Interesting thing, instruction how people "could avoid detection online" are not illegal, or even immoral.
(a) Offense defined.--A person commits an offense if, with intent to hinder the apprehension, prosecution, conviction or punishment of another for crime or violation of the terms of probation, parole, intermediate punishment or Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, he:
(1) harbors or conceals the other;
(2) provides or aids in providing a weapon, transportation, disguise or other means of avoiding apprehension or effecting escape;
(3) conceals or destroys evidence of the crime, or tampers with a witness, informant, document or other source of information, regardless of its admissibility in evidence;
(4) warns the other of impending discovery or apprehension, except that this paragraph does not apply to a warning given in connection with an effort to bring another into compliance with law; or
(5) provides false information to a law enforcement officer.
From TFS: "Many of those posts, according to FBI testimony, contained some of the most extreme child abuse imagery one could imagine, and others included advice on how sexual abusers could avoid detection online."
What crack are you smoking, and where does someone get some?
So if something has 0% trans fat (for example), it can legally contain trans fat (in U.S.A.)
No, 0% means 0%, not 0.1%.

Well, when it comes to nutrition labels, 0% means anything under 0.5%, because they can round off to the nearest percent: When the Nutrition Facts label says a food contains “0 g” of trans fat, but includes “partially hydrogenated oil” in the ingredient list, it means the food contains trans fat, but less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving. So, if you eat more than one serving, you could quickly reach your daily limit of trans fat. (American Heart Assoc.)
The current space probes like Voyagers and Pioneer 10 can pass stars on the order of 10 light years in less than 40k years
How long do you suppose it would take them to get there if they had to decelerate (at no more than a few g to avoid damaging the human occupants) so they wouldn't actually pass the destination?
Not really. the younger generations are staying away from Facebook and twitter. As myspace died before them, so will go Facebook.(replaced by snapchat, instagram, and whatsapp, among others)
The cycle is stretching out finally, no longer is this done by the year but by the decade. Facebook will stick around but their numbers have basically stopped growing in another 10 years like world of warcraft it will be shrinking. trying to expand again.
"Daily active users (DAUs) for the social media platform came in at 936 million on average for March 2015, an increase of 17 percent year-over-year and higher than the StreetAccount consensus estimate of 920.2 million." (CNBC )
By the way, you know Instagram was bought by Facebook 3 years ago, right?
Exactly. I've held a Secret clearance for 38 years, and the rules covering this sort of thing are very clear. The penalties include a huge fine and very serious federal prison time.
There are multiple empty houses for every man, woman, and child in America, thanks to the mortgage scam.
I'd love to see a citation for that. The United States population on July 4, 2015 was 321,442,019. According to this source, 5 million homes had been repossessed as of April, 2015, with an additional 3 million forecast for the next three years or so.
That's a lot of repossessed homes, but 8 million is not a multiple of 321 million, unless by "multiple" you mean "0.025".
Yes, if everything in the model scales with the cube of length. But it probably wouldn't, through the use of lightweight material like carbon fiber for the structure and props and high-efficiency ironless electric motors. It's going to a daunting challenge, though, and extremely expensive, assuming it's possible at all. Hard to imagine this getting off the ground with a takeoff weight much over a couple of thousand pounds. And even if it can get off the ground and actually fly, reliability is going to be an issue in something a 1%-er can afford to buy.
Trying to make excuses for Nazi style registration.
Not at all. Just correcting a mistaken assumption made by someone who couldn't be bothered to read the regs. Oh, and Godwin, by the way.
Where is bicycle registration? rc car rego?
Pretty sure the FAA has no authority in those areas. I do recall having a city-issued bicycle license (Los Angeles) when I was a kid, a long time ago; but the city stopped enforcing that in 2009.
I have about 40 planes that will fall under the registration process. I will be paying ~$200 every three years just so I can fly my aircraft.
From the FAA announcement: "Owners using the model aircraft for hobby or recreation will only have to register once and may use the same identification number for all of their model UAS."
So no, you won't be paying ~$200 every three years. You will be paying $5 every three years.
A bit nitpicky, but these are not drones. Drones are typically much larger than 25Kg, have weapons systems, and are operated by a military. As per the press release, these are small unmanned aircraft.
Probably a good thing, then, that the word "drone" does not appear in the actual regulation.
Faraday Future, the newest and most unknown player in the electric car game
It's unknown if there are more unknown unknowns, we don't know if those in the know know more about this unknown rather than other unknowns. Needless to say we will all know about the known unknowns as soon as there is more to know.
I don't know about that. Surely with the probably huge but unknown number of unknowns, there may be other unknowns that are even more unknown than this one.
So if someone tries to rob me, I can just yell "inalienable right!" and they'll be magically compelled to not only stop trying to rob me, but to go lock themselves in a prison?
Well, if that doesn't work, you can try yelling "legislation!" as well.
Those who blended insufficient exercise with prolonged sitting were 2.42 times more likely to die during the study, and those who were also guilty of sleeping for too many hours were 4.23 times more likely die by the time the study ended.
Sounds like participating in the study was pretty risky behavior as well.

So it's not surprising in the least that Uber and Lyft drivers tend to fancy lower cost vehicles like hybrids and such.
Wait, what?

I actually recognize most of these words or could figure it out from contrast
I figured out what you meant there from context. And, I agree completely with your point.
Not really. the younger generations are staying away from Facebook and twitter. As myspace died before them, so will go Facebook.(replaced by snapchat, instagram, and whatsapp, among others)

Among the set of living beings, death is probably the single event most likely to occur.
Not taxes? I need to pay income tax twice a year. (State and Federal) I plan on dying maybe once or twice at most.
Excellent point. I probably should have said that death is the single least escapable event.
Easy train of thought:
Mocking Christianity = not Republican
Perhaps you meant "easy knee-jerk". I know plenty of Republicans who think organized religions are bunk.
...marriage is a legal protection, distributing property in the unlikely event one of the partners die.
Among the set of living beings, death is probably the single event most likely to occur.
So marriage is a racquet in US too.
Table tennis, badminton, racquetball, squash, or tennis?

If they get the warrant, you can still refuse to "decrypt" as you can plead the 5th in that the encrypted records "could" incriminate you.
I imagine that would be about as successful as refusing to give up a DNA sample under court order.

Really?
White settlers from the U.S. who wanted to use it for agriculture overthrew the native government [wikipedia.org], and got the U.S. to annex it.
Yes they did. And a thousand years before that, settlers from Tahiti conquered the descendants of the previous settlers from the Southern Marquesas.
I don't call my microwave a refrigerator. Why would you call a computer a phone?
Because you can use it to make phone calls, perhaps? A person might call their microwave oven a refrigerator if it kept their milk from spoiling.
If this is flat out not possible, then it just won't happen.
The day is just getting started, but I feel confident in awarding you the prize for Profound Comment of the Day.
Now, where did I put that medal?
