It is "equally first amendment" to block them. The actual issue here is just that the ban singled out specific types of robocall instead of blocking them all. The Judge didn't say you can't block them because first amendment, he said you can't single them out to be blocked based on their content.
As soon as you decided to assume that I'm making an absolute statement, you could also just have assumed that you didn't understand what I wrote, and attempted to re-parse until you teased out a logical statement.
And then you follow up by just hand-waving and presuming GPS "may be able" to prevent some things. But you're not really sure. You could have just as easily assumed that the maybe stuff you imagined were brought in by your absolute, rather than being implicated by what I actually said.
But consider this: if GPS can prevent an accident, it can cause one, and GPS accuracy is intentionally varied. If there is a nearby bomb threat, the whole area might very suddenly have inaccurate GPS readings. If GPS can prevent accidents, it can cause them, and a security scare would then cause traffic accidents. That is not how the systems are being built; engineers aren't that stupid, sorry.
GPS is used for route planning, not accident prevention.
For most things it doesn't matter, but something like "augmented reality" would be putting the pixels in the slightly wrong spot. A vehicle auto-pilot should be able to do just fine with a 1m error, because it has to see the road to work at all, but the HUD might still be off, and it would sometimes not choose the best lane anymore. It could even make a wrong turn in a complex urban intersection.
Even without that, if you never update it becomes a bigger problem over time.
Because by publishing data periodically everybody has synchronized navigation data, and even if somebody doesn't update, if you know that it is easier to predict what data they will have.
With continuously corrected data you have no idea what somebody actually means when they give you a coordinate.
The relative coordinates are much more important than the absolute coordinates.
And, they don't use GPS to avoid accidents. That would be... totally insane. That's just a "wow"-level stupidity to dump out while trying to explain something.
* (Yes, I used stupidity as a noun. Get over it, it's an open language.)
Right, but even then, I don't care how fast my GPU can do anything. What I do care about is that the code I write is efficient enough that there won't be bottlenecks on my workstation. I mean, it has to scale too, right? And when I need to use an API, it should work on my workstation. That includes 3D stuff, whether I'm doing graphics or statistics. That's why I love my AMD A-series! It isn't the fastest at anything, and it isn't the most efficient on the market, but it is the most efficient that can "do everything" without needing a discrete card. If I had a more powerful system, the fans would all have to run faster, and it would be noisy and obnoxious. I could build a box around it, but then it would build up heat and reduce the life of the components.
The idea that a modern linux user has to futz with things is kinda funny. Linux is a great choice because it lets you futz, but no, that hasn't been required for a... long long time. If he doesn't want to futz, he shouldn't futz. But why does he think nerds are against doing it? What if I miss calculating modelines?
Oh, but they do load! They load the JS, and also cookies and images and image cookies, etc. If you only block the JS, you still get tracked by the image loading.
I recommend Privacy Badger rather than Ghostery, though.
Try uMatrix, it blocks all third-party scripts by default, but it is easy to turn them on a per-first-site basis.
I use it together with regular scriptblock, so first I have to say "yes you can use scripts" and then if it wants third party, I have to say yes to each one. There are few sites that get that much access.
It can also strip the referrer for you.
It can also fake the agent string, but IME that will break most mapping applets so if you can't get your government weather radar to work, turn that off.
Most of the people on Slashdot would be better-served by using either uBlock Origin or uMatrix instead of ABP.
I would say uBlock Origin and uMatrix.
I'm running both of those, and also scriptblock, but most users will only want uMatrix.
The "regular end user" set that I would recommend is uMatrix, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Flashblock. (Flashblock isn't just for flash, it is also for stopping html5 auto-play)
For us grumpy old paranoid farts who don't mind having to fiddle before a site can run client code, then add in scriptblock.
