I must have missed the part where Microsoft tried app store on Windows 10, and monitored every keystroke, vocalization, and screen caps uploaded to their servers, and multiple desktops, preparing you for desktop virtualization into the(eir) cloud.
The big tech companies want to offer a place free of horrible stuff, while at the same time not developing a reputation for censorship.
I don't know if they can do both. Worse (and this is the problem with governmenr regulation) they have to try to avoid "regulation by raised eyebrow" where a regulator (driven by some in Congress) might look the other way, "too big corporation-wise", as long as they crush wild, nasty viewpoints.
This is a regular concern for radio and TV stations as they approach licensing renewals -- did they reign in some of their political shows?
For commercial speech. That is not, however, other speech, and political speech is the most protected of all, even lying, lest the government become the arbiter of truth in politics.
Even commercial speech is butting agajnst the First Amendment, with cases being thrown out where government attempts to silence people who don't have a license in this or that industry, like the non-P.E. engineer commenting online about some crappy bridge or something, or someone giving vaguely medical advice in a discussion forum.
So by burning it (or oxidizing it ala composting), they are drying it out, releasing the moisture as gas, which then condenses out on the other side of the container, because too much humidity.
Surviving due to regulations is not likely to be noticed by the survivor. Like not dying due to a prevented accident thanks to technology. So, Americans can keep going blasting big government and regulations, their favorite pastime, and lament on the price of medical insurance while spending their money on churches that never cured anyone instead. Growing trend: ignore experts as your personal opinion trumps their expertise.....
You know what also isn't noticed by the survivors? How many of their friends and family died because progress lagged behind where it otherwise would be.
This accrues like compound interest over the decades. What it 5% behind where we otherwise would be, in terms of deaths?
I remember helping haul my grandma's long-unused boiler from her basement, est 500 lbs. We tied a rope and looped it around the fence outside to snug up to keep it from falling. The fence groaned quite a bit.
Her coal chute had heh long hehe heheheh long since been bricked up ehehehehehe.
No. People need to be able to vote with their feet as a last resort. Escaping even the sweet-talking charismatic overlords who rise to power in a democracy is a necessary right. Democracy is a means to an end, and is not the end itself, which is the freedom to pursue your own dreams and make your own life better.
There should never be a world government (Sorry, my fellow Star Trek nerds) because then there is nowhere to flee to when (not if) it goes bad. And that means not beginning to internationalize forced tax rates.
There's tons of software done in Detroit as almost every controllable component is a node on the network nowadays, and that's all embedded. Nav radios are fully functioning 32-bit computers with either some *nix clone or Microsoft's OS on it.
And Detroit is right. It's easier to hire people to add the latest tech goodies than it is for the tech goodie inventors to create a whole car around it.
The Supreme Court is shifting. As people move their "papers" into the cloud, it carries with it an expectation of privacy. People should not have to give up their 4th Amendment rights just to take advantage of modernity.
That's sordid. The worst part was "head of FEMA" was a plumb position to which you appointed a donor or funds raiser who was otherwise incompetent and unskilled at management.
Then during a hurricane during Clinton, the guy screwed up, and Washington swore they'd never use the Head of Fema position in that way ever again, not no way, not no how. It would be an actual, competent manager if not someone outright skilled in disaster management.
Not so long after came "Brownie", the same old thing. This guy was incredible because at one point he whined in a text back to the President, "Can I come home now?" i.e. have I been here long enough for show?
Time was the left defended the right of Neo Nazis to march, against conservative America. It was things like that that brought about "card-carrying member of the ACLU" as an epithet.
But they've discovered an apparent crack in the First Amendment, and miserable human nature is shining right through, as they use the threat of pulling federal money (a law) to order schools to censor. They are no longer fighting the good fight. They are fighting the bad fight of the dictator, who covets this power aborning.
It isn't about the value of any particular bit of speech. It is about forbidding the construction of the tools of tyranny, core to our constitutional design.
My favorite line in Contact is during the first party where Drumlin is saying, "i just think grant money should be spent for the benefit of The People."
Nerdy young physicist: "Not unlike my L-band globular clusters."
Perhaps, but that's not really the issue here. The issue is whether government can hurt people who disagree with it, which is to say, those in power.
As all are equal under the law, no.
Now whether they do, or should, have the power to directly pass laws about NN, is a different subject.
Chicago got into trouble planning on denying Chick fil-a licenses to open restaurants, and that was even worse because there was no way government conceivably had the power to punish people over religious or free speech issues.
We The People deny those in power from twisting government power in this way.
The lawsuit argues that states cannot regulate "indirectly through their spending, procurement, or other commercial powers what they are forbidden from regulating directly.
Nor do you want them to. This is constructing new powers not given them from other powers.
Imagine a government restricting contracts from a company whose CEO said he liked Hillary for President.
Times are better than they ever have been before in terms of longevity, health, and average wealth. Our primary health problem is too much cheap, energetic food, a novelty for economists, who historically thought in tems of calories produced per person and dollars per calorie as measures of lifting fom dirt-floor poverty.
And yet we are spending as much per person as we did in 1943, the height of World War 2, when the US was engaged in a massive war on two fronts and was building one new major ship per week.
It is a spending problem driven by politicians and their hyperbole.
You can bust up used radioactive stuff and split it down to something safe. It just costs a lot of more energy and money.
In some hypothetical future, with very cheap energy, they can tackle this. Sam with using robots to sort landfills for recycling, which many will live to see.
I'll even bet some will whine how this or that city sold off their landfills to robo-companies for pennies on the dollar!
Technically speaking, whether the FCC should enforce net neutrality, whether there were fraudulent submissions, and whether NY and NJ are corrupt are three separate issues.
Disability may not be due to sin, but is still due to God so his good works may be expressed.
Not helping much. At least sin-as-cause was straight forward. This "new" idea -- I am reminded of the demotivational of a sinking ship, "It could be that the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others."
And to make sure they make the proper donations to politicians going forward. EU politicians and not just those of the obsolescent nation-states. This was their error over the past 10 years.
Uhhhhhh if one was a cynic suggesting "follow the money", that is.

Since when is deceptive advertising free speech?
Advertising Is Protected by the First Amendment. ... However, advertising or "commercial speech" enjoys somewhat less First Amendment protection from governmental encroachment than other types of speech. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for example, may regulate speech that is found to be "deceptive."
For commercial speech. That is not, however, other speech, and political speech is the most protected of all, even lying, lest the government become the arbiter of truth in politics.

You understand this is a novel problem -- too much food, and people don't wanna eat their vegetables.
It is a major goalpost shift from "poor people starving."

Because using zeroes for Os is cloying.

Nah don't bother. I'm sure blue cheese + musty from under a log will be much more popular.
