It is good to forbid government from telling The People how they must go around selecting candidates. One less thing to be inevitably twisted by those in power to maintain their power.
So, they used Facebook data to help Trump win, making facebook and its owner look like idiots at best and Trump/Russian supporters at worst, making the owner toxic to run himself.
That has to be some kind of record in political efficiency.
Anyway, follow the money. Someone is selling FB short.
It's just a kleptocracy using its dictatorial control to purchase functional things in the free west, away from potential unrest at home where they dictate so they can kleptocratize...ohhhhhhhhhh I see how this works.
It's getting better, and, as long as people are economically free to solve problems, they will be solved faster than they become serious, and conditions will continue to improve.
The error in the so-called Chicken Little warnings was refusing to recognize this process works, and so well you can make predictions with it on the quality and length of life, price of commodities, and so on.
They could do the same thing the ancient Greeks did to prove the world was round -- observe the shadow of the Earth on the moon during a lunar eclipse is always round. The only object that projects a round shadow regardless of its angle is a ball.
Then if they like, they could measure the angle of a stick's shadow at noon on the same day, in two places hundreds of miles away, north and south. They will be different angles and you can calculate the size of tbe Earth-as-ball.
Then, knowing how big the Earth is, they can calculate the size of the moon based on Earth's shadow.
Then, knowing how big the moon is, they can calculate how far away it is.
This will catch them all up to the ancient Greeks, who did this hundreds of years before Jesus was born.
In 10 years, they may be the only service around anymore. Copyright holders are pushing to overturn the DMCA stuff that lets services not be held responsible for copyright violations as long as they take down such when notified, in a timely manner.
This helped the Internet and its companies grow explosively in the US. Only the giants will be able to provide anymore if this is repealed.
We should terraform Earth making it a little warmer to stay away from Little Ice Ages anyway, which will make much more growable land in Canada, Asia, and Alaska.
This would have seemed reasonable in the 1960s or 1970s.
Some places try to outlaw taking pictures of you with your filled out ballot before you turn it in because they don't want you to be able to prove you voted in a certain way in exchange for money.
We require warrants for that, because long ago The People realized kings would filtch through the papers of uppity political opponents to find something minor to tag them with.
That value-judgement has aready been made and placed in the Constitution.
A perfectly scanned brain will not work until physics can understand, and thus simulate, the subjective perceptual experience of consciousness.
Until then it would be a brain without something doing experience-feedback or whatever consciousness does, and would not run anymore than a car without pistons. All physics does not describe how this arises.
While exactly what conscious does for the brain is debated, almost cretainly it is vital.
That isn't to say a functioning mind without it couldn't be made, just that it won't magically happen from neural simulation.
If you build strong encryption because you are a curious sort, that is not immoral.
If you want to help people keep the powers that be from filching through your papers without a warrant, that is not immoral, even if it makes warranted searches difficult.
If you want to keep dissidents in dictatorships free, that is heroic.
If you create encryption so common crooks can get away with it, that isn't.
No they cannot. China have prepared for this for years, and Russian authorities recently made statement that they are ready to operate russian segment of internet wiithout USA cooperation. So only US and EU people would suffer.
Dictatorships cut off their people from the freedom of worldwide comminication, for the purpose of maintaining their power, and it's the remaining free people who suffer?
It's taken longer to dredge a South Carolina harbor 5 feet deeper to accomodate the upcoming supercargo ships for the Panamax expansion than it took Teddy Roosevelt to dig the original Panama Canal itself.
When an empire stops keeping the trade routes open and instead turns to preying on its own people, it falters, and the center of empire moves to the growing regions on the edge.
It matters not how good the intentions. If the net effect is the same as massive corruption, oh well.

They will fail at the SC if it ever gets that far.

Dammit, you people are useless.
I'm right there with them and feel those communities' pains. I hope th...
New York has since imposed an 18-month moratorium...to "protect and enhance the city's natural, historic, cultural and electrical resources.
Wtf, politicians! Now I want the miners to win >:-(
One gets around this with actual measurements on the quality and length of life.

This is situational ethics in action!
Millions of years from now, sure.
That was what the Andromeda Strain was a strain of -- long organic molecules including plastics.

Thoughts are conscious experiences. One might send a move signal to a muscle but not a thought.

Yes, that's called a search of your papers and property and requires a warrant.

Odd worldview.
You are supposed to turn to politicians and say THERE OUTTA BE A LAW! That's how it works in a democracy.
