The military-industrial complex sells guns to one segment of the population, gun protection to a different segment, then pays the media and their politician-shills to get both segments riled up and feeling self-righteous.
... but if you ain't made of paper nor trying to break into my house you have nothing to fear from me.
My feelings exactly.
And yet, though most of us are fairly reasonable, well behaved, and start off with good intentions, it's hard to predict the future... I was thinking of a line from "Chinatown".
Zombie pixels are just the beginning. Next thing you know it'll be zombie memes, zombie emoticons and zombie filters. The End of Times will be announced by the arrival of the zombie cryptocurrencies, moaning and dragging their block chains.
In the credits or annotations at the end of "The Big Short" (or here), it is noted that one of the players, Michael Burry or Ben Hockett, is focusing on water futures. At the time I was thinking, here's a guy who manages to see things that only become obvious in retrospect.
... Since any call made by an autodialer could violate anti-robocall rules, this led to a troubling conclusion: judges said that an unwanted call from a smartphone could violate anti-robocall rules even if the smartphone user hasn't downloaded an autodialing app...
Whew. Way to go, FCC. Obviously this is a huge problem. Huge. The courts must be packed with heinous cell phone users who have been arrested for violating this law. Does anyone have any numbers of how many people have been convicted and fined the $500 for this? Or gone to trial? Maybe arrested? Hello? Anyone? Come on. The DC Circuit US C of A has a solid, real-life, blood & guts example:
... in a scenario such as this hypothetical...
. Errrr.
Ok. So Mr Pai is diligently saving all Americans from a fate worse than ponies. IANAL, but the 2015 regulation does sound ill considered, although maybe their hearts were in the right place. In any case, Pai now has an excellent opportunity to restore respectability to his name, salvage his legacy, and drag his reputation back from Antenora in the Ninth Circle. He could enact regulations that will protect Americans from those pesky India-based telephone scammers. Surely he is working on it at this very moment.
My research says that overall accuracy has declined at 0.65 radians per fortnight, factoring out verisimilitude mitigation factors where tensile strength is less than 2.227BeV per leapyear. Use of odd numbers and fractional percentages leads to higher levels of acceptance among those who don't know how to spell per centage.
This is not surprising (Internet, etc. etc.). However, few things can compete with the sheer joy I had as a child when given the rare opportunity to roam the aisles of a Toys R' Us to discover, touch, test, and play with the toys. The "aisles" of Amazon are a poor substitute for a child.
Or the aisles of Walmart.
Giving away my age (neolithic) here, but for me nothing compared with the old Sears Christmas catalog.
It's amazing what bitches white males have become trying to out-victimize their historical victims
Maybe we shouldn't foster a victimhood culture....
Good luck with that. The commercials on the local Fox channel are 80% ambulance-chasing lawyers offering to "get you the money you deserve". It's like Jerry Springer 24x7.
the top 1% of false news cascades diffused to between 1000 and 100,000 people
Actual people or Internet Research Agency bots? I believe the Russians have got this deception propagation and contention augmentation stuff down cold.
I've got $20 that says this bill never makes it out of committee. And if I lose that, I'd be willing to double down that the authors and supporters of this bill suddenly discover that, unbeknownst to them, they've apparently requested access to pr0nhub.

I can't wait to get a delicate, sensitive robotic probe up my backside. I imagine it'll go something like this .....
Please pull down your pants and bend over. You have twenty seconds to comply

Well, I didn't vote for him.
Get to work guys.

Don't assume the software is perfect just because it has "US Government" stamped on it.
I need brains for my science project. Lots of brains. And they need to be fresh. Very fresh. And then this happens. Curses!
To start a fire?

I believe the preferred term is "oil driller."
Preferred by inbred pencildicked rednecks.

A VPN that is connecting through some other state, or some other country would easily defeat this.
...snipsnip... Failing that, the state could simply charge the $20/quarter charge for anyone who uses a VPN service ...
There goes the work-from-home business model. I know a few govt agencies and defense contractors who might have words for "the state".

Anyone that lives in the Bay Area and owns a car deserves to have it broken into or stolen.
Why? I'm not from the area so I don't know the local customs as far as deserving to be the victim of a crime.
Old school dead trees. I've got to physically write the words or it doesn't stick.
In blessed Soviet People's Republic, letter M bans you.
Well that makes sense.
I see your pair of hounds and raise you a giant lutefisk.
Why can't the just engineer a smart, climate controlled secure outside box? A better mailbox?
Great idea. Hopefully it's large enough for a meth-crazed, rabid, bubonic-flea infested wombat. Don't ask; it's a family thing.
