The fundamental problem is a lack of liability. If a company gets lots of its data leaked, there's no real consequences. Companies do what makes them money. If data breaches cost them a lot of money, they'd work to avoid them. They'd buy insurance, and insurance companies are very good at assessing risk, so the company's insurance would be cheaper if they did a good job on security. At that point, it's a business expense to be balanced with others. If companies demanded secure hardware and software, they'd get it.
Operating systems and programs may be wrote in inherently less secure languages such as C/C++, and it may even be for good reasons, but buffer overruns may allow control of the program flow.
With modern C++, it's easy to enforce style rules that don't allow buffer overflow. Including C and C++ as if they were the same is incorrect.
The E-commerce you talk about is definitely interstate commerce, and definitely in the purview of the Federal government and not State governments. Whether your connection to an ISP should be considered interstate commerce is more debatable.
And aimed rifle shots weren't all that useful in WWII, and that trend has only continued. In a battle, you're unlikely to see someone you want to kill.
Are you saying that a taxi company should hire people with driving felonies on their record? Or do you think that a person with numerous DUI convictions should get a job as a professional driver? In this case, the government has requirements that the taxi companies screen such people out. Why do you consider that unreasonable?
One of the reasons the market economy works is that goods are required to be of reasonable quality. If I buy a gallon of milk, I need to know, without doing my own research, that this is indeed milk and doesn't contain poison. If putting poison in milk was legal, then I'd have to stick to a long-established company with a reputation for not poisoning milk, meaning that no startup milk company could succeed. Similarly, I need to know that a taxi driver doesn't have a history of being extremely dangerous on the road.
There's lots of jobs where being drunk on the job will result in bad performance. There's other jobs where being drunk on the job is likely to kill people. One of these categories is better for people with felony DUI convictions.
I'd say it's because we're closer to going Nazi. There's a lot of cultural differences, so militarist Japan isn't going to happen here. We're not going Communist. We're seeing an attempt at uncompromising one-party rule right now, complete with xenophobia, racism, and throwing sops to working people while giving big capitalists what they want.
I'm leaving Hitler in as contender for Worst Tyranny Ever. He didn't murder as many people as the Soviets or Chinese Communists, but he killed people at a greater rate, and simply didn't have the time before we took him down. I'd add militarist Japan in, but there's no one person to name as the leader there, so it tends to get overlooked in these comparisons.
Nazi ideology was a slapdash thing. It was always, *always* emotionally fraught.
It took me a long time to twig to that. I kept trying to analyze Nazi ideology in the same way I analyzed Communist ideology and Western ideology. Both of those are rational derivations from their premises (which are not equally accurate), while Nazi ideology was intentionally irrational.
It's not easy to read. Hitler's writing wanders often. You can see the connection from paragraph to paragraph, but not any connection between paragraph and the paragraph three down that you'd expect to see.
There's actually some insightful stuff in there, mixed in with brief excursions to the moral abyss.
As far as much of this discussion goes, there's talk about propaganda. A party has doctrine. Propaganda is not intended to teach that doctrine in any serious way, but to get people interested in it. Similarly, a brochure about an art show with thumbnail copies of the paintings is intended to lure people into the art show, not substitute for it. Doctrine will change over time, but it's important that the propaganda doesn't, so the masses get a consistent message.
What are you testing for? DO 10 I = 1, 10 was a common way of doing something ten times. DO 10 I = 1. 10 created a variable named DO10I, which was real, and assigned 1.1 to it, and then executed the following statements once. That wasn't always immediately obvious. Later languages assigned a meaning to whitespace, and when "implicit none" was added to the language that was an improvement.
National Socialism was originally a blend of nationalism and socialism. The socialists, in general, were murdered by the nationalists. They could have gotten away with nationalizing more, but it wasn't important to them. From an economic standpoint, it's capitalism, which is very compatible with right-wing authoritarianism.
Alternatively, people will develop some basic respect for others in their conversational styles. There's a difference between a lively and argumentative exchange of opinions and being an asshole.
The problem with ignoring diversity is that it tends to lock existing inequities in place; It's generally better to bring this stuff into the open so we can consider it, rather than keeping it as antiquated common sense.
Collectivist-individualist doesn't jibe well with left-right. The extremes of both left and right tend to be collectivist, although with different groupings. Workers-capital does better. The Nazi Germany economy, probably even in 1944 and 1945, was less centrally controlled than the US with the War Production Board. The money was making more money, not caring much about politics as long as it didn't interfere with profit. What social programs are you referring to? There were some for indoctrination.
Nope. He amassed a greater murder count because he had longer to do it in. In the Ukraine in early WWII, the Ukrainians were ready to be helpful to their German conquerors, but the Germans managed the great achievement of making Stalin look good in comparison.

"Net Neutrality" is crappy. "Common Carrier" is far more clear. The concept is the same, and is vitally needed, but the phrase "Net Neutrality" sucks.

That assumes they get there in the first place, past the freedom of religion clause in the First.

TFS did refer to felony convictions for reckless driving and DUI. Those are quite relevant for driving people around.

Reread what he said. Then see if you can get a refund from your elementary school that was supposed to teach you reading.

The US, by the same criteria, had a planned economy in wartime.

TL;DR: Slashdot poster acts as if trusting any word any Nazi said in public.

or PERL.
In other words, many Americans prefer to make up their history or get it from someone who made up history that fits their ideological prejudices.
Nationalism is right-wing. Authoritarianism is found in both left and right. Internationalism in some form is left-wing.
Actually, the reasons are more like attention to history and objective consideration.
Nazi Germany was not socialist. Read up on socialism. Read up on how Nazi Germany worked. Compare the two.
Alternately, notice that the Nazis had nationalist and socialist factions until the 30s, and note which was terminated very bloodily.
