I don't think your argument makes much sense. "Teen" pornography has plausible deniability (or whatever you want to call it) because it can be produced in a way that ensures that the actors are adults (though even that isn't always true). You have no such defense when it comes to material that one can assume is unlicensed, produced in countries with no such (de facto or not) regulation or when it comes to something like prostitution. I assume they didn't verify age of the participants. Not like "tube sites" are a particularly high horse to begin with since there is plenty of material out there that is not only unlicensed or piracy, but verifiably stolen. Which anyone who even pretend to care about privacy should be against.

Those are edge cases. Disappearing and living off the grid is not a sustainable or sane way to escape an abusive relationship, and (if you're an attractive white woman) can escalate to national manhunts which just piss everybody off in the end, least of all your abusive partner.

Abruptly disappearing is a behavioral pattern more common among the mentally ill than abuse victims, in which case alerting family is probably the most ethical thing one could possibly do. (If anything, the family themselves might not want to be contacted-- "oh, god, him again?")

> I'm not sure police or hospitals should be going around asking after anyone who's an adult who hasn't consented.

Everyone is someone's child, or parent. For the sake of a minority of lone wolves who just want to be left alone, why expect the rest of society to die alone in their hospital beds? Not everybody can even give consent, or are mentally sound enough to to do.

The most human thing we can do is to try to connect patients with their families, even if it goes wrong a small fraction of the time.

Not really. If you had experience trading other financial markets it was way easier. Because the crypto markets are still quite small, they are very inefficient, thus it's much easier to make money here than in the stock market for example.
Is this through a 401k or through individual IRA/investments accounts? If the latter, I'd suggest moving to a provider such as Vanguard, with very low expense ratios [1]. If through your 401k, I would suggest encouraging your employer to seek out options where you're not overcharged (preferably as a group of employees, as there is strength in numbers). Failing that, max out your 401k with just enough funds to obtain the full employer match, then fill your IRA(s), and then your taxable accounts.

Sorry to play exactly the role you are criticizing but my sense of irony implores me to point out that Trump was literally elected by a minority of people who voted, taking second place in the popular vote, so "supposedly a democracy" is a more apt phrase than I think you might have intended.

Your data shows that it's reasonably possible for it to spike again.

However the sort of mockery of people who do think that it's different this time (and I see it all the time, it's not just you) is sort of funny. As if people who don't have faith in Bitcoin are somehow the naive ones. As if it's established wisdom by now, proven time and again through the ages, that Bitcoin always bounces back and outdoes itself by a factor of 10.

Again, it's quite possible that it will. I'll likely buy in when I get around to it. But this attitude is just a little silly.
My personal take on that is: don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose.

Undoubtedly many are, probably even a majority. But what makes you say everyone is? To me the probability of that is close to zero.
Am I correct in understanding the new environment is built on essentially a ptrace sandbox? How does that impact performance? Is it still single threaded? If you're moved beyond single threads, how does the it cope with security problems endemic to userland sandboxing? (TOCTTOU issues as the 'hypervisor' verifies arguments, etc)

Are you willing to compare your approach to for example Lambda's approach, where the user gets an actual real Linux VM. with zero differences (Work that, incidentally was in part contributed to Linux by Google!), as opposed to a Linux emulator?

Because over time, stocks tend to increase in value, because you are investing in a company that is producing something of value. You have a reason to believe that stocks will increase in value over a long period of time, other than just historical information.
You are very right, I apologise for being very wrong. I would delete my comment but I think it's best to leave it.
I totally understand that. I think it depends on where you work though. I've worked for a couple gov contractors and it has it's upsides. It always seems to be effectively hourly work with a 40hr max work week. Projects can be (if you push for them) short and frequently varied which keeps things fresh and lets you learn/maintain a lot of different skills. The main downside IMO is that the DFARS are nuts but with the security environment we're in, their purpose is at least understandable if not their implementation.
This is really interesting and I would be very keen to hear more about it, like a blog post or something. I bet a lot of other people would be interested too.

You seem to think "checks and balances" means "we have so many ways to get what I want through and it's ok to use any of them in any ways as long as at the end what I want is getting done". It's not the case. "Checks and balances" does not mean "if legislature doesn't get us the result I want, we should try courts next". It means each branch of the government has its role, and for the courts it's upholding the existing law, not creating policy. It is clear that the current dispute is a policy/political one - should we follow one policy or another. The courts is exactly the wrong place to decide such things, no matter how many times you say "checks and balances".

