Everything develops by trial and error. You get something a little bit right and then fix the obvious errors. Then you get the product or process a little closer with each repetition of test and correct.
Climate change science is kind of like that. Something bad is happening, and it is causally linked to our exponential spread over the earth's crust. Current indications are that we are impacting weather patterns to our detriment.
You don't have to be thankful the work of your planet-saving scientists, but we'll not have a cross word from you neither.
Reich, Robert not the Third, has a handle on this trade agreement being slipped right on by us.
Always remember that government regulations are a feature of fascism (not a bug), and when corporations are allowed to write their own ticket (lobbying), they are interfering with the market in an unnatural way. Fascism is most accurately described as the preeminence of the needs of corporations and governments above the rights of the populace.
They do what they will under the guise of security theatre. LEOs and TLAs routinely disregard anything remotely inconvenient for them in the pursuit of their mission.
Any citizen paying attention a small fraction of the time can see that the rights of the governed just get in the way of these "patriots" solemn duty to protect us.
I don't know who you blame for the way things are. Is it the fault of the violators of the Constitution or the complacence the general public seems to have regarding government malfeasance?
I'm guessing this is mostly a "covert communication with the outside" type violation though. The prisons are trying to prevent gang leaders/drug lords/etc... from running their empires while locked up.
Not to mention, those who would harass the victims of their crimes or plot escape with outside help. There are some serious considerations involved in the social ostracism of convicts.
To be fair, there are undoubtedly folks in prison for victimless crimes.
The thing is, there are some real deal malevolent maternal copulaters who richly deserve to be there. It's difficult enough to make rules in society that are fair to everyone, and the prison systems are not run by folks who will suffer much insomnia for applying rules that err on the side of caution.
They make an plugin alarm that notifies you via cellphone when a power interruption occurs (and when it is restored).
Wire it through a light switch (to an outlet) at a height your toddler can comfortably reach. Your home may already have a switchleg-activated plug for table lighting.
On its face, a land recovery might seem more practical.
Aside from avoiding cities and attorneys, landing on a barge in the ocean offers a couple of advantages:
The booster is already out over the ocean after launch from the coast. Redirecting it back to land would increase fuel needs and payload. (Musk says an increase of 15-30%).
The drone barge is able to move to the booster, an advantage difficult to mimic on land.
Ultimately, if there's a demand, there'll be supply. Shutting down websites of any kind doesn't alter demand very much, and so there'll always be supply. If the authorities wanted to do anything about this, they'd spend more time working on the demand side of the problem. Sadly, that doesn't have instant results, doesn't get headlines and for every success it has there's a notable failure too.
For lengthy citation, google the war on drugs. It has much in common with another government performance we refer to as security theatre.
Whenever a drug kingpin is taken down in Central America, or a corner street dealer comes down with a case of arrested, there is no shortage of applicants for the newly vacated position.
Mailing a single item of contraband is likely to go unnoticed by the postal service or a privately owned shipping company. Everything in this universe is a game of percentages though, and if you ship enough contraband packages someone will eventually slip up... most likely a recipient of your dark services.
Ask yourself this, darknet warrior, how many close friends would you trust with information that could severely impair your freedom of movement?
Although there are exceptions to every rule, this honor among thieves is a rather ridiculous notion.
At the very least, should you get less than expected purchasing something from someone who steals for a living, you are required to respond with I should have seen that coming.
Besides, all the really gifted folks who skirt the law for profit make a better living in brokerages and banking.
Don't believe it? Well, have you seen a single arrest of any HSBC employee for doing any of this? A single arrest for any of the customers who where committing these crimes? And even if you did see an arrest, do you really think they'll get convicted? Actually do any prison time?
More specifically, laws are to prevent the poor (who greatly outnumber the rich) from pillaging the rich.
All is not lost. It has remained this way for centuries. Every once in a while, a revolution comes along which supplants the power structure with some new nobles.
The new rich invariably concern themselves with protecting their money from the poor. The King is dead. Long live the King.
or, as evidenced by his breaking of his own rule "Don't face away from the door" when accessing network in public" (cheated, article insight), he had been overcome with the paranoia of getting caught for so long that he believed it to be inevitable. It seems there were protocols in place for multiple wallet (camouflage) transfer that he may have ignored in transferring money to his own laptop accounts.
We can agree he was not an honest boy, but he did some smart shit for a while... he just didn't have an end game, unless it was "he planned to get caught".
I have it on good authority one can go from "the worst pirate I ever heard of" to "that's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen" in less than *one film at the Bijou.
*It's a colloquial measurement, like football fields and olympic swimming pools.
In this case, it is necessary to place a drug dealer on the same plane as a sexual predator. How many illegal transactions do you think you might make online before you get hit with the federal whammy?
These LEOs can sit and pluck low hanging fruit all the livelong day, just like Stone Phillips & Crew..
So, end your days when you are still capable to decide. Opening the door to let someone decide for you because you have lost this capability and you believe today these individuals should be terminated is not the way to do it. You believe you have a right to decide. Yes, of course as long as you are capable to decide. Beside that, no one has the right to kill someone else, be he a doctor (m.d.).
Sure. If you are given that luxury. Sometimes things happen in rapid and surprising fashion, perhaps taking your ability to decide out of the equation. We could simply leave instructions. There is medical precedence for this with the widespread implementation of Do Not Resuscitate orders.
Giving a de facto authorisation to doctors to terminate life when someone is incapable to decide is opening the door wide to abuse by the doctors and by the government itself. In case you are not aware, the healthcare in Canada is paid by the government acting as an insurer, when times are hard, the temptation is high to end the life of many who are costing to the treasury even if they paid tax their whole life to have access to this healthcare when growing old.
I'd say the freedom to prematurely terminate your life should come with the freedom to extend it, as each individual sees fit. If you want to leave this life as you entered it, kicking and screaming for every breath, that is how you get to finish.

The parallels drawn in TFA between Peak Google and Peak Microsoft/Peak IBM are thought-provoking and relevant.
Nothing, no creature in nature or multinational juggernaut stays at the top forever... talking to you dinosaurs, US Steel and General Motors.

Hell yeah... think of the money you'd save not buying vowels on the Wheel of Fortune.
perhaps a bit of competition will bode well for space exploration development.
It's probably not the incentive military superiority or corporate profit would be, but it's still promising.
Heh, heh... well done.
There you go Braveheart... troll-spotting from the grassy knoll.
The rare bear metaphor stands on its own merit.
"Shoot Honey, after taxes, forty million wouldn't make a dent in our lifestyle"
You probably have a better chance being eaten by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day than winning the big prize on the lotto.

Now, how many strangers?

Laws are for poor people.

Obviously, allowing too many facts into a statistical database makes it much more difficult to skew the results.

Since it's not a question of if, so much as when one of these solar storms will damage Earth's electrical grid.
