Most events, and the airport, will let you in with your empty reusable water bottle. Fill it from the water fountain once you get in. The last few airports I've been in even had the wall-mounted bottle filling stations.
I do this when flying, and the rules for the stadium of the local national league baseball team say it's permitted as well. Take your _empty_ reusable bottle and fill it up from the drinking fountain once you get past security.
I'll agree that "every" is an absolute term, and absolutes are rarely true. It will not be true in this case, because sites I run won't use it.
Just because there is quality information available now is no guarantee that it will be in the future. How about, most sites that have a revenue generating aspect will adopt this? WWW users have been playing the cat and mouse game with advertisers for years, this has the capability to give advertisers and others that would seek to control and track site usage quite a strong advantage.
You think EME version 2.0 won't be able to encrypt source code next?
This guy gets it. Entire sites will be considered copyrighted media. Don't load the plugin? All you get is "Sorry, your browser is not compatible with this site." with some links to download Firefox, Chrome, and IE.
Think about how this is going to apply to the general web, not just streaming netflix and hulu in a web browser. Pretty soon every website is going to have a DRM component to "protect their IP". That means ad-blockers, noscript, flashblock, firebug, and any other plugin that is used to modify the functionality, display, or control the loading of content from third parties is going to be worthless.
The DRM plugin will force the full volume flash ads, and malware-laden click-the-monkey crap served up by an ad network. Sites will become channels, with their DRM required to view the content; ads, videos, and all. You're non-EME browser will simply display a message that it's not compatible with the site.
The web hasn't changed here, your non-EME-compatible browser can still access stuff.