> they argue the process by which the rule was passed was in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act

Which may or may not be true (most likely not, since it would be stupid to undermine important policy decision by not signing a proper form, but of course one should never overestimate the federal government workers and their capacity of keeping things orderly). But if it's true, then they can just re-pass the same decision, now signing all the proper forms in the proper places and the end effect would be colossal waste of time and money and the same outcome at the end of it. Since FCC is the one to decide the policy, and head of the FCC has decided to not have NN, arguing essentially "but you didn't fill the TPC report in triplicate!" is not an argument against the policy that can be effective. It's also not a proper way to enact a policy.

> they argue that the rule exceeds the FCC's authority

That sounds ridiculous. Instituting NN does not exceed FCC authority, but reverting to pre-2015 does? I am not a lawyer, but for a common person that makes zero sense.

> by preventing states from enacting their own net neutrality regulation.

Hasn't then 2015 ruling been equally invalid for preventing states from enacting their own policies which do not include net neutrality regulations? If we argue it should be in the state level (which I'm always fine with) then 2015 rule should be rescinded and they should sue for restricting the current rule only to federal policy but allow states to enact their own policies. But don't they sue for reinstating 2015 policy instead?
Signals were given. The RSI and stochastic RSI both gave loud signals that a reversal was going to take place when it did.
> A lender called Rose Mortgage had originated the loan, then sold it to Option One Bank, which sold it to Lehman Brothers, which sold it to Lehman’s fully owned subsidiary Structured Asset Securities Corporation, which pooled the loan into Structured Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage ­Pass-Through ­Certificates, Series ­2006-Z, whose investors were now alleged to be the owner of Ibanez’s note. U.S. Bank was appointed trustee of the securitized trust, to enforce the payment of the notes, and, if necessary, to foreclose on defaulting homeowners such as Antonio Ibanez.

This statement is truly mind-boggling. Took me a minute or two to understand what was going on (or what I think was

Just look at the valuation of the dot-com bubble, which was mostly US driven. The market went up to about $10tn (in todays dollars).

I know this isn't one of those two options, but I'd recommend a static site generator (e.g., Lektor, Hugo, Nikola, Pelican, Octopress). I find myself wasting less time twiddling and configuring them and instead focusing on writing content (in Markdown or ReStructured Text, no less).

Additionally, I can then throw the content up on GitHub pages or AWS S3 and cut down on hosting costs.
If you buy into the story that Bitcoin is the future and your fiat currency is headed into oblivion, which is fairly orthodox on Bitcoin forums, then it starts to seem like a more sensible, conservative choice.
Don't know about the US but here it would be reason enough for my employer to terminate me right away. This is the default for employments. For work on the side, I need to ask my employer for permission. My employer will then be concerned that all labour protection laws will not be violated, which for example means that my employer must accept that I might not be able to work overtime for them, with a side contract, because I would surpass a 10h per day threshold

To cut the long story short: I would politely declined that model, even though I think it is sensible.
H.L. Mencken had a strong antipathy to teachers, and maths specifically.

Rather a disappointment.
Well, if the decision is "should we have state-enforced net neutrality regulations" then there would be "yes" and "no" sides I assume. Given binary-partisan US politics, there would be natural alignment of parties along such sides, but the yes/no question would remain even if we didn't have any parties at all.

> It doesn't explain why some people NEVER have to diet while other go through life starving but still gain weight

This is simply not true. I monitored behaviors of my friends or asked them probing questions where I suspected this was the case. They may 'skip dinner' or 'have a light dinner' the day you watched them gorge on cake, but you might not see that. They may run 10 miles the day after eating the same Mexican food as you.

Same with other side, people who say they don't gain weight in spite of eating 1000s of calories in surplus just aren't eating 1000s of calories in surplus. They think they are because they often eat candy, ... but they may take a bite or two and 'save the rest for later', or 'have dessert for dinner' and think that's eating lots of calories.

