A warrant is more paperwork and has a higher evidence requirement than a non-warrant request, so people generally don't get warrants unless they need them. (Plus, the IRS probably investigates a lot of tax cheats, so they want to save time on them. If you're investigating the only murder your town has seen in the past couple years, you cover your ass and get warrants for everything.)
Incidentally, with many organizations, the standard for being able to make non-warrant requests for information is that you need to have the legal authority to obtain a search warrant. (Another common standard is "arrest powers".)
Technically, it's that if you randomly selected a person from the population at large and gave them 47.2 mg/kg body weight of capsaicin, it would have a 50% chance of killing them.
Well, for one, Appelbaum travels a lot. Sometimes to the US. His laptop has been confiscated by CBP before, if I remember correctly. So your solution amounts to dramatically increasing both the likelihood that you lose all your e-mail and the likelihood that you have a ton of encrypted data that annoys border security. Which might be "the right thing" but is hardly convenient if you're a traveling volunteer.
GPG won't do a damn thing to protect what the government asked for, which is e-mail headers.
(Make 70% of a Harvard salary, but with $100,000+ less debt)
Fortunately, I don't think the difference is that significant. If you could increase your salary by 43% (from 70% to 100%) by taking on an additional $100,000 of student loan debt (which often has better terms than other debt), you should take it. You could pay off your debt with the increase in salary within 5 years.
Didn't you just make up that implementation? It's sure as hell not in TFA, which only says that the Tennessee governor (not Amazon... not sure where they got that) supports "a national solution".
Many proposed Internet sales tax implementations are just federal requirements for online retailers to collect sales tax for all states, based on the state of the purchaser.
You're thinking of local projects being funded at the national level. Buying guns, for one thing, is not infrastructure development. For another thing, you're mentioning something that is the opposite of what OP asked about: national infrastructure being paid for by local funding.
You need a time-changing magnetic field to create an electric field (and thus directly induce current). However, a static magnetic field will apply a force to any moving charge -- that is, any current. It's the Lorentz force.
Corrections: * "Moving current" is redundant. A current is moving charge. * Moving charges create magnetic fields. * Charges, moving or static, create electric fields.
Also, time-changing magnetic fields create electric fields, and time-changing electric fields create magnetic fields.
This philosophical problem is neither new nor unexplored. I think the short version of the common response is that humans and God do not agree on the definition of "evil".
Are you claiming that py2exe doesn't exist? Or are you trying to make a larger, grossly misinformed point about the architecture of modern computation?
Burning coal is actually primarily burning carbon. You're not "moving around the hydrogen" so much as you are performing the reaction C + O2 -> CO2. Low-energy coal has roughly equal numbers of C and H atoms; high-energy coal is almost entirely C.
Well, assume for now you're just talking about code -- offshoring does, after all, happen with other things, too.
First, you need to maintain the capacity to modify and build the software. That means people familiar with the code, a complete copy of the build system and dependencies, and of course a complete copy of the code. That needs to be tested to make sure it works. This is because conflict could cause you to lose access to your offshore group with no notice. Second, you have to do quality and security reviews, because your offshore group can be subverted. You especially need security reviews, because a single security vulnerability is a serious problem if someone knows about it. So your security review needs to be able to catch every single vulnerability in a product that's often produced cheaply. Tough, considering catching security vulnerabilities is challenging and can be incredibly subtle.
Both of those are expensive to do. Generally you offshore to reduce your costs, so often you end up also skipping those steps, or at least not doing them as thoroughly.
Small claims court is actually pretty advantageous to individuals. It doesn't work well if you're just making shit up or if it's a stretch, but clear violations of law can result in judgements quickly and cheaply.
They must have shitty accountants if there are reasonable tax avoidance measures that they could be taking advantage of but choose not to because the tax rate isn't higher.
Prerecorded, I don't know. But if a debt collector calls you with an autodialer, you can take them to small claims court for $500, as it's illegal. If you can demonstrate that they willfully ignored the law, it's $1500.
Sadly true. I like Newegg, but recently I've been getting components from Amazon because I get free second-day shipping, 100% returns, and free returns shipping. Got tired of receiving nonfunctional components and then paying return shipping + restocking on them.
For one, the NSA probably doesn't plan on exporting it.
For another, there are plenty of standard encryption libraries that are already approved for export from the US and implement Top-Secret-level encryption. That's probably because we don't significantly restrict export of cryptography any more.
It is relatively rare today that a student is allowed to pursue pure research - the kind that has no direct application in a weapon ^h^h^h^h^h^h product.
This simply isn't true. It's very common for students to pursue pure research.

The only way you could get close to a 50% loss on the S&P is buying in October 2007 and selling in March 2009.

It's a lot harder to get a warrant to break down your door and take your computers than it is to subpoena records from Google.

There's actually even at least one paper on this:

To be fair, it's just a de facto requirement.

the level of demand that previously existed was predicated largely upon homeowners withdrawing equity from their homes
Do you have anything other than assertion to back that up?

Not a prerecorded call, but an autodialer. I forgot to specify, though, that it applies to cell phones only (as far as I know). Article here.
