I'd like to see if such a compact (passed as state law) passes constitutional muster, since it essentially (as noted) eliminates the electoral college.
However, It seems that Article II, Section 1 allows this: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors
So if the state legislatures decide that their electors must vote in accordance with popular vote, it seems that this is "as the Legislature thereof may direct", and therefore be constitutional, end-run though it may be.
It would be interesting to see how those "original intent" people feel about such an end-run.
And here, now, is why those "Oh we won't use them THAT way" extralegal powers approved for the "War" on Drugs, and the "War" on Terror are so fucking dangerous.
We have a man as President-Elect, who has shown that he has a short temper, holds a grudge against his political enemies, has shown questionable self-control in the past, etc... You'd better hope that he doesn't use all those lovely extralegal powers to punish his domestic enemies.
What part of "Voluntarily" does this asshole not understand?
I am aware that Google and FB use the data I provide. I am aware that by using their service, I am the product and not the customer. I know what I am handing them.
On the other hand, I am a *CUSTOMER* of the ISP, not the product. I am ***PAYING*** them for the line. I have no idea what data they are harvesting and selling.
If this asshat can't understand the difference, maybe he should just go get some cheese for his whine.
It's a well known exponential curve, that apparently needs to be re-learned for every "new technology".
A bug found during requirements analysis has a cost to fix of 1 A bug found during high level design has a cost to fix of 10 A bug found during detailed design has a cost to fix of 100 A bug found during coding/unit test has a cost to fix of 1000 A bug found during system test has a cost to fix of 10000 A bug found in production has a cost to fix of 100000
What about professionals who are bound by disclosure laws?
In particular, I'm thinking HIPAA. Given the telemetry in Win10 that cannot be disabled (except in Enterprise, and no small office will buy that), they legally can NOT use Windows 10.

Yeah, they need to describe it in standard units...
Like Olympic sized swimming pools for volume, or football fields for the surface area involved.
Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!!!
Yeah, but Chromebook is ARM, not x86
Can't do Chromebook. Need to run Win7 in a VM for work purposes.
Just a note: the reason I mentioned those three brands (or models) specifically, is that they come preinstalled with a Linux distro.
I'm looking for a Linux laptop (key word -- LAPTOP)
I'm considering the XPS 13 Developer Edition, as well as Zareason and System76.
Battery life is more important to me than ultra-high performance.
Suggestions?
Pardon me. Two major dental schools.
UCLA - undergrad
Northwestern - Dental
Temple - Ortho
I kept adding UCLA into the mix.
My current GF (who is, of all things, an orthodontist) is into this shit. She's trying to get me off of my meds and onto "red rice yeast".
You'd think that someone who went to three major dental schools would know better.
They'll then work to ensure women have the vote everywhere, to form Suffragette City!!
Requirements defect. Carried forward into design, etc...
I'm a 10th level Vice President!
I meant the Circuits predate the "modern" EC.
Timeline:
1. EC (original Constitution)
2. Circuit Courts (1st Congress)
3. 12th Amendment (modern EC)
That said, it predates the *modern* EC, which derives from the 12th Amendment.
Article II Section 1 predates that Act, since the Constitution was ratified in 1787.
Really, Bruce?
Article II Section 1 was introduced at the same time as the Circuit Courts?

What are the telcos offering in exchange for the data they want to collect?

Your comment makes it clear that, once more, Betteridge's Law of Headlines is completely correct.
And the legendary Canadian politeness strikes again!!!!
Thank you, c-A-d!!!
Which makes it about the right timeline for the Slashdot front page...
