Proposition 54 would also force the Assembly and State Senate to allow the public to record meetings as well, which could potentially be used in political advertising.
Tbh these kinds of laws are starting to take it on the chin in the courts anyway as it steps on the right of the people to criticise their government, the most sacred part of free speech.
The vast majority of what humanity does to fend off disease and death, modern progress, depends on technological advancement, not sea levels.
Slowing this down is no friend of humanity.
Its conceivable even the worst part, moving back from the sea over 100-300 years, will become trivial with things like robots and more advanced manufacturing.
It is sillier for us to bust our balls than it would be for those in 1900 to bust their balls, delaying year 2016 tech by a few decades, when they had no clue what was to be invented. Year 1980 tech with no AGW would be no blessing today, but rather a mass murderous travesty on humanity.
No, history shows you can't have maasive government control and rapid progress (sans war machines, which perversely apes capitalism because it must get things done.)
OK, so if I rob a bank I can just reject the charges and everything will be alright? I don't get this.
Here'a a more accurate anaogy: You are rejecting a couple of guys in suits with sunglasses and cigarette in their mouths who demand payment or, you know, things might get broken, be a shame if that happened.
Most likey not. Bloat follows average storage space, and what was bloat 10 years ago fits into a tiny corner today. This applies to HDD (and now SSD), and their parallels in RAM use and CPU bandwidth.
Why haven't they been doing this all along? If not I assume it was tied up with patents, but that's what their pockets and defensive patent suites are for.
Politics and religions are the exact same memetic process -- gather as many true believers as possible, and when you get the coveted critical mass, you can jam your beliefs onto others and force them to behave like you want, whether they like it or not.
You are aping the most recent buzzword, "othering", without recognizing it as part of the quasi-religious memeplex you are an instantiating cog for.
Repeat after me: I will only speak the tenets of my religion, othering people for othering people.
Just the same, what fraction are published in myriad shit journals is useful and what are just there to give professors something to publish their crap in?
It is in the interest of these authors these crap journals continue to exist, and they have to pay for themselves somehow, and these meagre subscriptions are it. Now you seek to eviscerate it?
Tl;dr There's plenty of ignoble behavior to go around.
Cryogenics was only ever a temporary measure to get to the real biological stuff.
In any case, accidents will limit life extension. 20,000 years would be quite the feat, barring phenomenal technology. As the decades fly by, the chance of a massively destructive event approaches 100%.
They are using tax dollars to undercut private services. "Utilities" are usually government or government-granted monopolies under the theory infrastructure is so expensive it is good to give it to a single provider.
No such pressure exists for Internet. Other laws already allow shared access to poles and so on. This is, loudly acknowledged, an attempt to cut costs by forcing everyone to pay whether they want it or not. Hence it is nothing of the sort.
I'm guessing when Superman recently learned that "sometimes, he must kill", you were like right on! Screw daddy's Goody Two Shoes Superman and milksop Clark Kent!
Mercifully, we have found a home for that in Supergirl. Enjoy your asshole-rich Superman movies.
For the first time in my life, I did not watch the most recent Trek movie. Enough is enough, and fans should grow balls and stop watching crap foisted on you.
If you like it, bon apetit.
I will watch this one's apparent premeire on TV, but will not watch it on CBS All Access (it won't come close to overlapping a Big Brother live feed, and in no way will I pay to watch commercials in any case.)
The article even brags about letting an "independent group" anayze the Google glass images, as if this was part of a blind, scientifically valid study, when the self-identification is the sledgehammer in the bias room.
At the heart of the fight is a debate over the societal value of the Airbnb platform and its role in the economy of cities throughout the world. The question is whether Airbnb has been a net benefit, by enabling middle class city-dwellers to make extra money by renting out their homes
These things don't enter in as legitimate questions in a free society. Free people reserve their right to enter a new business and compete. Opportunities are not things to be doled out to powerful and connected people in backroom deals.
It is literally laughable that these wealthy people carving up the power to rent to you, used "affordable housing" as a meme to get this anticompetitive law passed.
Observe as attack lap dogs regurgitate distraction memes about safety or regulation. No shortage of memes supporting big, money-donating businesses as the end product.
It was intended to get western Europe up and productive quickly as a hedge against the soviet union.
Back then, people thought communism was a viable economic system, and nobody wanted to risk it. Little did anyone realize what a festering trash hole it would be.
Or if someone has an irritated neighbor, or the police don't like them or...
What you describe, apparently with glowing approval, isn't supposed to happen in a society of laws, not men. We aren't talking about the occasional cop letting something minor slide, but building in the discretion of officers to enforce the law. This is ripe for abuse. The law should be more specific.
Then you create a law like no more than three months rental a year, which will allow people to rent while wintering in Florida, but crush it as a year round investment.
That's the risk of not living in a planned covenanted community w/a strong HOA and restrictive CC&Rs. That's a decision you willingly made. In exchange, you have more freedom to paint your house whatever color you want, hang your laundry out to dry, park your RV in your driveway etc.
In most cases, Airbnb guests are not that obnoxious and those few that are, like all Airbnb guests, move on quickly. You've obviously never had the "neighbor from hell" who was a permanent neighbor (or long term renter) and there was nothing you could do about it except move and try to sell your now devalued house (perhaps because the neighbor is exercising their free speech rights and have posted racist or otherwise offensive materials on/around their house -- such as a prominent swastika that doubles as a wind vane and lightning arrester high above their house).
The argument it is about noisy neighbors (or zoning, for that matter) is completely specious. Politicians worldwide seek power so they can get in the way, so they can get paid to get back out of the way.
This is reduced but still present in the US. As with Uber taxis, this is about the entrenched interests being protected. Mouthings of noise or safety are red herrings -- literally the most famous form of memes: ideas that get you to behave in ways that get them to spread, where the idea has nothing to do with why it "wants" to spread, whicb is increased control to protect entrenched interests.

Hopefully it is instructions for medicine to live forever and a billion years of shows to watch.
If just one, the latter please.
That's more than 7 characters for "hello, world" = 12. Compression or clever encoding could reduce it but then it is no longer ASCII.

How many cheering this on are in the AirBnB thread cheering on NYC using laws to protect the entrenched interests.
Oh, right. That's different, because Comcast's arguments are transparently self-serving.
Fags are not known for their mental powers. Sticking your penis into a rectum is not very smart.
Sticking your penis in anything is not very smart. That's why lust evolved, to make you wanna do it anyway.

Don't forget half of all new medical tech is from the US. This is what saves lives. Other countries should be more like us, not the other way around.

The Windows 10 Creators Update lets users on mobile devices take three-dimensional photos by scanning an object as they walk around it.
Boy, and you thought picture boards had penis selfie problems now.
Browsers do have built-in font size change, but that's only 5 sizes and is clumsy to use as it is menu based.
Maybe ctrl-shift-wheel on the desktop would make it worthwhile. On phones I have no idea.
"But the server needs to know your font size! How will it readjust???" It won't need to if the web designer is doing it right.
No, no. Sashdot sucks for humor that could benefit from spoiler, strikethru, lots of CAPS, and other humor tools.
You can't even start a line with three dots to humorously continue someone else's quoted thought.
