Yes, please be the guinea pig and backdoor your encryption. Then when your banking system collapses because some idiot leaked the keys, maybe it'll light a lightbulb in governments elsewhere.
I'm afraid that you're giving other governments too much credit.
They'd look at France's failure as one of implementation, not of concept.
...the military or local National Guard unit would provide instructors to lead regular drill sessions that are open to local citizens training with their own weapons.
To expand on that idea, how about we automatically enlist all gun owners in the National Guard, with all attendant requirements?
Want to keep your gun? Attend the monthly training and annual 2-week deployments. If you can't be bothered to be part of a "well-regulated militia," why should you be trusted with a gun?
1- Showroom; being as I'm a larger individual, I prefer to actually sit in the car I'm interested in to verify that I can drive it comfortably, that I'm happy with the visibility out the mirrors and rear window, etc.
2- Warranty Repair; if something goes wrong or there's a recall, I want to be able to take it to a manufacturer approved facility. Those are most often at dealerships.
I don't like to haggle, and I don't like to waste time. Ideally, I would like for purchasing a car to take only slightly more time than it takes to buy a suit and have it tailored.
What i care about is: (1) what is your track record, (2) what are your financials, and (3) what is your insurance.
Why should you care about those things? If the plane crashes or the baggage crew loses your luggage, you can give them a 1-star rating...that'll teach them.
Many of the drivers for Uber are in the business of converting equity in their cars into payments from Uber. That is not necessarily a profitable exchange and many drivers don't realize that until their car breaks down. Uber drivers are not paid for the time they spend sitting in their car waiting for the next gig. And if you include that time, they are paid below minimum wage in many cases.
You say that with the expectation that the "Libertarian/Anarcho-Capitalists" who love Uber care about such things.
They don't.
They only care about getting what they want as cheaply as possible, screw everyone else and damn the consequences.
There are a couple of places I regularly go where I am either not allowed to or choose not to take my phone. Some of those places do not have clocks, so if I want to keep track of time I wear a cheap wristwatch.
However, the "populist" view is that "I pay too much in taxes" and that view gets magnified every year in late March/early April.
In my opinion, the best option the next President can propose is to have a peaceful way for states to secede. That way hopefully Texas and the old Confederacy can create the Christian People's Democratic Republic of 'Murrica, and the "conservatives/libertarians" can flock to their Utopia.
Good luck to Professor Lessig...he's going to need it.
So if I take gas money from a friend on a trip am I a chauffeur?
If your friend asks you to take him somewhere, and he offers you a couple of dollars for gas, that's okay.
If you mention that you're going somewhere, and your friend asks to ride with you and offers gas money, that's okay too.
If you register to use an app that says, "I'll take anyone anywhere they want to go for $X," then you're soliciting for fares, which is generally regarded as a commercial activity. Depending on your location, you may need a commercial driver's license and/or commercial registration and insurance on your vehicle.
Do I need insurance?
In most jurisdictions, you need insurance. The type of insurance may vary depending on how and where you drive your vehicle.
And in the case of Saudi Arabia, you can add another law they're breaking...that of not allowing women to travel without a male relative.
If I were an Uber executive, I'd stay well clear of Saudi Arabia....I understand that they don't mess around with punishing those who violate the law there.
To me, this serves as further evidence that there's enough difference between the Demopublican and Republicratic wings of the Party to bother voting for either one.
In that case, you and your buddies are cordially invited to move yourselves to a private island where you can all live out your Anarcho-Capitalist fantasies to your heart's content.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are comfortable trading a level of inconvenience for reasonable assurance of accountability.

Analysts will double check the location to verify that the target is legit before sending off a drone.
That's a good one...their check will be, "Are they brown and in the Middle East? Then we're good to go."
After all the blown up wedding parties in Afghanistan, the military is trying to avoid those mistakes.
They're only trying to avoid the publicity.

That assumes that the other campaigns..."coughClintoncough"...didn't plan this to attempt to discredit Senator Sanders.
At this point, the Party is doing everything it can to have the general election be Hilary versus either Jeb or Marco.

The kernel is much more complex than an init system
For now, it is. Just give the Systemd team a little more time, and that may change.
I'm done risking life and limb going into walmart at frickin 4am after turkey day.
If you wait that long, all the good deals will be gone.
Walmart will be open at 6 PM on Thanksgiving Day....and so will a lot of other stores.
They're just not mentioning that Thursday is Thanksgiving Day.

They're not using intelligence to stop these people. The question is it incompetence, malfeasance, apathy, or some combination of all three?
Add in a side of blind naked ambition for power, and the answer is yes.

That is an extremely short-sighted viewpoint. Money isn't everything.
I'm afraid that statement doesn't make much sense to a great number of Americans these days.
Anything over 90 days is long-term, and money is how we keep score...the one with the most wins.

...my first-hand experience tells me that they beat taxis all to hell.
That comment also appears to say that you don't care about anything but your immediate needs.
It's the typical "I want what I want, when I want it, fuck everyone else and damn the consequences" point of view.
Want something from Wall Mart? It will be waiting for the Uber driver to deliver it to your door.
Want it delivered in one piece? That will be an extra charge.
Riggght. Replace a regulated marketplace with a single middleman playing piece workers against each other is not a race to the bottom.
I'm not even going to discuss this with you, you're an idiot.
Arguing with "anarcho-capitalists" like this is useless.
They only care about one thing; getting what they want as cheaply as possible, screw everyone else and damn the consequences.
We need voting machines with open source hardware, open source software...
Paper and pen are about as open as hardware gets.
Mark a paper ballot, put it in the box. Take the paper out of the box and count the ballots.
Simple, easy to understand, and no messy passwords to remember.
It even works during a power outage!

But they're on the INTERNET, so they're the same thing and your normal laws don't apply.

So the lack of support for her may indicate that most people don't want the country ruined.
At least, they don't want it ruined by her. It will be ruined by someone else.
That's exactly what it was.
The sad (but funny) part is that there appears to be a lot of people who are surprised by this. Perhaps we've just been here a while.
I have a phone, what do I need a watch for?
There are a couple of places I regularly go where I am either not allowed to or choose not to take my phone. Some of those places do not have clocks, so if I want to keep track of time I wear a cheap wristwatch.
It's that way here in the US, too.

You mean like the folks at Soylent News did?
They host it themselves, and accept donations...even in Bitcoin.

It leaves my ballot mostly blank, though.
