"If you tax someone who makes $50k at an effective rate of 10% and someone who makes $150k at an effective rate of 20%"
Why stop there? Even if the rate is the same, the person earning more still pays more. Do they get additional government services for their greater payment? How about property taxes? Subsidies/tax breaks which go to one industry, but not another?
"Equal protection" is tricky. There are lots of cases where entities are treated differently. When the President comes to town, they shut down highways and give him a police escorted motorcade to and from the airport. I don't get that, even if I'm late for my flight.
Vermont's response can be a simple "We impose this requirement on the largest provider, so all providers are treated equally. If you give up market share so you're not the largest provider, then the burden would shift. It's not specific to Comcast."
I'm gonna go with NASA and AAS over an AC with no references on this one:
Experts suggests that one widely available filter for safe solar viewing is welders glass of sufficiently high number. The only ones that are safe for direct viewing of the Sun with your eyes are those of Shade 12 or higher.
Amazon recalled some glasses which they believed to be counterfeit. Amazon has also said that customers who did not receive an email purchased glasses that were safe to use. The plaintiffs did not receive an email. Reading the suit, it doesn't make any claim that counterfeit glasses were received, but rather that they got glasses made by American Paper Optics, a reputable vendor according to the American Astronomical Society.
Further, the plaintiffs claim eye damage, but offer no evidence, not even a claim to have seen an ophthalmologist.
I smell some bloodsucking lawyers and plaintiffs trying to scam a big payoff.
It's a very short article, based on a very simplistic premise, which produced nothing new. OTOH, it was a marketing opportunity which somehow counts as "News for Nerds."
DVR doesn't mean what he thinks it means. He's talking about IP cameras. He says it's an "Anrai" in one place, an "Anrain" in another, Google says it's probably an "Anran."
He claims "Traffic from the DVR outbound was blocked by the firewall to prevent it from infecting other systems." But, of course, if that were true then the camera wouldn't be able to create a telnet session.
This, from someone claiming to be "Ph.D., Dean of Research, SANS Technology Institute?" A quick search says "The SANS Technology Institute is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education...", which is itself a DBA for a corporation created in 2013.
OK, so they're the successor to ITT Tech, but without the reputation.
Whoosh. It's still not email. Provide a link saying "contract us" instead. And how are you going to respond?
HIPAA (not "HIPPA") places restrictions on providers ("covered entitites"), not patients. And, replying to a patient's email via email is not prohibited.
Patients may initiate communications with a provider using e-mail. If this situation occurs, the health care provider can assume (unless the patient has explicitly stated otherwise) that e-mail communications are acceptable to the individual.
And what are the property taxes IA is giving incentives on? A quick search says "The state's average effective property tax rate is 1.44%". So, that $1.3 billion dollar factory would be taxed at $18.7 million/year. IA only gets ahead of their $208M incentive after 11+ years. I'd guess Apple is expecting a faster ROI than that. Even worse, the tax incentive includes a $20M rebate on sales tax, so IA starts out in the hole (so call it 10 years of property tax incentive).
What keeps Apple around when the tax incentive ends and they can just go for a similar deal from some other state to build a new data center to replace their antiquated 10 year old one which is in need of a refresh anyway? Other than 450 short term jobs and 50 10 year ones, what's in it for IA?
Nope. S/he leaked military documents about the US middle-east wars. Bradley/Chelsea wasn't involved in lying "about tapping data of every cell phone" or "spying on Americans", which is what you were responding to. It was Clapper who lied about that, and Snowden who leaked the proof that he lied. Neither are trans. Neither are in jail.

"levying a requirement on one operator and not others strictly because of size is clearly discriminatory."
But not any more illegal than, say, having different tax rates for different income levels.

Unlike you, some people prefer not to walk around with their eyes closed.

Myself, I used a Thousand Oaks SolarView filter on a C8.

"Religion is dumb. Literally."
If that were true, there would be no preachers.
RISC core with a bigger cache and memory controller. They could call it PowerPC.
"You're not familiar with SANS? I'd expect any sysadmin or syasadmin-wannabe who thinks a Microsoft certification is meaningful would know of them..."
FTFY.
Whoosh.

Think of the Friend Of All Children, Gamera.
Because they're as uninformed as you are. Really, are you arguing against what HHS specifically says?
Can't they just prosecute him for having a really lame pseudo-name?

You can't do that if they communicated using a web form.
Web forms are NOT email. Don't put a link on your website saying "email us" if it points to a web form.
"why's the CIA spying on Intel and its partners?"
So they can use Intel's Management Engine to spy on the rest of us.
Oh, please. 99% of what people watch on Youtube is funny animal videos.
I'd suggest you move on the the '00's. Welcome to the future!

"Chelsea Manning"
Nope. S/he leaked military documents about the US middle-east wars. Bradley/Chelsea wasn't involved in lying "about tapping data of every cell phone" or "spying on Americans", which is what you were responding to.

s/James Clapper/Edward Snowden/
Clapper is the one who did the spying for the Obama administration.
"You seem to have mistaken the transgendered person who went to jail for leaking that information"
James Clapper is a trans? When did they jail him?
"Am I the only one following that link and landing on a Reuters page about the eclipse?"
That's just Goatse.
