So what? It is perfectly legal for me to choose to sit in a cubicle and rot away the best years of my life, a fate little better than as clinical psychosis. Let people do the things they want with their own lives.
This is what happened in Spain too.
Yes, that kind of skimmer I'm familiar with. The reason those skimmers are so easy to detect is because they need to mount on the outside which makes it unnaturally bulky, and sometimes also contain a camera to monitor the keypad.

I'm not too worried about those because those are pretty easy to spot, especially those with cameras. But this internal skimmer is more like a pump "root kit" you can't see...
You doubt incorrectly :) From Amazon.de: "If you want to return an article within Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland or Portugal, we even supply you with a pre-paid return mailing label"

Sometimes they even let you keep the item. I barely buy anything from them, but I had that happen earlier this month with an item worth ~30€, despite choosing the option that indicated it was my fault.
Not as bad a mistake as the Challenger Disaster (engineers knew it would happen, but management ignored them).
Most Linux users would have been caught the same way, what with PPAs and autoupdates. If a trusted party is compromised, it's essentially game over.

Indeed, cars/motor vehicles are much more dangerous.

In terms of repercussions, I was talking about the act of breaking traffic laws/rules themselves rather than actually causing a serious accident. With a registered vehicle, one can record a number plate and report it (or have red-light cameras). I would expect this to have an impact on behaviour.
I'm waiting for someone to justify this with a warped sense of "economics".
It's interesting though how informally liberal UK is about drugs, at the same time.
Well good luck getting around the RBI.
> then go to the pump and fetch the skimmer again? Presumably you'd want to remove the skimmer from the machine to avoid detection anyway?

They care more about getting arrested than their skimmer getting detected - and physically removing a skimmer is the second most dangerous part of the scam (the first is installing one, of course.) These things are cheap enough that it probably makes more sense from a risk/benefit analysis to just leave there forever and pick up the results over bluetooth until the skimmer disappears.
The attacker doesn't want to open the pump again. Can you imagine how much attention that draws? These devices are so cheap they are throwaway. Most crimes are that of opportunity: install the skimmer and try to get whatever you can get. If the attacker can keep revisiting the machine, posing as a customer, it's the least risky way to harvest data. If the skimmer gets found, aw shucks on to the next one.
Most states wont even allow you to collect your own rain water to drink it.
Uber: We don’t have to pay drivers based on rider fares
The article is trying so hard it's hard to tell what the actual issue is.

It is dangerous to backfeed the grid -- you may kill the line worker coming to fix a blown transformer or downed line.

In some places a grid connection is considered necessary by the building code. If so, you must use proper equipment.

I can't see how anyone would think this was a good idea. I expect respect for the law to plummet faster than you can say "Dad. Can you please give us non-rotten food?"
You can DRM images with EME fairly easily: you just have a single frame video. And you can always take the Twitter approach with text and just render it into an image, which is then just a single frame video.

That said, the text option is not that realistic as long as there are legal obligations as regards accessibility, which will require the accessibility tree to contain a closed captioned version of the media (and that isn't encrypted).

My vision of it is Flow and TS and stuff prevent 15% of bugs that the beginner and intermediate level developers typically make, but engineers on the advanced and higher levels avoid these bugs by just writing a good code in any language they use.
Is there a book that teaches how to use assembly with Fresh IDE?
I didn't say you wouldn't save compared to some other solution. I said it's not as simple as just buying. You'll have loss no matter your estimate.

And as I said to a sibling comment below, you can't always just buy excess. You have budgets you need to stay under, to support everything you handle.

Consumer grade is not the same as buying from the same places we buy, either. You have to use approved vendors, which add their own markup. What you or I may buy for $5 might only be available for $25.

I should note that it isn't usually a close up. It's often just pictures of unsuspecting individuals (almost always female.)

The "problem" is that some pervs like to use these types of non-nude images as visual stimuli for auto erotic activities.

