up shop tomorrow. But everyone there knows that Israel would cut off their lobby-enslaved testicles. The barriers to entry are US and Israeli.
The "Electronic Embassy" was created TO BE BLOCKED
Now, the "evil Iranian government" can be used to generate a thousand obfuscating talking points - and to frame Iran for "blocking dialogue" - when in fact, it is the US which has PERPETUALLY refused relations and negotiation.
This is a ruse. Iran is not some Western Asian version of North Korea, propagandized with some false lampoon of the US that dominates popular imagination.
As I indicated in the earlier story, there is little or nothing that Iranians need to know about the US, that they don't already know, either by watching satellite TV (which every Iranian has) or by calling their cousin in LA, which half of all Iranians have.
Iranians tend to be the most Amerophilic people you will encounter - but the US has been able to do extensive damage to that impression in the past few years. They seem to be on the path of eliminating all good graces.
So we can't condemn religiously driven, government backed discrimination because some individual US citizens are bigots? I certainly disagree there.
Disagree? So does Hillary Clinton.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced deep concern on Saturday over a wave of anti-democratic legislation in Israel and in particular a bill proposing to limit donations to human rights organizations. Clinton also criticized the growing exclusion of women from Israel's public life.
In a closed session at the Saban Forum attended both by Israeli and American decision-makers Clinton addressed the issue of discrimination against Israeli women. She expressed concern for Israel's social climate in the wake of limitations on female public singing and gender segregation on public transport....
Clinton, a longtime advocate for women's rights, noted she was shocked at the fact that some Jerusalem buses have assigned separate seating areas for women. "It's reminiscent of Rosa Parks," she said, referring to the black American woman who refused to give up her seat to white passengers in the 1950s.
What religion do you feel bears hardship in Iran? Baha'i yes. Sufi muslims, yes.
I can't think of many others. Iran is home to tens of thousands of prosperous Jews and Christians
Women have always enjoyed relatively high-status. They make up a better proportion of university professors, doctoral-level researchers and mid-level executives than say, the United States.
In Israel, women are being segregated to their own section on public transit! Such a ridiculous situation never existed in Iran, even in the height of the revolution.
Tehran has a better claim on 1st-world status that does Detroit.
Despite their current Government, Iranians live freer and are better connected to Europe and the US than are the people in "democratic ally" states like Uzbekistan!
How cruel this would be, cloning an individual or two.
If the Mammoth is anything like the Elephant, it has a sophisticated intelligence and psychology - intimately linked with the social and familial bonds in its herd.
A lone mammoth or two, without mature, bonding mdels? It is similar to breeding a captive human on a distant asteroid, from an in vitro culture.
The chrome extensions are PAINFULLY platform specific. Many of the extensions I use say Windows only. No Mac or Linux. They are also slower and buggier. The entire install and update process is unbelievably primitive, with no reliable and consistent notification system.
The Mozilla extension and plugin ecosystem was remarkably well planned, and the community of contributors has - generally - executed well, within this.
There is no good way to block/expunge LSOs and flash cookies in Chrome, that I have found. And I trust Google about as well as I do any other private contractor to an intelligence branch of the US government.
Satellite and cable are Dodos. The only reason the "market" hasn't kicked them to the curb is regulatory capture/incumbency.
My kids watch whatever they want, when they want - legal or pirate stream - on laptops. They started this at 8 years. Noone told 'em if it were legal. They'd just google "watch futurama".
Of course history had two dimensions: Confederate armies and Hitler. Oh! Three dimensions, if you count "historical Jesus" shows during Christmas and Easter seasons.
My response to the question as well. The problem with TV is not technology.
What is broken about TV is content. Direct TV is amazing! There are now 1000 channels, with nothing on. The technology improved this from 50, a mere decade ago.
I don't wan' a "History" channel that gives a platform to observe crackers welding hotrods, or a chance to watch "Like Water for Elephants" at 7.99 USD.
I am afraid to even ask about the listing: "Dave's Old Porn".

Bachman has zero influence - when measured on this scale:

Well, as long as this one isn't used to train secret police in the art of torture...
580, 680, 880.... All roads to hell. I won't cross a bridge and enter the USA, anyways.

Delay the "sucking sound"!
Think of the SWEATERS that'll be made!
Dublin?
Can they demolish the rest of the place, and then move on to Pleasanton?
I think they'd do good, were they to level everything along the 680 corridor - up to Altamont.
Good I stopped using that blob...
Freer than Singapore, all things considered... And they can chew gum there, too. It's called "Adams" - after the famous American brand.

When the cannibal re-located to the Caucasus, he opined, of the local cuisine: "Tastes like Chechen".
US sets up another propaganda/disinfo channel.
Iranians are much more aware of America and life in the US than vice versa. Americans imagine some weird, gulf-state with face covering and camels.
Not this:

"Can" and "Should" are seldom in agreement.

I won't browse without most of it, troll.
I load pages without all your flash/trash and trackers.
Remember when History had history programming?
Of course history had two dimensions: Confederate armies and Hitler. Oh! Three dimensions, if you count "historical Jesus" shows during Christmas and Easter seasons.

The chromium world will need to cultivate as diverse and independent a community of developers for extensibility.
It's SO HARD to point your MX record to a working host!
And then, to populate an IMAP from your directory? Don't get me started...
Everything happens at once, all the time, forever.
Debian and FreeBSD don't support the IP20 and similar series framebuffers, or the digital audio. :-(
These MAY become my home heating system/servers, tho. :-)
Heck, how'd that happen, after they lost their dangling participles?
