As an experiment, you should see if you can get started in San Francisco an outrage meme similar to Uber, but for unofficial K-cups.
"They aren't insured. What happens when one poisons someone? Ther's no guarantee. Any old person could make one in their home."
Same exact stuff the city council is so adamant about.
Politicians run scared -- all they need is for someone to whisper in their ear, "Imagine the next terrorist attack, and your opponent points out how you hampered the government investigation..."
This is where higher strategy comes in -- if they could crack it, first few but the very highest would know. But they wouldn't run around as if they'd cracked it. They'd keep it secret, using discovered things only rarely and even then with a believabla parallel construction, and not for legal reasons, but to hide the ability.
This also applies to other hacks and cracks and taps legal and illegal, i.e. mundane spying, and not just. Bletchley Park stuff.
Go read Cryptonomicon for a good feel for this stuff. Ultra code knew the Germans had been cracked. Ultra Mega knew the cracked messages themselves, and consisted of 20 people, but they would supposedly have a random plane "stumble" over an important sub so it could be attacked without revealing the code had been broken. I have no idea how close to reality it was.
It's up to you to set a rate. If you have an inalienable right, then you can charge $0.
Sounds like a dictatorship could use a constitution with a very first amendment observing the inalienable right to freedom of speech and the press, which means the right to clone and distribute your speech.
That's just another thing to get in the way of politicians handing out favors, and, in this case, silencing opposition...of smaller organizations.
This makes me want to read Game of Thrones.
I would much rather have 99% of the web disappear than have it continue in its current state (ads everywhere, selling my info, letting advertisers control content, forcing me to watch an ad and type "I LOVE MCDONALDS" before showing me content, etc.).
Attention: McDonald's. If I ever see this, I'm never eating there again.
"But he also loves brutally difficult games that challenge gamers 2–3 times his age, and he’s frighteningly good at them."
These mad skillz are supposed to impress me? Let me know when he can do something really hard like solo his way to 100 in World of Warcraft without buying an instant 90.
Every new dollar spent here is another dollar or two...or three spent elswhere because of tit for tat negotiations. Look for it.
When Bush requested $700 billion for bank bailouts, it was over $800 billion, the extra being negotiated pork to buy votes.
Think what that means: If the bailout was necessary, some in Congress were ready to cancel it unless they got something. If the bailout was not necessary, some who would have rightly stopped it got bought out to go along.
You know damned well they are not limiting it to an odd researcher at DOD or NSA looking into disease resistance. If caught, these overzealous agents with no historical sense of why government should need warrants will claim, "The law doesn't specify meaningful boundaries, tough!"
I like the level of erudition in addressing his (or her) argument. Do you have a pamplet in which I can learn more? O rperhaps I will get really lucky and there's a scheduled meeting down by the docks?
You believe in the cover meme that this is about safety. Yet planetwide, regulations are actually used to get in the way of competition,!to protect iinterests with the ear of those in power, or to allow those in power to get in the way to get paid to get back out of the way.
You don't go into business there to get rich -- that just attracts regulators. Yiu go into government to get rich. A region's buildinh regulator regularly charges 10% of the cost of a buildinh to approve construction.
The net downside of blowing it all away is rather small, safety-wise.
At worst, if it was about safety, government would demand adherance rather than licensing with limited licenses.
You're free to think of the US as a piece of shit, but compared to most countries they're good. We do lead and many people in real shitholes, not just ones in your imagination, hve said time and again they look to the US to lead.
So, fool, fool.
We lecture other nations about free trade, but fucking Canada is freer than the US for some farm goods and other stuff.
And don't even get Australia started. For that matter, our sugar is 2-3x world price inside the US because, umm, you know, we love free trade. It's been pointed out Congress is holding 310 million Americans hostage to about 7000 farmers.
It's the one with 76 trombone players.
Oh, wait. That still doesn't narrow it down.
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
