>Why didn't Congress consult with the people their bill would most directly affect?
Because that wasn't the objective.
Who cares what this bill does, it looks like I'm Doing Something About It to constituents and benefactors. People LOVE asking "so what is X doing about Y". So much it's disturbing.
Bartender! Zero-tols for everyone, on me! I stopped crime or something!
We don't sell that data. What we do is we use that data to market film.
YOU'RE THE ONE IT WOULD BE SOLD TO.
Does that line really pacify people? Do you actually feel better every time they say that? "We don't outright sell the data [to competitors]"? All this does is skip a middleman.
It's like a bedframe factory saying "We don't sell these oak trees to other factories." whoopdeedoo, besides helping your rival it'd be an inefficient supply line.

Am I missing something? How much will I get paid for spending 30 seconds putting those in a row? Aren't there people on the youtubes that do this? Better than me, I'm sure.
But not as sure as I currently am about some vague misnamed feature possibly involving some kind of, er, subscription? Is this like, a podcast thing? I imagine it involves exploiting people who need to be told what to listen to.

Even if you managed to keep possession of 1.0 jobs, which is great for you, some of us aren't myopic self-centered twats and can think farther than our immediate field of vision.

Or was that tongue-in-cheek? A serious conversation about how Our Betters will arms their compounds is perfectly appropriate here. If you score the contract for their tazerbots your grandkids won't even have to live in terrafoam.
They prefer verified, but they're more than happy to casually bridge causality. Even to establish "verified". Courts may admit than IP != identity (usually...) but the bigdata team (who need to have some material to present at the quarterly review or whateverthefuck) doesn't care.
I think the real preference is moving up the skill curve. Cookies are pretty user-controlled, browsers/mods/etc are happily handing over tools. Other fingerprints are beyond the reach of surface dwellers and casuals. Even the user agent is considered gospel compared to fragile, paper-in-a-bottle cookies.
Unless you're more clever than the average surface dweller bear and can handle yourself on the internets. Please accept this IOU mod written on a donut-smudged napkin.

Onus on local ISPs is at least vaguely plausible, assuming a magic demon sits on ye Series Of Tubes and does what judges have failed to do (criteria of porn) for centuries. Perhaps the burden is on lewd content to identify itself (binarily, despite an obvious spectrum).
Whatever, putting a price tag on it will only further encourage the surface dwellers to support the VPN industry. By all means, please, feed that beast. You only make it harder to resist later, when lobbyists (eg MAFIAA) are stomping their feet for legislation to "do something about it".
iirc red pill was for tracking your 3D meat body, perhaps like a radioisotope tracer but with brainwaves, then they can locate your connection/battery pod.
Blue probably knocks you out, which might prevent the effort of the wake-up hack, not unlike your remote machine going to sleep. Or maybe they can unplug you anyway. It might also be a short-term memory wipe, for whatever grade of hollywood amnesia dust.
It might be a question of time-until-effect, or effect duration. Or maybe the question wasn't serious to begin with and I wasted keystrokes while waiting for quitting time.
Employers only hire for the sake of more money in than out. A hire happens because it's gainful over not.
These are hard facts, our lord and savior The Bottom Line isn't subject to navel-gazing. "People work for the sake of work" wasn't far from the truth.
An employee only exists when s/he has something to sell upwards. And young Billy, the healthy 18yo hoping to pay for the absurdly gouged education rates of 2150, aware he will need a hyperspecialized skill to make it in 2150, will have nothing to sell.
I may be 30 but I should be probably knitting blankets for my grandkids. Y'know, to use in their terrafoam bunks.
We have the force ready if we need it, but the massive amount of logging and databases and info feeds will allow much more surgical work.
By the time you mutter about anything resembling a physical act to a possible ally, you've already had a yellow note on your name for "Potential Domestic Radical"
There won't be anyone joining your insistent chants of "viva la revolution" like in the old movies. Because you won't get the whole sentence out of your mouth.
Make this an "undamaging part of the software" you provide to someone who isn't a commoner (banks, pharma, The Mouse, etc) and see how long it takes before a judge says your shit "accessed stuff".
That's pretty much all it takes to weaponize the CFAA, if you can afford it.
Whether or not someone pays (your backpedaling at the end) for a Licensed Measuring Stick Operator doesn't change the height.
If your server is openly and unreservedly serving any files, by your design, then you don't get to bitch about the files doing exactly what you configured.
What's that? Making your website anything but openly-and-unreservedly might cost you viewers?

Marijuanna seeds should be soaked in warm (72-80F) water 1-2 days. They will initially float, but ought to sink after the soak. Choose healthy seeds that are green and meaty; immature seeds will have a smaller, white appearance.
Prepare soil with one cup hydrated lime per square yard, and some water-soluble nitrogen fertilizer. Ideal soil will cake when squeezed, but break when prodded, and absorbs water well.
Plant ~6 inches deep, pointy end up. Sprouts will be visible in ~5 days blah blah blah
This is too slow, let's just have Dice facilitate how-to-homocide: Pointy end goes in the other guy.
There's some game theory or another going on, tragedy of the common prisoner's whatever. They don't give a flying fuck about what it does to the big picture, about any effects outside Ye Bottom Line, not after centuries of "I've got mine" being rule number one.
No one actually cares about the consumer (looking at you, apple fanboy) as anything more than an obstacle to pacify. Normally the distinction isn't too important, eg entertainers will work hard to make their entertainment entertaining "for us". But in this case it causes a blind spot, it means your evening isn't a consideration, it means no concern for what it could hypothetically look like, they're boxed to only methods of exploitation gouging walled gardens harvesting/spamming bigdataz, ie things they directly control.
The masses rushed to Ye Netflix for the aggregation. And you could probably squeeze them for top dollar, because they love having The Best, to treat the scenario as a solved problem. But now the aggregation doesn't exist and probably never will.
Don't believe me? This slashdot is full of people settling for the closest thing to said The Best. "Wellp, netflix/amazon/hulu it is." as a proxy for "I just subscribe to the 99%-of-all-content GodService and that's that."
A master service is appealing for reasons beyond the content. It's behind many iphone purchases. Who wants to deal with research and comparisons? Who wants to understand specs and OS variants? They see the iphone as a "safe" purchase. They know it costs more than it needs to, but they can be confident it checks all the boxes, it dodges the potential bullets. They consider it a fully solved concern, and by God I can understand the appeal of that term.

Correct, 0.2 jobs were lost.

I just don't buy that claim.
Our education systems needs to be thoughtfully designed so they don't undermine our ability to keep pace with international wizarding schools.
And I'm going to put man hours behind my opinion. Tax dollars. Legislation.

My understanding is the garbage started at v2.3 and that v2.2.1 is what you wanna stop at.
And someone down below said it's fine. Predates the "feature" indeed.

I assume the message is to make your own determinations from aggregate data, to not simply parrot like a mental human centipede.
Ironically, a Retweet does exactly that.
Cheaper to keep a better margin than your competitor, make him swallow the costs of jumping in first, ride his slipstream.
They'll change when the numbers say to. At the most optimal moment.

No, but his nanna would give him an earful for having wasted a perfectly good pimpable employee.
The idea came from the same place - young Musky wished he could send his broccoli into the sun without her noticing.
Good news, everyone! Automation will solve this. Not by doing the maid work directly, but by pigeoning the remaining humans into it.
Granted, this will only apply if you're one of the godhumans in the three remaining ultracorporations.
