Should some one convicted of violently assaulting another person should be allowed intimate knowledge of where potentially vulnerable individuals might live and what the details are of their comings and goings?
While I am not surprised that clearly- unbiased source, "reason.com" calls this an example of runaway nanny-state regulation, the fact remains that millions use the sidewalks of NYC every single day, and those people have the right to safety.
It appears that these motorized electric scooters - which I've personally only recently become aware of, and until reading this article had no idea they were becoming so popular, essentially fall under a broad "motorized transport" classification.
I guess that it is easy to paint a picture of "big government wants its pound of flesh" surrounding their registration. However, the interpretation I take is that any tom, dick, or harry can't just go driving a motor-propelled vehicle on the streets and sidewalks of NYC. In fact, the whole topic of this thread is that 15,000 of these things are siezed in the UK for being unsafe. Are the scooters being sold on the streets of NYC coming from a different chinese factory? Is there any less of a problem of bootleg, unsafe goods?
I'm sorry, but I'f I'm walking down the streets of brooklyn or wherever, I don't want someone slamming into me on their unsafe, unregulated, apparently-on-flames motorized fad-scooter.
But you're right, government only exists to regulate, regulate, regulate. It's all just rules and red tape, isn't it?
You mean it wasn't clear when the game explicitly instructs you when you get the power armor that you can jump/fall without taking damage? I'm not saying the game doesn't have flaws, but they _specifically_ said this.
So, what, I guess this is stingrays on drones overhead? Collect IMEI numbers of every person there, drop them in their little database of "umamerican agitators"?
I mean, that's always what it is, right?
"Drugs" is that magical code word for "the dangerous evil of non-conformity of decent hard-working American values, like having no problem with g-men goons watching every move you make? Fuck the FBI and its gang of morally-bankrupt thugs.
Just making sure I understand you here - you're a businessman, and one of the services you provide is to assist your customers in violating their software licensing agreements because "it was a long time ago", or "they just don't want to upgrade". I mean, because from what you've just described, you're not even talking about a 1:1 physical-to-virtual, but rather, multiple virtual copies of one physical license.
Gotta tell you - you sound like a real classy professional.
I 110% percent agree with you. However, what I am honestly on the fence about - if a user is already "stuck" on 8.1, does it make sense to just go ahead and update?
..and just like Nvidia, still using.28nm process for the GPU, same as it has been since ~2010-2011... by "technology standards", this is and incredibly long period of time. I totally understand the issues with supply from TSMC, Samsung, etc, and that the products of "latest-and-greatest" in chip fabrication are supplying the smart phone and tablet industry as fast as they can.... But my point is that these days, every time I see either AMD or Nvidia releasing yet another hot and power-hungry rehash, I sadly shake my head. Gigs and gigs of RAM are great - so is 1440p and 60 fps, but I want lower-power consumption and I want less heat. I don't want increasingly complicated cooling solutions.
Given the challenges Intel faced with yields at 14nm.... and indication they face the same challenges with 10nm, evidenced by the push back to 2017 for the technology - I'm pretty goddamned skeptical that IBM has "beat" anyone to anything. Could I go to an Intel laboratory today and see a proof-of-concept 7nm chip? 5nm? Probably using all manner of interesting silicon replacements? I bet that I could.
No, as you can see from the market today, this is merely an attempt by IBM to resurrect their flagging stock prices (which has worked).
Ridiculous. Dude, just stick to your manginot line. The next war major war is robots, lasers, and smarter missiles than we have today. The fact that you believe that some future war with Russia and China looks like a WWII dogfight is fucking childish.
What fucking planet do these military industrial parasites and hawks live on where they believe that the next War of Any Size will involve dogfighting? Fucking unbelievable the complete and total disconnect from reality.
I'm not so sure. I agree there'll be initial resistance as there is to all major societal change. But, particularly in Europe's densely packed major cities, that tiny prototype 2-seater concept (probably Google's?) without any steering controls or unneccesary "fluff" starts to make a lot of sense when you think about the challenges currently faced with regards to traffic control. Fast, tiny, space efficient, zero-emisions. Seems unlikely for it to not be a competitive space, as well.
I'm all for protecting folks' jobs and I'm solidly on the side of labor in most things. But a minister ordering police to begin seizing cars without any kind of due process is beyond the pale.
I'm also inclined to wonder how France plans to handle self-driving cars which will 100% definitely be replacing cab drivers in the next 10-15 years.
The profesion of taxi driving and trucking is _over_. It is just a matter of time.
I hope I don't sound ignorant here, but if I am doing the math correctly, this is "only" 100 gigs/sec over fiber. I thought this milestone had long since been passed by the industry?
I feel like you have to be trolling. But in case you're not, Windows 7 is vastly, vastly easier to manage as a fleet than Windows XP. Improvements to group policy alone make it a "killer app". But, the important stuff like roaming profiles, document redirection, etc etc etc. There is no comparison. I suppose I could see how it might be a minor inconvenience to add a domain prefix to your user account. And I suppose if you were an inexperienced systems admin who didn't understand how to optimize network access and configure your LAN properly, yes there are some obstacles.
Oh, so now in the sentencing phase we're going to be punishing you for crimes that the state couldn't charge you with, presumably due to being unable to prove in a court of law? Nice. Also, not surprising.
But, we all knew exactly what the Wall Street Journal would become once Rupert got his greasy little hands on it 10 years ago. Just another tabloid rag.
He's 71 years old, and has worked on the show for 25 years. I'm sure he has more money than he can spend, and maybe he just wants to do something a little different with the remainder of his life and career. Hasn't there been enough Simpsons?.

And how are things operating there on the PC of Theseus?

Yaaaaayyyyy small-government conservatism!!!

Digging a bit deeper into the question of their legality, we find this article from the NY Daile News

You don't sound familiar with how the legislative process works in the United States.

He's a football coach who went and got himself a masters of education from an A&M-system night school. Need I say more?

What and excellent and insightful response! Thank you so much for your deep and thoughtful opinion.
Do you know how I know that you don't know anything about France?

I hate to shamelessly plug, but Harry Shearer was recently on WTF with Marc Maron - I think it gives a lot of insight into the guy and his career and all that good stuff..
It's "drivel". Not "dribble". It has never been "dribble".
