Under House Bill 2319, the state of Kansas would declare a “distributor shall not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, lease or distribute to a consumer any product or service that makes content available accessible on the internet unless such product or service contains an active and operating technology protection measure.”
So, absent a definition of "technology protection measure", DEFAULT ALLOW might well do it.
Israel has about a third the rate of car ownership of the USA. I can see that the 'poor', and even the middle-class, might find the cost of a private vehicle becomes uneconomic. Maybe. It's an interesting thought.
And, BTW, what is going on in San Marino? With its land area, pretty everywhere appears to be within walking distance, and yet there's 1.3 cars per person!
Band the sale only. So, no new non-electric (or CNG) vehicles, but there will be existing vehicles. I assume that there will continue to be a large (if diminishing over time) number of 'legacy' vehicles for some considerable time. In fact, unless really draconian regulations are introduced, there will be vintage and speciality vehicles indefinitely. Not to mention military (battery powered tanks?), aircraft, ships, farming and such like.
The interesting point will be when the filling stations are mostly all electric charging stations, and driving your vintage car across the country gets to be pretty challenging.
That's actually the reason. The Internet is a medium with zero trust. It's also unreliable. Therefor, the end-points have had to ensure trust and reliability themselves.
The telco world evolved on the premise that its network was secure and reliable (objective evidence to the contrary). Its protocols assume secure/reliable transport, and DON'T put any checks in themselves. Over the years, as the protocols have evolved, the mindset has still been one of a centralised cabal of trusted providers. If something does go wrong at the transport layer, the endpoints don't and can't do anything about it. That means that there have to be fundamental changes in order to do authenticated calls. But, after over a century of incremental modification, the natural path (natural for the telco mindset), is to do more tweaking; to add more complexity to the twisty maze of interconnect protocols. Instead, the correct thing to do is to replace with a new, Internet based app. All the while navigating more than a century's worth of laws, regulations, established best practice, and without breaking established services.
A phone network knows the numbers in its own network, but relies on the networks it peers with to supply correct information.
If Verizon passes on a call from Cox, it trusts the number Cox says originated the call. In terms of billing, Verizon doesn't care. It doesn't send a bill to the originating caller (Cox's subscriber), it sends it to Cox, with appropriate call details (time of day, duration, A & B numbers, etc.)
Given that every telco doesn't peer with every other telco, that trust then gets distributed---and diluted.
As networks get huge, and hugely complicated, bad actors can spoof their numbers. Or, they may just steal them (hack into someone's PBX and jump off from its number).
I really enjoyed that book when I was a kid. (Unfortunately, it's got rather a lot of magical thinking, around the nature of the weapons themselves.)
If there were a correlation between gun ownership and freedom, you'd expect the top 10 gun owning nations to largely overlap the top 10 most free nations. Oh well, correlation does not imply causation.
To think about it another way, and quoting some pop culture: "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast". Countries with a culture of democracy don't mind if their citizens have guns---Switzerland and New Zealand both have quite a few guns, but very strict laws about their ownership. Without the culture, giving your citizens guns doesn't make them democratic, it just makes more of them dead.
[the]Hangzhou Sage Chemical Company. They offer it in 100g, 500g, and 1 kilo amounts, which is interesting, because I don’t think a kilo of dioxygen difluoride has ever existed. Someone should call them on this – ask for the free shipping, and if they object, tell them Amazon offers it on this item. Serves 'em right. Morons"
Helium goes right through solid objects.
Plastics have molecules, and holes between molecules, about 25,000 times larger than a helium atom. Helium gas is normally single atoms, not molecules.
Cooking for yourself doesn't make economic sense - it's more like a hobby.
If you cook for yourself though, you will probably use less salt; you will almost certainly use far less sugar; and you will not add any of the commercial preservatives, emulsifiers, bulking agents and dyes that are added to the majority of store-bought meals. Your food should therefor be healthier and significantly less fattening.
People have hobbies because they enjoy them. They are objectively good for you because they reduce stress and increase happiness. If cooking is in fact your hobby, that's a good thing for your health and sanity.
Good point. However, receive and transmit antennae are normally separate anyway. You use a multi-element receive antenna, but a single element transmit antenna. If you can replace all of your multi-element receive antennae with a single, smaller one, that's still a big win in terms of tower real-estate.
One antenna covering a huge range of frequencies, rather than many. As the article says, a normal antenna is one or more conductors, each 1/2 wavelength long. If you have many bands, such as the cellphone system, then you need one antenna for each band.
With high bandwidths, such as will be used for 5G, you are into the sweet spot for this technology.

Actually, it was a decision, and some vendors made different choices. Quite successful choices.

when you actually mean
p = q;
(and the idiom depends on idiosyncrasies of the PDP-11 instruction set), was a stupid decision.

The FCC proposal seems stupidly complex on the face of it, but it might be the simplest solution. (Might, I don't know.)

It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively.

And my rubber chicken.
Mobile phones should not be taken into a facility with a MRI machine anyway.
The phones were nowhere near the MRI. The Helium leaked out of the MRI facility and into the surrounding areas, according to the article.
Helium goes right through solid objects. Plastics have molecules, and holes between molecules, about 25,000 times larger than a helium atom. Helium gas is normally single atoms, not molecules.
Helium gas is always single atoms, except for extraordinarily unusual circumstances which assuredly were not in play here.
