They make money on all of those telemarketers, you know.
Yeah. But how? They obviously can track and bill all these telemarketing calls. Or they wouldn't let them through. But it seems that they have given law enforcement the second-tier interface to their tracking/billing system.
This could easily be solved with a few subpoenas and a few telco execs spending some time in prison for contempt of court and lying to law enforcement officials (essentially what an intentionally broken interface is doing).
Or nothing other than the system package manager should run as root. Create a top level sub directory and a product specific user/group. And then let it run in it's own file space as its own user. There is very little on a *NIX system that HAS to be owned by root. As long as it's readable and executable by all, that's good enough.
The parent poster mentioned arcing. There are no brushes, hence nothing to arc. Induction motors generate some harmonics when driven by variable frequency drives. But they tend to drop off rapidly at higher harmonics. Usually insignificant by the 15th harmonic. A Tesla motor runs up to about 300 Hz, so that harmonic would be 4.5 kHz. Well short of the ham radio bands.
Induction lamps run at fundamental frequencies from hundreds of kHz to MHz. A completely different problem than motor drives.
I've had a list of about 20 movies in my 'Saved' list that have unknown availability dates. And I've had that same list (more or less) for a few years. Every once in a while, I just go online and buy my own DVD/BluRay.
I have run into a few movies that genuinely have never been released to DVD in the USA. Oddly, they were available from European sources. And with a region code hacked player, that's fine with me.
It differs from their old currency precisely because of it's decentralization. No dependence on a bank that can be cut out of the 'good old boys' currency exchange and inter-bank exchange mechanisms.
The problem I can see here is that, unlike Bitcoin (and others) with a fixed amount of issuable currency, the number of Petros will be based on some amount of oil reserves or actual pumped oil. Numbers that might not be easily audited.

... with open protocols that everyone could agree on. Microsoft tried it with Outlook. For about 5 minutes. Until they figured out that enough important people were using something else and they'd have to support IMAP, POP, SMTP, etc. Or end up just another AOL/Compuserve silo.

Does someone have a mirror for that site? My ISP is blocking the domain.
Simple fix. 911 is too easy to dial accidentally. We need to adopt the UKs solution: 0118 999 881 999 199 725 .... 3.
This will go a long way to not making this move look like shit.
So make it a different user.
This.

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Imagine a voting machine loaded with this directive in 2016. It would have reviewed the choices, locked the door and self destructed.
Yeah, same here. The only thing I get ads for is MILF porn. And ....
Never mind. Gotta go now.
Once we had hammers all the world looked like a thumb.
FTFY.
We have detected a significant spring sag on your driver's side. How about skipping that pizza and stopping by the gym?
Don't we have a chimp or a rabbit that we could test this stuff on first?
more murders per capita than the USA
I don't think we are a terribly good benchmark for that.

Lots more choice.
This. Lots more choice at Netflix. Even more at the public library. Netflix's streaming movie catalog sucks.

human rights abuses
Depriving the US oil executives of their traditional resources and livelihood. Won't someone please think of the poor Exxon shareholders?
Induction motors. Solid state switching generates AC. Nothing to arc.
Now everyone throw out your cheap CFLs and LED bulbs. You are screwing up my ham radio. Come on, FCC. Where is your van when we need it?