The only legal issue I see is when the photographs are of underage girls in sexually provocative poses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COPINE_scale

In the UK, the COPINE scale applies to such images and may classify them depending on the individual images.

In the USA, the law is more nebulas. Interpretation of the poses and the context of distribution would probably come into play. IANAL

a lot of drugs used to be legitimate drugs,but are now illegal to be able to sell other shitty substances which are more expensive and often less effective. example: mdma treatment for ptsd. most ptsd treatments are ill effective these days, but before wo2 mdma treatment was very effective. it's now only able to be given in certain places, usually from people who can't licence themselves properly, adding risk to this treatment where before it was solid.
http://www.mdmaptsd.org/news.html
most banned substances are just 'buisness deals' between pharma industry and government.
For the US people, this is not just due to war on drugs. war on drugs is an effect , not a cause.
It'd still be nice if you could temporarily disconnect in order to power your own home, though.
> is it beneficial for google to lock their code up behind a DRM blob? of course it is.

No, it's not. Their code is locked behind… uh… A SERVER. You could never see the server side code, and it's always been that way.

They do not give a flying fuck about people looking at their JavaScript UI code! That code is really, really NOT where the value is. The value is in the service — the databases full of data, the user accounts.
Knowing nothing about the situation in Spain I'm going to guess because power plants see it as a threat to their business.

Is there any messaging app that uses a single chain of US, Russian and Chinese encryption technology so that neither of them can decrypt the whole thing? I would only trust such an app ;-)
Well, it's still not standardized web DRM. It's an API to access DRM. Chrome/Firefox can use Widevine, but Safari will only use Apple FairPlay.
You can point fingers and say it was them lobbying, but everyone who didn't do something to act in the opposite direction could have influenced but didn't.

I say this not to blame more but to motivate people to take responsibility and to act, to stop people from thinking they're powerless (no pun intended).
Well a lot I'd say, given that your home has to conform to tons of local building codes.
Yes, it's required for generators too. You have to install some sort of switch (I forgot what it's called) so the house power doesn't feed back into the grid and kill a lineman.

The title is very misleading as well. Just goes to show that Fox News and their ilk aren't the only ones who do fake news, it's journalism in general.

Also, the title is an outright lie: "Thanks to Lobbying, It's Illegal to Power Your Home with Solar Panels in Florida"
For each transaction a set of very flexible rules is being executed with the aim to perform a number of verifications.

Card Verification

- no verification (just read magstripe or magstripe equivalent from chip or contactless card that does not have any more advanced verification mechanism)

- static verification - for chip, card sends static signature along with the data so that the terminal can verify electronic signature

- dynamic verification - for chip, card accepts challenge and generate response so that the terminal can verify the signature. This also makes it much more difficult to copy the card because it is not enough to copy the available data, you also need to copy the key that is embedded in the card.

Cardholder Verification

- no verification -- sometimes no cardholder verification will be performed (for example contactless under certain limit, unattended terminals without PIN capability or on a plane when there is special rules for airline terminals because people are typically verified separately)

- Signature -- this is where US is stuck it seems

- offline plaintext PIN -- cardholder enters pin, terminal sends the pin to the card, card responds if the pin is correct -- this is the source of most of the skimming problem

- offline encrypted PIN -- same as above but the pin is being encrypted with a key established securely with the card. This is safe but the cards cost more.

- online PIN -- the PIN is never exchanged with the card, it is encrypted and sent to the bank and bank decides whether it likes it or not.

Transaction verification

- floor limit -- sometimes the transaction can be agreed between the terminal and the card. Typically there is some information stored on the card and set of rules that decide that this is possible. The card may be decreasing a limit of funds available offline and when it hits the limit it will force you to perform full chip transaction.

- online verification -- the message goes online to the bank and bank decides.
The issue is there's a difference between where the money comes from (capex vs opex for a simplified and incorrect example). Your support areas don't get the same budget as your construction areas. And when money runs out for the year you still have to keep thinngs running.

