Time to flood these scumbags with so much useless data they drown to death in it...
Good idea. You can have some fun while you do it as well.
Flagger is a browser add-on that automatically puts red flag keywords (like bomb, Taliban and anthrax) into the web addresses you visit. Install Flagger to make a statement: government surveillance has gone too far.
I hope when Trump exits the TPP that the rest of the signatories will go back and strip out all the parts the US lobbied to put in that nobody else wanted, like the changes to copyright laws. No need for them to be in there anymore.
You're probably right. If we do switch to protectionist policies and the price of everything starts rising they'll all be looking for something to blame and I'm sure it wont be their own ignorance of the free market.
This. Tariffs will only lead to inflation. I always use toasters as an example, but any low margin good is the same.
You can buy a Made in China toaster for $20. It costs $30 to make one in the USA. How do you bring toaster manufacturers back? You put a $20 tariff on Chinese toasters. Now the Chinese made one costs $40, so everyone will buy the cheaper US made one and voila, you have toaster factories and jobs!
The bigger picture of course is that Americans now pay $30 for toasters that the rest of the world only pays $20 for, and everyone else continues to buy the $20 Chinese ones so you still have no export market. Maybe does not seem like such a good plan anymore.......
Japan doesn't import US-made cars to Japan. They make them in the US to... get around import restrictions! TADA!
Yes. And the same would be the case with any manufactured goods. The other 8 billion people on the planet are not going to pay more for US built (insert product here). You can make more stuff domestically for your own domestic market, but you will never have the global economies of scale.
Yeah. He thought it was stupid that they announced the assault on Mosul ahead of time. All the leaders are going to flee to safety he complains!!!
Of course this was an operation coordinated with thousands of Iraqi soldiers, Kurdish militias, and various diverse but aligned rebel groups who had been preparing for weeks. Trump thought it could be a sneak attack LOL. Who exactly is stupid?
Not to mention I'm sure the NSA et al were watching closely to see who was trying to flee. Sometime shaking the tree is a strategy all it's own.
All completely lost on the guy who wants to be Commander in Chief. Be afraid!!!
Yes, in this case it most certainly is. It is an informational letter to which you have absolutely no legal obligation to respond whatsoever.
Sending a letter from a lawyer representing you is a very stupid thing to do.
Indeed, it would be seen as an admission that you are tied to a particular case - information they would never otherwise have without a judge forcing the ISP to turn over your identity.
You should never ever do anything with these emails except delete them. If you get a lot of them you might consider a VPN or proxy service.
My ISP practically comes out and says here is a copyright notice we are required to send you, you can safely ignore it. Not in those exact words of course, but close enough.
If somebody wants her to enter a credit card number, she obviously followed a link in the email. There was no reason for her to do that.
Despite these letters coming from your ISP, you really have to treat them as a phishing scam. That is effectively what they are.
Have you looked at the likely impacts [www.ipcc.ch] with a mere 1K of warming?
I can look at first hand experience because we have had 1C of warming over the last 150 years. By pretty much all objective measure life is better for the vast majority of the world's population.
in fact, competent disaster planning would more likely work on the assumption of the worse case
Mitigation is not free. It actually has a very high cost all of it's own. An actuarial cost-benefit analysis is not part of science and should be done by economists, not scientists.
the only thing that's completely "settled" is whether it's happening at all
It is warming. It has been warming since the mid 1800s, and indeed for the last 12,000 years given it is an interglacial. Even if there was no science at all my money would be bet on more warming.
though we've got a pretty good idea about how & why
Your children will have a better standard of living than you do. For all the sky is falling rhetoric, life for most people on this planet continues to improve year on year by almost every metric.
As long as the people getting worried about AGW are chanting "no nukes, no nukes", I'm going to continue ignoring the AGW problem as "not very serious, really"....
So, up here in Canada, in today's news are some fisherman who (fortunately) failed to get an injunction against an experimental tidal power project, and a bunch of protesters who took over a hydroelectric dam under construction. Don't think that "cleaner" energy does not have huge amounts of opposition. Natural gas infrastructure expansion is undergoing major protests. Wind turbines are noisy and unsightly and subject to lawsuits, and solar thermal kills birds. Don't even mention the word nuclear and expect to be able to hear anything over the whining.
The best part about coal/oil is that a large part of the infrastructure is already in place. Building new infrastructure is hard, because no matter what it is, there are too many complainers. So good luck with that weaning.
Do they get the same devices back every game? Even if they nominally do, by best practice you would not want to leave anything "strategic" on a device you don't fully control. Ideally they should be wiped clean regularly, both by users and the NFL. Not sure if the users are allowed or the NFL bothers.
Anyway, it is a stupid idea all around but I guess the NFL makes money off it. Might as well just call the games from the local public library PCs.

I've never been more happy to be Canadian than I have since November 9th. I'm so profoundly grateful I do not live in the USA.
Thanks great grandparents (who I never met)!!! You made a great decision.

May end up being a much better agreement without the US.

Ranks right up there with "I was only following orders"
Sad but common.
I think she is smart enough to neither confirm nor deny, if she has to talk about it at all.
Not sure about Donald.
LinkedIn consists of people putting their best professional face forward. Facebook consists of people freely sharing their personal lives.
Mix them at your own peril.

It's never wise to ignore such a notice.
Yes, in this case it most certainly is. It is an informational letter to which you have absolutely no legal obligation to respond whatsoever.

Yes. If the observed data does not match the models the observed data must be wrong.
A little correction will fix that.
No, your science is just that underwhelming.
Or at least Belgian Waffles.

The lack of predictive ability belies that.
Because that is an absolutely huge range, scientifically speaking. At the high end that is certainly a problem. At the low end it is meh.
If you are going to tout how great and clear the science is, we kind of expect better.
We would really appreciate if you folks don't let Donald Trump anywhere near any nuclear launch codes as well.
Thanks in advance!

I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Sums it up well.

So what is the Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity again?
Oh, wait...
why they would need "connectivity."

I have no doubt that the pressure on Ecuador is immense.
Giving him refuge was one thing. Becoming his new base of questionably legal operations is quite another.
He is certainly pushing his luck.
A kiss is considered assault and battery? What a bunch of pussies!
