WTF is unclear about "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"???
I fully understand the rationale for the NY law in question, and I agree that it makes sense and is probably a good idea. But holy shit is it absolutely unconstitutional. You can't override the first amendment with state law.
So if my kids are trouble and they need to contact me, your suggestion is that they call me at the concert or venue.
Yes, that's exactly how we did it in the old days before mobile phones. Name and phone number of the venue posted by the kitchen phone. If the kids aren't capable of making that call then they should have a babysitter.
Then there is the problem of the helpful "staff" as you call them finding me in a sea of other people.
Pause the show, make announcement over the PA system. Remember, this is in case of emergency.
The point of the GPL is to make the code free, not the coders.
No, the GPL was designed to ensure the freedom of users to modify and adapt software for their own particular needs. It does nothing to ensure the author's freedom, or the code's freedom, whatever that might mean.
It was a typo. Spec called for "inorganic" kitty litter" and a spec revision accidentally changed it to "organic". Nobody had any reason for changing it, neither cost-cutting nor green-washing. It was just a dumb accident.
More than that, in recognition of the mentioned inalienable human rights (not granted-to-citizens rights) the Constitution explicitly prohibits certain actions by the US government. Those prohibitions apply to the US government everywhere in the world, with respect to all human beings, not just citizens.
The key here is that if a disembodied eyeball or corpse can be used, it creates an incentive to kill or mutilate someone with sufficiently important info on their phone. So even while that person is alive and well, this phone adds to their worries.
Even if you don't use the feature, an attacker might assume you do. Even if your phone doesn't have the feature, an attacker might try it anyway. Thanks, Samsung (et al).
SRAM cells are typically 6T (6 transistor) designs, so if your CPU has 16MB of cache, that's 96M transistors right there and then just in the storage array.
That would be 768M transistors, if anybody actually used 6T SRAM for a 16MB cache. (Do they? I see that CPU transistor counts are up over 2e9 now. Whew!)
It's not even too late to mitigate the breach, or at least it wasn't when they were busy composing that mealy-mouthed non-apology. They could have taken the entire site offline, deleted all user accounts, and sanitized all user account info from the comment database. Then go back online and require all users to start over with new accounts. But they clearly don't take user privacy that seriously.
Fortunately, by next year all encryption algorithms will be required by law to have back doors for law enforcement, so if you get hit by one of these crypto ransomware attacks you can just go to the nearest police station and get your files decrypted.

The law isn't against taking a photo. It's against publishing a photo. That is definitely "the press".

I reconcile my inherent selfishness with the long term good by planning to live 1000 years.

That's like naming a place "Beijing-ia" or "Tamil Nadu-ia"
Or Portlandia.
Oh, and my Toyota will go into fucking neutral just fine at highway speeds
Manual transmission? Their automatic would probably lock up along with the throttle and brake when the controller crashes.
Then the courts fucked up. The letter and spirit of the law are crystal clear. Inalienable human rights are inalienable, for humans.
If we went back in time to when there only was 28 domains,
... long before the web was invented ...
I'd bet you a Mars Bar that there were only 28 websites.
... and you would lose your Mars Bar, because there were no websites at all.

I believe it really is a sentence structure that just isn't used much, if at all.

New operating systems are great. Lennart and his friends should go ahead and write one.
Troll? Really? Mind-boggling.

How is "coin washing" not "money laundering"?

Nothing can compare to Batman: The Movie.
I'll put a dollar on NewsCorp buying them. The infotainment industry loves the shit out of Twitter.

16 MB * 8 b/B * 6 T/b = 768 MT

More empowered children
To be fair to Judge Judy, I mean Lucy, she was just relaying the clerk's unhappiness. Maybe she thinks the clerk is a crybaby too.
