  1. Re:Going to ban books? on Judge Blocks Release of Blueprints For 3D-Printed Guns (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder what gave it that extra could be "banned" part?
    The term 3D?
    Do blueprints add an extra legal push towards a ban?
    Printer?

    Once lawyers work that one out they will be asking courts to ban all kinds of books.

  2. To get told by a government at what location to eat?

    Yes France tried all that into the 1980's. Huge educational push for new French computers for education.
    All that did was bring in computer system and software imports from the UK, USA.

    Whats next on the ban list?
    Books?
    Software?
    Math?
    Crypto?

  7. Tax base need more funds for political ideas.
    So good people with any wage have to be force by a gov spend more to pay more tax.

  8. Search your office for a "refrigerator" above a set capacity that could allow workers lunch "food" to be kept on site?
    Could an advanced water fountain be a "cafeteria" as it allows for hot and cold drinks that are totally removing daily beverage profit from local eateries?
    A government inspection to find an office kettle that could make instant coffee and tea on demand for office workers? Another search for any type of hidden "kitchen" area?
    Government teams using infrared to look for any hot self-contained small cooking appliance between 11am and 2 pm?

    Why should workers be forced by a government to spend their own wage in a way a government demands?
    Who wants to walk out on the streets to walk around waste, drug use, tents, RV and crime?
    When a really great employee cafeteria allow workers to eat and talk in a really nice area?
    No crime, clean, great food, good people... vs ... wondering out onto the streets and using more of a wage to be forced by a government to buy what your own company can offer?

  9. With a social media product that is free to use?
    How is "data privacy" going to allow an ad company to sell ads?
    Every ad company will be able to show "authenticity" as they are an ad company...
    How can an ad company sort its ads and provide the very best service to people paying for and placing ads?

    Re "Basically they need to roll out fiber to keep money coming in, but they need money coming in to roll out fiber because they've already borrowed to the hilt."

    the way around that is to just let people in wealthy and local communities build and find their own telco and ISP solutions.
    Bring in experts and see what can be done.
    A resort town, picturesque parts of the USA can then create their own community broadband.
    Tourists get a new roll out of fiber and so will the local community.
    Once more of the federal laws are removed, wealthy parts of the USA can get networking again.

    Think of the cyber skills.
    Discovering the ISP and the IP.
    To follow that modem down to a users desktop computer using an ip.
    As every bad person sits in front of their home computer. With an ip just from that account from their isp.

  16. Re:safeguard the sanctity of the classroom? on France Bans Smartphones in School (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    France can see what other nations attempted with
    laptops.
    desktops.
    GUI robots.
    The "internet".
    The USA put so much money into every school and per student. The test results stayed the same for decades in the USA. With all the new support and more tax spending.
    More tax to pay for more support for education did not result in smarter students from the 1980's and beyond.

    France tried that with its MO5, T07 computers.

    Remove the distractions and focus on merit. Pass exams and see what education in France can do.
    More and more technology spending did not allow France, the UK to become leaders with computers for all. The (Plan informatique pour tous) idea of computers for all and good jobs making new educational computers in France.

    Get back to education and remove the mobile phone distractions.

  18. By accepting more students a university in the USA can ensure more people get more loans and pay for more food every year.
    "other countries" make people work hard and pass a real exam. Only then are the very best of the best allowed to study.
    The USA also wants its university community to have the demographics of the wider US population.
    So it has to drop the "merit" part and go for "tipping" and "lopping" to ensure admissions look like the wider community.
    The USA wants a pluralistic society at university not the very best students.
    Re "where is the money going?" The value of the loan. The money is in the loan. Larger loan, more money into the university every year.

  19. Get into university on merit.
    That would give some sort of full academic scholarship and allow the best in every generation to study and be supported.
    Cant pass the test but have wealth? Buy your way into some study thats fun and use your own wealth to pay for what is needed.

    When poor and not that smart, consider something outside a university education you cant afford.
    Something like HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Vocational training.
