Does this require that service providers retain that information, or does it just require that they turn it over if they have it? The law looks pretty broad, covering not only ISPs but any "remote computing service". Does that mean that anonymous services can no longer be offered? Does it require ISPs to retain logs of IP address assignments permanently?
If you, instead of being lazy, click through to the congress website and actually take the 5 minutes of your life it'll require to read the text, you'll see this is purely updates to the existing act. This is literally just editing the original bill so that wording encompasses modern/digital services.
I looked for any riders or other amendments, can't seem to find anything nefarious, but it was mostly a quick and dirty look to get the gist.
This is not people "waking up". That might have applied during the hanging chad fiasco of the W/Gore election, but this is way beyond that.
What has actually happened is there's a demographic shift in the majority of the voting public. This is the last election where the Baby Boomers will hold any major sway in the election and it frightens the heck out of the establishment because they're about to lose control. The largest voting bloc going forward is going to be digital natives and early adoption digital immigrants.
These are people who didn't have limited resources that they could scour endlessly for rote memorization. Instead they have vast information access at their fingertips and have to filter through to find the truth. It's gone from "knowing a few things about something" to "being able to find anything". While those kids may come across as lazy and tuned out, they have the ability to run circles around the establishment for researching what's really going on. The speed at which information travels is still too much for the major political parties to fathom. They can't rely on smoke, mirrors and a complicit mass media anymore. They either have to change or get pushed out.
Sticking to the "Oh they're finally waking up?" narrative is just trying to frame it in the establishments favor. They aren't waking up, they woke up years ago, now they're pissed off because the party is overtly (Thanks for the admission, Wasserman-Schultz) screwing them over and they can actively see it. How many states had major issues during caucus events that led to voters feeling like they were intentionally hindered? How many now have lawsuits or were threatened with lawsuits based on this?
Kings only stay kings as long as the masses let them.
The only reason I upgrade phones is because my wife keeps letting the kids break hers. She gets my hand me down, I get the flagship.
I'm starting to think we've hit a point of peak device hype and maybe consumerism is slowing down. This should frighten the crap out of corporations since the only thing that could be leading to this is the possibility that the largest shopping generation (Y/millenials) are actually savvy about learning via the internet and realize they've been duped into spending everything to make the old cronies more wealthy.
The screens on everything concept winds up looking dated? Honestly I can't tell if that's supposed to be a future car from now or the 80's. The back seat looks painfully uncomfortable.
While the guy is very personable and obviously well educated he just seems a lot like a glory hound. It seems that as soon as he starts fading from the public limelight he always gets a little bit more crazy with his ideas to try and create sensationalism.
I'm starting to think he's really trying to cope with his own mortality and doing whatever he can to be more firmly etched in the history books.
Really? I mean, are you guys so fucking retarded that you're not able to setup your own.deb repositories? Fuck, you can even use Launchpad's PPAs!
How exactly do you equate not wanting to have to jump through hoops to do something to someone being retarded? Just because it's easy to type in a few extra commands to get what you want doesn't mean you should have to do it. Not everyone longs for the days of yore where you had to do 6 hours of preconfiguration to have a viable desktop linux system. This is one of the reasons I like Android over IOS, I can do a number of things with less taps. Or if I'm feeling especially lazy I can tell the google app to do it for me and voila, no taps.
I welcome this development. Anything to make it easier to be productive/use is a step in the right direction.
The single person running the Liberty Maniacs website has an update on the DMCA linked/blog page (not the product page), not on the product page, detailing that this was sent by the Sanders Campaign lawyer without consulting the Sanders campaign. As is typical in this scenario, it's an overzealous lawyer and an overzealous "my free speech is being trampled on, authoritarians! Buy more to stick it to the man!" Never mind that he's obviously using the opportunity to generate eyeballs for his site and burying as far down(blog page, halfway down in the posting as an *update) as he can the fact that it isn't the campaign, but their lawyer doing this.
As always the truth lies somewhere in the middle. My guess is that the campaign lawyer is just following the normal course of action as he sees to protect his client. I wouldn't be surprised to see this silently go away as a small misunderstanding since, if Bernie really understands the youth the way he claims, this wouldn't bother him.
my macs typically get between 8-10 years of use. Much more than the 3-5 years of use I get from my PC's.
The decade old PC I'm writing this reply on disagrees with your PC lifecycle claim. Granted being a Mac owner you probably rely on pre-configured hardware. I build my PC's so I have finer control over hardware selection.
Personally I'm all for this since none of them are entertainers I support. The entertainers I support don't really give a damn about a few more million since they care about the fans. I'm inclined to think a large majority of the internet population feels the same way. Particularly if it comes to light that these entertainers are on the brink of bankruptcy and this is the motivation.
Sure the labels and their employed entertainers will see a small bump in net sum, but my guess is a large majority of the fans this affects will vocally oppose their entertainer of choice and it'll create a stink fest for them.
Either way I don't care, greed is the way of life now, let them have it at their own peril.
If you're surprised that BART is lacking something remotely logical and/or basically requisite you don't understand BART or the non-Tech Industry side of the Bay Area.
BART only funds repairs, no technical improvements what-so-ever. The most recent redesigns are ways to fit more standing people in each car since it raises rider count. In fact, the only technological changes I can think of having happened to BART in the 25 years I lived in the Bay Area was the upgrade to the Clipper Card system.
Bathrooms in stations? All the underground ones, particularly in SF are closed permanently. Above ground stations outside of SF, if it's in service it might be open. It will be one of the most awful public bathrooms you've been in. I honestly have found nicer solar and pit toilets in the California back country than I've ever found in a BART station unless the station was a new expansion station.
