Yeah. Things were a lot better before the OPM got into the security clearance business. Who would have thought that the issues with and threats against defense, healthcare, law enforcement and other employees and contractors would differ?
That might have worked back in the old print media days. Where the ad had to be typeset and an editor could review it in advance for compliance with his political views^H^H^H^H^Hcampaign law compliance. But if you are serving them up off a third party server, the ad content could be changed at a moments notice. The server could even return innocuous ad copy to Facebook corporate IP addresses, election officials, etc.
WA State. I used to live in an apartment complex that had many more mailboxes than apartment units. And people pulling up to fetch their mail whom I'd never seen around the building at other times. And there are official avenues for obtaining mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc. For 'The Homeless'.
Weird the people care more about who runs the ad then what is in the ad.
Not "the people". But the mainstream media. They used to have a monopoly on advertising expenditures. For everything from political ads to dish soap. But this Internet thing cropped up and people have figured out how to get a message out without the prior approval of the MSM bigwigs.
The digestive system of an animal is designed to pull stuff apart and absorb it.
Faster than they'd absorb it straight out of the water or when consumed with their regular food? I'd think that the binding energy of toxins to plastic would need to be overcome. And that would reduce concentrations available in the digestive tract.
But if these chemicals bind to plastics and these plastics stay in fishes' guts, that's a good thing*. It's less chemicals that pass into their bloodstream and muscles, which we do eat.
*Well of course not having the chemicals in the water in the first place would be better.
Think about how you'd measure road capacity. It would be the number of cars passing a point per second. So if someone slows down and leaves a large gap, they are 'consuming' far more than their share of capacity. Plus all the other people stuck behind them who have to slow down until they can pass. If you have seen any traffic study videos, you'll see that it doesn't take many of these slowpokes to decrease the overall flow significantly. And the only answer engineers have for this problem (at this time*) is to add more lanes. So you can thank these morons for billions of dollars of unneeded road construction.
*This is the primary benefit for self driving cars on a freeway. They can travel with minimal spacing (much closer than a human) at the speed limit without risking collisions.
Actually, the problem is that people engaging in some distraction leave extra space between themselves and the traffic ahead. And they do this by slowing down by sometimes as much as 10 or 15 MPH below traffic flow. And they end up becoming a log jam in the middle of the road. They don't care if someone cuts in front of them because that person will inevitably speed up and increase the gap. Leaving them free to fiddle with their phones. Meanwhile, everyone else piles up behind them until an opportunity to pass comes up.
against the law to use a handheld device while stopped at a traffic light
Because nature will conspire against you to change the light to green as soon as you start fiddling with some device. And everyone behind you starts blowing their horn. But if you are in a hurry, the lights all stay red.
So I outsmart nature. When I'm in a hurry, I pick up my cell phone. Or something else that I could kill time with at a red light. So nature says, "Aha! I'm going to make this guy look like an idiot." And it turns all the light green for me.
Are you certain that this spying behavior isn't built into the DLLs that Windows libraries depend on? Or compiled into the apps themselves as static libs?
If you want a secure system, you have to inspect every component that you touch.
So you think supporting a principle ensconced in our constitution will cause increased mistrust? Whereas undermining that principle and placing the rights practiced a significant portion of the population up for argument and in the hands of some petty local politicians is good for trust?
And that bit about a civil war; Are you really going to start one if you don't get your way? That sort of threat sounds like the promotion of instability to me. And if so, what are you going to fight it with?
I see your problem right here. Don't link accounts. Make payments manually (either write a check or kick off a one-time electronic payment as required). Even if a screw up is due only to some institution's screw up (not intentional and/or malicious) you have little recourse to repair damages due to mandatory arbitration clauses.
Developer doesn't provide for a branch in the code to handle a case that they think won't ever happen. Or even a catch-all branch that just prints a '?' and carries on. The exception is carried back up the app uncaught until it crashes.

It was a Lexus.
I wonder if they would be helpful in my attempt to set myself up in business as a self-taught attorney.
People would have to set out how they intend to put the five-figure payouts to good use
Keep me from having to rob old people living in council flats.

Don't allow any election ads in the first place.

And I forget, are they red or blue? ;)
Blue.

Right. And you'd also have to watch for apps that periodically belch out a bunch of surveillance data and then go quiet.
Slashdot. The new cave wall.
Attempting to influence stupid people is not a crime
This. Or every exec on Madison Avenue would be in prison.
Critical thinking skills. Get some.
