The claim is this was a credible threat, where is the text of the email? What about this email made the threat credible, what differentiates a credible threat from a non-credible threat?
All the ticket sellers have to do is use reverse auction style ticket pricing. Start with (very) high prices when the tickets initially go on sale then drop the price on a day-by-day basis as the event gets closer.
That way there is no practical way to buy low sell high.
As long as drugs remain illegal there are people with deep pockets developing methods to communicate while avoiding police/government interception. These same methods can be used by groups like ISIS.
Just wanted to throw that out there for people to think about.
Is it better for me if the person using a drone to spy on me mowing my lawn has a registered drone? Is my privacy being invaded more if it's not registered?
If you're going to say that we would be able to track down the person responsible if a drone is used to take down a plane you're lying. A drone used in such a manner would be homemade, unregistered, stolen or the registration markings would have been removed. The registration database would be completely useless.
The registration is just the government being control freaks and not happy that someone is able to do something without their express permission.
"Drones, Oooo scary. We need to do something, this is something, we need to do it".
I'm sure this is a desirable setup for some people, the main problem I see is that you will have roommates, and not roommates of your own choice.
Grab ten random people and just try to get them to agree on anything, say for example the dish washing schedule, or the reasonable time to turn down the volume on the gaming system. The more people you live with the more problems you have to deal with.
What we need are Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter and other companies in the communication business cease all operations in Great Britain when this (or similar legislation) passes.
Let the people of the UK deal with the government when Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. stop doing business with them because of this law. If suddenly the people of England couldn't buy a smart phone, update their status, or tweet their latest selfie because of the government, they would take to the streets and they would have a new government in a few days!
Flying drones will only risk injuring someone if they have a catastrophic failure and just happen to land on someone when they fall to earth.
The land-drones will be in very close proximity to people the entire time they are operating creating numerous opportunity for injury on a constant basis. Way more people will be injured by these things than by flying drones.
Plus, people will just kick them over when they are in their way.
âoeThe Government is clear we need to find a way to work with industry as technology develops to ensure that, with clear oversight and a robust legal framework, the police and intelligence agencies can access the content of communications of terrorists and criminals in order to resolve police investigations and prevent criminal acts."
I'll tell you what, you put a system in place with clear oversight and a robust legal framework then we'll talk.
The issues are a little muddier to me when it comes to using a character
The solution you're looking for is trademarks. Copyright protects the work, and trademarks can protect the characters. Trademarks don't expire as long as you renew and protect them.
This is an excellent plan, soon we will be able to raise children completely in a sterile homogeneous government/corporate environment and won't need parents at all!!!
Reading the summary, it sounds like the army has looked at a Glock brochure and just listed everything there as their requirements.
Of course this is a military procurement so the requirements will change at the behest of vested interests until the gun is unsuitable for the dozens of new roles it's required to fill and many times the original estimated cost. Then it will be put into production and the soldiers will be forced to use them -- then the smart soldiers will just bring their own Glocks to work.
The advertising companies will figure out how to bypass ad-blockers, then the ad-blockers will figure out how to block the new ads, lather/rinse/repeat.
If the ad companies did a few things, people wouldn't feel the need to block ads: 1. Don't auto-play sounds or moving images. 2. Don't react when the mouse moves over or near your ad. Only react when your ad is clicked on. 3. Don't serve ads laden with javascript/flash/whatever. Some simple javascript should be fine but if the script can't be vetted in a few moments it's too complex--reject the ad. 4. Serve the ads from the primary web-site (including any java script), not a third party web site. 5. Don't track users across web-sites. 6. Vet ads before putting them in rotation. 7. Don't use pop-up, pop-over, pop-under, slide-out or any other similar technique. 8. Don't open ads in response to closing an ad or other window. 9. Don't obfuscate where clicking on the ad will lead. 10. Don't accept ads from companies of questionable morals, e.g. quibids.
If your AI is not capable of handling driving and it has to stop suddenly to hand over control to a driver, it's not ready for production. Period. If you are not capable of handling driving without having to stop suddenly to avoid an unexpected situation, you're not ready for a driver's license. Period.
The original post only sounds incredibly stupid to you because your scenario is incredibly stupid.
If the autonomous car with driver fall-back runs into a situation that it can't handle it will start an audible/visual alarm while bringing the vehicle to a controlled stop. The human driver can take stock of the situation and if they decide to, they can take over once then have the situation figured out, or they can simply wait for the autonomous system to sort out what's going on and continue. The autonomous system wouldn't just stop controlling the car, it would stop the car.
This idea that the car would just stop functioning with the vehicle in motion and require the human occupant to take control in a split-second is ridiculous.
Why bother with all the hassle of trying to isolate the bacteria then trying to figure out how to grow it on an industrial scale when we could just breed better mealworms -- better in the sense of being able to digest a higher percentage of the styrofoam.

Call Terry Gilliam, this story just gave me a terrific movie idea...
So someone SWATed the LA School District!
The claim is this was a credible threat, where is the text of the email? What about this email made the threat credible, what differentiates a credible threat from a non-credible threat?
Apparently Hillary thinks the same yet no Slashdot story on it.
You're exactly right, except for this Slashdot story on it...

A .22LR will do the trick, or if it's a particularly large dog a .38.
Can we also have it check for posts that support denying people their free-speech rights?

What is the point of the registry?
Is it better for me if the person using a drone to spy on me mowing my lawn has a registered drone? Is my privacy being invaded more if it's not registered?

People like you are why a law making it illegal to yell, "fire!" in a crowded theater actually has to spell out that it's legal when there is a fire.
There is no law against yelling fire in a crowded theater, you just can't use the First Amendment as a defense if you cause a panic doing it.

How a company who has an ad campaign with the tag line, "without us, some guys would starve" can be considered misogynistic is beyond me.
