Let me be clear: the amount of energy imparted by millimeter-length radio waves is not enough at the relevant intensities to cause damage. I doubt you’d even get so much as a fraction of a fraction of a degree Fahrenheit difference in temperature from even long-term exposure to 5G. And that’s setting aside the incredibly short range of 5G.
In a written statement, Hill vowed to "defend the constitutionality of Indiana's civil forfeiture laws" by asking the Indiana Supreme Court to review [Judge] Todd's ruling.
Uhhh… Todd ruled that way because SCOTUS told him to. The state Supreme Court can’t overrule them.
The wavelengths used for 5G cannot penetrate further than human skin. Any allegations of potential health effects (good or bad) from exposure to 5G that relate to anything other than the skin are completely baseless. Furthermore, since it’s not ionizing radiation, the worst that could happen is heat damage, and that has already been shown to not be an issue at the exposure levels being dealt with here. The amount of power used for these antenna is irrelevant. The Sun has far more power, anyways, even after factoring in distance.
As for being cooked from the inside, that’s not how microwaves or radio waves work. Microwaves heat things from the outside in, not the other way around. Try heating some lasagna or pasta in the microwave. The outside will be substantially warmer than the inside. Since, again, human skin can block 5G, the same applies there. (Also, millimeter 5G has a lower frequency—and thus less energy—than microwaves, so they are worse at increasing heat.)
Look, I understand high-frequency radio waves; there’s nothing scary about them.
[Lynch] said City Hall was blaming Officer Garcia for carrying out the policy it had created.
I’m sorry, but where in the policy did it say that officers must punch, sit on, and handcuff people violating the social distancing orders? No one’s blaming Garcia for carrying out the policy but how he did it.
Those who can’t provide trustworthy sources that support their claims are only deluding themselves and should seek deeper meaning in their lives. I feel bad for them.
Here’s the issue: when the court voids a change made, those requirements don’t apply. The FCC has to publish the changes that they make with enough lead time, but not the court’s decision to void that those changes. Such court decisions are effectively retroactive in a sense: it’s as if the changes never happened in the first place.
More importantly, I’m fairly certain that the judge can set deadlines for changes to take effect.
At least such an idea would be unconstitutional, since a permanent government-enforced monopoly would violate the part of the Constitution that allows Congress to write laws granting copyrights and patents.
I think the idea is that the legislature (and the executive branch) can delegate their constitutional powers to another, even if the recipient is another branch of the government. While not expressly in the state or federal constitutions, there is a lot of case law supporting this as a valid transfer, even if conditional.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Forum conventions aren't my bag
Since you apparently can’t be bothered to read longer comments (even though many of yours are just as long if not longer, which is often why many of my posts are so long), I’ll just briefly address a few points.
And again you yourself now acknowledge that you are specifically getting push notices of my comments. As you are well aware that only I respond long after the articles popularity wanes.
Actually, I get push notices of everyone’s comments. Stop making this all about you.
Then, when you specifically show up, that's when the flagging really begins, as I have noted over the last week that no posts were flagged off UNTIL you showed up. […]
So, yeah, TL:DR. I can't get past your lies, nor will I further engage with your book-bombs, mis-statements, and mis-characterizations.
Again, I have observed otherwise. Posts would be hidden before I began participating. I’m sorry that you don’t believe me, but it’s the truth. I don’t really think either of us can prove definitively one way or the other, and at any rate, I don’t have that kind of power (nor can I think of a way I could).
At one point in my notes, I wrote "its surprising that the troll bhull has not yet come to this thread yet." You appeared shortly thereafter.
I had other things on my mind, like work, so I took a short break from Techdirt. When I came back, I did what I always do and go back through the articles I missed, including the comments. This has happened on several past occasions, so there’s nothing strange about that. If you had bothered to check, you’d see that I also posted comments in threads that didn’t involve you around the same time and on other articles.
And, you do, Stephen T. Stone does, SDM (aka Claus) does, and a few other named parties who have routinely and specifically targeted my speech, while leaving all kinds of racist, sexist, etceterist speech go un-policed in the same threads.
I haven’t really been policing that sort of speech—at least not here—and that wasn’t really my point, anyway. It doesn’t matter anyways.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The white elephant in the room: binary falla
Western religion posits that dead people are your G-d, profits, and overseers.
Eastern religions like Zen and Tao( and I am not a fan of Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Sufism. Gaianism, Celtic Druidism, per se) posits that you are possibly the Buddha, and if not, at least on the path.
Basically, Buddhism (of which Zen is a particular sect) is pretty much the only religion that doesn’t worship at least one deity of some sort in some way. Taoism (and Confucianism, for that matter) is not a religion but a philosophy. Furthermore, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Hinduism, and Shintoism—among others—are all theistic religions (meaning they worship a deity(ies), or at least believe in their existence) that are prevalent and/or originate from the East and aren’t considered “Western religions”. Also, Celtic Druidism is a western religion, and it technically doesn’t believe in a deity or dead people, either, so it’s odd that you mention it.
I don't think parody is a valid trademark infringement defense.
Well, the law says otherwise. Many trademark-infringement cases have been filed and lost over parody Facebook/Twitter accounts or URLs precisely because parody isn’t trademark infringement.
Also, on what grounds do you allege that dissent is being censored by Masnick? I think it’s obvious that it’s not given that I can read you saying it here right now.
There is no such thing, at least as far as I’m aware, as “false-light defamation”. There is “false-light invasion of privacy”, which is inapplicable here. Stating an opinion that does not imply the existence of undisclosed and nonpublic facts cannot be actionable in and of itself, period.
And no, saying that a particular man is “the kind of guy who’d beat his kids” would not be defamatory in itself.
