"I told them that I won't pay the bill,'' Gerbus said. "I can either wait until they take it to a collection agency or when they take it to court. Either way, my credit history will be ruined. I can go bankrupt here.''
It might be wise to consider (or threaten) suing first. Lawsuits bring you to the front of the bureaucracy line, and can resolve the issue without bankruptcy.
The article is kind of useless, it doesn't say what technology is being used to block websites.
This article is a little better. The government keeps a central database of websites that should be blocked (or sometimes just individual pages, from what I understand).
Each ISP (or network operator) is required to download the database of blocked pages, and get updates every day. Many of the ISPs don't have real filtering capability, so they just block the website at the IP level. If they don't block the content (and some don't), then they get a fine.
Better economy, huge job gains, good stock market performance. Scaled down the wars. No new ones. Not batshit crazy.
When you first started listing stuff, I thought you were listing more stupid propaganda techniques that typically work on people with no memories and understanding. The president doesn't control the economy, mate, and they all started new wars.
If government existed to do what is Right and Good, we never would have had slavery.
Government exists to represent (in some sense or another) the collective will of the people. The collective will of the people is not always a good thing.
As for roads specifically, Eisenhower supported the road system as a way to improve military transport. Other roads (such as the avenues of the saints) was built to improve commerce (which you call 'good profit reason'). Maybe some road in the world was built because it was Right or Good, but I don't know of any such road.
Yeah. I kind of list the 'richness' levels like this:
1) Rich enough to not have to work ever again. This is baseline.
2) Rich enough to own a private jet. That way you don't need to fly commercial ever again.
3) Rich enough to own your own planet.
4) Rich enough to own your own galaxy (or the energy from it)

No, a hypercomputer is a thing, but certainly not the only thing.
For example, we perceive the world as being logical.....but our logic system is based on axioms, it isn't a proven thing. Perhaps our brains understanding of logic limits us, just as a being based on a finite automata would be limited by its 'worldview' to not even conceive things beyond.
Because so far every model of hypercomputation requires something non physical. I
Isn't that an argument from ignorance? You are saying we can't think of anything better than a Turing machine, so something better must not exist. Despite the fact that you admit we don't understand the brain either......your argument is based on intuition that the brain must be a computer. Which seems like a reasonable intuition, and it is a good working hypothesis, but don't confuse it with fact.
As far as we know, all computing systems are essentially equivalent for various definitions of equivalent. I think at this point you'd want research to show they're not equivalent.
No, this is not true. There are various types of computation machines: single stack machines, dual stack machines, finite automata...etc
A single stack machine cannot solve problems that a Turing machine can solve, for example (although a dual stack machine can), and a finite automata can't even understand itself.
Thus we have examples of systems that can't understand themselves. How can you be certain that our brain is any different? Right now, you can't be certain.
In fairness, on June 17th when Powell said that Trump was "in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him," that was actually true. Since then Trump has managed to levelize and maintain some discipline, but in June it was like watching a sinking ship and the captain bailing water in.
The immediate result of the hack has been political fallout for Powell himself.
The guy who has no political aspirations? Nah, he's untouchable politically because he has no ambition. He is like the Buddha of US politics: having no desires, he feels no pain at loss.

Oh really!
What ecological niche do humans fill?
With the addition of tri-point screws, many iPhone 7 repairs will require up to four different types of drivers.

There is no president who wouldn't have an excellent economy if he had a choice.

If you find any political slogans that I've forgotten, let us know. The midget!
Whenever I see a slogan like that, I think of Oh Brother Where Art Thou? The politician is going to sweep them out of office! Bring real change!
It's an old political slogan.

That's a good question.
But how the hell would any of us know that when the journalists covering this story apparently get their information from packs of pudding?
That is true of almost every news article everywhere.
If we thought of that more often, we would argue less.

There is no limit.
You can blame other people if you want,
but I still blame you.

the daughter is a hypersensitive, unsympathetic, thoughtless, self-absorbed twit.
....who learned it from her parents. It's a family issue gone to court.
I'm no expert, but it sounds like you're experiencing emotional distress. What course of action could be prescribed in this situation?
No, a hypercomputer is a thing, but certainly not the only thing.

What do you think brains broken down to neurons do? Magic?
Maybe. It's a sufficiently advanced technology.
Doesn't he have enough money? lol

I don't think there is any organization that would spend $20M for this kind of exploit. You made that number up.
