You presume that saving money on stamps (which are less than $1 and locked to inflation) is more important than universal service. Why?
Unless you have an elected position or the position needs to be filled ignoring the wishes of the local group that would select a replacement that is kind of true. Local elections have real value. But splintering a…
Each post office has individual leadership which serves the purpose of that principle.
Universal service obligations have been some of the least effective tools used... After all what constitutes not servicing? How would a state run service be better?
Germany is 4% of America in size. A single US state with decent population density wouldn't need a nationalized system either. The USPS gets a monopoly because it is required to go everywhere. If a private company…
You are generally guarding against the device being shutdown. Anything assuming the OS is running is already into "well that is easy" territory since if the OS is running those keys are in the same place as this attack…
"Ignoring tax consequences" when talking about government funding? That makes your entire response worthless.
You need to only have the ability to execute code after the hibernation not before and the machine needs to be permanently unavailable to the user after. As I said quite rare situations. If you can read this kind of…
You need to get quite specific on actual attacks to call this insecure to be clear. Having access to the raw RAM of a machine suspended but demanding the key to resume is certainly possible but the number of attacks…
What capital gains? The governments balance sheet doesn't matter... Think of it like the original Bitcoin wallet, its value is $0 because none of those will ever be sold. If dividends are involved it could matter but…
> These should never be sold and then taken away with no compensation like this. I don't think it is reasonable to bundle those ideas together. Companies renegading on their promise of perpetual access is not the same…
Unfortunately the group that has the most control doesn't care. The majority of anything around DMCA is likely legitimate complaints so dealing with it is weird, since making it more painful for content producers to…
> Sometimes, hardware is cheaper than human coordination. A t3.small on AWS costs $182.21 a year before any discounts and has 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. So the computer to run the example at the start costs 3 hours of…
It goes the other way too, sometimes you trigger some optimization silliness in the driver and the game needs to adapt to avoid it.
My bad I meant original example. I agree the "you agreed to auto renewal" silliness happens everywhere. Likely the difference is court costs.
That can happen in the US too... When you agree to a contract you are bound to the terms of it. Why do you think it is so common to hear horror stories about gym memberships? But in your example no one agreed to the…
In the US these kinds of scam fail to be legal on the basis of contract law which is way more nuanced than "can't do this"... I am not talking about common sense I am talking about things like informed consent and…
Honestly I am surprised that tackling a method of easily collecting approval votes hasn't been done yet. Like even in the abstract "here is what a voting sheet would look like" that isn't meaningfully more complex. To…
A government that cannot commit violence is toothless. How do you enforce court rulings? We shouldn't be ignorant of how the violence is committed and restrictions should be numerous and enforced for sure. But presuming…
Government has control by virtue of existing. If you say government control is bad in general you are just saying there shouldn't be government. This is impossible as the things the government does will happen it would…
I agree and that was my criticism specifically. Don't say "government involvement is bad" specify what exactly you mean.
Your analysis presumes that the government is controlled by a single group which hasn't historically been the case. This weird hyper politicization is young in terms of the US. And again you don't acknowledge that…
Are they actually legal? Generally those kind of scams setup an illegitimate transaction that would be reversed in a court case. Whether they rise to a criminal matter is complicated but the vast majority of such scams…
On the one hand giving parties more power sounds a little gross. On the other hand I don't know a solve for every bill having less than a handful of votes that are bipartisan...
A lot of things are easier at the federal level. After all the federal budget is so large because you can swap states but you can't get away from the IRS.
