The US does have laws banning certain overseas behaviors, like bribing local officials. But I don't think there's anything about obeying local laws, or censorship laws specifically.
If that were the case, that's a job for the president and Congress in their respective roles for foreign policy.
Another reason it may not apply in this case is the first amendment -- you retain the right to not say something as well as say it. Now, bizarrely, a foreign state censoring you isn't you deciding not to say it, but the US can't force you to say it, either. (This is different from truth in advertising laws.)
I recall way back when at U-Mich talking to a fellow near-savant (for lack of a better term, full of ourselves). We were discussing intelligence and he was convinced it was almost entirely genetics. I wasn't so sure.
But I did note the seductive desire to see it as ingrained rather than achieved through effort, a romantic story notion. Which is bizarre if you think about it -- you feel better about your brainpower because you inherited it than because you worked for it.
Then we went and I DM'd Keep on the Borderlands for him and his Asian buddy, using a giant 1" square roll of plastic marker-wipe roll my dad swiped from layout at his plant. The entire cave system fit on it so we could use figurines on it. Oh the life of the privileged!
So let me get this straight -- increasing chicks in a business dominated by shy nerdvirgins is supposed to increase their skill and output because diversity?
The only way I even know the name is because George Bailey saved the pharmacist from poisoning a kid with it in "It's a Wonderful Life." And the last recorded case of it in Europe was decades ago. So did it go hide out for a while in Africa or something?
George: Tell that poster to eff off.
Clarence: But that poster never posted! You weren't there to stop Mr. Gower and that kid died, and nobody ever made a movie because you weren't there to be a subject, so the poster never saw it and had nothing clever to say!
It isn't religious exemptions, but the parallel "gosh I duwanna I duwanna" exemption.
The religious exemption is cognizant of the First Amendment; the latter of foolish and scared politicians who don't want Jenny (or Rob as the case may be) lambasting them as elections approach.
Yes, FBI and NSA, you only use it for good, as opposed to Putin, who uses it for evil. The goodness in your heart will prevent your panopticon from being misused to fall into dictatorship, even though nothing in human history gives you confidence in that theory, and the Founding Fathers, who barely freed themselves from a much less intrusive entity, took great care to prevent government from doing what you are doing now, because they knew the flaw in allowing government any power like that was indeed the purity of your heart and your promise not to abuse.
Companies like CNN already mine your health status by studying what types of links you click on regularly -- news stories about new heart drugs, or cancer, or this helps with urinary tract infections or dialysis patients.
Doesn't even matter you are just an IP address -- they're selling ads to companies to direct at "someone".
Yeah, I need a GPO to block this from Win7 computers where users are local Admins. Yeah yeah, they shouldn't be, but some apps they use require elevated privilege.
Most users who need to be admins are software engineers who are the least likely to update the OS. They need admin rights to install and sometimes run dev tool esoterica, the kind of tools that are the first to break in a new OS.
This neglects high liability areas like embedded medical or vehicles or military, where tools must be re-qualified on each new major OS release.
I wonder if it can affect stress. There is some evidence gut bacteria feed stress-inducing whatever back up to the brain via this nerve, and that stress promotes abdominal (inside it) belly fat deposition, as opposed to more distributed body fat deposition, which in turn releases chemicals which cause insulin resistance, which is the main cause of Type II diabetes.
I am bothered by technical capabilities being copyrighted instead of patented, and thus never expiring. Apple's Macintosh "look and feel", anyone? Most of that isn't a particular style of horizontal line thru a window bar at the top, something that might be a legitimate copyrightable thing.
I understand what you are saying, but the public are not the rightful owners, either. After the patent or copyright expires, nobody is, and hence anyone is free to use it.
This is a philosophical difference, and I refuse to participate in some The Glory Of The People rhetoric. You don't get to own something simply by pure numbers.
Whitebox testing would point to exercising an ellipsis if treated specially. But good old blackbox billions of random strings should stumble across an ellipsis surrounded by non-Latin script characters, and fairly quickly.
For complicated c9mbos, perhaps. But random string generators should relatively quickly stumble across an elipsis in the middle of Latin or Arabic characters.
I wouldn't a priori suspect a string display routine to have a problem, but the guy who wrote it to do some gymnastics switching character sets should, and should have run such a test in a debugger ready to trap bad memory accesses.

There had to be more to it than just producing a tiny keyboard.
Thank you.
Netflix, just tell us how much god damned money to pay to not have any fucking ads.

Sounds like a computer terminal, invented in the 1950s.
Both are running scare -- little political downside to approving it, massive political downside if an attack happens and it isn't wasn't passed.
Makes no matter if it would have helped or not, those looking to knock out incumbents will scream the incumbent should have done more.
We may predict this will happen now when, not if, the next attack occurs.
So another computer guy is getting fat on chips?
When I was a kid, 250k was considered a "millionaire". These were the Dr. Evil "One...million...dollars" / Six Million Dollar Man days.
My how things have changed. I need to move to a place with rent control, apparently.

And article authors and site editors follow that religiously.
I was at +50 back when they showed karma, then got body slammed to -20. Never did find out why. I just dug back out of it.
Thanks. Also, it is rational to do a run-around of dictators and their laws.

Looks like taxing the shit out of yourselves is the way to go!
No, I am Poor-ticus!
