I’m curious if it is accurate that they would have to build to 2 different standards for all cases. With the use of software, one might sell a car with one version of software enabled by default in some states, favoring environmental controls, and another in a different bloc of states, catering towards performance or…

I recently made the switch. The reason I had originally purchased Kaspersky was simple. Tests showed that it was extremely effective, and I got a good value on the suite. As I was not holding information that are attractive to a foreign state, I was more concerned about its effectiveness against the threats most of us…

“The coffee plant’s needs are simple: warm weather and rain”

Except, what would recharge the batteries but a fossil-fueled powered generator in the field? On a nuclear powered ship the answer is easy; in the desert, not so much

I’m in Florida, but if you go out to a preserve you are much more likely to see one (alive).

This is something of a cautionary tale of a startup worried about being viewed as a sellout. Had they, in fact, sold out, many of their employees would have probably seen a nice payday, rather than watch their stock devalue day after day after day.
Sometimes scale matters, and so does experience. Would it have been…

Some of these might not roll off the tongue but actually make sense. Brevardastro, for example, has to do with the Brevard Astronomical society. Brevard County, also known as the “Space Coast,” is where Kennedy Space Center is located (where SpaceX will launch and land their Falcon 9 rocket tomorrow, for example). …

I just chatted online with AT&T, and I got the opposite answer. I would love to be able to get straight, accurate, answers from them, as it would make it a no-brainer for me as well.

Using your absurd analogy, the FCC actions were like pouring in liquid nitrogen

Ah yes, that spat. But as I said, that was worked out before the regulations came into effect, quite publicly in fact. Netflix put the issue to Verizon’s customers, and Verizon did the same. Not surprisingly, they soon worked it out. Netflix is not exactly a light weight, in any case.

Critical importance? Really? There was never any significant problem that net neutrality was designed to address. The whole thing is based on a straw man. Regulations of this kind of impact should only be used to address real and imminent issues in the market. A little spat between Netflix and Verizon (2 companies…

Things have long been oversimplified into “left” and “right.” While this had always led to some problems, it seems that now, more than ever, this 2 dimensional view of everything related to politics is leading to all kinds of false assumptions.

I think you need to go back and check the map. If there is any distinct correlation (I don’t think there is) to be gleaned from it, it shows places with large urban areas being most affected (not really a surprise given the way it is transmitted), with only a couple of outliers. The rust belt (i.e. the “Blue Wall”) is…

Criticism well taken. I probably used stronger language than I should have. Have a good night

Those things absolutely are public record, and he should use the official account for those things. That’s the point, keep it seperated. This particular tweet would have been appropriate for either, as it could be fairly interpreted either way. But in a few years, if he’s running for a 2nd term, I think it would he…

Well, if I had any influence on him, I would tell him to pretty much cut twitter entirely, at least until he formally announces his candidacy for the next term. Twitter is not exactly conducive for deep discussion, is it? And that’s not even getting into the idea of blocking certain people that he disagrees with,…

““Just closed a deal with Taiwan, one-China policy over! China = Losers” and then he were to delete it, that would VERY likely be in contravention of both FOIA and PRA statutory law.” 

I think you are missing the “very likely” part of the quote, which is demonstrably false, even by your own reasoning.

Yeah, I don’t mind people disagreeing. Kind of enjoy the banter, actually. It turns out, though, that I’m not white
