Compared to all the other bs out there, it was fine. The error was in not extending these fundamental rights to everyone, not in the basic concepts of those rights themselves, which still exceed those around the world. Witness European nations outlawing blasphemy and other free speech issues that would be laughed out of court here.
I'll take this over any other concept of government, thanks.
Well, a blackbox proof is useful -- a doubter can submit something that generates an error.
If I were him, I'd strike a deal with Google.for all the formulae they've come across.
For that matter, there are other math engines, and probably an alternate development one in-house, and you can test them against each other with random inputs until you find a discrepancy.
I've done that myself with algorithms several times -- the "real" one against another, less-efficient and different one.
They debug each other. It's my experience code inspection is a useful but inferior tool to this approach (for non-malicious discrepancies.)
That's the purpose of copyright extending X years past death -- so the holder can negotiate deals with others, who can feel safe in investing in publication or other use, without fear a careening bus can take it all away tomorrow.
It would be meaningless if just the ownership right survived and not the contracts based on it.
You live in a fantasy world where those bad things are happening.
Meanwhile, in the real, actually-measured world, things are continuing to get better decade by decade.
If the west has come close to stagnating for a bit, it's because places like China are opening up and becoming more economically free. In short, the average health and wealth of economically free people continues to increase, exactly according to Julian Simon's simple, and not really controversial in the details, model.
"Omg, when we got to Mars, there were these freaky ugly guys with odd tricolore eyes. But they have suction cups on very long fingers and slime-covered bodies and god dammit is sex with them hot!"
Some people are saying good, even more competition. Government running competition out of town on a rail to hand it over to itself and its crony taxis is not freaking competing! It's old-school corruption.
"The twins, about 36 to 40 weeks old, probably suffocated during their mother's troubled labor nearly 8,000 years ago."
But that's thousands of years before the earliest possible date for Adam amd Eve getting kicked from the Garden of Eden, with God's mandate that in pain shall ye labor.
No, no, no! Something about this just doesn't add up!
We're supposed to live in a free country, with a government with greatly restricted powers. Then, surveillance, crony capitalism, kickbacks to regulate your competition out of business, all that can't happen, and then who wins isn't some plum of godhood of control. That you panic over the possibility of "King Bush III" shows just how far down that unintended shithole of governance, away from freedom we have slid over the decades.
You are right, regardless of political side, to be terrified of who may win. This is the shitty country with unrestricted government you, and your past few generation of ancestors, have built.
Ahhh, the ongoing march of hard endpoint outcomes analysis daggers another belief.
Niacin, various vitamins absent particular diagnosed deficiencies, multivitamins, guess what? Chicken butt. No difference in long term outcomes.
My only concern is certain possibly beneficial heart drugs were abandoned in phase iii stidies because they slightly increased death rates. There could be benefit there for subpopulations if the deaths cluster about some physiology type, which maybe could be pre-tested for, or monitored closely.
I don't see how this could be legal -- a video stream would be copyrighted, and inserting extra ads (to say nothing of overwriting some) could indeed be violating a copyright on the assembled data stream as a work.
So, too, altering a web page to add ads not actually there. This is different from a browser with a reserved area outside the site frame, for ads, or a preview page serving an ad before showing you the site.
There's clearly a market for tractors and equipment, no matter how modern and complex, to be easily and cheaply field-repairable by farmers, and most especially, quickly.

We already have a digital currency. It's called "dollars". You can convert it to physical chits easily, but rarely do you need to.
Will you be able to buy and sell anonymously as with cash, or will this become another eyeball in the already far too massive panopticon?

How sad the default state, in some peoples' minds, for exploration is to get on bended knee to government.
"Omg, when we got to Mars, there were these freaky ugly guys with odd tricolore eyes. But they have suction cups on very long fingers and slime-covered bodies and god dammit is sex with them hot!"
Don't get me started.
Then why ban them? And then clone them?

It's why politicians seek office.

Reporting a phone stolen when you actually sold it should be a felony on the same level as stealing the phone to begin with.
Malicious kill switch activation is only a problem if Apple charges you $100 to "repair" it.

Do not teach your grammar how to suck eggs.
Believe it.
You should see what this cable does for porn!
You'd be surprised what a free people will do once oppressive government is removed from their backs.
I went to Jamaica in 2001, and all those poor, poor Jamaicans running the tourist nick nack stalls had cell phones.
A free people will bust ass to acquire the good stuff. How patronizing are many posts in this thread, suggesting this is a bad thing.
What it really suggests is an overbearing government is bad for many reasons, and that there's a hell of a lot more to freedom than freedom of speech.
"Windows 8 suxxxxxxs, what to do?"
"Windows 8.1 as a stopgap. And rush Windows 9 into production."
"No, we need to give the perception of totally abandoning 8. Skip 9 and call it 10."
"Might not be far enough. How about 360 like X-Box? Release in 2016."
"Nah sounds like a toy. How about Windows 365 -- The everyday computer for the everyman?"
"Everyperson."
"Ok, do it."
2016 rolls around. $2 billion in ads come out.
"Microsoft proudly introduces Windows 365! The everyday computer for the everyperson!"
"Oh my god."
"What?"
"2016 is a leap year."

I wonder if it will happen.
