Government review process? A bullshit procedural addendum.
The ony review process that matters, by definition, is a review by The People, which is being thwarted for only one possible reason: to prevent blowback against elected officials who are trying to sneak something through.
"Let's write an awful piece of rights-stripping legislation. Of course, we must hide the first few drafts while lawyers review it and rephrase everything in less threatening terms.
There is nothing "insightful" about this post -- it is just a bunch of bald assertions running contrary to historical fact.
It does, however, run in accordance to the historical "fact" that is the meme worldview contained in certain people's minds that falsely informs them of the state of reality.
Gun ownership is not a quaint anachronism; rather it has aided not falling into tyrrany, and so much so we've been able to save nations that fell, or almost did, and contain other that did, all of whom followed your broken, inaccurate meme worldview against gun ownership.
This is not new. When I was little some 35 years ago, my mom told me there was nothing stopping you from going faster than light, you just had to start off going faster than light.
North and South Korea, incredibly homogeneous genetically -- one powerful, one dying on the vine.
So much for that theory.
Hmmmm. Maybe economic and other freedoms have something to do with it.
Oh, by the way, humans are dual reproducing data sets -- the DNA and the memes in the head. I'm so god damned sick of biologists thinking the reproducing data streams are all DNA. IDIOTS!
That honey article is misleading -- there's nothing fake about ultra-filtered, pollenless honey. The issue was this pollenless honey was ultrafiltered so they couldn't trace the pollen back to the country of origin, China in this case.
"Nutritional" benefit of pollen in honey that you're lacking? Puh-fucking-leeze. Issues of other kinds of contamination are valid, of course, but that can occur with "normal" pollen-a-liscious honey, too.
Many counterfeits are manufactured on the same assembly lines that produce the real stuff. These suppliers are under strict contract that they are not allowed to do that, but they sometimes do anyway, often using cheaper materials. So the frauds look identical because they basically are, but for the cheaper, and thus more dangerous, materials.
You're not supposed to. The purpose is to give local officials a way to walk in and demand kickbacks.
Politics is much easier with the parsimonious theory that almost all laws are to demand bribes to get back out of the way. It has astounding explanatory and predictive power.
Even in the US, it is largely about demanding legal bribes, AKA donations, or you get punished as a business. Often it's also to teach other business to fear things coming down the pike.
When you slobber and drool and cheer at the rallying cry for a law, you're just being the useful idiot, like the engineer caste in The Mote In God's Eye.
It's neither. Putin is rebuilding the corrupt system where getting ahead means not building business but joining the government so you can get in the way and demand kickbacks. You need an army of subordinate colleagues-in-crime to keep this up longer-term. As a bonus, if any get out of line, well, they, too, are already violating law and can be disappeared at will.
failing to meet the proposed measure would result in a fine ranging from 20,000 rubles to 50,000 rubles ($640 to $1,600)
Well, we will know in a few days. We will hear an announcement it's Curiosity's hubcap, or maybe a chunk of natural metal curiously unoxydized, or Nasa will announce it has lost contact with Curiosity "mysteriously" and the military's black budget will suddenly octuple.
As usual, about 90% of the posters, including, impossibly, the OP, never read TFA. This isn't about your iPod or old book or 40% of your car. It's about some asshole buying books over seas and importing them to the US and selling them for millions in a huge operation.
No, you don't, in fact, get to do that. Copyright is about creating a de jure monopoly on intellectual property so you can charge what the market will bear.
If you have qualms about the indefinite re-extensions Congress keeps issuing, that's one thing. Otherwise, the law is working as intended.
They claim he's growing more beans than his seed purchase could have produced. Therefore he must have added the Roundup ones separately.
He says it was part of this mix. In that case, it would be the fault of whoever sold him the seed, logically, though legally is another matter.
TFA is confusing, but it seems he's also claiming an earlier court ruled that using the seeds to grow and produce new seeds, that the new seeds (used for yet another generation rather than sale) were infringing, presumably because he didn't sell them as food. This should be covered by current law, one would hope.
I thought there was a penalty for improper notices. You know, to stop abuse and attempts to silence people?
It would have to be a fraction of percent of erroneous notices (large careful organizations might generate a lot even if it's just a small fraction of their total) but accounting for that it should be penalized.
Trash 80s (smile when you say that, pardner!) in a class network with a "server" that was a giant monitor unibody TRS with 4, count 'em, 4 floppy drives.
We would boot and put our data disk in the server to load and save Basic programs.
BTW, for historians, the classes were called "Data Processing I" and II.
I wrote a command line faker program which accepted "load" commands, paused the proper amount of time, then spit out some rude error message.
To quote Lois Griffen's mom and dad, "At the time, it was the right thing to do."
Later I wrote a program to draw a 3D cube. It just plotted hand-placed points, no 3D calculations involved, just an array of 2D points that looked like a cube, using pixels the size of a human head.
The teacher, coincidentally head of the math department, saw it and was stunned as there was no 3D math built into the Basic.
I had become like Richard Pryor in Superman III, just released earlier that year, doing the impossible with computers and dual coordinates. I chose not to disabuse him of this notion.
UMich AA and Pascal will have to wait for another day.
If.NET is as desirable as he thinks, tthere should be plenty of demand to hire someone "outdated" but aware of.NET stuff and bring them up to speed. Remember they are bringing noobs up to speed from scratch.

Humans have been doing it for thousands of years with writing already. External storage of information.
Teh Internets is just bigger and faster. Next revolutionary step is offloaded thinking.

Yes I grew up weird. Or maybe everyone else did.
US, incredibly diverse genetically -- economically powerful.
Japan, incredibly homogeneous genetically -- economically powerful.

Aircraft parts are where the "cheaper materials illegally run off on the same assembly line as real parts" issue becomes critical.

Toes with toes. It is right to stamp out mutants.
I would also like to point out that what happens at the end of a long dirt road "dump" stays at the end of a long dirt road "dump".

I pronounce it "Linux" like Linus and Charlie Brown. Does this bother you?
And I'd like to ask a follow up question:
"Really?"
And another follow up to that:
"No, come on. Really?"
Didn't read TFA, did you?

If evolution and geology conflict with the Bible, so much the worse for the Bible. You'd best get busy re-interpreting it.
I believe the current apologist state of the art in most major religions is evolution happened but was "guided".
Fuck just use laser beams, dammit!
