Shoplifting? What prevents the stores from systematically defrauding the customers? Almost nothing.
I've always added up my own groceries in my head, a natural at math including addition. Used to be discrepancies of 15-75 cents would creep in, and I would nail them on it. Especially on "triple the difference" or "free item" guarantees. "Triple the dif" and "free item" are long gone, and now the totals are *frequently* $5-10 off, usually mismarked (not remarked) advertised specials and "clever" (mis)placement of price signs. Another problem comes in that the often kids don't how to fix the problem, and have to call out how to do it, if anyone is there.
I have been told that many stores expect their managers to enhance such "errors". I can't remember being undercharged.
The overall trend is increased taxation and spending.
When I was a kid there was a vote to increase sales tax from 1 cent to 2 cents. Big, big campaign. Supporters railed about how this much money, "almost limitless," would improve everything. Of course, everything has turned to "Detroit" (cowpatty) and the sales tax is now many times that.
It doesn't have to cost hundreds of thousands for cancer treatment. Outside the US, treatment for under 1/10 the US cost is possible. Outside of obsolete approved medicine, much better results *can be* obtained. Unfortunately the blare of the marketing machines keeps drowning out the real advances. Ordinary doctors can't be bothered, and in the US wouldn't have time/resources to "verify" them.
I happen to be a researcher with real life examples utilizing others published research. Cheaper and better. Fascist medicine - state taxed, privateered medicine, is likely to cost a lot of lives. Already had some horrible family experiences with both Medicare and the cancer establishment - now they are "Living it up" without them.
Sometimes homeschooling is for parents whose views are so extreme that they want their kids to stay alive. Drive-by shootings by druggie-dealer kids was a deadly reality during my kid's public high school years. I remember when some after school events were disrupted in the days following a 9th grade girl getting whacked.
A lot of the "boring science" is politically correct trash that is conclusory, untested and non-factual in nature like CAGW rather than fundamental discipline sciences like biology, chemistry and physics. Garbage in...
Whereas visual demos and labs can be exciting, to create a sense of participation and wonder that propels a hunger to learn more.
This article shows Israeli security at the airport *demanding* incoming US passengers to open their Gmail accounts for perusal. Can imagine UK or US govt Nazi agencies pulling this sh|t sooner than later.
The UN is always looking for a handout or an independent tax base. Of course when the UN is an independent power, US citizens will want consider declaring war on an incipent enemy of the US rights.
The Climate Models are seriously incomplete approximations of physical phenomena, that diverge from reality and are unverified, unless previous failures count as negative verification.
The important question isn't seeing some global warming while recovering from a little ice age or similar burps, "mistaken" for CAGW. The original climate studies funded in the 1970s were supposed to be whether we could tell when the next Ice Age might begin and to plan, where decades vs centuries vs millenia make a real difference. Because an Ice Age is a verifiable, recurring problem and a genuine threat to modern Mankind.
Few CAGW *facts* have been offered. Many relevant facts, analyses and proposals contrary to CAGW have been deliberately altered, hidden, ignored, or attacked politically.
The study suggests CAGW appeals to someone drinking too long at the communitarian-socialist well, or simply doesn't have a strong enough hard, experimental science background (or ability) to recognize computerized, politicized drivel when served whole with prebaked results. Or snookered by politicians with a D in the science-for-poets-&-pols class (I'm thinking of you, Al with a 488 on Math I, hahahaha). Again, the study correlated CAGW supporters with two groups: communitarians and ignorant individualists.
Monsanto citing biologically contaminated farms adjacent to GMO farms, as "infringers", is akin to Tokyo Electric calling nucleotide contaminated houses, receivers of stolen property, and extorting payments from the victims !
somewhere, hopefully for a profit. The recent success of the SpaceX rocket is crucial because its vision pushes the envelope for cheaper launch costs, now. $ per lb is the hurdle for commercial space development. Mining, energy, colonization - flight has to be affordable for large scale development. That first step is hardest and most expensive. SpaceX just made a significant rung. Everyone else has to beat that, like the microprocessor manufacturers of the 1970s and 80s.
I wouldn't say that Tenenbaum violated the law, as much as spurious legislation, the "law," is being used violate Joel Tenenbaum. Seeing as these songs are available on Utube, presumably as advertising, I also have a hard time with punitive damages over triple damages which were traditionally considered as highly punitive in intellectual property disputes. So, somewhere between $0.003 and $3 per song should be considered as highly punitive. Beyond that is fascism, extortion and financial terrorism.
By now, everyone should know what to do with terrorists.

A drone strike on a cybercafe or physical address with too many bots ?

Surely there is a few thousand felonies in there somewhere with peoples' medical and financial information.

Sounds like a job for a bootable Linux lite thumb drive with trojan hunting files.
...in Hades. Just another "charismatic" blowhard psychopath and demagogue loose in So America with a trillion+ of barrels of oil going to waste.

In engineering, we call such a degree of misclaimed quality and certainty, "dangerous".
Yes, police drones with Hellfire missles, backed by Civil asset forfeiture laws could reduce ex-urban speeding violations by 30%.

Real Climate is a self seeking, self serving attack site by wanna-be-important academics.
Summaries don't tell you whether the papers are thin, bullsh|t or 419 scams.

Whew. Thought they were accusing the Boy Scouts of America....

America needs to have Constitutional law reign in the abuse of political, economic and military power of the malignancy sprouting from Washington DC.
Sounds like ethernet or any previous network device, just addressing people instead of devices.