They may also be taller than you by a couple inches and you're underestimating the effect height has.
That seems reasonable as far as time commitment. But, problems like that typically have about 2-4 ways to code them, and usually 1-2 obvious ways. Not to mention, it’s going to be a max of maybe 25 lines of code. That makes me skeptical of the plagiarism detector, because it seems like it would either not detect much, or it could end up being overly sensitive.
On their FAQ: "Is Titan a hedge fund?: No. You are not investing in a hedge fund. Hedge funds pool their investors’ dollars together and each investor is treated the same. We keep your money in your own individual account and personalize this based on your risk tolerance and investment goals. Titan invests you like an active manager, with the personalization of an advisor in your pocket."

I could definitely not be understanding what they are saying, but it does say they are not pooling.

Because of minimizing risk, and minimizing transaction fees.

If you buy 100 stocks and 10 of them go to 0 you are out 10%. However, if the other 90 stocks are up more than 15% then you have gained a little money.

But, if you buy 100 different stocks by hand then you pay 100 different transaction fees and have to keep track of them independently for tax etc.
the loan was presumably sold off, and then again, and again, and again... and suddenly there was divergence, and it was sold off yet some more
I've realized that not having any debt seems to be the exception rather than the norm, even tho I'm not even from the US.

But it's not that big of a mental jump to make, isn't college education also a kind of long-term gamble with debt? You take on huge debt to get an education that will maybe allow you to make a high enough income to pay back your debt in a reasonable time.

For some that gamble pays off, for others, not so much.

As a personal anecdote: I'm far from being wealthy, but I've always made sure to never have debt. A very good friend of mine, only a few years older, is right now going through personal bankruptcy due to some rather adventurous choices in his younger years.

But he still doesn't seem like he's learned anything. When talking about potential financial investments he always treats me like I'm some kind of millionaire as my good credit history, and meager savings, could easily get me very high loans.

It's like some people see their total credit limit, across several institutions, as their actual own capital in a very naive "As long as somebody is gonna give it to me, it's mine!" way.

Yes, but electric companies don't charge differently for different appliances that one is using (they couldn't know anyway), but it's applying those high peak rates globally and indiscriminately. The problem with internet post net neutrality is that internet providers could pick and choose based on what service one uses.

And we all know that internet providers try to be something else besides moving the byte across the network. They want to be telcos, they want a share of the media and grab whatever they could get their hands on. Net neutrality, from my understanding, attempted to prevent just that.

I would be OK with whatever speed I want to purchase and be stuck with that speed no matter what content I am choosing to consume. And in high demand if they chose to charge higher rates indiscriminately I'd be OK with that.

If their pipes are at full capacity they should charge more but indiscriminately!
Lawfare is not when just somebody sues somebody else. It's when lawsuits are used to achieve goals that go way beyond and not connected with upholding the law - such as to enforce specific policy through courts, failing to pass it through legislative or executive branches.
It sounds like they are not removing the category but the ability to exclude members from those categories from any ad. This shows that they didn’t trust real-estate agents to declare their ads as related to housing. I’m wondering if that means that they don’t expect to be able to target ads on political topics, and maintain the requirements on proving your identity.

At the bottom of your Wikipedia article there is a more relevant case:

"While the Marsh holding at first appears somewhat narrow and inapplicable to the present day due to the disappearance of company towns from the United States, it was raised in the somewhat high-profile 1996 cyberlaw case, Cyber Promotions v. America Online, 948 F. Supp. 436, 442 (E.D. Pa. 1996). Cyber Promotions wished to send out "mass email advertisements" to AOL customers. AOL installed software to block those emails. Cyber Promotions sued on free speech grounds and cited the Marsh case as authority for the proposition that even though AOL's servers were private property, AOL had opened them to the public to a degree sufficient that constitutional free speech protections could be applied.

The federal district court disagreed, thereby paving the way for spam filters at the Internet service provider level."

I'm from rural Eastern Colorado (think Kansas but you can see a mountain far off) and I've know farmers/ranchers who've committed suicide but I don't think any was due to financial stress. It's anecdotal but all were doing quite well. I think the lack of meaning in their lives due to farm subsidies in the form of soil conservation may be the root cause.

Every farmer knows how the game is played. Do whatever it takes to get several years of high yields, then you'll be offered money from the gov to not farm, based on those yields.

But nobody tells them about the depression that sets in when a farmer is paid to not farm - to loose the teleo of one's existence. It's sad to see and since those "soil conservation" contacts can be up to 10 years long, it's a long time to get out of that funk.

Again, anecdotal, but I've never heard of a farmer who had land to work and the ability to work it commit suicide.
Loans and mortgages were sold by the banks to other companies:
