It would be nice if there was a single federal e-form with a box per state. What we will likely get is a complex mess that requires subscribing to a service for thousands a month. What a better way to kill small businesses.
The value is not $0 during the extended period. Damages might be valued at the market cost of replacement during that time. The extended copyright would also prevent 2nd additions, sequels, etc.
An author that sold their rights might be able to make the case that they are due additional compensation for the extra time. They gave up their rights for the remainder of the copyright term which was extended. So congress took property without paying for the loss which might be due under the 5th amendment. Just an idea...
Some utility trucks, in my area, appear to be testing a deceleration light that flashes when the truck slows down. It is independent from the brake lights and located near the trailer hitch.
I would be impressed if they picked up one of the 250mW signals from a space suit, interfaced with TDRSS or even decoded the spread spectrum downlink. I've heard the ham equipment with only a hand held.
Obviously rules and standards would be needed. Fundamentally it just moves the demarcation point from the side of the house to a common spot. Installation might be the connection of a patch cable to 1 of N providers. The vault side might be a 10GB Ethernet switch. Hopefully, the customer premises side would be a high function commodity adapter. POTS is going to be history. Already, there is movement in the market to catch up to cell phones.
We need to get the providers out of the last mile. Any new housing developments, larger than 20 homes, should be required to star wire single mode fiber to all homes from a common equipment vault. Let the providers give access at that point and contribute to a local maintenance pool.
The problem with the old analog ELTs is they don't ID. So when there is a false alert, nobody is sure who might be having a problem. A hard landing, painting a boat, and curious passengers all lead to trouble. I think the real problem is the cost. Shock and water proofing shouldn't add so much to a rather simple device.

The hard way is the only way. We should switch on schedule. It has been years in the planning and it has already been delayed multiple times. The same for going metric. Do it the hard way: Add a 20 cent per gal. fuel tax if the pump isn't liters, no federal highway money unless the signs are changed, no bailout if the car isn't metric...
I'm sure governments would also like to generate your private key while they issue certs. Maybe a middle ground would be to have government enforced standards with audits on the CAs.
LPS is good for astronomers but watch out where you park. Last time I parked in a large lot with LPS, I had trouble finding my car. The red rental car looked black and I needed to use the remote door control to find my car.
It sounds like all new flash drives should be zeroed, formatted, and assigned a property id before being used. I guess it would still be possible for a factory to design in a back store, with malware, that would show up later.
I also like APC power strips. Be sure to control your sat-modem with a managed power strip. Have a local script reboot the modem if communication fails. The APC strips also support SNMP V3 so a simple set can cause a timed reboot on an outlet. I do this at home for a difficult DSL modem. If the modem doesn't respond it gets power cycled. An old model failed about once a week and a new one about every two months.
SNMP supports encryption and the strips also support https. I do wish APC supported authorized keys for ssh.
Get a band saw or tell the store you won't buy unless they open the package. I've asked stores to open packages since pocket knives can't be taken on airplanes.
Stringent ID checks are long overdue. While voting, 10 years after purchasing my house, by chance I noticed the voter registration book still listed the seller at my address. I told the clerk that nobody with that name lived at my address. They told me I wasn't allowed to look at other names. Also, I believe that the seller died shortly after I purchased the house.
Code requires sump pumps even if there are better solutions. My last house had a sump pump. It was on a hill and 30 feet behind the house was at the same level as the footer. A little time with a backhoe and a short pipe would have eliminated the need for the sump. Many builders are to cheap to spend the effort to get proper drainage. The footer drain on a new house down the street looks like a roller coaster. I sure hope people building green roofs know how to do drainage.
Sump pumps fail all the time. Install a second pump that has battery backup and place the float switch higher so it only works if the primary fails. Don't tee into the existing drain pipe, use a second independent pipe. I've had a check valve fail and jam the pipe so even the backup wouldn't work. You can even place a another float switch higher than the backup. Connect that one to your security system to report problems.
It is voluntary unless you get spam. Email might also cost a dollar or more per message if the Internet hadn't been developed with a content agnostic transport. I'm sure we would be paying for every email if the providers had a little more control.

10 years? Without lead solder I doubt they will last that long. Going after standby power seems more productive.

Foil over the antenna, GPS jammers, and spoofed GPS signals will all be very popular.
Hopefully they have a lint like process to look for known but secret deficiencies once the design is specified in this language.

Everything needs a version number and serial number.
Make a product in the US and get 20 years of patent protection. Export the job and only get 10 years.

Why wasn't all traffic limited to white listed addresses and that traffic limited to VPN connections using tamper resistant encryption hardware?
There is an extra step: 3a. Sell so the government can spend more money now. Just like selling toll roads.
