Because it's been shown that in many data streams that they collect ALL communications and store it for future fishing expeditions, not only the specific target of interest at that point in time. There's no guarantee of you, your company or your (whatever) not becoming a target of interest in the future if say, for instance, some fascist demagogue was elected to office, (strictly hypothetical of course lol)
The difference here is that in China the rules were spelled out from the beginning, not attempting to change the rules midstream in a way that runs counter to existing law and precedent and the Constitution itself or attempting to perversely use an overly broad, vaguely worded "all writs" act that was never intended for use with the object in question (the iPhone).
The city I live in has more dark fiber in the ground per unit area than just about any major American city, most of it owned by a subsidiary of a local utility company.
However, nearly none of it goes near residential areas, it's strictly commercial, government and university areas that are served. This is not a solution to the "last mile" problem.
what a stupid analogy. Your comparison would only make sense if the warrant included disassembly and confiscation of all contents of the house and the structure of the house itself, including coercing the builder of the house to tell the authorities how to disassemble it.
Laws and precedents from the days of quill pens and parchment documents have little relevance to a device that contains a significant portion of your life's history in your pocket. Doesn't stop the government from using them that way though.
It's what's legal and constitutional that matters, not the latest poll likely based on a sample of 1002 people, which is artificially selected based on who has still has landline phone AND decided to participate in the poll, which artificially biases any result towards more conservative and older voters
Illegal under net neutrality for a network provider to do this, at least in the US. Blocking at the client level or private network gateway/proxy is the only real legal approach there.
However, I definitely like that these guys are pressing the right principals against the abusive advertisers
So it'll save me about $1 in electric costs vs. whatever the increased price of the object is? Hard to know since they are typically bundled with a larger product.
Fear tactics combined with power politics and vote getting symbolic lawmaking will nearly always win. Prepare for the backdoored encryption world (if we aren't already there) unless something dramatic changes in how we make laws.
in this sort of virtualizarion hosting environment, you don't fix it. If it can't be resolved remotely you simply take it offline and permanently shut it down, much like bad sectors on a hard disk or SSD get remapped and excluded.
GW scale reactors most definitely CAN do that, if they were initially designed to do so. The ones we currently have in operation weren't. (I've operated both commercial BWRs and PWRs too, not only naval)
Nukes are only inherently more expensive when you change the design a couple thousand times during construction, after portions are already complete.
A boiler plate design like we have available, like the limited numbers of near identical models that the military and the French commercial power reactors use, nearly eliminates that excess cost. You are seeing the result of custom one off designs, not inherent costs in the technology.
Currently operating commercial nukes based on 1950/60's technology and designed from the outset for base load generation don't load follow well, that is true.
I think you would surprise the Navy with the statement that nukes don't vary output well, I personally took a naval reactor from 5% to 100% in less than a minute, Shutdown to 100% in less than 15 minutes, and back again multiple times per hour routinely.
Bad blanket statement.
online advertising business models cannot support the salaries and infrastructure of a proper formal news organization, therefore the quality drops to a level that is supportable by the business.
and yes, that makes the Uncle an ass. That doesn't mean that there should be a law against being an ass that is expressly forbidden under the constitution and court precedence.
and if they don't record/chart their observations for the next health care professional to use, using the systems agreed upon by whatever health care establishment they are working at, then communications of sometimes VERY vital information fails and patients die, become injured or fail to get well.
Blame the designers (or project managers, whatever) for poor systems, but "opting out" by the doctors is a poor solution to the problem.
and if they had found and admitted their mistake quickly we wouldn't be talking about it. But instead it took months, repeated calls, a "research project" on the part of the customer, and insider contact from a tech publication site to get them to even look at the issue that turned out to be completely their fault. That's why we're talking about it.
(no mod point) This! Yes! If it's used for billing then it should be measured by an approved, documented and controlled method, like any other utility.
It took them more than three months and required essentially a "research project" on the part of the customer combined with contact and assistance from a tech publication site to get them to "discover" the typo and admit it was their fault. What would I want? To not have to bludgeon tech and billing support people with data and connections to get a proper response.
I likely won't use it much personally, but I definitely could see the feature having a role in presentations or demo's at a user/customer location without needing to carry a full laptop. Even remote work on call if tools (like remote desktop) were full available. It could also be handy when travelling, connected to a hotel TV as a screen for instance. All in the name of avoiding carrying a full laptop. But for me, since Win32/x86 apps can't run on the phone (yet, maybe Atom based "Surface Phone" one day?) , most of the tools for my work are unavailable, so Continuum for phone is mostly "geek curiosity" value for me.
Yet another "law" that is completely unenforceable and unworkable being paraded in front of us for one reason only, the get gullible people who don't understand the tech in play to vote for someone.

SEI is a federal research facility, much like Livermore and others, operated under contract by CMU. It isn't "owned" by CMU.

I think you have a basic misunderstanding of the physics and mechanical systems involved. Sorry.
It was legislated and regulated that way, for whatever reason. There is no physical or technical barrier to GW scale reactors doing load following.
GW scale reactors most definitely CAN do that, if they were initially designed to do so. The ones we currently have in operation weren't. (I've operated both commercial BWRs and PWRs too, not only naval)

The failure is applying it FAR too broadly and in domestic surveillance which they are specifically prohibited by law from performing.
