Maybe most people pay this but not everybody does so it's not aproportioned.

It's clearly not a tax on incomes either.

Non-delegation was a dumb strategy, sorry.

Let?

If you allow WPA2 anyone with a laptop and Kali can get on in under an hour.

Depends on who you're defending against.

Spooks will probably get on while you're away when an IoT device associates and set up an APT in your printer.

Which violates the 3rd Amendment IMO but I LARP as someone living in a Republic.

> What am I overlooking?

Browser sandbox escapes?

Depends on who's targeting you. As far as I know ad malware hasn't gone for exploits to set up APT's in printers ... yet.

But why wouldn't the spooks or spearfishermen?

If you lost all your crypto in a boating accident you're probably fine.

Not tested here yet, but this exists:

I'm a bit hesitant as I don't remember the outcome of the Brother toner lockin scare a few months back. I think it wound up being overblown but I'll check before updating.

Worst case I move the printers to their own subnet, because I probably should have a decade ago.

This is such common knowledge there's a traditional aphorism for it. See subject.

The real benefit of this research:

"Money please!"

It might be possible to decellularize the heart and then use pluripotent stem cells to rebuild it but it might also need to be exercised for a while before implantation

A main advantage would be, aside from rejection, that an artificial heart could be used for a couple months while it grows. This would save donor heart supply.

Good idea, I think.

The article is paywalled but if the profits outweigh the consequences they'll stay.

Russia has some businesses practices that are illegal but reasonable so the fines are $30 a year. Some politician got his win but not really.

It's either cynical or a business license depending on how you look at it. In many US places being in businesses is illegal if you don't pay the government for the privilege of earning a living.

On the other hand EU fines US Big Tech hundreds of millions for stuff they don't like. Apple is implementing several functions that were "technically impossible" just a year ago.

But, yes, if the liability is high they have to leave to protect their investors.

Yeah, I use wifi printing almost exclusively these days. Can't remember the last time I plugged a printer wire into my laptop.

Source? The article says that California alone shipped 864 shipping containers of plastic to Malaysia... and California was second to Georgia in the amount shipped.

Source? There was no indication that this was sorted plastic, and I would find that quite unlikely, since labor costs of sorting are much lower in Malaysia than in the US.

They are taking the plastic because they are being paid to take it, not because they want it. According to the article:

"...only a fraction of the exports ever get recycled," said Puckett ..."The plastics that are not feasible to be recycled are often hazardous, or contain microplastics, which are commonly dumped, burned, or released into waterways."

Yet another reason to use open source virtualization - the legal cost of proprietary can be unbounded.

Plenty of former Oracle customers use PostgreSQL now for similar reasons.

The Fortune 50 can afford the risk of proprietary but most small businesses can't.

Unless you violate the BusyBox license you shouldn't have any worries.

I wonder if any insurers are covering this yet.

A full system crash is a bad thing - most people could agree to this.

So after all the kerfuffle about IDE controllers having master/slave drives, microcode blacklists being offensive, etc. Microsoft of all companies is making their crash screen black?

I don't care but it's shockingly inconsistent.

At least the Andorians won't be offended anymore.

People ought to be incentivized to reduce plastic on their own, especially food, due to the estrogenic effects.

They say it's a "great mystery" why males have historical low testosterone and women have messed up cycles.

I just found out last week that my chewing gum (notionally a xylitol-carrier) is made with "gum base" which I presumed is a mixture of several plant and tree gums.

Nope! FDA allows, and the market dominates, mixtures containing polyethylene, polystyrene, etc. Real gums went out when I was a kid.

I'm not on the microplastics scare wagon but this is out of control!

Bobby is doing great things with coal tar dyes, so maybe there's hope for plastics (then wheat contaminants, ideally).

Both methods can get you "a job".

If you want to be a 9-5'er that's fine but outside of the trades that's really unstable work. Pink slips and bankruptcies everywhere.

Work your social networks (family, church, community groups) for opportunities to earn money on your terms, if you can handle it.

He's starting out great with Krypto the Super-Dog!

Interesting because the moral argument is about reproduction.

I own a notepad and a pencil. But if I start writing "A long time ago in Galaxy far, far away" and continue as such, 'you' will threaten to beat me up and put me in a cage for years (if I persist despite threats).

That just obliterates real property rights in favor of imaginary property rights. And real property rights are the basis of a peaceful civilization.

On the other hand, the AI bros have a moral obligation to not suddenly destroy society's creative engine of thinkers to make a quick buck.

On the other ... tail ... the lizard at Facebook has no morals. People expect their government to protect them from such predators because their government school taught them a fairy tale version of what government is.