Right, everybody in an industry is going to recite the party-line answer. A personal trainer isn't going to say, "Gosh, I hire a personal trainer to make it look everybody needs one," they're going to give a PR reason like "blah blah `home blind' blah blah." If they're a professional athlete, I believe them. If they're not, then how "home blind" are they, really? Will they actually get a substandard or even lower quality workout just using their own knowledge? Is athletic training really that much of a Arti'stic thing where you need a live person holding the brush for it to count, or is it actually just a technical job? The part that is non-technical is the part that is cheerleading, and a personal trainer is a person who is already self-motivated to train or they wouldn't even want the job! It is blatantly obvious in that example that it is PR.
You didn't introduce any idea that even argues against what I said, you just seem to have not considered it and you take the time to assert otherwise.
And of course it is the "smart" personal trainers who hire personal trainers... just ask them! It is a pretty obvious part of the PR. Trainers who aren't doing that PR aren't going to agree, "yeah, I'm not very smart, so I don't hire one." Instead they'll say, "I'm self motivated, so I don't need the help. Motivation and safety are the services I provide." The nature of the way one side backhandedly calls the other stupid is related to the arguments; you have to do that with a backhand, so it is asymmetrical; one side calls the other stupid, the other side has to fall back on "different strokes."
My advice, instead of handwaving and making up your own theory, just fact-check what I said.
I'd take you more seriously if you even know how Senate seniority is counted. It isn't conferred separately on the whim of each Party, it is in the Senate rules and is based on the time serving in the committee.
You argue the point about if he's registered as a D or an I in the Senate, but you didn't look it up first. Tsk tsk. Go, look, read, learn... Bro.
See, you admit you aren't capable of understanding on your own, but then instead of trying to learn when it is explained to you, you just argue from assertion. It isn't because of the mental state you were born with that you don't understand this; it is because you're willfully ignorant.
From the story I'm not really so sure. Is it the terrorists, or the secular democratic revolutionaries opposing them who were targeted? Arab Spring wasn't the people you're describing, but your brush sounds so broad I don't think you'd fit another group of people in the picture.
Their tartoor lawsuit has no merit, and we have them surrounded. I'm not afraid, and you don't be afraid. There are no settlements in Redmond, I assure you!
We are in control. They are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by filing lawsuits and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards.
They should surrender or be burned in their upgrades.
I have detailed information about the situation...which completely proves that what they allege are illusions . . . They lie every day. Lying is forbidden in Redmond. Balmer will tolerate nothing but truthfulness as he is a man of great honor and integrity. Everyone is encouraged to speak freely of the truths evidenced in their eyes and hearts.
A homeless guy in my town represented himself against the city, took it all the way to the Supreme Court, and won! They ruled that the city can't deny him the right to sell his awful joke books on the sidewalk, because other people are allowed to sell things, and because it is books any subjective determination of merit is inherently content-based. Had he been selling shoes, then the city would be free to decide if it has value to the community; but speech? No, they have to give the permit.
You might misunderstand percentages. In a particular case, you either win or lose; those are 100% or 0% results. Sure it is possible to partly win; but percentages don't matter, those are what happened to other people.
And the reason lawyers don't represent themselves is that they make enough money to hire somebody, it is a tax write-off, and also there is an expectation within the industry to support the industry PR and always hire a lawyer.
As a Democrat I have to wonder, is the best solution just to have more super-delegates? Is it too easy for Greens to try to hijack a primary? If they weren't Democrats before Bernie ran, and they don't want to support Hillary after she won... in what way should I care about their representation in my party?
I like Bernie, he's a great Senator, but I think he started learning about foreign policy sometime after he announced his candidacy. The domestic issues he rails about have to be solved from Congress, where he is already!
The Senate has a list. Every Senator chooses who they are formally associated with. Bernie is not Senator (D) he's a Senator (I), regardless of him having run to be a D in another position.
Who else but nerds take the time to throw the rubber chicken, and ask the rubber ducky? Why would nerds care if these supposed "real" people understand what they're seeing?
I'm so tired of hearing this nonsense. I spend a lot of time in the woods, and there are lots of Bigfoot. Idiots see them all the time and think they are this imaginary creature called the Black Bear, but that's because Bigfoot are smart enough to stoop over when they see a human.
