The CFAA has an exception for law enforcement operations and criminal investigations.

Paragraph (f):

(f) This section does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the United States.

I have a Bose-X pilot headset and it works pretty damn well. The consumer-variant noise canceling headphones, on the other hand, have a very unsettling low frequency rumble to them that makes me nauseated.

Whenever a company says it is losing money on something, you have to take that information with a grain of salt. AWS is probably just paying another Amazon division for services at an astronomical rate. Corporations shift money internally all the time, and the result is that it can appear that one part of the business is hemorrhaging money.

It's not that trivial, actually. Fuel expands and contracts with temperature, and measuring fluid flow accurately is actually pretty damn hard, especially for very small flows. It's easy to estimate within about 5% based on injector duty cycle, fuel rail pressure, and temperature, but even then any kind of nonideality in the injector could radically change the accuracy of the "measurement."

How much of my money do you think I should be allowed to keep? Be honest.

They are using weasel words in a transparent attempt to mislead readers into believing the conclusion is true.

Real universities require essays, character references, demonstrated public service, and have other opportunities for applicants to demonstrate qualities not necessarily related to academic performance.

Fuck them. I'm done. I'll never vote for another one.

Humans will evolve on Mars into some other specie. I agree in principle that we have to get off this rock if civilization is to survive, but to expect that humans will continue being humans on another planet somewhere is simply naive.

The constitution is there to limit government. There is nothing wrong with limiting government more than the bare minimum limits defined by the constitution. In fact, I would say there is a good case today for rewriting the constitution using far more strict, unambiguous modern language with far more limitations than it currently has.

Whomever wants you to go to the conference pays.

If you want to go to the conference, but haven't been asked to by your employer, you pay

If your employer asks you to go to the conference, they have made the determination that your presence there is critical to the company's mission, so they should pay.

What you are suggesting is only possible after a second, much larger federal grant is secured.

"Omg, we've identified this potentially huge problem that we're going to spread FUD about. We need the taxpayer to give us MOAR MONEEZ to study it further, or WES ALLSA GONNA DIESA!"
