I am impressed he's found something else to do good with.
But I suggest he look at what Nepal did:
He could fix the sanitation issue and solve a large part of their energy issues very cheaply.
He just needs to push some startup money to modify the designs for the different areas and
some startup money for a micro-finance so people will be able to buy them.
Yes they do make the policy. The law instituted the TSA required them to ensure travel security. It doesn't require them to sexually exploit passengers. The regulations that put that into place were in fact created by the TSA itself. While it was the upper echelon of the TSA that came up with the regulations; there are no shortage of complicit blue vests at the airports "randomly" picking the cute young women for rapescans and feeldowns either all while just following orders. Nice excuse that.
No. Its neither regressive nor progressive its flat. The rich and the poor pay the same percent of their total income in a flat tax. You may prefer a progressive income tax, but there are good arguments against it that you should not dismiss out of hand.
Of course, if we assume the TSA is trying to protect people then it would be a TSA failure. When you realize they don't give a rats ass about people but just want to protect airplanes then you realize what a success they are even in your case/scenario.
"At the same time, there's pressure to keep things at the least restrictive classification level possible (because managing classified material is burdensome and (hence) expensive)."
That is the official policy. The reality is the opposite. Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy would explain why there is more pressure to classify stuff than leave it unclassified. After all that will protect and expand the bureaucracy. The fact that FOUO exists and is used on everything now proves the point; Now we classify unclassified material as not appropriate for citizens.
Get a good real estate lawyer. Its likely that they didn't file the paperwork for the transfers and may even have intentionally shredded the mortgage contracts.
Your house may not even be securing that loan anymore.
If he succeeds with this wont this prove intelligent design as an origin for life?
I mean this will be a known life form that has been observed to be intelligently designed.
The Bill of Rights to the constitution grants no rights. Its evident if you read it. The first amendment reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It doesn't say it grants any rights or freedoms. It recognizes the freedom and rights of the people that already existed. Indeed to be even more clear the 9th amendment reads
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Where do these other rights come from if you think they come from the constitution? Clearly the founders of our country realized that the rights of men were not granted by governments, but came from some other higher power; they said so in the Declaration of Independence. Your views on rights being granted at whim by the government lead to a statist tyranny. Dread Scott was wrong on law and on the merits.
The grizzly isn't that great. But it has a real tool head that wont have huge runout like a dremel will. Putting digital read outs and steppers(or better yet servos) on one and you would have a three axis cnc setup that's close loop. It would likely have 100 times more accuracy than their design. What are they getting on that dremel based, tenth of an inch accuracy?
It's using a dremel as a tool head. It is not going to be easy to square it. Its going to be an open loop CNC. Maybe they should just make a kit to fit a grizzly mini mill?
I tend to agree with the above. I intended to post basically the same. Software added to the OS to fix security flaws in the architecture has a good argument as being part of the OS. If MS hadn't tried to claim the browser was a core part of the OS I doubt many people would have an issue with this being added.
Anything that is broken. If it released by industrial espionage, or fraud, its not broken then is it? Maybe that is what the law protects. Its also likely that most people will notice the distinction between a technological crack(why should that be illegal?) and an insider theft of the key(hey, he stole the key from them!).

Here is an article on how nepal did it:

The real issue is that this reeks of depseration for money on CCP's(the developer) part, as well as stupidity on how to get that money.
The expansion is bug ridden. They literally showed the players the door if you don't want the new features.
So I want the billing system to switch to ICD-10 so that the government and my insurance company know more about my health than they do now.
You're mustachioed and are watching out for me aren't you?
They don't take solar variation into account. Ask your local solar astronomer if global warming is man made or sun driven and see what he says.
Too bad he doesn't work for a PA school system. If he did he'd get out of jail free, even if the victims were minors.

So it becomes a UNESCO heritage item; after that any changes to it would be damaging world heritage and overnight wikipedia dies.
Be very careful what you wish for people.

Fortunately Brown's Ferry didn't just almost get hit with an EF5 tornado and have to emergency shutdown. Oh wait...
So lets see. Not enough people watch SyFy. So you want them to raise the cost of it so that the demand will increase.
You should work for congress!
What about chatting with your girlfriend and pretending it's a bot? :-)
Well played...

I'm not going to comment on anything else in your post but the following:
"Are we that stupid as a species?"
Yes, yes we are.

That's exactly what I was suggesting. The machine the article was about won't come close to doing what that one will.

Yeah, me neither

Anything that is broken is ineffective, no?

"This is all about blame shifting and the appearance of easy 'correction.'"
Congratulations! You just gave the best definition of what a bureaucracy is!
