Or you know, enforce the existing rules around sales contracts. You buy it, you own it and any additional "terms and conditions" you can't read before purchase are void.
The farmers you know. People group up more around income levels than any other standard. So you of median income know mostly people with median income. Farming corporations however are where the money is made and thats how these farmers have money for genetically engineered crops that cost millions of dollars per year and how they afford lobbying (corn lobby is one of the biggest lobies besides oil in the US). Even these tractors these "poor farmers" are complaining about aren't just tractors, tractors are easy to repair licensed or not (motor, gearbox much like a car); we are talking about $1M factories on wheels, semi-autonomous, GPS tracked harvest-to-product machines. Fixing them when one gets stuck in the field requires engineers and programmers to be dispatched and costs the farmer $1000s per hour because the farm and harvest is very accurately timed to manage the largest yields with minimal equipment and delay means leaving product to freeze in the field.
Doesn't matter whether they're regulated, most contractors for developments go with the cheapest products and then when you start noticing the problems (5-10y down the road), it's already past the 1y warranty.
I currently live in one of those DIY kit houses from the early 20th century, this thing is rock solid and besides the regular wear and settling, no major structural issues.
You obviously never applied nor got inspected for said licenses. They are just taxes on renovations. I've had 6 permits in the last 2 years, 2 electrical ones, 1 for a repair and 1 for a renovation. The licensing office requires you to have a building permit for the renovation, a building permit for fire sprinkler system, a water permit to connect the backflow preventer for said fire sprinkler system to the pipes, a sewage permit to make sure you don't connect the drain for said fire sprinkler system directly to the sewage, a fire marshal inspection, an electrical permit for the electric. Each permit is ~$120.
The inspections are a joke, I did the work all myself which is permitted as the homeowner, half the inspectors asked me why they were there, They never heard of anyone doing a fire sprinkler system so especially the water and sewage inspector were wondering why they were there, then I had to point it out and they said: well, for residential fire sprinkler we can't test the system, you pass. All inspectors spent 5m looking around and say "looks good" on both rough and finish inspections, didn't even have to show the entire renovation. They do require you to submit plans for ~3 months and then hound each inspector for 3 days to show up and the building inspector I've been calling for 3 weeks now.
The problem seems to be from articles I've read that the complexity of the market of wind+solar in combination with base load is spiking the cost. There is sufficient supply, the companies owning the base load are just in the wrong location AND gouge the market when they need to supply it because the solution of "moar renewbubbles" through government put the majority of variable supply in roughly the same location while shutting down classic base load in the same locations (combination of pork and poor planning). You can't spin up an entire plant that was shut down in 15m. They need more sources in more diverse weather and storage of oversupply (when it's cheaper to import electric from your neighbors).
The computers have to be compatible with Windows 10 in order to be eligible for the upgrade. If your system can't be upgraded for whatever reason, it is by definition not eligible, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't exclude all custom systems, upgraded systems and any system that doesn't have a Windows 8 sticker on it. It's a nice little marketing scam.
That's because the statistic is false. Women typically make 98 cents on the dollar vs males when you compare actual positions and monthly paychecks. The 70 cent study has thoroughly been debunked, they were taking the aggregate income across a lifetime for the entire population - and yes, in our population there are plenty of women who have 0 income, not any employer's fault for them not applying for jobs.
In those countries, the "elections", if there are any meaningful ones to begin with, are usually along religious lines instead of political ones. The party with the most adherents (Muslims) win. They never fail to reinstate theocratic rules and suppress or eradicate non-Muslims (mostly other sects of Muslims such as the Kurds in Turkey).
A national referendum is one of the more democratic ways of doing something. In the US you can only vote for a representative that (through gerrymandering and other tricks) may not even be who you want or what you want the government to represent. There is no way of disagreeing with a particular law or even your representative other than calling their office (and who do you think they work for, you or the guy they got 50k from) or breaking the law and thus challenging the law from a prison cell.
In this case, the PM didn't like the way the vote went and instead of doing what the people wanted, he stepped down. There was no referendum on that nor was that a requirement, he just said "fuck it". Could happen in the US if Trump gets elected and all the Democrat elected representative says "fuck it" and leaves all offices (the house and senate and committees) solely in Republican control.
a) What you're describing is frame doubling or similar tricks (every manufacturer has it's own name for it). It only makes the system APPEAR better and brighter. This is often done by simply doubling the frames or turning the backlights on and off between changing frames. This makes it appear "crisper", brighter and smoother, it's only a trick though and most displays already do it, it doesn't actually improve the actual experience, only tricks your brain into thinking it is at first glance and often when you do have a real 60 or 120fps source, it interferes with it (and thus needs to be disabled, either manually or automatically). It does increase fatigue.
