Yes, we should clean up after ourselves and not leave a toxic waste dump for the generations to come, yes, we should limit toxic emissions that can hurt our atmosphere and the air we breath but as it relates to climate changing it's time to adapt to a changing environment rather than trying crazy experiments to "cool" the planet because as the sci-fi geo-engineering joke goes... this is how the world will end. Large scale focused human meddling with the atmosphere/climate will never end well.... we don't even begin to really understand all of the facets of what makes our climate such that pretty much all weather and climate models are desperately incomplete so any one measure or group of measures could still have serious unforeseen consequences.
It's not about politics, it's about a federal law enforcement organization enforcing the laws of this country... It's their job and the whole purpose of their existence. It isn't their job to write laws, that's what congress does, if you don't like it lobby congress rather than complaining about ICE?
So here's the thing, I will believe that this was a real problem or caused any change in the vote if you can find me a single conservative that ever, in a million years, even considered voting for Hillary Clinton. Were their propaganda campaigns? Sure... Did they sway voters that were rabid about Hilary to vote for Trump or vice versa, not a chance. They didn't even sway me, in the middle from voting for a third party candidate, which was my intention all along. The crowds voting for these people are so ideologically opposed to one another's general philosophy, that there was no chance that this changed the outcome of our election.
Desalinization from melting ice, slowed currents, things up north and far south start freezing solid when the currents aren't carrying warm water from the center to them, earth slides into an ice age.... isn't that what they said just a few years ago?
When, are we going to lean toward the idea that we are responsible for ourselves rather than trying to blame something, someone, etc for everything that we do or every problem that we encounter? At some point we have to show personal responsibility and say maybe it isn't this thing that causes the problem, maybe it's what I choose to do with it or how I choose to use it. Sure, if you eat 10 cheeseburgers you get fat, but if you eat one or two, no so much.... and just like that, you have the capacity to turn off your internet connected devices.
It's funny, because all of the people making all of our data available to the government and to all of their internal processes and partners also oppose Donald trump...
How many people does it take to sit around a board room and say "yes, we are all for privacy as long as you aren't keeping things private from us"... then a round of "harrumph harrumph".... Then they agree to make the data available between the members of their group and in all outward facing meetings appear adversarial about sharing information with anyone;)
Ok, you got past the clickbait..... basically my answer is why should it be subsidized by anyone, UNLESS, they have a vested interest in seeing changes/core features added to whichever part of the software that they are particularly interested in...... so the answer is.... the people working on the projects in their spare time for fun, do it as long as it's fun for them, and when it isn't, when it starts feeling like a job, either find someone that values your contributions and get them to pay you to work on it, or stop and do something else.
The whole point of meditation is to bring your total focus into the current moment, the here and now, and to help you understand that you are complete and whole in that moment.... that you don't NEED anything.
So doesn't it make sense that something trains you to feel complete in the moment and helps you understand that you don't need to be somewhere else or to collect more things would make you feel less motivation to work harder for no reason in order to chase and acquire more things?
It's obvious, people aren't learning anymore and committing things to memory. They just rely on their electronic devices to answer every question without actually going to the process of acquiring knowledge that stays with them.... so less brain exercise = lower IQ.
So people are making a huge deal out of this but the reality is, no matter what Georgia state authorizes in terms of retaliatory action, etc, most attacks originate from outside of the state or outside of the country and if a company launched a retaliatory attack across state lines or even country boundaries it would be in federal jurisdiction not state, so this bill would be a moot point.
This sounds hokey, but I'm serious. If we create something that can learn on it's own it would eventually, even if we prevented it, be able to rewrite at least some of it's own routines and safeguards, even though that we didn't, necessarily, want it to be able to overwrite. As humans we are limited by our hardware capacity but as code running in "the cloud" able to allocate more resources to the growth of it's "mind" or even just to rewrite it's own code to be more efficient than a human would have been able to do it could grow and develop exponentially and potentially access everything the particular network or the internet has to offer to expand it's "mind"
Combine that with millions of internet connected moving devices, industrial robots, etc...... even if it isn't sentient, even if it is just glitchy and smart it doesn't sound like a good time for humanity.
They're extracting your data and using it against you. What if your data isn't your data. What if the things you like and argue about aren't really things that you care about? The answer is that it screws up their data about you. Now what happens if every 20 year old boy is a 73 year old woman on facebook?... Their valuation plummets.
Isn't that bit obvious? Most adults in the US and even most teens have smart phones and even if they don't realize it their smartphone is constantly online for everything from their visual voicemail to their questions for siri to call a contact.
This isn't news, this is just silliness.The idea that someone is complaining because they were stupid enough to buy or build a house at or near sea
level at the edge of an ocean makes me think that we have even more stupid people living on this rock than I thought.....

I mean, am I the only one that didn't assume that calling 911 would already be tripping and sending GPS data?

Yes, it's called quartz, you apply a current, it "ticks" in a very precise interval .... OMG.

Story from last year maybe? This certainly isn't new.

All of these upgrades ... AC wireless and gigabit ethernet totally wasted by piping it over USB2

And the rest think it will destroy the world :D
Where was the option "this is a federal crime" just say no ;)