And while I agree that excess stock costs pale in comparison to a sub or boat, multiply that by every part necessary to keep one operational, and then face all the people every year who say the defense budget needs cut.
ok, so its illegal to power your home with solar... but is it illegal to charge a battery with solar in Florida?

Powerwalls would still be viable and legal right?

Good points about bitcoin, but really that holds true of everything. I don't understand why gold always gets a pass here, everyone assumes it has some magic intrinsic value. But the same rule applies. It's worth what other people are willing to give you for it. I'd wager that the value of a fresh loaf of bread has held its value more consistently than an ounce of gold over 10 years. The only advantages gold has over bitcoin is that gold has some useful chemical properties (which probably have little to do with its current price) and it has a lot longer history as being used as currency, which I think is the real reason we value gold today. It is valued because it is valued.
WASM is strictly less powerful than JS.
The title of this article is quite misleading. It's not saying that it's illegal to have solar panels powering your home, only to have a solar system that does not tie into the grid. Then making it seem that requiring anti-islanding protection is some act of malice.

How come solar panels are ubiquitous elsewhere? Is it that e.g. Germany is risking the lives of line workers? Is Florida doing the right thing, or the wrong thing?
> If most users start doing returns, they won't be free or even possible, given how much logistical nightmare that will be.

Would this nightmare be worse than unlimited 1-day shipping? Amazon seems to have worked that one out already.

Most places would allow you to print a label and leave the item at a designated collection point. In the UK there's heaps of companies handling this (CollectPlus, MyHermes, ParcelPoint, even Post Offices).
So can alcohol, plus a lot more other very dangerous side-effects. Also, while not psycho-active, tobacco, coffee and even chocolate are very addictive substances and high-risk for some groups of people, too. So while technically true that cannabis is not without it's risks, it's not a valid argument against it unless they plan on banning half of the food that we eat...
That would suck, but EME has existed for several years (and Silverlight/Flash DRM before that) and I don't think the educational course providers ever embraced DRM??

The same state rules require a breaker-switch on the solar panel feed, disconnecting it from the grid [1]. However, customers are not allowed to use that switch - it's for FPL use only.

In other words, lobbying is great and there should be more of it!

I think people here are disappointed not so much in this particular outcome, but the harmful effects of a political system that is nearly entirely fueled by lobby money.

I mean, in other countries they call that "corruption".
I am also wary of the mass legalization of illicit drugs, mainly because of the already huge problem my states has with opiates. I think it's a good goal, but should I really believe that the "regulated" decriminalized drug market is going to be that much better than the already heavily regulated prescription drug market? Maybe once the US can get it together with it's painkiller problem I'd be more inclined to believe in total decriminalization. I would like to see how a system like Portugal's works with opiates in US before I'd hop on board for the whole shebang. However, it seems unlikely to happen since it's already hard enough to get tax payers to sport for Narcan let alone the drugs themselves.
Most people will not complain or even consider change as long as their basic animal needs are met.

Water, food, shelter and enough entertainment, alcohol or prescription painkillers to keep them docile enough to never question the actions of the genuinely obscenely wealthy and powerful that actually direct the course of human society for their own benefits.

If you want a change to this system you're going to need a total collapse first, which won't happen for a few decades at least (if it ever does) as the system is so geared towards maintaining itself (the status quo and every career politician produced by it) and resisting change.

A good start mibght be including three subjects in the education curriculum from childhood; Personal Financial Education, Ethics and Civics. I can guess why these things are longer part of the mandatory education systems in the west though.

That's why you end up with FPTP political systems where neither of your potential leadership candidates are even worth considering, and why financial services corporations continue to behave the same way they did prior to each and every economic crash they caused in the last century.

Of course, the burden of repairing the damage caused by the outrageously greedy and irresponsible always falls to the lowest working and middle classes.

This statement is SO RIDICULOUS it just broke my brain. How?! Why?!

