How many of you had a deadline when you were a student and ended up having to crunch to get your paper written, homework done, test study etc. Planners aren't any more perfect than you.
Unless you planner is a college student with no formal experience or training in planning, then this is a poor comparison.
You are assuming this would only be used for military/covert comms. Based on the overview alone, I could see this being useful for tons of stuff.

>> 5. Limit the amount of ammunition you can buy at once for assault style weapons. A licensed gun range maybe able to get unlimited, but only for use at that range. If someone brings in the spent casings they can buy more.
I hear this, and similar, arguments often; you make this argument while at the same time, you are stating "require regular certification... Can you hit what you shoot at".
These are (somewhat) mutually exclusive. If i am to be capable of hitting what i shoot at, I need to practice. If i need to practice, I need enough ammo (that i can afford (via bulk buying rates, for example)).
Sure, this depends on the type of shooting, and the type of gun (long range practice doesn't usually use a ton of ammo, for example).
and yes, you could also just buy more ammunition while at the range, to have enough for your practice session, but this is then price limiting. When ranges switch to 'only range-bought ammo allowed', this is usually followed by price gouging.
Making ammo unreasonably expensive, or artificially supply limited is gating firearms only to wealthy or members of the good-old-boy's club.
My cost, after tax credits was about $12k. Since my electricity bill would be over $1,700/year (with A/C and electric cars), how long does it take to pay off? Even without the tax credits, it would pay off in less than 10 years (factor in some inflation of electricity prices, coming to you soon, courtesy of Trump's recent actions). The components all have warranties that are longer than 10 years.
If we assume a 20 year average life, that means that in 10 years you gained $17,000 (energy not paid for) and lost $6,000 (50% depreciation on your panels). So you are up $11,000.
I don't get your math. I think you are going under on the value, by subtracting panel cost/depretiation.
20 year life. at your rate would be 17k * 2. which is 34. minute 12k for the initial installation (who cares about depreciation, the panels have a base cost you are skipping) ==> 22k
then if you care about depreciation, or added value to home. then you add that on top, because you have paid for the panels. which could be another +6k ==> 28k total value.
and the panels could even keep producing. though, at 20 years the efficiency may have dropped by 10-20%.
Having recently talked with a solar installer; they claim that most of the cost of solar and most of the jobs in solar are not in the actual manufacturing of the panels themselves (which is apparently mostly robotic, which makes sense). It is with everything else around the panels (such as installation, which has to remain local).
And it's no different than those "low volume" flush toilets that you sometimes have to ring the handle a second (or third!) time to get them to empty the bowl properly.
You must have never used newer low volume toilets.
I will agree that 1st generate low-flow toilets were horrible (my parents have one installed, it is not great). They were just old-style toilets with less water, and they clogged more than the old ones (which still clogged and required double flushing).
I had some new toilets installed in a bathroom remodel 4 years ago; approx. 1.3 gal per flush. Never once have they clogged or needed plunging. Only rarely do they need a 2x flush. Better in every way than my old normal-flow toilets. Not sure how they do it - seems like more pressure during the flush, so maybe it just drops that 1.3 gallons through a thicker pipe.

"Locking" information via ciphers, codes, and steganography existed long before the Constitution. I would assume that the autors of the document were aware that these things existed.
Explain to me how exactly the technological solution to this works?
Technical solution is super easy -- probably already exists:
Contract with 3rd party ad servers. Create or use an API for service ads and for receiving tracking info. Send tracking info to Advert service. Advert service sends back appropriate ad to search engine.
Google/Bing makes money via %% of ad revenue or fixed rate. Ad company makes money via %% of ad revenue or fixed rate.... so, works same as it is now, except no in-house ad serving and would need a shared API (or to support multiple APIs based on vendor). Then the ad ranking would be unlinked from internal ad house -- based on something else, like if you give Bing more money, they rank your ads higher than someone else's ads.
Better yet, explain how it would benefit ANYBODY.
How do ads help anybody? its just questionable in itself. I guess it spreads more money among more people and exposes more private data to more people.
Since it would force the search-engine companies to share their tracking data with 3rd-party ad servers. Only benefit here is that the public would become more aware of how much search engines track.
I don't know original argument, I suppose it could be that Google (or Microsoft) could push its own products in its own engine to the top of the list at a cheaper cost-per-ad than a thirdparty ad provider; or preventing the lockout of thirdparty ad providers.
Not saying this is good or bad, but these questions don't raise any barriers to forcing search / ad code to be owned by separate entities.
If I have to know that a particular system is using systemd in order to invoke "screen" correctly, somebody's design is totally broken.
That is just silly. I suppose you would have fiercely resisted when Telnet was kicked out in favor of ssh too since it had new syntax.
Change is just part of tech. Get used to it.
Your given analogy is bad.
Telnet is a program that still exists today, and still works like Telnet. When SSH became the standard, programs using Telnet did not break; software using Telnet did not need to be re-coded immediately due to an OS update. Programs using Telnet still work today.
Your jedi mind trick has worked, redirecting the discussion to specifics about a single franchise instead of the concept as a whole; So, ignoring all the weak minded fools who are latching on the "I'm looking at you star wars", as opposed to answering the question "Missing... with a laser weapon"...
I have no issue with any dumb-fire weapon missing its target. Any manually aimed weapon system can miss, handheld systems would be even more prone to this. It can be explained away with user error (bad aim, bad grip, bad trigger control) or equipment malfunction (rough trigger, poor sighting system), or both. Even with the weapon's discharge outpacing the movement of its target, the operator still must aim and fire the weapon correctly.

Would you watch a stream of programmers typing on their keyboards? No, because it's pointless.
Humans watch other humans playing sports because they're too fucking lazy to play sports themselves.
Oh, "for the teams", you say? That's tribalism, meaning you have the same brain processes as cavemen.
