This dude had better move his miner, or the FCC might send him another harshly worded letter.
No, actually the next letter from the FCC would likely be a NAL...(Notice of Apparent Liability) Which amounts to a fine which can run thousands of dollars a day. Although, what they would likely do is knock on his door and ask to inspect the premises and explain to those present their responsibility to fix the problem before resorting to the official fine.
IF you are running a part-15 device, you get to fix any interference problems your device causes at your expense and the FCC can issue you fines.
Of course, the FCC doesn't have it's own police force and has to depend on local law enforcement and the US Marshal's service to actually confiscate equipment or force collections of their fines. So, if you are clever, you can drag this out for a very long time. One case I know of went on almost 2 decades before the FCC finally got the guy off the air and I don't think they ever collected the fines before the guy died.
Why did Muller do this? Not one of these charges will EVER see court or even a plea deal. WHY would Muller even bother with this if it didn't implicate an American or two he could actually take to trial?
I don't know what the answer is, but is sure is curious that Muller decided to do this because it gets him nothing.. No perp walk, no trial, no plea deal, nothing but a Friday afternoon presser. Plus the charges specifically say that none of this activity materially affected the outcome of the election.... What is he doing messing with this kind of garbage?
The rallies were after the election. If you read the actual document they state that most of the activity was against the Clinton campaign.
Because she was favored to win... After she lost, they ramped up the opposition to Trump.. Why? Because they where on a FUD campaign.
They literally didn't care who won, they just wanted to make trouble regardless of the outcome. Their goal was to instill distrust in the USA's system, incite social unrest and protest. By all appearances it was money well spent given the 18 months of huffing and puffing we've been though so far.
hmm thats a pretty good point, if foreigners are not supposed to get involved, then technically it would be lawful to have ICE at their rallies to check citizenship.
Lucky for the illegals here we are being nice and presuming you are entitled to be on our soil, so we don't run about checking folks papers in public places, though I think it's constitutionally possible if you are asking every body and not profiling. Personally, I'd not expect to be given the leeway to protest immigration policy in another country if I was there illegally and wouldn't fault the other country for arresting me should I try, I don't understand how illegals think it's OK to do this here.
So when illegals have a pro-immigration rally will you be crying about "foreign nationals" are not supposed to do that kind of thing?
Come to think of it.. NO, they are not. In my view, if they don't like things as they are here, then they should just go home. I also think we should HELP those who are illegally here to find their way home if they are so unhappy that they are protesting policy, so be glad I'm not running law enforcement.
If you are visitor here, you are visiting and don't get to participate fully in our political process. You don't get to vote, you don't get to petition the government as a citizen and you don't get to donate to political campaigns. That we afford you the assumption of constitutional rights on our soil including the freedom of speech and the like is us being nice.
Their GOAL was FUD and unrest. To that end they supported the candidate they thought would lose.
That's why they where supporting Sanders in the primary and why they where supporting Trump over Cruz. Their goal was to spread unrest and FUD so they picked the apparent losers because it allow better bang for the buck....
Seriously, who thought Trump would win the Monday before the election? Nobody...
But the charges are clear. No Americans involved knew what they where doing or that these people where Russians INCLUDING Trump's campaign (and yes, it literally says that).
Oh, the indictment is juicy, folks. Among other things, it specifically charges that these Russians sought to help the candidacy of Donald J. Trump, and that they also sought to suppress minority votes, and to create social media accounts pretending to be US media outlets and American individuals.
We got us a RICO case against the White House. This is 'bout to get real interesting.
Try again.. I just heard the presser for these charges. They where actively supporting BOTH sides. One day they actually set up two rallies in the same city, one for Clinton and one for Trump...
I'd be careful with your conclusions here..
Why would they do this? They where spreading FUD about the election SYSTEM in this country. They didn't care one wit about which candidate won, they just wanted to make people not trust the system. They where sowing unrest, not trying to get Trump elected....
I heard the presser for this.. "No Americans involved who knew what was going on or that Russians where involved" is the key thing I took away from it.
Just pointing this important fact out.
Also, they are alleging that these Russians organized rallies for both sides. In one case, they organized two opposing rallies (one pro Trump, one pro Clinton) on the SAME day in the SAME city... Foreign nationals are not supposed to do that kind of thing, at least within our borders where our laws apply.
That's a big IF you have there. Paying interest can quickly turn a profitable business unprofitable.
But, your point is a good one. IF you can borrow on future profits, cash flow may not be that big of an issue for you... But you have to be profitable enough and have a long enough history that somebody will be willing to lend you money. Many businesses are not so lucky.
However... My point still stands. If you cannot lay your hands on the cash you need to pay your bills today, you are going belly up regardless of how much profit you make. Still Cash flow kills more businesses than lack of profit.
What is this CA lifestyle thing? Got to love living in poverty making $100+K/year. But hey, the sunset ocean view from the refrigerator box is stunning every evening it's not raining and the neighborhood isn't on fire
It's where the high paying jobs are, especially in tech.
