> we are "fixing" the transmission/encodings every few years. What a waste of resources we are creating
We are innovating to put more and more data in the same finite frequency spectrum by being cleverer.
Of course most of that extra data is cat videos and ads but that's not the scientist's fault

And if you want your vote to count then, do as Noman Tebbit would, get on your bike and move to a marginal constituency and vote in a close run election.
That's why the referendum was so popular, for 90% of voters it was the first time that their vote counted.
Simple, all you need to do is ensure that everything in the system from the ethernet cable to the link to the cloud and all the systems at the cloud data center are FDA approved and then get all the other aviation agencies around the world to agree (including the French) and you're done
Most famous is the "austerity is good economics" paper. which is true if you forget to include all countries beginning with A,B or C in the sum().
Here in British Columbia, Canada, there are life size cut-outs advising you to be one mountain lion body length, one golden eagle wingspan or one grizzly bear apart.
The number of covid cases is very low, but the deaths due to mountain lion grizzly bear and golden eagle are presumably rising
> Death Star was built by the baddies and destroyed by the goodies?
The Death Star was built by a strong leader who "drained the swamp" of the imperial senate.
It was guarded by a bunch of masked and unidentifiable federal stormtroopers dressed in white, who carried lots of guns but never managed to shoot straight and was destroyed by a bunch of robe wearing religious nutters from a desert flying a plane into it.
> if it is intended only for the FBI.
And the DoD, DHS, ICE, TSA, the secret service, US marshals, federal protection service, and coastguard and every state and county local police.
If you give each of 10,000 agencies their own unique secure 4 digit access code then you are perfectly secure.
It's election time, claiming that millions of Mexican rapists are heading for the border isn't going to work again - anyway they have his wall to protect them.
So the message is: the dems want health care so they're communist, I'm fighting communism.
In a way we're lucky, most Republicans this far behind would have invaded somewhere
Difficult to do continuous rollout testing for an election.
You could decide to redo the elections every month on patch tuesday but people might object
Best way is some sort of chaos-monkey approach where you try and inject some totally crazy inputs and see if it gets elected
>There is no credible reason to believe that reducing UK data protection to levels below GDPR is planned, useful or desirable.
Exactly, the whole point of Brexit was that as a sovereign nation we would be able to keep all the Eu regulations in place while dictating terms to those American colonials who would be desperate to trade with us any whatever terms we demanded.
>Photoshop taking 0.1 seconds to apply a filter as opposed to 0.2 seconds, for example, is not world changing.
But last years model being locked out of the app store is significant.
The 'nice' thing about software as a service is that you can obsolete your own products instantly
Pity the Germans weren't beer fans
Beer rating app reveals homes and identities of spies and military bods
( Leaving aside the details of this particular issue )
There is a reason for a HW maker to keep a driver closed source.
You make 2 models of a card, model A is $ while B can do more and costs $$
You could make 2 different chip sets but this would cost more, leaving you with A costing $$ and B $$$$
By using the same parts, but limiting one in software,,you can make both cards cheaper.
It's like banning first class on planes/trains - that would make economy much more expensive.
> I can't see this getting more favourable treatment unless it manages to not drag a supersonic shockwave behind it.
Or Boeing ensure that they have a friend in the EPA in the same way as the FAA.

No it wasn't just on the Gates building it applied to everyone.
In a purely coincidental simultaneous announcement staff were required to agree that the University had rights to all intellectual property they created and they weren't allowed to enter into any other agreements.
It was pointed out that this meant they couldn't work on GPL software or transfer any of their work to the public domain. But it took several years of campaigning by academics for the university to admit that this was a problem.
If you are under censure by the DoJ for naughtiness it isn't unreasonable for people to assume naughtiness in your actions
