Pootsky doesn't like Hil'ry because she publicly questioned the legitimacy of his election.
And the Democrats are more worried about the legitimacy of Trump's erection!

The health data the Watch collects is sent only to the users phone. From there other apps can request access to parts of it, but the user has to explicitly grant permission to allow it - and they would first have to install an app that could even ask...
So tell me again how it's a data collection initiative when there are so few ways to collect the data it collects?
Maybe, just maybe, some of the fitness tracking stuff the Apple watch does is useful enough to people that it encourages healthier living. Maybe, just maybe, being told to stand every hour and stretch has long term benefits.
But no, lets discount all of that and go for the Slashdot Paranoid Delusion #75757, Standard Evil Corporate Overlord wants to know my average run pace.
I think it was a poor choice to raise a bunch of money by starting the sell spectrum to cell providers in the 90s instead of licensing it to them as had been done before
Bandwidth auctions are only selling off a LEASE of that spectrum in the first place.
so now a lot of power is concentrated into a few companies that own spectrum
Auctioning is a good way to allocate limited resources. The significant expense highly discourages carriers from buying anything they won't extensively use (leaving it open for smaller organizations) and have also encouraged the FCC to open up more spectrum to get in on some more of that big cash.
it's not necessarily in their interest to pursue certain RF research or new RF technology
It's money from the cellular carriers that has been paying for developments of 3G and 4G technologies, and is continuing with a surprisingly fast push to work on 5G.
And again, the huge expense of buying new spectrum in an auction is encouraging cellular carriers to "densify" their networks, instead of just expanding their bandwidth.
Imagine if TV stations owned their spectrum, we might never have been able to force a HD digital transition.
There's been no need for the government to force carriers to start shutting off their 2G networks and rolling out 4G. There's competition in the market, and tighter integration between sender and receiver. TV networks could never have hoped to force their audience to upgrade their all their TVs, but cell carriers can and regularly do.
the organizer of an event should be given some way to coordinate and organize access to the limited resource.
They can... They get an FCC licenses for restricted RF bands, and use those, instead of heavy-handed attempts at individuals co-opting and monopolizing unlicensed bands.
What you absolutely don't have a right to do is to carry whatever you want onto someone else's property. Take for example weapons bans which prohibit students from bringing knives to school, to Disney World, etc.
Except you increasingly DO have that right.

I can totally understand banning Wifi hotspot access points at big crowded events like this.
I can totally understand many things which happen to be illegal. I don't think anyone is dumbfounded by the idea of theft, extortion, etc.
Performance will suck for EVERYONE, including the venue WiFi.
Then the venue should have licensed their own radio spectrum from the FCC. Guaranteed there would be zero contention for their band, then.
You don't get to monopolize unlicensed spectrum, and tell people they can't use their legal devices around you. That's a recipe for the "electromagnetic sensitive" nut-jobs to demand everybody in proximity to them must shut off their cell phones. And the FCC takes a particularly dim view of this behavior when it's combined with FEES. If access to their on-site WiFi was free (and speeds were tolerable), the FCC probably would have just let it slide.

It isn't from the scientists.
That sounds an awful lot like "No True Scotsman" to me...
If you're going to Mars at all anyway messing around with just a few people means certain death for all. With enough people you have redundancy in skill and ability, a lot of pure manual labor on tap if required, and lots more of a drive to make the community continue. In think the timeframe is pretty realistic to be honest and the goal not very out of reach. Think of where we were technologically forty years ago, across many fields of science...
No I'm trying to explain an observed effect, far more thinking than you have ever done in your miserable life.
I don't care really care either way which of the two goober was the slightly less goobery one, I'm approaching this as a strategic issue.
I hope that increases you post count enough you get that bonus from the Hilary campaign! The money came from Wells Fargo bilking customers, but whatever. I'll not respond further since you are an even larger goober than the pair of the candidates combined.
I'd only consider a laser combo device that's colored value for money, but that costs an arm and both legs
that's racist.

Everything connected to the net should be held accountable which starts with ISP's holding each other and their customers accountable.
Which is exactly the logic governments will use to justify enforcing licensing and registration for every user and device.

Jesus, read my WHOLE POST. I said they may well have left it on but were not really watching... I explained that that had to be the case because of the poll results.
Is it really so hard for people here to comprehend words now??? I mean I literally spelled it out for you.
Yes they do. Very rarely will they get even close to the theoretical max rate of whatever standard is in use in your area, never mind the advertised rate. This is true for any wireless standard because use of radio is subject to congestion and interference. Sorry, but there will always be wiring closets and hardwired connections for the applications and people that need/want performance and consistency.