b) VR needs to be as close as realtime as possible. When you move your head, your brain expects the world to move right away (most current research pegs the human eye's temporal resolution to be at about 10ms or ~100Hz in bright environments). So when you make your 60Hz game (~16ms latency) into a VR game, you WILL get some issues because you are basically lagging an entire 5-10 frames behind the whole time (your input latency on very high end systems is typically ~10ms, processing latency and video card latency add another 20-50ms and then LCD latency (the time it takes for an LCD to go from black-to-white, not gray-to-gray) is typically another 10ms).
c) Most frame doubling that uses a 'smoothing engine' requires the next frame to be available. You're now adding 32ms of latency (on a 60Hz system or ~3 "frames" for your eyes) just to get a smoother image so that is entirely useless.
A 'good' VR system would require end-to-end control over the individual pixel arrays of the LCD displays as well as direct access to any sensor inputs (which all have inherent latency as well). The second you say "USB" you've already lost 10-100ms and when you say HDMI/VGA/DVI, you've lost another 8-16ms (because those are built for streaming images to "TV's". Hell, most video cards these days also use some form of double or even triple buffering (meaning your image comes out 1-2 frames too late already) in order to do all sorts of post-processing tricks (aliasing etc).
So how can others make use of this copy protection? That's right, they can't because Microsoft is the creator of the 'standard' and controls the keys to the kingdom and doesn't really publish anything about it. There is no way that you can get your program to work with DRM in Windows without jumping through major hoops (both technical and bureaucratic) and even then, the thing is barely documented.
The blockchain itself is only as safe as it's users. Bitcoin has struggled with it as large BC miner consortiums are almost large enough to be able to control the blockchain. If these 'custom' blockchains are not public but only between banks, then it becomes very possible that 'a consortium of criminals' at one of the banks or in one of the many government oversight committees (FTC, SEC, FDIC) would be able to manipulate the entire chain - it's not like the Chinese and Russians haven't been able to monitor their systems unnoticed for the better half of the last decade.
Microsoft did magically disable 1080p in the other browsers, it's right there in the summary. Edge is the only browser that (can) use PMP and PlayReady which the content cartels require for 1080p playback on Windows systems.
From what I understand the latest benchmarks show that Rust and Java are quite even when it comes to performance. You can't just spend CPU cycles on checks and bounds without sacrificing speed.
This seems to be a case of a re-explanation of what a tech told him. The 3rd party techs don't hold as much credential in a court as a "special agent" so the agent is in court trying to explain what happened. From the summary I can only establish that in order to "catch" a suspect they inserted a MITM that altered the data so it became identifiable (eg adding the string &FBISUSP=001 to every HTTP query or even every packet) - that allowed them to not touch the servers (maintaining the forensic credibility of the server so they can pursue the operators) and simultaneously see what the person is accessing/traversing in logs and across computers and routers they controlled or even on a suspects computer but in doing so they altered the streams both in and outgoing which could be construed as tampering with the evidence because now every packet has the FBI fingerprints on them and those could've alter the original flow of data (eg it could be argued that the string could cause the servers to return child porn instead of fluffy kittens). Additionally mangling of packets may filter out those spurious strings which would've been avoided by inserting the strings in the encrypted stream instead of out of it (or in a plain text stream).
Which are perfectly fine to play most if not all games. A dedicated 'gaming' PC is going to cost you, but so is a dedicated console gaming setup - you need at least 3 consoles to play the majority of console games (PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo) then you also need to buy additional memory cards, specific wiring and controllers because whatever is in the box is usually insufficient. Then you do this every 2-3 years while plunking down $50-75/game because the systems die all-in-one too and the games are utterly expensive. On the PC you at least have the option of going for very well built, "cheap" games where $50+ typically gets you a very high quality game.
The difference is that Amazon is on the customer/consumer side while eBay is for the seller side. Refunds are automatic with Amazon, minimal proof necessary. I've had several claims that packages got broken/lost during shipping with Amazon or are otherwise deficient; for the seller there is no recourse, at least I buy insurance so I get my money from USPS but otherwise I'd be out of product and money. EBay doesn't really care whether you buy fake crap that's broken, once the bidding is done you get whatever you bid on and the most you can do is give bad feedback.
There is one problem with the proposal. The film ratings are entirely voluntary and done by the content producers, you can still buy unrated movies (typically lower quality but Netflix is full of them). There are various ratings for sites ranging from decided by church ladies to voluntary web rings. Google kind of has a filter that's fully automated but it's still possible to get around it. Censoring content never works, even regional filters are being circumvented both in and out of the U.K. (BBC IPlayer and Netflix respectively)
How about attaching a flash, pepper or CS grenade instead of a fucking frag grenade? I'd be totally fine with the graduating use of force, even if it eventually ended up in an actual need to blow him up, this wasn't even that. A negotiator attempted to end it, doesn't work, so let's make an example of this person standing up to our government by our de-facto military forces.

The US mail system already scans all packages and letters. It was several years ago this was revealed during the anthrax scares.

There is none because the FBI started prosecution so it wouldn't expire.
Rust has multicore capabilities now? I thought that proper multi threading didn't fit into their "safety" models and requires ugly hacks.

Exactly. It would be one thing if they drove a dead claymore to further "negotiate" but they just kind of, well he's not coming out, lets frag 'em.
