And they claim a significant number - though that is for all terrorist incidents, not just plane related. However the fact that they do does suggest the TSA has got something to hide...
Given that the cost of UBI will come out of tax changes or somewhere, actual demand won't increase, so these suppliers won't be faced with a shift in their demand curve.
Sadly there is a substantial group who are incapable of entertaining themselves and so who spend their time destroying things. It requires a certain amount of self awareness / social skill to keep yourself entertained. Almost by definition anyone on Slashdot has these skills - but there are a lot of people who don't.

Given that in the UK you don't pay income tax on the first £11,000, setting that to zero allows the payment of £2,200 to everyone instead - or somewhat more given how much bureaucracy you can delete because everyone's income has 20% deducted at source. Squeeze out some other savings - e.g. on capital gains tax - and you can get to a level sufficient to end the need for many people to sign on for unemployment benefit, and certainly no gap whilst your application for it is being processed.

To operate a society needs to have taxes paid. If people refuse to do so, then eventually civilisation will collapse. Taxes are needed for infrastructure - roads etc. Taxes are needed for the police and prisons. Taxes are needed for care of the insane. Taxes constitute insurance against health care costs: if you have a major medical incident, who's going to pay?
Hobbes argued in his defence of the role of the state that if you insist on rejecting its rules, you should leave, and made being allowed to leave a fundamental right. By contrast you seem to be a parasite, depending on the taxes others pay. Is that fair?
Given that the Soviets expropriated foreign owned property, rejected the claims of bond holders against the Imperial Russian government, and can be argued to owe the victims of their invasions in Eastern Europe billions, one can hope that it will be tied up in court indefinitely. Sadly I suspect this won't happen.
That was the result of a state's regulations not being effective. Any reason to believe state electoral commissions will be better? (Trying to repost as a real person - wasn't logged in before!!)
Especially Eastern Europe and of course Russia and China. Their safety records are respectable, especially when you remove the accidents caused by poor maintance rather than pilot error.
I've slightly misinterpreted the sequence, but was happy to go with the flow; the point about him ending up as a some sort of super being was obvious; the fact that the French style environment was right was something that I hadn't picked up. I pleased to have got the extra data, but I was happy with where I was in interpreting it; I'd got enough to cope.
I guess the problem was this was seriously groundbreaking, so Kubrick was speaking a totally new language. I first saw it 10 years after its release, so it was probably less challenging by then.
The pace is horribly slow, the woman is a stereotype and the final denouement is rather ordinary by the standards of today. Which I guess goes to show that we expect far better these days, but we could only have got there because of the efforts of the likes of Harlan... But thank you for the link, it was kinda fun.
According to the update at the end of the article linked to in the OP, the hackers got away with the money. The article links to two Spanish language reports supporting this claim. Can someone check the Spanish and confirm please?
I can hear the Europeans sharpening their knives to make use of the new regulations about keeping data safe to fine T mobile serious money. At least let's hope so; mistakes like this should result in serious damage - in the hundreds of millions - to organisations profits.
When the IT department of the province goes to the assembly, it will be able to use this to demand a big rise in their budget. Hog heaven for top managers who can avoid the blame!!
We appear to have a classic example of government ineptitude in an obscure part of Canada, where it will be very hard to find competent IT staff. We should not be surprised at the cockup...
If I seek information under 'Freedom of Information' legislation, I am getting data that the government holds about the world in general.
If I carry out a 'data access request', I am asking for the data that the government owns on me.
It appears that Nova Scotia operated a 'data access request' system that held the personal resulting from data access requests on a poorly protected server, which our guy proceeded to access. As such this isn't a freedom of information issue, though it will probably be used as such to allow governments to wind down their commitment to freedom of information.
In Nancy Kress' Nebula and Hugo Award winning story, you see the opponents of the scientific advance choosing to pay more for worse technology as a gesture of solidarity against the non-sleepers. This appears to be the same action, which at best can be spun as such resistance, and at worst is sheer xenophobia.
The patients aren't the prescribers. Or are you saying that Doctors merely surrender to the expectations of their patients. Admitted the crazy American system of allowing Big Pharma to advertise their drugs directly to the public can make a physicians job harder in refusing what isn't good for them, but in the end the professional responsibility remains.
Great post until you mentioned them. Lots of other possibilities - and unless it was government sanctioned, it's especially pointless to mention those particular nations.

However one doesn't have great expectations of Americans, so perhaps Kubrick should have dumbed it down. ;)
Labour day? Halloween? Thanksgiving? When you replace Christmas with holiday in such a way that the meaning is lost, you've lost it.
The security of the American state, or of the incompetents who make these mistakes? Does ANYONE vote for the first?
