Bro, it's super clear.

Were going to pass a law that we have no law about this and use that law to get rid of laws that regulate what we didn't make laws about.

this will end up with manufacturers claiming every little thing they improve should increment the number, so they can sell new APs and routers.

Basically, China already tries to segregate their Internet from everyone else's. The odds that they will sever every single tie to the US Internet is laughable, and if they don't do that, it's still one Internet.

I'm kind of arrogant at work but I'm too good to be slapped down in my specialty. I've never thought I acted like an an Asshole and people generally tell me I'm a nice friendly guy.

After leaving some work places and talking with people who still work there, it's pretty clear a lot of people (particularly ones I didn't interact with much at all) had decided I was an asshole. You can't judge your assholeishness, it's subjective and sometimes not even tied to reality.

"The insurer will begin converting existing life insurance policies to Vitality in 2019, it said."

Or if they just decided to unilaterally change the terms of your agreement.

This thing would probably appeal to the same people who bought the Magic Leap one.

Yup, the one where a sentiant computer pulled them into the future to help two socially awkward gamers learn how to interact IRL after most of humanity had died off.

Weird episode but very memorable.

If reporters are telling you it's dead, wait a bit and buy it. If reporters are telling you it's the future of the world, wait a bit and sell it.

Tech reporters are manipulating the price of bitcoin by writing articles about it and laughing all the way to the bank.

I was curious about this and read down into the CEOs explanation.

Apparently the only basis he has for this claim is that the software has a high misidentification (false positive) rate among black females. I'm not sure why this makes the software "biased" instead of "broken" or "needing improvement".

"This means that after that date the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows."

I can understand the desire to not have to support the older operating systems. But, why completely stop in from running?

Why not just say, "if it breaks too bad" and let people risk it if they want to?

Like I'd listen someone who uses google+.

This law gives THE GOVERNMENT the ability to go after sites for things that are most definitely not what Backpage did. Under the old law, if you contributed to sex trafficking though your own actions your immunity was revoked. Under the new law, if a user does something that the government decides you should have known about and stopped, your immunity is revoked. That's a huge difference, and includes a nice little bit where the government can dispense arbitrary justice by picking and choosing who should have know what.

Which would have been sufficient under the old system. Under the new rules they can be held responsible if the government thinks they should have know about it and stopped it.

Or that this law is completely unnecessary and Backpage was just a strawman to get this power grab passed.

But how would they do that without this law that they needed?
