What more concession than the current laws regarding encryption can you ask for?
Which laws are you referring to?
Current U.S. laws are irrelevant.
As Rubio correctly pointed out, it doesn't matter what restrictions the U.S. puts on encryption. Criminals will always be able to obtain secure encryption software from other countries, and that makes U.S. laws irrelevant.
I think you mean Rubio. He is the one that correctly pointed out that if you give the government a backdoor, then criminals will also have a back door.
Isn't there some kind of technical solution that could be brought to bear? Maybe a pilot's window that darkens automatically when hit with a laser, like the ones welders use.
Or, a honking great laser built into the cockpit that shoots right back, vaporizing the asshole with the laser pointer.
Sex has nothing to do with masturbation. I am sure even someone like you can differentiate having sex with someone and masturbating inside someone's body.
There's a difference between masturbating and making love, but masturbating is definitely a form of sex.
Most modern scientists simply pretend that randomness is the only possible explanation, because they aren't interested in a God whom they cannot manipulate - or vivisect - a God who demands that they follow His moral laws, as the atoms obey His physical laws
No, they accept randomness because it is the simplest explanation that is consistent with experimental evidence. There is no evidence, nor could there be, for the existence of great magician in the sky that is not bound by the physics we observe.
The biggest advantage of a paper over a cell phone is that the pager is much less likely to be in a "dead zone" and can even receive messages deep underground. According to wikipedia:
Commercial paging transmitters typically radiate 1000 watts of effective power, resulting in a much wider coverage area per tower than a mobile phone transmitter, which typically radiates around 0.6 Watts per channel.
That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!
Would be pretty much impossible since any sort of instantaneous action at a distance implies breaking cause and effect.
Only by a very specialized meaning of "cause and effect".
If I have the ability to send a message to someone at a speed greater than c, I still won't receive a reply before I send it. That, and only that, would constitute a real causality breach, no matter how it may appear to others.
Don't forget to show how the events have the same order in all reference frames, not just one.
The only one that matters is the one where the original message originates. In other words, if I receive a reply to a message before I send that message, that is a causality problem.
If it appears wrong to others, that may be confusing to them (just like watching a movie backwards is), but has nothing to do with causality in the usual sense of the term.
but from another reference frame you may appear to go back in time.
So what? People see events in many different ways depending on their relative speed.
Suppose we have two people, A and B, separated by d light years. Further suppose that A sends a message to B, then waits for a reply. According to SR, A can not receive the reply from B until at least 2d years has past. Otherwise, SR will be broken.
However, a causality error would only occur if A receives the reply from B before sending the original message.
How it appears to others is irrelevant.

Take it from someone who has experienced it first hand.
Un is living like a Roman emperor, and knows that he has to keep the crazy up to intimidate his potential rivals. He will threaten and bluster, but never do anything that could threaten his luxurious life.
Because Un believes that he has it all worked out. If the shit really hits the fan, you can bet he will be holed up somewhere in his luxury bunker with babes galore while the rest of the country burns.

Exactly.
More social science bullshit.
The linked "article" was entirely without content, except for numerous "Paid Content" links to scammy crap.

There's no reason to buy into the mindless propaganda and beat up on the US system in particular.
How about the reason that the U.S. pays more per patient than any other industrialized nation, but gets at best middling results?
And the stupid capitalists end up on the literal, not figurative, pitchforks
But the rich can afford killer robots.
Let's see: pitchforks v.s. killer robots, I wonder which would win...
Africa does not suffer from lack of government
Tell that to the people in Somalia or Libya, who don't have functioning governments. And whose life is hell as a result.
The rail roads were private, the first subways were private, bridges were private,
Total fucking horseshit.
Or when enclosing anything made of glass.
Society will be so rich that it will decide to feed and house everyone on earth, just because.
Just because what? The generosity of the rich? HA HA.
Why would the 1% of the 1% share their wealth with the unemployed? Poor people are too busy surviving to plot the overthrow of their masters.

This is a huge advantage for emergency services.
Listen, and understand!
That Terminator is out there.
It can't be bargained with.
It can't be reasoned with.
It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!
I think s/he also was saying that when the wave (zone of effect) does arrive the implementation does apply instantly.
I don't understand referring to something that has already happened as "instantly".
Would be pretty much impossible since any sort of instantaneous action at a distance implies breaking cause and effect.

Definitely the second one, assuming that I am a gorilla.
Because Un believes that he has it all worked out.

Fascinating, and pretty much what I suspected.
I'll have to get that book.
And, as long as NK remains a crazy-based police state, there won't be millions of starved refugees streaming across both borders.