ROFLMA! It's in the interest of middle to lower class Americans to lower taxes on the rich and corporations, gut social and medical assistance programs, and nearly double spending on imperial militarism?
I get that part about being tired of politics as usual, but anyone that thought Trump was going to actually do something about it wasn't paying attention. There seems to be some expectation of going back to the good parts of 1950s America, without getting the parts they consider undesirable. Manufacturing jobs that earn enough for 1 person to support a family aren't coming back.
We're better off without the institutional racism, sexism, and homophobia of that time. But e'd probably be doing better with the highly progressive taxation schedules of the same era.
liberals scaremongering... ad hominems being the dominant form of discourse... acquaintances screaming on Facebook
The same tactics are coming from the other side. Conservatives that want more military and police action against terrorists and protestors, calling anyone that complains about anything, or needs any kind of social assistance whatsoever a special snowflake or social leech, UNFRIEND ME IF YOU SUPPORT OBAMA/HILLARY/BERNIE. It's all just the other side of the same coin.
I don't know how to do it, but until the US finds some way to stop the polarization thats happening, it's just going to get worse. Our voting system that is setup in a way that leads to the 2-party system, and everyone hanging out in their internet echo chamber of choice are causing us to lose the ability to compromise and work together. The ruling oligarchy has to be laughing their asses off at the in-fighting they've created amongst the lower and middle classes and how they've convinced the "conservative" faction of the same to fight AGAINST what's really in their best interest because they're all really temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
I'm sure Microsoft is a huge hacker target. It'll be interesting when they get hacked and we find out the real extent of their snooping and data gathering, which is sure to include plenty of user credentials and encryption keys.
I wonder what the relationship status (single, married, complicated) the people this is going out to have set. Knowing that would give a clue as to whether this was supposed to be a dating tool, or just some push to get you meeting up with people IRL.
I am interested in your program/plugin/extension, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
But seriously, I would use a plugin that clicked ads in the background. I would pledge bandwidth and join a botnet that spent all day long clicking on every random ad on the internet. Someone needs to make this a real thing.
A VPN stops the carrier from knowing anything about your browser history. Can the VPN provider then sell your history? Of course they can. If you are using a free VPN, you can be guaranteed that they are selling your data to be able to provide the service.
If you pay for VPN service, and so some research about the service ahead of time, you can theoretically not have your browser history sold.
According to E=mc2, all matter contains energy, yet all matter is not converted to energy by the human body. You can eat water, glass, carpet, or a tin can, and the only weight you will gain is the weight of the object consumed. It's almost as if the human body doesn't convert everything put into it into the equivalent amount of energy. Even more interesting, the body does need water to function, even though energy isn't extracted from it.
it's not hard to just not shove food down your gullet
Actually, after overeating for a long time, it can be difficult to change. With dedication, both the mind and body can adapt to the decreased amount of food consumed. It's possible to eat at a level that maintains a healthy body weight, while still consuming calorie dense foods, alcohol, and sweets. It requires a long term change in how you think about food and eating, not a short term diet.
Too many people think there is some magic 6 week plan to drop and keep off weight, and it just doesn't work like that. I don't understand why anyone could think that going back to the eating habits that made them overweight in the first place won't lead to them gaining weight again.
I did ran a caloric deficit of approximately 500/day for over a year, lost over 60 lbs, and have kept it off 2 years later. I bought a scale, and weighed almost everything that I ate for the first few months. Note how I phrased it differently. Dieting is not an answer, permanent change of your eating habits is. If you go back to eating how you used to after whatever goal is achieved, you will go back to the same body as well. Did restricting calories cause severe pain and distress, no. Did I feel hungry at times, especially for the first month or so, YES. Over time, your body and your brain begin to adapt. Your stomach will get smaller, you'll start feeling full with less consumption, and your brain will learn that you don't have to feel stuffed to know that it's time to quit eating. I used to be able to eat half a large pizza. I have a hard time getting a third piece down now.
Human bodies are simple calorimeter devices. There can be some variation, but unless you are in the group of less than 1% of people with a severe medical condition, that variation can be observed and understood via honestly monitoring intake and weight. I added honestly, because it seems a lot of people fail to accurately measure the amount they consume, and fail to count a lot of small items that add up to significant amount of calories over time. Creamer or sugar in your coffee or tea, that candy or snack in the break room at work, a handful of chips as your doing something in the kitchen, that extra 1/2 scoop of whatever at dinner? They all count, and at the end of the day/week/month, they add up.
The weight gain from a glass of water is temporary and limited in scope. Drink a gallon of water and you will excrete most of it. Drink a pound of water, you'll gain a pound, for a short time. Eating lots of carbs will also caused increased water retention. Eat less carbs, and the water goes away too.
Calories and Joules are both measures of energy content, only one of them is a measure of energy content that is useable within animals. Plutonium has energy in Joules too, but no calories. I'd not recommend you try eating it, but if you ate a pound of it, you would only gain a pound. Eat a pound of pecans or macadamia nuts, which would have somewhere around 3200 calories, and you could gain around.9 pounds.
How much longer before companies like Facebook and Twitter decide an election?
Somewhere between -1 and -9 years. I'm sure they've been deliberately influencing them for much longer. They both have programs that assist politicians in targeting ads and news to voters. Quick searches turn up open use of Facebook helping politicians.
Google will help deliver theirmessage too.
Fair enough, even if you are stretching the concept of "nearly double" a bit (15.88% vs 27.42%). Management of medicare could be improved greatly, just like most government spending, including defense. Until some solution to regulatory capture and quid pro quo deals is found, making any serious headway will be difficult. According to the Kaiser Foundation
The ACA included reductions in Medicare payments to plans and providers, increased revenues, and introduced delivery system reforms that aimed to improve efficiency and quality of patient care and reduce costs, including accountable care organizations (ACOs), medical homes, bundled payments, and value-based purchasing initiatives.
At least some improvement is being attempted.
Sometimes I really wonder if you guys really do just leave your heads in the sand intentionally.
That's some nice back-handed name calling there. It really contributes to the discussion./s.
Thanks lumping me in with whoever you define "you guys" as, and for contributing to the us vs. them paradigm that does nothing but divide people. I'm fine with looking at a statement critically and adjusting it to new or previously unseen facts, but I also have learned that most commenters on the internet are neither willing to do that or expecting of others to.
I'm not sure if you are serious or trolling, so here we go.
moment we cut back defense the world screams that we're the global hegemon and when we refuse to do our job then wars break out all over.
Well, a lot of the world already sees the advance of the American hegemon. It a big part of the reason most of the Middle East hates the US. There are already wars breaking out all over, and often the US is (overtly or covertly) arming one or both sides and stirring the pot at the same time.
American selfishness: healthcare for your own people and fuck everyone else. Seriously, fiber to the home is somehow more important than world peace.... Vile and deplorable.
I know, right? Why would Americans want to make America better, when they can play America: World Police? Fuck Yeah! The only world peace that current American foreign policy will get to is the one where they've crushed any country with enough money or power to upset the apple cart if they slip out from under the thumb of the US. Americans will be convinced that it's world peace, don't expect the rest of the world to believe it.
I understand what Hillary was talking about now.
Not sure what cancer coming out of her mouth you're talking about. If you're trying to associate anything I say with any policy she advocated, you're just making things up. AFAIR, she was all for continuing the march towards the goal of "One Earth, One America, with liberty and justice for the oligarchs".
I'd love to avoid some of that. Then maybe there would be something in the budget for infrastructure and health care. Instead of spending money on things that build the economy (healthy workers; roads, bridges, bike lanes and fibre broadband to the home for them to get to work or transport the result of work), we build up and arm enemies and build weapons with which to blow them up.
Import? You can get it on amazon, multiple brands from multiple vendors. Bad Dragon, and others, make adult toys that shoot the stuff out. From the description

they won't sneakily connect to the internet without your knowing
What's stopping a manufacturer from putting a 3G cell transceiver in, and connecting without using any of your network resources? It's what all the hip car companies are doing nowadays. Try buying anything but a base model Chevrolet today that doesn't have ONSTAR buried so deep into the system that the car probably wouldn't work if you managed to disable it.

forever avoiding the 'common defense' part
About one-sixth of federal spending goes to national defense. The US accounts for around 1/3 of all military spending on planet earth, and more than the next 7-8 countries combined, depending on how you count.
I'd love to avoid some of that. Then maybe there would be something in the budget for infrastructure and health care. Instead of spending money on things that build the economy (healthy workers; roads, bridges, bike lanes and fibre broadband to the home for them to get to work or transport the result of work), we build up and arm enemies and build weapons with which to blow them up.
This is going to end up destroying the developing market for cell connected IOT devices.
I guess it's not all bad then.