Anyone with half a brain can see that zero money has gone into BARTs technical budget in a long time. From my passenger perspective, it's been at least a quarter century.
Considering the iPhone hardware sales gravy train has left the station and iPhone sales are predicted to start declining, Apple has to find a new revenue stream.
See http://www.bloomberg.com/news/...
Apple is trying to make itself into a services company. The modern thinking on services company is the subscription model, therefore Apple is trying to nudge people into buying Apple Care. Think about it, even on old number of 650 million phones worldwide, if only 20% of them buy in that's still a hefty $6Bn per year of guaranteed revenue.
Playing it as security is a way to deflect the actual purpose.
This has absolutely nothing to do with making a job environment more competitive for kids in the future. This is designed to increase tech labor supply so that wages can be kept down since it'll be a hiring managers market. There's obviously big money behind this, so thinking this is for the benefit of anyone other than the already wealthy - who cling tight to the belief that they stand to lose more profitability from higher wages - is just lying to yourself.
Saying that computer science is as important as reading, writing and arithmetic is ludicrous and an appeal to ignorance. It's hard to live if you can't read or write, it's pretty darn easy to live without knowing computer science. Did you see the article about Ford paying it's UAW workers a $9,300 bonus this year? How many of them do you think know computer science? Ford only made a $7bn profit, yet they can afford to pay out about half of that as profit sharing to employees? That makes just about every other company look like cheapskates in the process.
This seems like it's people getting their panties in a bunch just to get their panties in a bunch.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for individual privacy and keeping the government/corporations in check, but this is the modern day. Everything you do in any digital format is about tracking you to make more dollars off you. This is the modern price for cheap software, before it was you get crap quality for discount items, now it's that you get (falsely believed) more efficient marketing.
If you're really between that rock and a hard place of needing Windows for Gaming or Audio Production[vst] (about the only two things I can think of where it's better supported) then I have a solution for you. Dual boot your system using Windows only for the requisite items. I'm not even on a SSD and my dual boot Windows 7/Fedora 23 system is painless to dual boot. Granted I spend 99.99999% of my time in Fedora, but on the rare occasion that I need something only Windows can provide, I can be there within a matter of a minute. Log in, do required work, log out.
Yes I'm angry that I have to reboot, yes I wish I didn't have to, but it's really a small price to pay for piece of mind. Not to mention, if M$ is doing this extremely granular task-based tracking it's a great way to highlight that there are people willing to avoid their intrusive marketing at all costs. Maybe do a Bing search ever time you log into windows of "Why does M$ suck cock so hard?" to make your point.
Go read about how well the Saudi's, and that silly little thing called OPEC, are doing at the current price of oil.They're
shopping the shit out of it and still can't make a profit. Saudi Arabia the country is already screwed. They are now
operating at a huge loss and hemorrhaging money so fast that they will go bankrupt in 5 years without economic reform
They engineered the oil price drop. They gambled on breaking the U.S. fracking industry and lost as efficiency increased
fast enough, in concert with, lowered demand to out pace Saudi Arabia's production efficiency. S.A. planned on us banning
fracking, we didn't.
They also planned on China needing more oil than China does due to a slowdown in China.
Saudi Arabia has too much to handle at home to pick a dog in this fight. The hause of Saud is crumbling, there will not be a lot
more money to throw at things like political ideaology unless quite a few people stop being able to afford private jets, million dollar
sports cars, and estates in Monaco with each of the aforementioned on hand at all times plus a complete wardrobe equal to the
regality and status of the selection at home. Not to mention it's a lot more difficult to maintain and operate that U.S. sourced
military air power.
American "gun control" laws are the equivalent of dumping a coffee cup on a forest fire. An actual gun control law is what was passed in Australia, which worked pretty much as intended. Which even suggesting in the US would probably cause another civil war. And there is a huge part of the problem.
Apparently you're forgetting that the government enforced collection of something people are just as fanatical about before... Executive order 1602 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
So it bothers you that people are afraid and educating themselves about protection via concealed carry firearms? It sounds like you're afraid of something you don't know a whole lot about yourself, just like those signed up for the classes. Did you ask him if they were trained on operation and threat assessment/reaction versus just the laws/regulations? How much did you learn about their training program? Did you ask if they were training on handling/behavior as well?
Don't get me wrong, it is concerning that this is the reaction, but really, how can you fault the populace when nothing is being done at the government level. Yes the citizens are at fault for not motivating the government to do anything, but the government is too busy trying to continue the hard job of ensuring future campaign contributions to actually legislate against anyone other than the voting populace that this is truly the only action many people will feel they can take to protect themselves.
Add to that the fact that the news media blows this up and has conditioned people to do so as well (I had three different FB posts on my feed within minutes of the news getting out, then it was all over it) and you have a negative reinforcement feedback loop in the US media/social fabric. In school mass shootings the kids are looking to have their name in lights, on TV, and be remembered. That's why they leave manifestos that wind up being published and broadcast. We don't realize we're reinforcing their actions because we don't understand it, but it's mob mentality. We're fighting the result, not the cause.
The problem is the MSM is trying to fuel fear for a political agenda, it's backfiring in this case. Instead of the sheeple cowering and accepting further civil liberty intrusions they are deciding the government can't protect them and they have to protect themselves. So naturally they go with the one protection the government has allowed for them to use which they feel will allow them to react if they find themselves in this situation, the 2nd amendment.
Making knee-jerk reactions and statements before the facts are in is ignorant. We need to know everything and assess the why before we can implement a solution or even have an opinion on it. Sadly, in this age of instant gratification most people don't have the wherewithal to do that, we want inaccurate behavioral analysts to find our boogeyman instantly and just stamp it out. The multi-pronged, society based solution is what's needed, but not what people seem to want.