Then I suggest that they don't pay enough and if you are measuring "standard of living" and not just dollars there are MUCH better places to live and work as an engineer. How do I know? I've lived and worked in a number of them. Yea, I get paid less in dollars, but I live better.
The other options are Seattle, New York, Boston and maybe Austin. All very expensive. Sure, we could live somewhere else and get paid 1/3 as much as we do here in California. I swear whoever invents the transporter from Star Trek in RL is going to be the richest person who's ever lived.
I've lived in Austin, it's not that expensive if you don't mind a bit of a commute. It's a nice place if you don't mind the "Keep Austin Weird" thing and I would highly suggest it over San Francisco where I've lived too and where you simply cannot commute far enough to make it livable on what they pay.
The rest of the places you mention are off the charts expensive and I'd not live there for love or money anyway... Well, maybe if there was enough money...
Actually FedEx is blaming the company they purchased for this... I guess the IT guy who got laid off after they purchased his company will get the blame.
Who works for FedEx in their IT department... I sure hope he isn't the one who takes the fall for this, because you KNOW that some low level IT guy is going to be crucified for this lapse of security procedures.
Never mind that NONE of this data should EVER live unencrypted on hardware outside of your direct control and only decrypted when needed.... OR that FedEx actually collects such information in the first place....
Man I sure hope it's not his "fault" because he's got a large family to feed there..
What's better, revenue, or profit? I worked once for a shop that had profit every single quarter (and tidy bonuses for all of us under the sharing plan), right up to the day they laid us all off and closed down the shop.
Actually.. It's CASH FLOW that kills more companies that lack of profit. You can make a tidy profit, but if you don't have the cash to pay the bills when they come due it's game over.
You need profit to stay in business long term but Cash flow will kill you today...
This isn't AI and it's not even new... I happen to KNOW that this kind of thing was being done back in 1993 with audio signals doing spectral analysis of a signal to pick out noises BELOW the noise floor of the audio that NOBODY could hope to hear. We even used neural nets to compare these noises in different sources and detect things like direction or even locations of the source if you had multiple microphones providing you audio... Worked like a charm back in '93.
Wow.. The public school system has failed you... Or you are really a socialist at heart.... Or both...
Look, socialism doesn't work. History is full of attempts to make it work, but it ALWAYS fails. Why? Because it's fundamentally flawed. How? It ignores human nature.
You keep basically saying, "if you do it right..." as if you or folks you can find are somehow better able to implement your governmental principles than the hoards of very bright historical people who have already tried. Has man somehow gotten brighter, more intelligent? I don't think so. Therefore, I think the record of history speaks truth and your ideas will continue to fail. It doesn't matter how big you go, how all encompassing you make your socialistic utopia, it's going to fail.
So single payer health care will not be cheaper, it will be more expensive, or it will be rife with rationing of care. There is no other possible outcome, no matter how bright the people are who run it.
Your economic theories don't work, despite your belief they do . The solution is individual responsibility and equal opportunity (not outcome) and LESS assistance which builds dependence. We MUST address human nature and use it to enable people to be successful on their own and stop this culture of dependence we've created by handing out stuff. You don't do that by redistribution schemes... You just make EVERYBODY equally poor. But that's the end state of socialistic programs from history, everybody is poor, everybody suffers. Don't believe me? Venezuela did all the things you suggest in principle and went from a vibrant economy to a desperate third world failed state in less than a generation.
Bonus points: you can fit universal healthcare in there and still barely avoid raising taxes, if you do it right.
You have one fundamental problem with your views... Government is the least efficient way to do ANYTHING you can name. Your caveat "if you do it right" betrays the truth here, that you can NEVER "do it right" if the government is responsible for paying for it. You will, of necessity, have to limit available care to match available resources. Remember this is 14% of GDP now... You will surely have to raise taxes, print or borrow 14% of GDP to pay for this...
The solution to poverty is not hand outs. It's not free healthcare, free food and free housing, that fixes poverty. Sure such programs treat the symptoms, but it doesn't cure the illness that created poverty in the first place. So I ask you, what IS the solution? Because what you are suggesting has historically NOT helped.
I guess it depends on who you're afraid of. Depending on my activities and discussion I might feel safer with the Chinese government having my information than the NSA.
This isn't an either or situation... It's one or both... Still, it's your call...

But the mythical Trump Russian Collusion narrative is dead now. But hey.... We knew that already.
Their GOAL was FUD and unrest. To that end they supported the candidate they thought would lose.

Exactly this...
Pull a quote out of context to prove your point? Why nothing is beneath you is it...
Take a look at paragraph 6, 28, 57 and more buddy... They where spreading FUD...
Nope.. Clearly the Justice department is saying "no Americans" knew what these Russians where up to.
Oh, the indictment is juicy, folks. Among other things, it specifically charges that these Russians sought to help the candidacy of Donald J. Trump, and that they also sought to suppress minority votes, and to create social media accounts pretending to be US media outlets and American individuals.
