Sort of. It's more about forcing views they don't agree with off of the internet. Net neutrality has little to nothing to do what what people think its for.
Have you read the California bill? I have, and it certainly does not say what you are suggesting that it does.
Even to see the difference between 1080p and 4k, you need a 100+ inches TV and move your couch forward a lot.
Bullshit.
I'm not young and I have always had bad vision, but I can certainly tell the difference between 1080 and 4k displays in 42-45" size range from the couch.
At 42" screen size, a 1920 x 1080 screen has about 52 pixels per square inch, while a 4k screen of the same size has about 105 pixels per square inch.
At 100" screen size, a 1920 x 1080 screen has about 22 pixels per square inch, while a 4k screen of the same size has about 45 pixels per square inch.
It is not about blowing it up so large you are seeing the individual pixels - it is about crispness: seeing images of objects with hard edges as sharply defined and images of objects with soft edges as soft not jagged.
The services to which you refer are not now, nor were they ever considered to be common carriers.
They are however protected from liability by section 230 of the communications decency act, specifically "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."
That means that the owner/operator of the website is not liable for the bullshit you post.
This is not related to their right to ban you. They can ban you, or block you, or remove your posts at their discretion. It is still private property. No one is under any obligation to give you a forum in which to speak.
Electors elect the President. They may vote as they wish. The people have no legal weight in electing the President as far as the federal government is concerned.
Not entirely accurate.
There are states who proclaim that electors must vote for the person that won the election--it's a law. So if the majority of people in the state voted for some ass-hat, the elector must cast his or her vote for said ass-hat, even though they know he or she is an ass-hat.
ehhh... no.
The state says that the electors must vote as directed. The state can punish those who violate that direction (probably - it would have to be settled in court), but the elector can vote as they choose and that vote cannot be undone or invalidated.
If two people job share (eg one mornings, the other afternoons) and they thus sit at the same desk and use the same PC: is the cost twice $84 per year ? If so: why ?
Yes.
Because the organization chose per user licensing this specific example would cost more than choosing a per device license.
As a counter-example: My wife's employer chose per user licensing. She can use MS Office on her desktop at work, on a laptop, or on her desktop at home using the 1 license which is tied to her user ID, instead of purchasing 3 separate licenses for each of the three devices.
It is a trade-off. Choose whichever licensing model best meets your organization's needs.
The summary doesn't mention it, but there used to be a site-license option as well, which would allow up to a specified number of concurrent users within a given organization. I do not know if this option is still available.
Google can't force others to do what they want just cause the device is running Android.
Android is trademarked. In order to use the Android trademark, you must agree to Google's conditions.
If you want to build a device using AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and call it something else (like Amazon did with the Fire series) you do not have to agree to Google's terms and conditions.
If a phone manufacturers wants to include a different internet browser as the default browser, the phone manufacturers cannot include Google Play, making the phone much less valuable.
This is not true.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8. It came with the Samsung browser as default. It came with Google Play, and many Google apps installed -alongside Samsung apps that perform essentially the same functions.
If you give NO instruction to destroy documents, then the "landlord" here facebook, has no right to state he won't give the docs due to privacy of the deceased. Which is exactly why german judge told them "nope, it is part of the inheritance(Erbe) jsut like any other document".
Actually, I would argue the opposite:
Barring specific instructions left by the deceased, Facebook should by default maintain the privacy of the deceased, until ordered to do otherwise by the court.
To put it another way:
Facebook is not the landlord, Facebook is the guardian of the data -they have a responsibility to maintain confidentiality until given a legal order to violate that confidentiality.
Actually, protests often do block people's access to their property.
True. It is also a crime.
It is typically tolerated, because of the bad publicity involved in having the police physically remove and arrest the protestors is worse than the disruption.
Property owners (or their representatives) do have the legal right of access. They are within their rights to employ private security to ensure those rights, or to request police intervention.
