Cyberbullying in general needs prosecution. It is not just revenge porn that they need to go after but all the cyberbullies. Currently there is no way to deal with these criminals because you would have to bring a lawsuit in their local court against them which costs a great deal. The police show no interest in dealing with the problems. It crosses state lines. It's a national and international problem, work for the FBI at least for the state by state cases.

In the future they will mine this like for the vast resources it contains. Just like landfills. Trash to treasures.

You thought the Singularity would be about replacing you. It isn't. We will augment you. Welcome to the brave new world where your intelligence lives in both wetware and silicone.

"Already Fully Paid is Propaganda. The nuclear industry has not paid for the mess they made mining and refining. They are trying to get out of paying for the long term disposal and tear down of the reactors. Witness Entergy at Vermont Yankee. Bunch of slimy money changers.

Rather the point. If they want to claim the special benefit credits they need to take full responsibility along with it.

Of course they are also volunteering to take total and full responsibility for the fuel they use from the mining to the ultimate disposal and storage for the next ten million years. Payment in advance please.

The only thing's that are infinite are Government Greed and Human Stupidity.

"the industry has learned that they can't rely on Apple's walled garden to make a profit."

Profit was never guaranteed. Anywhere. I wonder what part of the lessons in economics and capitalism did these "Industry" people miss out on? Did they fail the class too? Did they just skip class all together?

Of course they boost their own interests.
They're in business and they're only human.
Well, actually, just about any species would do it.
It's the natural order.

Mandetory voting is one of those dumb ideas that gets tossed around time to time. It gets promoted by what ever people thing that by forcing people to vote those forced voters would vote in that party's favor. This is a very dangerous way to 'get out the vote' as it were.

We're supposed to live in the 'land of the free' and one of those freedoms is the right to not vote. Please do not vote if you don't want to vote. I vote. When you don't vote I get more power!

If this house is made of wood then you are creating a high fire risk. The space you put the system in should be sheathed with drywall, ideally doubly, since computers burn and can then catch nearby wood on fire burning down the entire house. Most houses are built of 2x construction which is basically a tinderbox. This is the reason the interiors are sheathed with sheetrock. It's not to look nice, it's to stop fires.

A better idea would be to build of concrete or stone.

Back in the 1700's there were a lot of theories, and things thrown around as laws, that we would now view as really stupid. That was chaff that has been forgotten. Only the good stuff was kept. Music and literature are similar.

I'm all for making fines income sensitive because the current system here makes them just a tickle for some people.

BUT we need to stop fines from being used as a revenue source for government. Since fines are paid to the government this is a bit of a tricky wicket.

Yahoo, Google and others keep asking me for my mobile phone number. I have none. A lot of people don't have cell phones and even more don't have smartphones. A lot of the country, a lot of the world does not have cellular coverage.

"Why Does Science Appear To Be Getting Things Increasingly Wrong?"

Probably because you have more difficulty looking at things that are in the future and near term but don't understand that the past has been largely settled.

To put it another way, your perceptions of the past being more accurate is caused by the filters of history and time. You aren't seeing all the chaff.
