It's getting harder to do when the prices change just as you put the items in your cart due to what they have in your dossier. (Dynamic Pricing)

Reimpose the requirements at the state level.

The ISP's may then lobby the FCC for federal preemption of state rules on the way ISP's do business, but that might not be successful if the states challenge it in court.

More like: What's in your computer?

Yes, but at least the source code is available which makes it easier to sandbox off this information from a web browser.

Assigning unique id's to devices connected to the Internet would be welcomed by open arms by the government. The government would then be able to track every computer just like Flock is doing with roadside ALPR's.

Also, age verification becomes a whole lot easier with per-device ID's,

Although linking a person to a specific device would still be something the government would have to prove in court, they could use other methods to prove that a specific person was using a computer at a specific time.

Per device ID's would have a chilling effect on free speech online.

Let's hope this doesn't get shoved down the throats of Linux users.

Not always, there are have been instances of jury nullification.

One judge in England a few centuries ago got so mad at a jury which did this, he ordered the jury jailed:

Sir Samuel Starling, alongside the Recorder of London, Thomas Howell, was infuriated when the jury refused to convict Penn and Mead of unlawful assembly for preaching on the streets of London. After the jury returned a verdict that did not satisfy the court, the judges locked the twelve jurors in a room without food, water, heat, or a toilet, demanding a guilty verdict. When the jurors stood their ground, Starling and Howell fined each juror 40 marks and sent them to Newgate Prison when they refused to pay.

Probably wouldn't happen in America unless we become completely fascist.

Yes, but the State can keep ordering a new trial until the costs mount, or he is convicted. Heck this mighe ven force the defendant to do a plea bargain due to the legal costs.

There's a lot of "make work" backed in during product design to discourage repairs by the consumer and to drive up the cost of servicing. This involves the use of special tools, and methods of attachment which easily break unless you are properly trained. Just take a look at doing an oil change in the latest cars for a good example.

the bit in the fine unsigned integer to the left until it either overflows and becomes zero, or the violators tow the line.

No, even worse. The data link between the battery pack and the product will be encrypted. No genuine battery, no useful gadget.

"John deerification" is coming for everything with replaceable parts unless suitable legislation is passed to stop this nonsense.

but getting a jury to acquit is another. Chances are this guy is going to be punished both civilly and criminally.

I don't like it that the State thinks it can use a private company to do its dirty work either, but that's the type of goverment we seem to have these days.

Initiative and referendum is probably correct the way to resolve this (At least in states which permit it). In states without initiative and referendum you could write your assembly and senate representatives, but the problem with that is they are probably likely lobbied heavily by the companies pushing the surveillance solutions.

Not to say that the same companies wouldn't fight a ballot proposition tooth and nail, but it at least forces the issue out in the open.

The other thing which could happen is a favorable Supreme Court ruling, but given the current make-up of that court, the chances of that happening are pretty remote.

And that's just what the Social Security Administration wants. Overdosing on sodium is a killer.

Processed foods such as canned soup, canned vegetables, frozen dinners, and contain too much sodium. In order to avoid that, you need to cook everything from scratch. A lot of people who work for a living don't have the time to do this.

Salt is added to canned and frozen foods in order to preserve them, and to also mask the taste of the low grade ingredients used.

Salt is a very inexpensive spice, and the American Public wants their food to taste salty.

Trade associations for major packaged food, snack, and restaurant manufacturers lobby to prevent mandatory sodium limits and keep salt-reduction guidelines voluntary.
Major lobbying groups include the Grocery Manufacturers Association (now the Consumer Brands Association), the American Bakers Association, the National Restaurant Association, and SNAC International (snack manufacturers).

These organizations primarily argue that mandatory salt-reduction targets would be too costly for manufacturers, alter the taste, texture, and safety of foods, and cause disruptions in the food supply chain.

Historically, large food and salt producers have lobbied against the FDA’s sodium-reduction proposals.

For instance:The Salt Institute: Actively lobbied against FDA targets, claiming that low-salt diets "endanger public health" and that consumers would only counteract lower sodium levels by eating more food or adding more table salt themselves.

Trade Coalitions: Industry groups have successfully lobbied Congress to attach "riders" to budget bills that block the FDA from making their sodium-reduction targets mandatory.

Consequently, the FDA's current Phase I and Phase II sodium-reduction frameworks remain strictly voluntary, allowing food makers to adjust gradually rather than face immediate regulatory bans.

Yes it's like Mad Cow Disease. Best not to eat them, just institutionalize them.

to lock up those who don't work by bringing back vagrancy laws. (Or at least they could try in certain states)

The 13th amendment to the constitution reads:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Notice this little gem:

except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted

Imagine this: State police raiding homeless camps, arresting them for vagrancy, then imprisoning them. In prisons in certain states if you refuse to work, your life will be made miserable.

However the government first has to prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. (Due Process)

Let's hope most jurors would believe in a "Fully informed jury" in this case,

I don't know if the hardware will be able to operate in the wider temperature swings on the moon.
