Water rights and things like that will probably be the flash points but in theory it could be a clean and bloodless affair. The Federal insistence of one size fits all just isn't working.
If you are referring to the Colorado River Compact, it isn't changing anytime soon.
Also, just a heads up, if a split were to occur, the blue states would stay first world, whereas most red states would continue their slide to irrelevancy.
You think New England/New York and the West Coast states need the rest of the US?
The worst aspect about this is accountability. I've noticed a trend in corporate America where decisions are made less and less by one person, and are now more often made collectively (or at least are given the appearance of having been made collectively). The advantage of this is that, if the decision is made by multiple people, then no single person can be blamed if the decision is a bad one. It's a safe way to manage. If several people can agree to do something, then no one has to take the heat if there is a failure somewhere down the line.
The ability to disable taking a video with a smartphone is on the horizon.
Don't assume just because everyone can video everything now that it will always be that way.
As time goes on, the smartphone will become more of a user-tracking/user-monitoring device and less of the free-for-all that we have assumed that it is.
Like Mussolini, Trump is dismissive of democratic institutions. He selfishly guards his image of a self-made outsider who will “dismantle the establishment” in the words of one of his supporters. That this includes cracking down on a free press by toughening libel laws, engaging in the ethnic cleansing of 11 million people (“illegals”), stripping away citizenship of those seen as illegitimate members of the nation (children of the “illegals”), and committing war crimes in the protection of the nation (killing the families of suspected terrorists) only enhances his stature among his supporters. The discrepancy between their love of America and these brutal and undemocratic methods does not bother them one iota. To borrow from Paxton again: “Fascism was an affair of the gut more than of the brain.” For Trump and his supporters, the struggle against “political correctness” in all its forms is more important than the fine print of the Constitution.
Autopilot “is an assist feature that requires you to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times,” Tesla said.
Then why are they calling it Autopilot?
Really, lets accept that Human Behavior, until completely co-opted by computers and AI, will always assume Autopilot, or anything remotely like that means "I don't have to pay attention. I can take my hands of the wheel".
What is it for if you have to keep your hands on the wheel, people with Parkinsons?
As much as I hate to admit it, I think Google is correct in wanting cars that drive themselves while the user is completely oblivious.
If you feel you are not properly sedated, call 348-844 immediately. Failure to do so may result in prosecution for criminal drug evasion
Is that from THX-1138?
I imagine you are correct though with insurers, etc wanting to know everything about us:
BM's per day
Blood profile
Length of stride
Weight loss/gain over time
Hiccup streak...
You assume the average computer user in a corporate environment has the forethought to be "hygienic" on their windows desktop computer.
That's asking a lot.
I had the same thought, and I assumed someone in here would say it before I did.
In an enterprise environment running Windows desktops and servers, etc, I feel that unfortunately a third party AV is still relevant, even with all the resource usage issues as you mentioned.
With that being said however we see that as more and more users are primarily on mobile or tablet platforms, the question there is more of a concern with people like AVG/Avast.
The Windows desktop/server AV market appears to be shrinking and I would assume less and less crumbs are falling off the table.
Why doesn't one of the enterprising young editors for/. come up with their own "Digital" graphic image to use on/.?
Why reuse the corporate logo from a company from the beginnings of the digital era?
Laziness is the answer.
I suppose I can hire one security guard to "monitor" two or three areas (i.e., wait around for the robot to signal that something suspicious may be happening) and then go check it out, rather than hiring 2 or 3 security guards.
That is, I think, the entire point.
You are correct, and all the usual/. hand-wringing to poopoo something like this is for naught.
A technology like this, still in its infancy, is really just to save money by having less human guards at the same time increasing what the one guard left can see and hear, and it is recorded. I can see these types of "security guards" catching on.
Except that the email likely contains a cut-and-paste that may solve your problem
... or a cut and paste that answers a situation that is similar to yours, but not identical, and so doesn't help you at all, and might even mislead.
or at least a helpful web link
... if such existed, you'd probably already have found it by googling. So chances are, that the web link might be just as misleading.... or they might not actually respond to your mail in the first place.
BINGO!
Emailed links to support articles are almost always a complete waste of time.
I've told support many times about their own articles they didn't know about that I already tried.
For someone who tries to infer they understand how tech support works now, you have not a fucking clue bro.
Let me spell it out for you...
Effective tech support now uses a screen sharing app or somesuch like webex.
You see, this is where the rubber meets the road.
They either have to fix the problem... or fix the problem. There is no trying.
You're emailed weblinks to some ancient and ineffective KB article the "promoted" support rep sends me, that they know damn well isn't going to fix anything and is their well planned attempt to get me out of their queue won't work.
I've ran into that one with a few companies, including our friends at Microsoft.
The support options you are describing are for consumer level tech.
When it comes to Enterprise the decent thing to do, and usually done well, is for a support rep to log into my system in realtime and work with me to correct the issue. Many, many companies have been doing it this way for years, and we are all the better for it. No email only retreads are going to solve anything. Email support is a smoke screen to present the facade of support.
Thats the thing no one gets.
They've been fighting all this time for universal health care, pre-K school for low income families and a clean water/air.

Great point!
"social responsibility"?

Don't assume just because everyone can video everything now that it will always be that way.
As time goes on, the smartphone will become more of a user-tracking/user-monitoring device and less of the free-for-all that we have assumed that it is.
This would imply that there is information of value being exchanged on Facebook; a proposition I find difficult to believe.
You nailed it.

All she needs is an old RV and a guy like Jesse to show her the ropes.
Brilliant post.
Thank you.
Glad you liked it.
pay with cash.
Though I do use my CC sometimes as well.
I am what you would call a "progressive", and I detest FB.
However, I have conservative relatives who use FB a lot and have their own echo chamber of "news" from what they get through FB.
It works both ways.

As much as I agree with your sentiment, I have a close relative whose entire 6 member family all have Apple watches and love them!

If half are mobile, does that means those run on windows phone?
Yep, all 237 of them.

Clear enough for you Einstein?
and the PS1 IBM "clicky" keyboards sell for hundreds of dollars
God I loved those...
Thats because that Apps meme isn't the "regular" Apps meme guy who does it.
/. should just hire him to do a full time Apps meme thread.
It would be more entertaining than most of the useless banter on here...
