Who is going to pay the tax? The consumer in your country or the source in another country? How will you make (either of them) them pay it?

Physical goods can be interdicted when they cross the border and prevented from reaching the consumer until the tariff has been paid. Digital goods cannot be. You can only rely on the cooperation of those involved.

These changes redefine the rules to allow high volatility investing for large 401k funds.

Previously, the managers of these big 401k funds (that most of us have retirement money invested in) were bound by a fiduciary duty to not take excessive risks with our money. This meant that returns were relatively safe, but not spectacular. The fund managers get paid a % of the return as a bonus -and they want more.

Under these new rules, they can bet big (with your retirement money) on the big payout -which will earn them a bigger bonus if it pays out. They are no longer required to play it safe with your money. Acceptable risk has been officially redefined. Imagine if your 401K fund had bought bitcoin 20 years ago. Imagine if your 401K fund goes all in on OpenAI when they IPO.

University of Bristol researcher Chris Preist said the findings may be more complicated than they look. "It would be worth doing follow-up research to understand to what extent it's the heat generated from computation versus the heat generated from the building itself," he says. For example, the building being heated by sunlight may be part of the effect.

They acknowledged that very issue.

That is not any more anonymous. Using the app or using a card still logs who did what, when, where, and how often. It is just another database.

This is not about getting a nicotine fix or powering a vehicle. It is about tracking and control.

First they came for the vape-bros....

This tech (if it works) will be pushed to other uses. This will be how you authenticate your age to browse the internet. This will be how you activate your car. Your home. Your beer. Your right to vote.

This is age verification, authentication, and identification all in one slick package. Give it time.

Sure. Or we could do more than one thing.

The chips are a huge improvement, but they are not a perfect solution.

well... yes. Welcome to CHINA.

No. "well regulated" meant "properly equipped".

"Because X is necessary, Y shall not be infringed" -does not say that a person must be a member of X in order to Y .

In the parlance of the time when this was written: 1.) every free male of fighting age was considered to be a part of the militia. 2.) "well regulated" meant "properly outfitted with necessary equipment" -aka armed with a gun and ammunition.

When the call went out to the community, it was expected for every man of fighting age to assemble with their gun and ammunition. This tradition was a simple outgrowth of the medieval standard, whereupon when the local lord called, the freemen of the estate would turn out -and bring their own weapon to fight with.

None of this addresses the modern concern as to whether or not we should still allow individual ownership of firearms. That is a whole other discussion.

That is exactly what they mean by "providing false or misleading information".

It is a system where dissent = terrorism. The greatest threat to society is non-conformity.

Your attempt at rules lawyering will get you tortured in a re-education center until you have a change of heart and publicly acknowledge your actions were wrong and offer your sincere apologies. As a foreigner, you may be allowed to return to your home country after serving as an example. If you are a citizen, you will disappear but your cooperation will save your family.

Surprise! The public libraries used to get the paper delivered daily. You could, in fact, go to the library and read that days paper. Libraries would have the local paper, as well as major regional and national papers.

Will? No.

More new features are not what Firefox needs.

Make a standards-compliant browser that does not hog resources. Let the community build plugins that can add special features for those who want them.

Don't beg us for money to support a mission and then waste it on side projects nobody asked for.

My son's highschool did not have a student parking lot. The assumption has become that parents would deliver and pick up their children.

Can't leave them unsupervised! (and... many younglings just don't drive. I was surprised at how few of his schoolmates had drivers licenses by the time they graduated.)
