dissidents and some other inconveniences, and gently urge them onto the path of good behaviour?

There's prob. an app for that -- I need to look.
Okay, how 'bout this for project Ara: a module that
will learn to parrot me, that can fake me going about town
and carry the phone, leave a fake triangulation trace, fake
usage, mail, web, settings twiddling -- the works, everything
indistinguishable from the real live thing.
There should be a market for this.
Only, to entertain an appropriate ad hominem this time -- Bloomberg's car's exhaust also has an effect on the people around him.
Difference is, his effect is an externality affecting other people's health directly, whereas the sugar-addict's externality has a monetary
effect on others at worst.
Now, keeping in mind the gentle dictum 'noblesse oblige', go define the 'lower' of the two classes you implicitly distinguished.
Don't chuck your dead-tree books just yet!
After the likes of Barnes & Noble have done away with them, and some years
of 'Verelendung' (see wiki), all those paper books will regain a new worth.
Google is too big too fail; one of these days they'll come out and
proclaim they "like the government", and "do no evil" should be
read as "...and please same".

Forest
This is a dimly lit forest, with large trees all around. One particularly
large tree with some low branches stands here.

Up a Tree
You are about 10 feet above the ground nestled among some large branches.
The nearest branch above you is above your reach.
On the branch is a small birds nest.
In the bird's nest is a large egg encrusted with precious jewels, apparently
scavenged somewhere by a childless songbird. The egg is covered with fine
gold inlay, and ornamented in lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. Unlike most
eggs, this one is hinged and has a delicate looking clasp holding it closed.
The egg appears extremely fragile.
>take egg
Taken.
>drop egg
Dropped.
The egg falls to the ground, and is seriously damaged.
>down
Forest
There is a somewhat ruined egg here.
There is a golden clockwork canary nestled in the egg. It seems to have
recently had a bad experience. The mountings for its jewel-like eyes are
empty, and its silver beak is crumpled. Through a cracked crystal window
below its left wing you can see the remains of intricate machinery. It is
not clear what result winding it would have, as the mainspring seems sprung.

Have you tried hopping around the dungeon, too?
I am giving up my modeator opportunity on this just to call you a troll.

So therefore, gentlemen, I wish you a stroke of good fortune.

Economy as such is not a science.
Question then becomes: should your mom have benefitted from that option?
Can they become more looser with the likes of Keith Alexander?
Don't tell me there is no capitalistic market principle here, one that
should be promising, that thus far has went unnoticed by you!

Got one so far. Snowden.

It's a decent ruling, but...
Having the right to travel doesn't mean any particular airline

Guess the project of your dreams needs a Summer of Code at Google.
Propose, propose, propose...
My takeaway from this is: handhelds need a desktop PC.
Who could've thought!!? Are you listening, Ubuntu, Gnome?!!
Shouldn't complain.
Interaction with real Java man routinely!
You got some already -- though, granted, not enough.
