Water scarcity in California is a political problem with a political solution.

To better understand why a pipeline is a non-starter...

From the perspective of the cashew farmer: would you rather buy cheap water from the local utility or expensive water from the Great Lakes?

From the perspective of the pipeline investor: would you invest in a project to send water to CA when the people most likely to buy it will have ever more restrictions on water use?

And now for the solution to this and many problems...

Simply remove use restrictions and let the market properly set the price of this scarce product.

Guess what, senators?

If you won't let me hire foreign workers and bring them here to work on mutually beneficial terms, then I will simply keep them offshore and pay them to work from there.

Americans are SO uncompetitive for certain types of labor. A few laws wont bridge the chasm.

I've never seen a massively large Google logo rolling down any street.

I have seen real live, taxable Google employees walking down streets.

Yes... trucks driving on empty roads at midnight

90%+ of comments here have been regarding lack of onboard pilots with commercial passenger flights.

Naturally, the first offboard pilot flights would be with cargo only. And that is way more relevant and less sexy discussion.

Better solution: include an iPhone and backup battery in the shipment. Use Find my iPhone.

Or just use FedEx's or UPS's real time tracking :-)

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. It involved write access to other people's brokerage accounts.

FINRA, SEC, and FBI are all good points of contact and they have a straightforward complaint/action process. Assuming that you mailed a letter to the CEO first. Otherwise, I just now post live exploits to my blog at http://privacylog.blogspot.com... and usually give the vendor a heads up.

You will not get credit for the find. The TLAs will not invite you to give a speech. You will not get a career out of this, or even consulting money. Your end game is getting the thing fixed and moving on. Do this by posting your story which proves how innocent you are and giving the people an honest chance to fix it. Imagine you are in front of a jury of idiots. If you are saying "I wrote down this URL, then I typed it back in and some else's bank records came up... then I found out I made a typo". This is a perfectly reasonable story, there is nothing to be afraid of.

On iOS, this app is labeled for "kids 5 and under". ... so after 5 it's just rickrolling, goatse and downhill from there?

Holy shitsnacks. There are more Archer seasons? I need to step up my piracy.

We are talking about Archer, right?

GNU is abandonware, which is fine in and of itself. However, abandonware under a GPL license discourages corporate sponsorship.

End result: the nix systems we know and love from 10 years ago will be the same exact systems we know and love 20 years from now.

The difference is that corporations (US C Corporations) are the imaginary invention of people, and this is also why they should not be taxed.

I imagine that all my corporations are in tax-friendly, business-friendly domicile. And if such a domicile does not exist, then imagine harder! This is the present state of corporate earnings management.

People, on the other hand, receive all the benefits of corporations. These benefits accrue as transactions, wages, dividends. Transactions and, to a degree, wages and dividends, are real, tangible things.

This is why taxing transactions (i.e. sales tax) can strive to meet standards of fairness and smartness, but taxing corporate profits will always lead to ridiculous outcomes.

iPad is a single-player device.

The one in my house displays a pop-up when shoes go on sale that my wife wants or whenever a commit hits any of my GitHub projects. Multiply that by about 50 installed apps and this quickly become a device that is not fun for anyone.

But sure, for business users and single people, it is just a big phone.

This is lip service to people complaining about the real problem.

And the real problem can be solved by the existing anticompetition and racketeering rules we have.

They do, it's called advertisements injected into your page by Comcast when browsing on xfinitywifi wifi hotspots
