So a locomotive floats. Interesting.

Is it possible for you to challenge the status quo?

For example, refuse to present anything unless at least three members of the audience agree to share their feedback in the session.

Or alternatively, include in your presentation direct questions to specific members of the audience (either pre-arranged, or spontaneous).

Any "legally-binding, two-party transaction" between an individual and a large corporate conglomerate is a lost battle (or more precisely, a not-even-fought battle) for the vast majority of individuals.

80% of buyers of anything simply smash "Accept" (and watch through ads/spam) until their device shows the content they wanted to access. (Statistic is made up, but I think it's hard to refute.)

Do you call that "explicit consent"?

I'm talking of a world in which laws are strong and well written enough that people don't need to worry; they can mash that Accept button and not be getting screwed over.

We agree that most peopke aren't equipped to provide informed consent and "buyer beware" won't work. For these the government steps in - car & plane safety for example.

Has anyone tried arguing they didn't actually consent even though they clicked accept?

> Friedman [...] advocates a deal with Iran which would essentially allow it a secure sphere of influence in the region and an alliance with Turkey to counterbalance Iran and Israel.

Seems to be in contradiction.

I think the idea is 3 regimes in power to keep a balance between them instead of two rivals?

Quite confusing how the referenced paper [1] juxtaposes Guatemala, Panama, and the (British) Columbia region of Canada.

Unless they actually meant Colombia. But peer review would certainly catch that.

The paper doesn't seem to mention Canada anywhere. Columbia has coastlines on the Pacific and Caribbean. I can see how the adjective stack could lead a person astray tho.

  In the 1970’s this species was common in the Bay of Panama, Panama, and commercial shrimp trawlers found individuals on the northern Pacific coast of Columbia.

So they (and you) really meant Colombia instead.

You go to the settings in the car screen and remove that device from the list of authorized devices.

Decision from the judge "Issuance of the injunction precluding Bluebird's use of the Twitter-formative marks is contingent on X Corp.'s posting of a $500,000 bond."

Both X Corp. and Bluebird have asked to go to court on Nov 2027.

A place where anyone can post messages and reply to messages.

You can interact with it via raw TCP, raw UDP, HTTP, email, ssh, ping payload, ping cadence (Morse-style), DNS, or even raw printer commands.

What I find most interesting is the variety of methods to post. I mean, morse ping-cadence - is that even feasible, over a network path? Imagine! Yer printer becomes sentient: It can only scream over PS ...

  "planned": [
    "coap",
    "mqtt",
    "syslog",
    "tftp",
    "printer ipp :631 / lpd :515",
    "aprs bridge"
  ],

So this is explicitly built for partially-contained agents who have the normal protocols/methods blocked, right?
