It's easy for a human to learn how to tell information from opinion.
If it's that easy, then why don't more people do it? Face it, most people are sheep. Confirmation bias and all, they'd rather follow their own crowd. When all it takes to sell an idea is a preamble that "Ninety percent of all X believe Y...." there is no hope for critical thinking.
I think you mean Tacoma. And until a few years ago, they wholesaled fiber bandwidth to some ISPs. That proved to be money losing. So they are switching to selling direct to their customers.
the party filing the takedown is authorised to represent the copyright holder
Meaning that I can hire some intermediary to issue the notices. And if I lie to him about my status concerning the copyright, there's nothing anyone can do. As long as the party filing can state that they honestly believed that I was the owner.
Won't someone please think of the children? What might happen to some poor little tots who try to view some hot lesbian action on Pornhub and end up watching a Broadway musical instead?
The day after you finished producing that masterpiece, you ceased to be a job creator and became a rent seeker. You no longer do anything useful and should not expect society to hand you stuff in perpetuity.
But if tomorrow, anyone can copy your work, what motivated you to produce it in the first place? A reasonable monopoly on profits from it would be OK. But only for the time required for you to produce your next work.
No problem with this. Just as long as the people volunteering to be murdered do so of their own free will, are adults and have been vetted by health services.
There have been some lending companies in New Jersey using blockchain for decades. Every once in a while, the chain slips off of a lender in arrears and the body pops up up in the East Channel.
I am writing to tell you of a trusted friend and corporation that is currently entangled in tax litigation in the country of Ireland. My friend, the Apple corporation, is in possession of $230 billion, but cannot access these funds until $14 billion in taxes are paid to a corrupt governing body and other legal issues resolved. If you could assist in any way, some of this money could be transferred to you. Please provide an account number and other bank account details to facilitate the transfer of funds. But do not discuss the details of this assistance or the thieves from EU could seize your remittance.
Sort of. His metrics are wrong. It's not smooth flow we want so much as maximizing traffic flow. Sure, not having to slow down and speed up is 'comfy'. But we cant afford to give everyone a few hundred yards of space around their vehicle. Traffic flow is measured by the number of vehicles that pass one point per unit time. This is affected both by speed and spacing.
IEEE has it right. If a traffic wave begins (traffic slows at one point) then the best solution is to get your ass moving once it clears out. This minimizes propagation of the wave backward through traffic. Which we all know as a traffic jam. Traffic flow is horribly non-linear. And trying to extend the logic of everyday phenomena to explain it (like waves in water, for example) doesn't work well. Even if it looks right.
We used to have sanitariums where we could put people with communicable diseases. Now they just wander around, wheezing on people, asking for spare change. We have a big public health campaign to get adults vaccinated for whooping cough because "Muh poor baby!" But parents think nothing of dragging their kid with them to Starbucks and plopping them down next to a bum coughing up a lung.
That's why we have metered on-ramps. They limit the number of cars that have to weave into the traffic. And if traffic on the freeway starts to slow down, so should the metering rate until the bottleneck relieves itself.
But if metering were actually implemented this way, people waiting would go insane. And it doesn't account for the carpool bypass, which ends up jamming traffic at the merge point anyway. In reality, ramp metering has become a penalty* for solo drivers, nothing more.
*Unless you are fortunate enough to live in a wealthy neighborhood and can call your state representative to keep metering off your own little local on-ramp. Why the hell do rich people get their own on-ramps anyway?

I'm sorry, Mr. Einstein. But your special theory of relativity runs counter to existing publications describing wave propagation through ether.

Well, that's the news from Lake Wobegon. Where all our users are above average.
Global Warming
That's hot!
Isn't this what they meant by the Paris accord?

We were planning on paying a bunch of people UBI anyway. So they can just report to a sorting center for their work assignments.
Nope. The combustion products stink of patchouli.
Personally, I blame a large rat.
BSD (various), HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, OS X, TPF, z/VM.
No other useful OSs come to mind at the moment.
I piped incoming user help messages to the emacs psychiatrist.

Hitler did nothing wrong.
Yes he did. He delayed the unification of Europe under German rule by about 50 years.

they have highway entrances and exits in poor neighborhoods
The rich folks just don't have on-ramp metering. Only plebes have to wait for a light.
As for murder, if swatting is a felony in Kansas
This happened across state lines. So there's the Federal law angle to consider as well.

The AGW zealots posted this right when everyone else is too busy shoveling global warming out of their driveways.
Yes. But they got the coordinates wrong.
