I can see why you'd think that, but the Navy protects our private shipping from pirates and so on. Laws essentially protect private property and conduct under force of the government. If the government only protected government property it would be significantly less useful.
Money gets people's attention more quickly than deindexed webpages, but sure, debt buyers end up with forgiven, expired, and illegitimate debt and still try to collect. You wouldn't net a billion if you found a buyer but I'm sure people try scams like you laid out and net smaller rewards.
It did feel a little mercenary writing it that way, but it felt accurate... having liquid assets is a basic need in society since you can't pay the tax man in bacon. Your wording is, however, much more pleasing to the ear and mind.
I think needing to concern yourself with money to fulfill your basic needs grounds you in reality a bit compared to living off of some giant nest egg managed by your accountant.
Eh... why would you be more entitled to internet space than TV broadcast hours? There's always a barrier of entry for a particular form of communication, be it a printing press, a pen, or a HAM radio
Their military position is weak because they can't project it very far. That they have some hardware superior to ours matters more to arms sales to third parties than it does in terms of a scrum, because the US and Russia aren't going to come to blows. I did think it was weird that Trump is against nuclear disarmament, unless I'm mistaken Russia and the US each have enough to ruin the entire world, perhaps just not as many times over as they did during the cold war.
Not directly, as you point out, but if they passed a law stating that the IoT makers were liable for misuse and made it easy to pin them on these things they'd be sure to secure them.
I've never tried, but I'd bet if you asked for a complimentary cup of water they are probably obliged to provide it. It was that way when I worked fast food. It may vary by state law. As for sneaking food, I wouldn't bother now, but in my youth we would bring in submarine sandwiches in our coat sleeves.
With Yahoo circling the drain, doesn't Verizon just have to threaten to draw them into some protracted legal fight about the deal (even if they would eventually lose) until Yahoo is even more broken then they are already?
Essentially he's saying software is a How-To book on flipping bits in the computer. You can copyright a How-To book but not patent telling someone how to use a hammer.
Unless running our simulation is so paltry it is like a Tamigotchi to the Super Intelligence. In which case we're just in a drawer waiting for a garage sale, or the battery to run down.
I suppose the thing to do would be to build a large device that can vaporize man-sized masses into plasma. Then demonstrate how you 'ejected' a chair, water balloon, and so on from the simulation, never to return. After processing payment, hope that whatever documents that demonstrate their consent to the procedure will hold up in your legal defense for murder charges, and eject them as well.
Where does all of this come from? These aren't scholars... did some poor people scour blogs to document all of these belief systems? It is fascinating but like classifying the pseudosuicidal ramblings of teenagers on forums after they get drunk the first time...
The problem there is that the format change would cease to make the simulant still 'themselves'. I can print out an Excel spreadsheet but it isn't really the same thing at all anymore on the paper. Although I suppose it could then have a relatively 'eternal afterlife' in a steady state on the paper...
Or alternatively it could be described as corroborating data to other models. "Rediscovery" implies that they're wasting time versus confirming other information.
With large mammals, though, continued support of children that take a long time to grow is useful compared to insects. Still, you're right that it comes down to selective pressure. Once having our great-great-grandparents around helps our reproductive success then we'll start living longer.
The restaurant movie theatres with beer and so on have fewer annoying folks. The tickets don't cost any more, so I'm not sure why, but so it is around here.

Why would the hardware in your PC be less likely to be backdoored? It was probably made in the same foundries.

Threatening to jail your political opponents is not normal and not acceptable, whatever your further opinions on policy are.

Oh, heavens no. Why would you think the political system would yield up the best we have to offer as our candidates?

The food and drink at the drafthouse style theatres isn't any more than regular pub fare.

Steganography, probably.
It even says on the mailed statements you get from the IRS that they will only ever contact you by mail, never by phone.

Yes, although I believe the BBB will occasionally notify the Attorney General of the resident state in some circumstances. I may be mistaken.
