Spam filtering on my email is working normally and I'm getting the normal amount of both false-negative (spam that gets through) and false-positive filtering (travel confirmations and bank notices that fall into my spam folder). Now it's the landline that has been spammed out to the extent that we leave it unplugged most of the time. And yes, this year most of it is political.
Nomorobo.com can save your landline, but it only works for certain carriers.
Being informed from the outside that your whole life is a lie is a crucial factor in determining what happens to the regime. Right now in Venezuela Maduro is following what he perceives as the winning endgame of Pol Pot in Cambodia: he is ordering the population to abandon the cities, flee into the countryside and grow food for themselves. Pol Pot's people obeyed and were slaughtered because in 1975 Cambodia the regime could effectively keep out knowledge of the outside world. But because Venezuelans have news and Internet, however spotty, they are not going to be so obedient and Maduro will fall without genocide.
"You're literally fucking retarded. You have absolutely no idea about the most basic aspects of how the world works. You have no idea what is going on with korea. You are RETARDED. You are an insane animal babbling nonsense to please its master, like an abused parrot."
What's it like posting to western discussion boards when your bridge is in North Korea? I'm guessing you have to snailmail a flash drive to an associate at Berkeley to post it.
Your country has no right to exist. Koreans have been one people since the beginning of history. Bit in 1945 it reached its lowest ebb, as an impoverished colony of imperial Japan. Right after Hiroshima the Soviet Union decided that Japan might be militarily vulnerable and declared war, gobbling up the easy targets of Manchuria and Korea. They set up the puppet regime in North Korea at that point. With the opening up of Cuba and the collapse of Venezuela, the DPRK hangs out there as the last outpost of a dead philosophy - and a living laboratory of what happens when you take any given culture leads if it arbitrarily is divided into two parts, one given freedom and the other part kept in slavery.
The best nonviolent way of breaking North Korea is to let the common people know how the other Koreans live. We could try smuggling in flash drives, since the DPRK uses them to distribute official TV programming. Efforts like this are underway, but a more effective means of getting them in are needed: https://www.theguardian.com/wo...
North Korea owes its very existence to keeping people in the dark about the outside world. As soon as that information gets through, it's Venezuela time.
"Or did you not somehow get that E=MC2 obviously has not been beaten and the immense distances that we cant reach with fesible technolgy in the next 1000 years?"
The infeasibility of interstellar travel absent wormholes or other unknown shortcuts has nothing to do with the existence of other species. It only affects our ability to find them.
" they went extinct because they were so very easy to kill... "
The passenger pigeon species had a fatal flaw: it could survive only in large colonies. Man had only to do a halfass job of wiping out large, visible bunches of them resting in trees, and once the hidden tipping point was reached, the pigeon colonies collapsed. Most endangered species can hang on in isolated small colonies until there is a chance to repopulate.
"... FTL is far more likely to be developed using AI rather than human intelligence..."
Or assuming there is no FTL, then AI will be needed for the small, long-endurance probes. If you think that the latency problem in operating Mars rovers is hard, what are latencies measured in years going to be like?

Bow before the recipient of the Anonymous Internet Keyboard Prize! Okay, now explain to us why Kepler was a chump, and how the orbit of Jupiter can be explained in epicycles.
Blame "us" why? You say to blame "us" like we could do something about it. What would you have "us" do other than read news articles and say how bad it is? There is literally nothing "the People" can do about this kind of injustice. American democracy is a sick joke.
Precisely why the overwhelming public perception right now is that the only fix to vote for an outsider candidate and blow it the hell up.
When you staggered out of the saloon wasted, your horse would get you home safely. Long before Siri and Tesla, a lot of intelligent navigation must have been done that way.
Ive found myself falling back to torrenting more and more in the last six months. Its funny because i have various streaming subscriptions and yet torrents are still the fastest and easiest way to watch the stuff i want.
Restricted licensing terms are steadily driving users to torrents. These are people who, once they have tasted the convenience of one source for eveything, will not be coming back.
And the only way such companies can enforce monopolies on generic products is to use the FDA regulatory jungle to restrict the market. There isn't even a legal basis for Mylan's patent on its own Epi-Pen, because it's a copy of prior art developed by the US Army for foolproof injection of a nerve gas antidote.
With my Olympus DSLR I shoot entirely in RAW, using 16G SD cards. Three of these held an entire recent cross-country hike.
Just running a quick calculation, a 1T card would hold just about every picture I have ever shot and kept. But other than as a tertiary backup there is no circumstance in which I would actually want to do that, even for a single trip.
The reason that medallion cabs disappear in a disaster - this is Econ 101 - is that their rates are fixed by franchise agreement. That makes it easier to flip up the "Out of Service" sign in a blizzard rather than keep giving rides at the fair weather rates. Surge pricing equalizes this situation, giving drivers more for the risk of driving in bad conditions and thus maintaining a level of service.
I don't listen to music on my iPhone, but I use a BT headset for driving. Are any of you butthurt Monster Cable audiophiles going to install a Sennheiser Orpheus in your car? Pictures please if you are.

Not so. Stalin declared war and invaded Manchuria and Korea on August 9, three days after Hiroshima and on the same day as Nagasaki.

Perhaps since it is a "small community" its not a city, but an unincorporated area
Betcha that Pinetop will shortly incorporate just so it can keep and operate its part of the network.
Yeah let's turn this into an LGBT issue, that'll make things more progressive.
You may actually be onto something here. If we can somehow define municipal broadband as an LGBT right, no court can stop it.

Hence my comment about tertiary backup. This format would be ideal.

how very libertarian of you to demand peoples' access to the courts be stripped.
If you're going to have any adjudicating body at all, we should have the right to demand that it observe scientific facts when it renders judgements.
Or we could do it the strict Randian way: protesters would take up arms against construction crews, who would then get to shoot back.