Even the evil movie companies don't want to prevent you from sharing your home video online.
Read the law. It is illegal to have a home not connected to the grid at all. so there is no danger about a backfeed since the 2 systems never meet.

What FPL has done is require that solar installations get signed off by their electricians. And they delay, delay and delay that certification process. Meanwhile, you are paying for the cells and installation and it sits unused indefinitely.

Some local power companies had that inserted into city code.
I can see an opportunity here for the grid to become owned/operated by the people, not massive corporate greed machines. A house who has excess sells it to neighbors who do not have the solar capacity where neither are connected to the normal grid. Throw some technology into automatically shutting down the generator side every X hours unless its given authorization wirelessly. This foolproofs the root cause of uncontrollable distributed hot lines.

Cheques are uncommon in Europe now-a-days.
True, but a lot of those people would rather use a safer language to prevent those bugs than write preventative code every single time, or remember to replace built in language features with their own functions every time.
Oh wow, that's a really good find, thanks!
PHP is designed around handling HTTP requests and responses, so it already comes with a lot of the functionality you would need to import into other languages. Whether or not that's an advantage or a hindrance is in the eye of the beholder.

Weird? Netflix is one of the only users of EME. Movie rights owners require DRM, Netflix distributes their content, Netflix wants a more standardized way than Silverlight.
This is wrong, otherwise we won't install them. When they need to work they can cut the line without problem.

Also you can run the system in autonomous mode, no risk at all for worker, even it's a lie.

The same regulations exist in Germany also there is no way around them, in the UK if you want to either backfeed or connect a solar (or any other power source ) installation directly to your house mains you have to tick a ton of boxes including giving the power company control over the feed (basically when they shut down the power they also shut you down).

If you have a completely segregated solar installation no one cares.
I assume there's battery systems in place.
So it helps developers that need it and does not get in the way of developers that don't ? Then its a win without any downsides.
Since 2008, given all the failed past predictions about the fed being unable to wind-down its balance sheet, failed predictions of TARP being a failure, failed predictions that rising interest rates would hurt the US economy, and failed predictions about how the fed ending QE would hurt the economy, I have every reason to believe, even without knowing all the details of this story or having any claim to clairvoyance, that this too is nothing to worry about and will pass like all the other doom and gloom premonitions. Against all odds, policy makers keep pulling through, defying predictions of doom. It doesn't always make sense, but sometimes you have to suspend skepticism and put your faith in IQ and policy. The EMH also stipulates that this is wind-down is already priced into the bond and stock markets, so betting against the bond market in anticipation of these bonds flooding the market, is far from a sure-fire strategy.
Email is impossible to secure precisely because of federation.
I think the title is right in spirit.

The law forbids you to use power from your own solar panels if the grid is offline. This is a nonsense requirement.

Also the law requires you to use the same inhouse wiring as the grid for power from the solar panels. Why should anyone care about how you wire your own home, as long as your interface with the outside world is according to spec?
There is still typically dilution when the central banks buys bonds, only that it's indirect - coming from the increased (overheated?) market value of the mansion(s) used as collateral for the bond.

It's definitely increasing the money supply in that case. If the assets are valuated at the correct price is another issue...
Your point two is not absolutely correct. Falling bond yields do not inherently cause a rise in stock process "simply because of their inverse relationship." For one thing, this could further depress the value of the dollar and drove capital away from the US, hurting bonds and equities alike.
Yes but even the pure, quality drugs like adderall, which is really amphetamine can be dangerous.

For opiates, especially people injecting, it is very inportant to get clean drugs, and actually opiates are not particularly harmful to the body if used correctly. They also don’t really present a threat to society if given the drug. Holland has provided addicts with heroin with great success, as a form of treatment.
> ... have to install some sort of switch ...

A qualified electrician installs a "transfer" switch. It's two breakers tied mechanically so that one position feeds the house with line power, flipping it, the other is the generator.

I'm looking over my balcony in Spain and can see quite a few solar panels! Maybe they are for hot water heaters or something then.
