some doper wants to "blaze up" in a bar/restaurant
Welcome to Washington State.
On a related note: A lot of the 'vaping mods' are done because hash oil volatilizes at higher temps than e-cig juice. And some of those big clouds you see wafting out of car windows isn't a nicotine product. A lot of the push back against e-cigs is because they are becoming a (not well hidden) means of getting high in public. Much like drug paraphernalia has been banned from time to time, nobody is buying the "B..b..but muh quitting smoking!" Chew the gum or wear a patch if you want to quit.
Right. Lots of paperwork involved if you want to do gov't work. And much of it comes with constraints on what the contractor or its employees can do. Which is why, if I was Twitter, I'd be holding out against entering into these sorts of agreements for as long as possible.
It's arguable that the US government really has anti hacking tradecraft that is so far ahead of commercial grade stuff to make the nuisance of clearances worthwhile. And if commercial grade won't do, you can always buy stuff from Israel.
A lot of people would rather drive themselves. Particularly when word gets out that clicking the "I Agree" button will make them liable for the AI's screw-ups.
In fact, it's usually the government that makes a clearance a condition of a contract. And it's in the best interest of the company to minimize the number of people that need to be covered by a clearance.
A lot of people are looking at this clearance issue from the point of view of selling jet fighters or submarines to the government. Where their primary business is to sell such goods. Facebook and Twitter would be better off not having cleared employees. And developing their own anti-hacking tools and processes completely unencumbered by government secrecy requirements. Unfortunately, the NSA (and other TLAs) have managed to become the gatekeepers of inter company intrusion data. Which they need to keep their systems clean.
The intel community wants to be able to share actionable intelligence without giving away methods and means.
Whose methods and means? The NSA/FBIs? Here, a security clearance is more about keeping details of surveillance from the general public and specifically those under surveillance. There isn't that much 'method and means' to be leaked. If it's the 'methods and means' being developed by private entities (Google, Facebook, Microsoft) the security clearance is an excuse for the gov't to limit your market. Suddenly, there's a whole list of people and countries that you can't do business with. Or even talk to.
Also, if you have a clearance and stop working at a job that requires a clearance, your clearance goes away.
To be accurate, it becomes inactive. All the background checks that were done on an individual are still on file. And in many cases they are still being done*. So people in these positions are of value because they can be issued a new clearance pretty quickly.
*People leaving many classified positions have systems capability knowledge and remain targets of foreign intelligence services. Sometimes for years or even the rest of their lives. The DoD (for one) keeps an eye on ex-contractors in such positions.
They merely have to do better than humans. 40,000 vehicular deaths per year just in the US tends to set the good enough bar pretty damn low.
Not really. Not low enough to avoid massive liability.
When a human kills another in an accident, that's one death. And if the at-fault party dies in the accident as well, who are you going to sue? If a companies build autonomous cars, each model could be liable for thousands of deaths. And the responsible parties are sitting, alive and well, in some fancy corporate office. On top of a large pile of stock. Autonomous cars are an injury lawyer's wet dream.
Costs rise because demand rises. Demand rises due to a growing economy. Another time Seattle's economy grew this fast was during the Alaska gold rush. Seattle was the outfitter and jumping off point for the prospectors. And often where the wealthy ones brought their money back to.
This boom also attracted large numbers of unemployed people looking for opportunities that never materialized. These people ended up living along what was known as Skid road. Now they arrive, hoping for some of that Amazon gold, or a $15/hour job and pitch tents along I-5. History repeats itself.
So the bookies are taking some responsibility for keeping the market 'fair'. If they identify a player who has some unexplained statistical advantage, they move to protect their broader customer base. The bookies have no way of knowing whether these bets are being placed by highly skilled bettors, AI, or bag men for the mob, spreading bets around on fixed games.
Fines and penalties aren't always about pure monetary gain. They are a means of punishment for wrongdoing and a way to dissuade others from engaging in the same behavior. Absent payment as a penalty, I suppose we could take the board of directors of a company found in violation of the GPL and have them shot.
Intent is an important part of criminal law. As children, they may not have understood the issues surrounding immigration. Or they were not capable of doing anything other than follow their parents. So deportation as a punishment (or any punishment) may not be applicable. They committed no crime in the eyes of the law.
As far as using deportation as a purely administrative remedy for a past error, these people may be able to claim the right of residence here through adverse possession. In much the same way a lot of this country was settled.

So why go to the trouble of vaping when it doesn't hide anything?
You are attributing a level of logic and forethought to a group that just doesn't possess those faculties.
Solar hasn't solved the spinning reserve problem yet.

and the company has a chance to fix the problem
I don't know how you are going to 'fix' homeless people wandering out into the middle of the road with a software patch.

Christians don't want to cremate because they are worried there will be no body for god to raise at the end times.
Genesis 3:19, Ecclesiastes 3:20.
The 'end times' believers haven't been reading their Bible. I doubt they are true Christians.

OK, China. Now you sit on Kim Jong Un.
