Capitalism will fall out naturally from freedom. You would have to actively stop it...if that's what you wanted to do for some reason, in spite of its unparalleled success in raising wealth and health for the general population.
We're assholes for trying to crush our economy currently. It's like people in 1900 crushing their economy, slowing technological advancement to "help" us here in 2013.
In 50-100 years, maybe less, we will be able to (for one example among a dozen) be able to create giant sheets in space similar to space sails already being proposed, tested, and actually used, and just block some sun. A few percent should be more than enough (1% of the sun's energy is less than 3 degrees of temperature). The worst issue will being careful not to artificially induce an ice age.
But don't worry about it for now. Literally no need to.
Oh, we're trying to do it all here -- income taxes, sales taxes, high corporate taxes, capital gains taxes. And every few years they toy with a VAT to replace most, but not all, of that (in this way, they can slowly start jacking the other rates back up again.)
I have an elderly relative who fell for one of those scams, but she's feisty and, being retired, had nothing better to do than sit on the phone over multiple calls to cancel the order and get her money back.
But it is a scam, just like banks charging you overdraft fees is core to their business model rather than a true penalty because it costs them money, and credit card companies hoping, yes hoping, you get into financial trouble so they can jack up the rates and get you permanently stuck barely making monthly minimum payments of high rates.
When the business model is centered around profits from these things, they are not what these scammers claim them to be.
We understand the importance of what you say. However, there are insufficient safeguards on this process. This is 12 years later, and "we can't wait to do it right" no longer flies.
There must be oversight, uncorruptible logging, and warning bells for taps that don't have an associated warrant.
Would a Putin misuse this to spy on opponents? Yes. Why? Because there is no real tracking going on.
People still live from when the last time large tracts of Europe lived in dictatorship. If we don't want freedom to be a brief interstice between millennia of dictatorship, we have to stop this.
Which, ironically, is probably why they didn't bother upgrading the spy plane until now. Countries that could shoot it down could shoot it and any successors down, and those that couldn't couldn't.
The idea of a new plane to fill the gap, not from earlier planes, but from satellites being shot down, or just not being in the correct spot when you need extremely fresh data, is interesting.
Nope. It's perfectly posted on Halloween. I read this just as Jamie Lee was stabbing Michael Meyers with a hanger pokie, but this story had already raised about 80% of the hair on the back of my neck.
He's clarifying what the OP seems to suggest -- that infection might be happening thru the speaker. A detailed read shows they think this is rootkits using USB for the initial infection, then burrowing into various hardware such that reflashing the bios, replacing the HD, and reloading windows off a known CD isn't enough -- the stuff burrowed into PCI or other hardware re-infects the BIOS. The exact role in the speaker ultrasonic data is not yet known, but it also sounds like he's suggesting some communication aiding in the re-takeover of the airgapped machine.
Perhaps the little stub in the PCI controller or whatever doesn't have enough room to store infectors for everything else, so downloads it via audio from another machine.
Well, you go to a site to download something that isn't an executable, and there are all these fraud links that, when clicked, start an auto download of a.exe or similar. Now you're two layers of defense defeated. You must carefully delete it without clicking on it. You have one more layer, "This is an executable, are you sure you want to run it?"
I'm fine with a block of this mechanism. Oh you can be careful, but grampa? Kids? You with a clumsy finger on that 3rd and last layer?
Are you a country, or are you a federation of states? If you are a country, then get your taxes sorted out. Your states seem to be willing to deprive another state of $100 in order to get $10 themselves, that way has just led to a crisis in state finances.
Some of us view this competition-of-laws, with people voting with their feet, as a good thing.
I live in terror of any self-righteous group gaining control of everything, for ever, or at least large chunks of my life.
It isn't good, as history shows, and of course, you are fine with it.because your meme group is the one in charge...just as religions were hundreds of years ago, and still are in many places today.
You do not promote freedom. You promote your meme-control group where your memeplex governs your behavior so it can gain legal power to spread, including legally forcing itself on others.
Heard on NPR more whining about the medical costs of smoking, yet massive cigarette taxes, and most of the smoking settlement money from 15 years ago, is spent on other BS.
"Here comes the first output. What does it say?!?!?"
"The pattern-recognition AI says, after studying millions of instances of tracking, we should use ads with 'selfies' of humanoids wearing tight clothes hiding prominent chest tumors."
There are other, far greater dangers than a Boston, 9/11, or even "mushroom cloud". Namely, collapse of freedom in the US via decades-long slippery slope. Once the tools of a 1984-like tyranny are built, with nothing but "you are supposed to get a warrant" stopping G. Gordon Liddy types from spying on political opponents, it's all over.
It's the lack of real, detailed oversight, uncorruptible, reviewed logging of all queries, and so on, which we need, and which will bring an end to the need to "trust us".

It's just a generic analysis, not recognizing you per se. Which is worse?
"You could use some glasses cleaner or a hair brush."
"Sale on Depends!"
"You look stupid. Aisle six has books."
No to mention helium bombs and associated radioactivity.

Aren't they gonna miss a hell of a lot of loners this way?
If you wanna have a second-rate tech force, go ahead, Google. Make sure all your elites have lead water pipes like ancient Rome did.

The really cool part is it blocks poisonous viral meme downloads, too, so you only see a black screen when you go to Huffington Post*.
*Substitute Drudge Report for humor effect if you are already infected with the Huffington meme defense mechanism.

Software, games anyway, turned into pointless, stupid, doomed clones of past things that sold.
We are currently laboring under a continuos stream of MOBA clones and "Action MMOs", which abandon depth in exchange for console-style button mashing.
They roll out, and off a cliff, rocketting into the ground like Wile E. Coyote, and their investors lose millions, and wonder why.
