    While they have that information, given call volumes it isn't exactly realistic to use a database lookup to provide it.

    And that's why DNS cannot possibly work with today's volume of lookups.

    what do you do about VOIP?

    The VOIP company should provide the same lookup information to the phone company they connect to.

    When you make a call, if you don't own the number you're pretending to be, your phone company should not allow the phone call to go through. Done.

    In other words, you're being played, and the oil executes secretly laugh at you as they cash their massive paychecks.

    Thank you for supporting the repeal of laws that make housing more expensive including but not limited to: mandatory solar installations, building height limits, minimum parking requirements, minimum setbacks, maximum floor area ratios, minimum dwelling unit sizes, prohibitions against accessory dwelling units, and single-use "Euclidean" zoning.

    The autonomous programming detects items around the vehicle and operators fine-tune its sensitivity to make sure it only reacts to true threats (solid objects instead of bags, for example).

    Then it's an easy fix. Just move the "sensitivity" slider a little to the left.

    Actually, it's kind of terrifying that all that stands between life and death is a sensitivity setting.

  11. Of course, California would have less debt if it were its own country, since Federal tax money is constantly taken from CA and used to support red states.

    That's absolutely true.

    In those same areas, how much are rents inflated by minimum parking requirements, minimum setbacks, maximum floor area ratios, and height limits? I suspect that Airbnb is a drop in the bucket compared to these other sources of increased construction costs and limits on housing supply.

    According to that TOS, it was a copyright violation for the ISP to transmit the data from Microsoft to Lundgren.

    This presents an interesting way for ISPs to get around net neutrality. "We can't allow Netflix on our network because we don't have a license to retransmit their data. Here, try our VOD service."

  24. Hm, you may be right. Socialism is public ownership of the means of production, while private ownership but government control of the means of production is actually dirigism which is closely associated with fascism. Thanks for the correction!

  25. A lot of environmentalists are fine if the jobs disappear. People, too.

    Environmentalists aren't the only NIMBYs. In my area, ordinary people block development, even things environmentalists want such as density and transit.

    It's amazing how quickly you can turn people who claim to value property rights into raging socialists simply by suggesting change. (Even though the only thing constant is change, as they say.)