The summary (and the article it links to) explain the proposal very poorly. The actual PG&E announcement is here: Moss Landing Battery Proposal
There are 4 battery systems being installed for a combined output of 567.5 MW and a specified discharge duration of 4 hours.
Tesla's contribution to this is a 182.5 MW x 4 hours discharge duration, aka 730MWh capacity. Pending approval is a further proposal to expand this to a 6 hour duration -approximately 1.1 GWh from Tesla.
IDGAF about what your gods-be-damned game-bot can do, none of it validates your shitty half-assed poor excuse for real AI!
So what if this is not "strong", or "advanced", or "general", or "real" AI. It is not supposed to be. It is machine learning, which is a recognized subset of the field of artificial intelligence.
Your insistence on pissing all over it does not change the fact that this is real science, and a demonstrable advance in real science, made by real scientists.
You say "electric" and "battery" as if that electricity came from air. It does not, in most countries it comes from burning coal.
Solution: Stop burning coal. Use one of the other clean methods of generating electricity, such as: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal, Nuclear, etc. Join the modern world. Coal and Petroleum are old-tech and will be phased out, no matter how much you protest.
Businesses have to be aware of the tax laws in the areas where they're operating. If you want to open a store, you probably have one tax district. If you want to sell to everybody in the US, you have thousands of tax districts. I don't understand where the idea comes from that this is somehow "unfair".
No taxation without representation is one of the principles upon which this country was founded.
e.g. It is not lawful to require a citizen of California to pay tax to the state of New York, as they are not a citizen of (and thus have no representative voice in) New York.
This is not the same as paying a sales tax while traveling, as that falls under basic guest rules (aka "While you are here, you follow our laws...")
Also, asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants. They are following the legal process of claiming asylum from danger. Even if their case is not accepted, they are not breaking the law.
Illegal immigrants are not asylum seekers.
Seeking asylum requires presenting yourself at a legal port of entry, and requesting asylum. Anyone sneaking across the border is an illegal immigrant. Claiming they are seeking asylum after being caught, does not change the fact that they broke US law when they violated the border.
I take issue with how these people are treated after being apprehended, but the vast majority were caught in the act of violating the US border.
I don't know much about how Tesla does these things. So I'm kind of curious.
Okay, your Honda CRV/Kia Forte had recall repairs inside 5 years. So, I assume, you took the appropriate car to the appropriate dealer and either waited around or got a loaner or something like that while they fixed the problem.
Without dealers for this sort of thing, how does it work with Tesla?
Tesla does have sales locations you can bring your car to for service -they are just not 3rd party dealerships.
By not having 3rd party dealerships, Tesla has a direct relationship with each owner. They know what car you have, and what version of what model it is.
-Software fixes are provided over-the-air.
-Physical defects are likely to be fixed by Tesla sending a tech out to you. Minor fixes can be done on-site. For larger fixes they can bring you a loaner car, drive your car to the shop, fix it, and return it to you.
Only if you didn't dispose of yourself in the most ecologically friendly manner. Are there compost bin recommendations for people?
I want to be preserved in a block of Lucite (I imagine it to be more of a fake-bug-in-an-ice-cube than a Han-Solo-in-carbonite...) and propped up in the corner of the living room (or at least a dark corner of the attic -maybe taken out for Halloween.)

No way dude!

I'd be curious to know who downvoted me and why. Is it because I made fun of HRC, or social justice warriors, or Trump? Hmmmmm...
I did not, but I would. It's off topic.
Crap! Now I am off topic too...
Amazon employs more than 100 lobbyists in Washington, and has spent $67 million on lobbying since 2000.
It's true. We have the best government money can buy.

No, you pay off ONE counter in EACH precinct and hope all of them keep your secret...
That is the flaw. Conspiracies are hard, because someone always talks.
A new, smallish 1-bedroom apartment starts from $50-60K here in Bucharest. Larger ones (2-bedroom, living room, office) can go over 150K.
That is similar to the rental rates in Santa Clara...

" One wonders how it could meet any kind of safety standards, "
Easy, no side windows and it's a Quad. Just like the electric Renault Twizy.
And the driver's legs are the impact crumple zone.
Consider it motivation to drive defensively instead of like a rage-aholic asshole.
