There's a case winding its way through courts right now where a US agent, inside one of these border airlock areas, controlled by the US but partially on Mexican soil, shot at a someone and the bullet accidentally killed a Mexican on the Mexican side inside. Can his estate sue the US?
I'm just waiting for the day of 3D printed heat seeking missiles with 49 cents of Radio Shack electronics and open source guidance code. The future looks fun:(
Not scaring the holy hell out of investors is a good thing. The previous admin operated with a one-two punch of literally a policy of being unconcerned with how much a regulation cost for the tiniest of gains, combined with unconstrined spending coupled with "They must pay their fair share" rhetoric showing the need (spending, borrowing) and willingness to increase taxes at some point.
If you are an investor, to hell with it. A few percent decline and there goes your growth.
This is how it is supposed to work. But is there anything physically, mechanically standing in the way of rogue agents spying on, say, political opposition?
Is there automated logging of all actual taps that cannot be bypassed?
Thb they would probably argue they are protecting the safety of US citizens by maintaining a spy capability. That is their job, not turning over those same vulnerabilities.
Funnily enough, even doing step one in your list is bloody difficult with our current capabilities.
A hundred years ago you were waiting for a horse to take you places, or maybe an electric trolley if you lived in a big city.
I am astounded at the goobering ignorance of fools who think they have any idea what tech will be like in 100 years, when it will be more changed than it was from 100 years ago.
The question isn't about the spy capabilities. It's about whether these tools are used without logging and review by elected officials from the Congressional security committees.
If they can be, then they will be by this or that faction spying not on the bad guys but their own political opponents. This is the reason for the 4th Amendment, to stop the king from filching through opponents' papers at will looking for stuff to tag them with.
They should have an automated and non-disablable logging system that stuff things into some MD5 file that is copied offsite to multiple places, to prevent editing of it. I'm pretty sure they have little more than a piece of paper with a checkbox "You did bother to get a warrant. Or at least a national security letter, right?" before all activity is not logged anyway.
Not only will a rebate at that point be pointless, but long before then the govenment will be slapping an annual tax on electric vehicles because, you know, roads must be paid for and gas isn't keeping up the tax base anymore.
This happened in the Netherlands 30 years ago when you could convert your car to dual-burn also natural gas, which was way way cheaper. You had to drive about 20,000 km a year to break even over the tax.
That type of law is to clear up internal buffering and copying inside the computer, a requirement of how computers operate. Nobody would normally think of needing such a thing for analog signals wizzing down your old TV antenna, through some vacuum tubes, and whipped over an electron gun to a phopher screen.
The computer clarification was not to give carte blanche to view things you haven't paid for as long as you don't save it.
This is a silly argument, and if a court gives it purchase, the legislature needs to fix it.
and put EME proponents Netflix, Microsoft, Apple, and Google on notice that a very prominent figure was willing to stand up to them on behalf of users
I question whether this position is truly "standing up on behalf of users".
Most users have governments which pass copyright laws predicated on the value of securing, for authors for limited times, exclusive right to profit from their works as a means of encouraging the creation of said works, the volume of which as a benefit for The People.
How many times are we going to go through the whole cellphone radiation thing?
As long as there are politicians who breathe and can wiggle their fingers behind their back while cupping their hand, and useful hyperbolic idiots to do their scare tactic bidding.
Income inequality is an indirect, at best, and irrelevant at worst, measurement.
One cares about the average health, wealth, and longevity of a population. That continues to skyrocket as much of the third world becomes modernized due to economic freedom, the one measurement directly proportional to such measurements.
This continues to improve in the west, too. Their health is stalling, but due to too much cheap food and a lack of needing to physically labor.
Both of these are historically novel "problems", where most places and all other time periods, dollars per calorie and dollars per nutrition were the limiting factor to average health and longevity.
So it starts like Andromeda Strain then briefly turns into The Thing then turns into Alien complete with escape at the end with the alien hitching a ride on the escape pod.
I personally find it hard to believe Windows is losing. Are people not aware of cool new features like reporting everything you visit and type back to Microsoft for warrantless search by the government?
I would describe something like this more as a single math or logic bug.
A single character bug I first think of a misspelled variable name in C creating a new int variable, with no lint type switches on (or nobody paying attention at the spit out warning durng compilation as hundreds of thousands of lines fly by.)

You'd be surprised what a mess the case is.
And this cost cutting plays into this how?

It's bad enough entering a CC number without error. This cries out for a password "key ring", protected by a reasonable password like"password".
Jfc dude, I can't imagine why most people use common words and the same special chars over and over and write it down on paper just in case.

Without consciousness, everything is pointless. There is no point in not wrecking some other planet if nothing is there.
Even your feeble, warped mind won't be present to appreciate it's idiotic non-existence.

One more low-pay, dangerous, non-unionized job the angry left won't have to finger their worry beads over.
And now, the hand is quicker than the eye. Watch below!

If the service is acting like an Internet radio station without paying for what they offer, something is wrong.
Strangely, 3/4 of all childhood deaths are due to pristine lands without any industry or modernity.

So get government out of rationing, to the greatest greaser of palms, the legal right to create a monopoly to sell you taxi service.
All Americans are free, which is supposed to mean, among other things, the right to sell their services to you.
These licenses and safety are red herrings for a limited licensing scheme. That is what must be destroyed.
And it's important to call it, oddly, a boson because that sounds like Bose in Bose-Einstein condensate.
That is his point. No need to reiterate it.

Unacceptable but not illegal means society must pass a new law.
Demagogues leading The People on lawless rages against Lone Wolves and small groups is a much bigger problem.
