Maybe we never knew how ICBMs work? Or didn't learn that ballistic trajectories take WAY less dV than on that's supposed to put a payload into an orbit?
You saying we can send ICBM's without launching them? Because you stated we can't "launch anything like a nuke". Also, Minotaur V? You conveniently skipped that.
Or war-driving their cars. I live near an interstate and my wifi system (ubiquity) logs "near-by" access points by default. I see 30-40 GM vehicles an hour with their onboard wifi hotspots blasting out their SSID and unique MAC. Seems like they are on by default because they way out number any other maker. I only see a handful of Fords, for example.
I'd love to get an RV. As a consultant I can spend long stretches on the road. But they are "holy fuck are you kidding" expensive in most cases. Who the hell is paying $400,000+ for these things?!
Where the hell is 9-5 considered "typical" outside of maybe banking anymore? Every place I've ever been it's 8-5 or some variance of the 9 hour day if they offer "flex" time. 8 hours of work, 1 hour for lunch (or 30 with two 15 minute breaks for hourly workers), making it a "40" hour week.
OK but what does any of this have to do with THIS particular issue? The Federal ban was based on ITARS (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and was to prevent EXPORT of the plans. There was never a domestic ban on them, but since it's hard to prevent people outside the US from accessing a website the website had to come down. Export law is not the purview of the states, it's a purely federal matter and so the 10th amendment doesn't apply here.
So if the states want to try to ban them, they are free to try to do so. I'd say good luck with that, of course. Plenty of stuff is illegal to distribute for various reasons but easy to find online.
It gets even weaker when you consider the federal action at issue in this case was over EXPORT restrictions on weapons (ITARS), not domestic use. Last I checked, that was a realm where the federal government had full control, not the states.
Slap a tax on it and watch the invisible hand solve the problem. Magically.
While filling the city's coffers.
Two birds - one stone.
This is the answer. If you make something available to all those poor people they will use it instead of their designated public options. Taxis and ride sharing should be reserved for those in the upper 25% or so.
Want to watch GoT? Sub when it's running and cancel.
Unless a series is running year-round, such as Sesame Street or Real Time with Bill Maher. This is also why people on the left keep traditional cable, as The Rachel Maddow Show runs year-round, and why people on the right keep traditional cable, as Hannity runs year-round.
If you need Rachel Maddow or Hannity then you're beyond help and reason anyway. If Sesame Street is important to you then yea, you sub for the year FOR THAT SERVICE. My point was that you don't need to do that for every service in existence.
GoT is pretty spoilerific and being as popular as it is, it's hard to hold off and wait for it to be complete before watching it and not getting stuff spoiled.
I'm all for cord-cutting and 'sticking it to the man', but I would spend almost as much for single services such as HBO, Netflix, etc. (10-15$/month for each service) that I do currently for FiOS.
Why would you have every service every month? This is what gets me, people are so used to cable they forget they don't have to pay each month. Want to watch GoT? Sub when it's running and cancel. I keep Hulu and Netflix pretty much all the time and swap out other streaming services as they have shows I want to watch. Most I wait for the show to end and binge them in a month. Then poof, gone until I need it again.
A better question is why should modern "Russia" get a cut of it?
It's not like today's Russian government has any relation to Russia in 1905 - the only thing in common is geography.
I mean if the spanish can claim gold plundered from south america and lost at sea for centuries, why can't Russia make a claim on this gold? Probably easier to work out a deal with Russia for half than to have them take it to court.
They are losing revenue to Amazon and craigslist. Amazon from "professional" sellers moving where the sales are, and craigslist for the guy wanting to sell his one or two whatevers and not deal with ebay, their fees, shipping, and the increasing possibility of getting ripped off by unscrupulous buyers and ebay's overly customer friendly dispute policies.

The US doesn't even have the rockets to launch anything like a nuke
You mean besides the almost 400 Minuteman III ICBMs? Did we forget how ICBMs actually work? Or the Minotaur V?
wooosh!

For that to work you also have to require humans to do the same.

This stuff is all billed on a monthly basis. Watching a season of any TV show in a full month hardly qualifies as binge watching
Subscribe for a month, watch show you want, cancel subscription.

That's 5 years old dude.
Besides the 200 tons of gold coins, there were 5,500 boxes of gold bars. I have no idea how much that comes out to.
A "standard" gold bar weighs in at 12.4kg or 27.3lbs. Not sure how many are in a box but at minimum it's a few hundred shittons of gold.

OK, now try it with a 100KB text file. Then try it with a 10MB text file. Notepad may eventually open the file, if you're lucky.
10MB Notepad++ is still using 200% more ram than notepad.
Opening the same file in both, N++ uses 10x the RAM though. Fun.
