For the purposes of this conversation:
BAD = not possible, stupid idea
not BAD = possible
Gun control in increments changes things. Digital control in increments is the same a no control. You can have 1 bad gun, 100 bad guns, or 1000 bad guns and get very different results. 1 loose encryption key is the same as 1000. Even something as simple as a digital picture, once it's out, it's out. Deleting it does not remove anything from circulation. Destroying one gun, removes it from circulation. I'm no gun control fanatic, but assholes like you are shitting in the punch bowl when grownups are trying to make hard decisions. Personally, I won't own a hand gun and I'd lean toward heavy regulation on them, but I think long guns should be readily available.
FROM YOUR CDC REPORT
Evidence was insufficient to determine the effectiveness of any of these laws for the following reasons.
Further high-quality research is required to establish the relationship between firearms laws and violent outcomes. Potential areas for further investigation will be discussed in detail in an upcoming article in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
You can't distribute a key to every electronic device, because you don't have one. You could if there was a backdoor or "master" key.
My entire point is this:
master key / backdoor = BAD
gun control = not BAD
Effectiveness may vary, but the two are not comparable. They are apples and pinecones. I'm just irritated that your dragging your tired NRA trope in here.
There are plenty of people who shouldn't have guns but don't need to be in prison, despite your wall of text. If you don't see the difference between copying a record and an mp3, a gun and an encryption key; I can't help you.
I'm certainly not the first person to tell you this, and I probably won't be the last you ignore, but your brain isn't working right.
Thanks, you'll be waiting a long time for someone to make a concrete example that doesn't cherry pick from years of content. Sure it's possible there are afew biased stories out there, but most of their content is solid reporting.
I don't buy the speech interface. It's noisy in most human environments. Maybe it would work in a commuter car, but add some kids and forget about it. Anywhere outside a car, people want some privacy. Have you heard people's "computer talking" voice? It's loud.
Did you know some of these lights have cameras (that look for a pre-defined area to be full) instead of floor sensors. I'm convinced they get out of alignment due to the weather and cause long trigger times, or won't trigger unless your in a weird position.
I think they have been removing them around here, I've seen the cutting circle wire sensors into the roads.
Your so blinded by your pro-gun agenda you totally missed my point. Gun control, taking one gun out of circulation, is a low bar for success. Guns are addressed individually and controlling some is better then controlling none, even if it's impossible to control all.
Master encryption keys, or backdoors are totally different. By that, I mean that only one is needed. Once that one is out, it can be copied, or used surreptitiously millions of times. Taking on copy away, does nothing to prevent other copies from existing. As a digital object, it can be replicated instantly, hidden easily, transported quickly and silently. None of this is true for guns.
How many of those serve any specific address. I'll bet you find it's not many. I have a choice of two, but I live in a downtown apartment in an urban area.
Comcast and other cable ISP's have a better network for dealing with local and state governments. AT&T is accustomed to dealing with things at the federal level. This is the simple explanation. A patchwork of laws benefits their competitors.

It also specifically indicates it applies to cable companies, but that should be obvious.
You don't, you make sure they pay into the tax structure so their is a safety net for employees.
I don't by into the uselessness of workers. I think automation will increase available work as long as we prevent a race to the bottom due to worker desperation.
The short answer is "Taxes". The long answer is "Regulations to ensure worker safety, a reasonable minimum wage, and a robust safety net that includes healthcare. This way nobody is shut out of the economy and we can all prosper."
Woah, let me address the most important part of your comment. If God wanted you to listen to Christian music, wouldn't he make it good? Listening to it is the modern equivalent of scourging yourself.

So.. I question whether you have read the report.
You can't distribute a key to every electronic device, because you don't have one. You could if there was a backdoor or "master" key.
My entire point is this:
master key / backdoor = BAD
gun control = not BAD

Everything has a slant, but not everything is a lie.
It's a basic reality that's hard for some people to accept.
There are plenty of people who shouldn't have guns but don't need to be in prison, despite your wall of text.

Wow, you are so insightful.
Tell me please, how does one gun compare to an army? Is it useful against them? How many can you hurt before it is neutralized?
Now let's imagine a backdoor or "Master key". How many times can this be used before it is neutralized? How useful is it to one person against many?
Do you see the flaw in your argument, or are you too full on NRA kool-aid.
How many of those serve any specific address. I'll bet you find it's not many.

wah..wah.. guns...
amirite?

It doesn't say that, your lying or misinformed.

FCC was vested with authority to regulate, by Congress.
I was joking about your typo. I'm guessing you meant $100/hr or $100k /year.
I do my own consulting, but I also keep a day job. I do pretty well.
I wish I could pay myself $40k out of $100/year, but I would be $39.9k short...
How much do you think the NHS stabilizes prices.
Not true, you can collect damages. Unless an employer kills them in the course of work, then you have risible caps.
There is no evidence for this. A business that raises wages is at a disadvantage to other businesses. If all are forced to raise wages, it's an even playing field. There is no evidence that raising minimum wage damages employment and mounting evidence that it helps.
Unfortunately, it's our only option currently. No matter how many of us see a better way.
You don't, you make sure they pay into the tax structure so their is a safety net for employees.
I don't by into the uselessness of workers. I think automation will increase available work as long as we prevent a race to the bottom due to worker desperation.
Thanks, I thought they only offered "minimal" commercials.
The short answer is "Taxes". The long answer is "Regulations to ensure worker safety, a reasonable minimum wage, and a robust safety net that includes healthcare. This way nobody is shut out of the economy and we can all prosper."
You love commercials too?
