this reminds me of an occurrence in Idaho.
Some idiot decided to pay a Huge peice for a piece of property In Boise area.
Which the state decided that since idiots are willing to pay so much, they could raise property taxes by 30%.
Base Taxes on what is Being paid for Property, means Any group Could inflate the price by Paying stupid prices. Forget using a % based system.
This is interesting based on reports of the NY downtown property prices, and vacant property thats over valued by over 10 times. Selling it to Outside nations and making the price Go up, makes them worth?
tried many times to Customize the music, so only those that Paid for it AND had the proper player Could listen to it.
The biggest problem is the consumer can Buy the unit to play, and then record To another medium, with the speaker system, at the Very least.
If it can be Played it can be copied. movies and music.
It wont matter what or HOW they do things. If it can be played someone will record it.
If they want to be stupid, the underground will Flourish.
Sell at 1/2 price and make Bucks.
Seen printers that if 1 color is out, it wont print as it uses all the colors to create Black.
Seen printers that when Color of black runs out it wont print, and Wont let you Swap to another color Just to get the print out.
Seen the scanner problem.
Seen the ink DRY UP in the heads and ruin the printer.
Seen XL cartridges that are supposed to have more ink, NOT have more Ink.
Then there was the BIS system, which Finally got out of court and Won. Where you can replace the ink with External LARGER ink packages, that cost the Same or cheaper, but hold 10 times the ink.
Anyone that has a printer SHOULD print 1 full color page per week. As the ink will dry in the cartridges and in the print heads.
Then the big one. If you dont Buy paper in Bulk, its not worth buying.
$5 million? For the price we pay for the ink? It should be 10 times that price.
Who does not know how knowledge is earned?
You cant go out and KNOW anything without abit of practice. If you could then we would put Babies as the Current group of Doctors.
LET them hack, let them See how things are programmed and then Let them experiment. Quit abusing/restricting knowledge.
These are the ones that will lead you into a Better Future if you let them do and learn.
DDOS, is fairly under control, After someone figured out HOW to redirect the incoming data. Zombie machines are easy to Un hack, after the AV programs figured out How they were setup.
It took centuries for the trumpet to get Valves to make more then a few notes. And the old trumpets took allot of practice to make them sound good.
If you dont let them learn and practice and advance, you will Never get that VCR programmed again. Ever. Do you want the correct time on your watch? HIRE THE KIDS. TEACH them good from bad, DONT abuse knowledge because you are afraid of it.
Why not.
We want everyone to be stupid.
All the nice people int he world trying to live by the rules, and telling them they have a problem, In the right way, and they get persecuted.
Why do we keep electing the idiots to office?
Anyone think its time we Dump the TV, and the promises?
Time to get things on paper. Time to sort OPINION from truths not told. Keeping in the dark over what they are doing, even when we see it happening.
The Governor, saying its going to cost $50 million? is only cause thats how much it will cost After he gets his cut?
Are we slaves to incompetents? or WE the incompetents?
There is a trick they love.
To debate at nite when no one is there.
If a Quorum, isnt needed, then Just ask for a vote in the middle of the nite, with selected persons there.
Its been done MANY TIMES.
allot of places, have forgotten the basics of security in the first place.
The WHOLE system, probably, is integrated into the school system. When it pulls up the info it GRABS everything, insted of just the names and info it needs.
To many systems are designed like that. Insted of using Specific, and Supplied data, they link it to the MAIN system. Which can make the main system hackible. But they didnt need the hack, because the Data base grabbed everything.
"qualified immunity"
The ability to say, 'no one told me that'
The idea that you dont need to teach them ANYTHING, and they have an excuse to be DUMB.
The ability to Fix a leaky faucet by calling a plumber, and not using a wrench to fix it. And pay $200+ for a $15+ 1 hour of work at most.
To have a low pressure tire, take it to the deal ship, be charged $50 to check all your tires, be sold 4 new tires, Leave the dealer ship and STILL have a low pressure tire.
To search on the net for sycology, and not find a thing, and not pay attention to the SPELL CHECK that suggests psychology.
To wonder around your home looking for your Glasses, and your spouse asks, 'what you are looking for?', you tell her, and she points UP, and you look at the ceiling, and they fall on the floor behind you, and you say, 'What?' and not see/hear the glasses hit the carpet.
Add to that.

Or PTFE Used as a Nonstick material in Tons of things. But has a half life longer then MOST Radioactive materials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W74aeuqsiU&t=3s
How about the right to have an opinion, over reporting the news? That you dont have to tell the truth or just the facts you know, but can add additional idiocy.
When the thought of capitalism is based on the consumer having the ability to NOT use a service they dont like, and HAS A CHOICE, ISNT a fact.
Where the Supply of a service is based on the idea that A' Service Is being supplied auxiliary to the Main/original one. And that NEW service is a Sat signal with a 3-7 second delay. ITS NOT COMPARABLE.
When the wages of the top exec's is MORE then paying off the stocks or even giving dividends to those that Bought the stocks.
A good share of the system is broken, and our Gov. is 1/2 the problem. AND we are the Gov., supposedly.
So lets ask about Algorithms?
Which ones?
Suggested friends? based on the info you place in your account?
Your school, your work, your home town, where you live now?
I never fill that crap in. and HOPE no one else does.
On FB you can block just about anyone, including Some adverts.
So, most of this is based on the idea that YOU dont know how to use the site and BLOCK OR REPORT someone for picking on you?
Others Algorithms.
Amazon, and Tons of Sale sites use them base on what you Buy and What you have looked at on the site. ALL the major sale sites from amazon to 'Whats the name of the restaurant?' are SHARING your data. Even amazon is a FRONT for millions of other sites for a % of the sales. Even walmart does it.
So, reading this
"does not apply to a provider of an interactive computer service with respect to information provided through such service by another information content provider "
So, info of a sale or where you were looking at a site, isnt protected when its referred to another Service? to show you were shopping, looking around for ? Condoms?
Which would embarrass you All to hell when the next site you goto, pops up all these adverts for Condoms?
Anyone got a definition of being an ADULT? Or is this something thats supposed to protect our kids, but ends up treating us as Idiot adults?
Can we extend this, and carry it to OTHER services? Like Cable TV? Like Roku?
Isnt there a LAW about laws NOT being for an individual group or person?
How Thick Can we spread this butter across the Whole advert system?
How many Conglomerates are a series of business's interlinked? Even Macy's is part of this system. 4-5 levels of sales, as something dont sell at 1 set of stores you pass it down and write it off(wow, what a way to kill the tax system). And you are getinig adverts from each of those stores in your area.
"information provided through such service by another information content provider"
It affects the 3rd party, the one that intercepts the information, then uses it. Seems not to affect the primary site that gathered the info.
BE parts?
"knew or should have known."
"recklessly made a personalized recommendation of such information; and
‘‘such recommendation materially contributed to a physical or severe emotional injury to any person."
Algorithms DONT MAKE PERSONALIZED ANYTHING. They look at the data and say
' Wow, this person is looking at allot of porn' Equals 'I should show them more porn'.
'Wow this person was born ?" equals 'I should Post to everyone in that town where this person is'.
'Wow, you work at blank' Equals 'I should contact all those people and let them know you are using this or that service'
'Wow, you drink allot of alcohol' equals 'I should tell everyone what you drink and that you like it allot'
