I'm not sure what planet you are living on, but on this one the telemarketers/scammers are making big money. They only need a very tiny percentage of successful calls to make money. I don't see that changing any time soon.
A consumer wouldn't know what call center to complain about to the FCC. If the consumers knew that information they would probably burn the places down.
I know why people like you do it. There are lots of "valid" reasons to spoof. I don't care. You need to figure out some other method. The entire system is non-functional at this point, so we need to take drastic measures.
I don't think call centers care about more regulations, they already ignore the ones in place. There would need to be a technical solution. We would need to get rid off spoofing numbers. The arguments for spoofing aren't good enough to allow the system to be abused.
Completely different. It uses IBM Watson to fill out the form for you. And that is AI, as well all know. TurboTax just uses regular old boring programming to fill out forms.
It isn't really for suing. It is for challenging tickets, etc in small claims court by pre-filling out forms for you. The app developer is good at marketing though.
Actually you need to fill in the details, then it fills out and downloads a form for you, then you need to print it out, then you need to submit it to the courthouse, then you need to appear in court. But the downloading step requires you to push a button. The AI does the rest. Except for the filling in the details, downloading, printing out the form, submitting to the courthouse and appearing in the courthouse. The AI does pre fill out the form for you though. Pretty amazing stuff.
I just tried to download it (I am thinking of suing people). Unfortunately my iPhone is a 4s and it needs iOS 11.0. How can I sue anyone if I can't even afford to upgrade my 4s? Truly the system is stacked against people like me.
It works great. They have fifth largest installed capacity on the planet. So not sure why "it is too cloudy" means it doesn't work well. Are you not supposed to install solar if you get clouds in your country? I wasn't aware.
Correct. But in 2018, wishful thinking has become reality. The reality is that coal and oil will be around for many decades and their use will increase, not decrease. I know, reality bites.
Solar works great in Germany. In fact Germany is fifth in installed solar capacity. Not sure what you are talking about. But Germany still loves their coal. That is why they have been increasing their carbon output.
"Assuming that the cost of renewables continues to evolve in line with current trends"
Yeah. That ain't going to be true. Even countries like Germany are having a hard time moving away from coal, which is why their carbon emissions output rose last year, and will again this year.
Wow, I didn't know that slavery suddenly doesn't exist now. Good tip. I'm not sure what the point is of you nutjobs. Are you saying get rid of border controls?
So you are claiming that border control does nothing, and the result would be exactly the same even if we got rid of all border controls across the world? Except for the tunnels of course, they would no longer be needed because people could freely walk across the border.

Exactly. Spoofing numbers is no longer needed. Businesses need to figure it out if their business "needs" to spoof. It isn't our problem.
A consumer wouldn't know what call center to complain about to the FCC. If the consumers knew that information they would probably burn the places down.
Then the women would take over call centers.

Thanks for the advice. What could possibly go wrong?

Good thinking. I should get all my advice from Slashdot from now on.

Why do you bring up China and America? No one mentioned them. Are you upset over something?
Correct. But in 2018, wishful thinking has become reality. The reality is that coal and oil will be around for many decades and their use will increase, not decrease. I know, reality bites.

That must be why the EU has been increasing their carbon emissions lately: https://reason.com/blog/2018/0...
Really? Germany gets 25% of their energy from coal. China is building new coal plants. What reality are you talking about?
"Assuming that the cost of renewables continues to evolve in line with current trends"
Yeah. That ain't going to be true. Even countries like Germany are having a hard time moving away from coal, which is why their carbon emissions output rose last year, and will again this year.
I follow all those rules. I also make my own soap.
"It's about failure to acknowledge that countries are often built on the backs of ... and until recently, slaves"
Hate to break it to you, but that is still true even today.
What is funny is how passport/identity stories bring out the incoherent crackpots.
Wow, I didn't know that slavery suddenly doesn't exist now. Good tip. I'm not sure what the point is of you nutjobs. Are you saying get rid of border controls?

I guess it depends on what is verifying your passport, a person, or software.
