Possibly for personal benefit?
Could this benefit Trump via his ownership of a collection of energy-wasting shitbox buildings? Perhaps through reduced retrofit costs, or simply greater aesthetic flexibility (energy efficiency be damned?)

Re:It's a shame...
Damn helpful cops and safety laws to protect stupid people.
They're the reason we don't have nearly enough Darwin Prizes.As long as we have a 2nd Amendment and Trump supporters here in the US, there will always be plenty of Darwin Awards. Don't you worry.

Re:Easily solved
And if worse comes to worst, use aluminum cans! Beverages taste better from those anyhow... When there is a disaster, the beer companies will switch over to water so that they can assist the disaster victims. And yes, they use aluminum cans. https://www.nydailynews.com/ne...
Switch over? Isn't most mass produced American beer basically water anyway?

Re:Comcast may be bad
What you have shown is that the cost of education is rising and that pupils of public schools fare poorly in academics
Fortunately for the US, we don't have many government-provided services. What I have shown is those few services the government does provide around here, have demonstrated an explosive cost-growth without any quality-improvement to justify it. Indeed, some would say, the quality has gone down.
Then I guess you have more of a corruption problem than one with municipal services, because it does work in Europe pretty well. Maybe you need to get rid of pork barrel filling politicians that are in the pockets of certain corporations?
Infrastructure-maintenance is deteriorating too — for a particularly striking example, consider the recent repainting of Brooklyn Bridge — which cost more than building the structure did originally.
Unfortunately I cannot read the article about the Brooklyn Bridge, but it would be interesting to find out why painting it is so expensive. You know, there's generally a reason for something, so what could it be? Maybe safety regulations that actually require gear where the workers would actually be more likely to survive working on it? I honestly don't know, and you didn't provide a reason so all I can do is speculate.
When you managed to convince me
Given that, 11 years ago, when Municipal WiFi has become an obvious disaster, you personally continued to defend it — much to the acclaim of your fellow Statists — I do not expect you to ever be convinced. "Municipal Fiber" is just another go at that same harebrained idea and, of course, you are going to defend it after it flops too...
You really went back 10 years of my posts? Are you stalking me? There are days where I actually reach the limit of postings I'm allowed to make, please don't tell me you read them all.
I can't help but feel a tiny bit flattered
... in a weird, creeped-out way...But back to the point. You might have noticed that some time has passed in the meantime. The amount of people who use the internet went up. The internet is no longer a playground for early adopters and tech geeks, old grannies and very tech-illiterate people now spend many hours every day on it, mostly using social media platforms or communication and discussion tools. Anyone under 25 pretty much can't even live anymore without it. The "digital natives" are growing up and they have come of (voting) age in the meantime. This isn't 2007 anymore where the "I cannot live without it" people are under the voting age and can't affect jack shit, the internet has pretty much become what TV used to be: The must-have convenience toy in our life.
You think people would have voted for municipal cable access 20 years ago? I am pretty sure they would have.

Re:Let kids go outside
All we've done is created developmentally delayed individuals who are only starting to grow into adults when they go to college and get the hell away from their overprotective parents.
If you trap kids inside all day, it shouldn't be any surprise that they turn to screens to give them something to do. Allow kids the opportunity to play outside and I suspect that many of them will naturally use screens a lot less frequently.
I doubt it's entirely the parents' fault. I imagine parents are keeping their kids indoors in order to keep them away from Child Overprotective Services.

Re:Nine months for fake reviews?
Indeed, except sentences for rape are at about 60% to 80% of sentences for murders (varies across states), so, no, rape is a terrible example, unless you mean rape committed by women.
One should mention, it's not even remotely imaginable that a woman in similar setting would get prison sentence.

Re:A study shows ...
How can a camera cause an accident? Perhaps you mean that stop lights "cause" (air quotes) accidents because assholes speed up on yellow instead of slowing down? That's not the light causing the accident, it's the assholes.

Re: The TSA itself
With MA270 in mind I have to question your assertion that bringing guns on an airplane has increased security.
Where did I use the word "gun?"
And I'm well aware of plane hijackings before 2001. I know of people who got to spend a sunny afternoon couped up in an airplane on the tarmac in Cuba, due to defectors hijacking an airplane bound for Florida and rerouting it to Cuba.
Prior to 2001, airline passengers were told that during a hijacking, do not resist the hijackers, as the worse that will happen is that you'll waste a day in Cuba.
September 11, 2001 changed all that.
And now passengers are told during a hijacking to fight for their lives. It's how Richard Reid was stopped...

Re:AI sometimes isn't perfect either

Re:These days I don't trust ANY company on politic
after the vicious, cruel, sadistic policies that Trump has directed toward foreigners and immigrants
Vicious, cruel, sadistic is when they shoot you at the border, not when they take you to an air-conditioned detention center, let you take a warm shower, and give you a clean jumpsuit to wear. Though the food is, admittedly, not great.
And I'm pretty sure most of the immigrants in your narrative might point out that they faced much worse conditions *before* they got caught than afterwards, especially given coyotes' nasty predilection for raping their paying customers and putting them in shipping containers to die. They might point that out if you bothered to ask them anyway, which you wouldn't of course. Because they're really just faceless extras to use in your own political movie featuring Donald Trump in the starring role as Adolph Hitler, aren't they?

lumper/splitter butter churn
If I could have a dollar for every time an "insightful" post on Slashdot — since the times of Napster — lectured the audience, that it is not theft, if the victim still has his copy of whatever is allegedly "stolen"...
This happens to be roughly the same distinction as the one between murder and attempted murder.
An industrious 12-year-old with a nickel-a-week allowance can easily "steal" $500,000 in a year, as the aggrieved prefer to frame it. And then they try to collect on the counterfactual $500,000, just to keep it real.
Actual outcomes:
(A) Minor engages in data hoarding hobby — minor deflection of revenue opportunity curve.
(B) White collar professional "boosts" his copy of AutoCAD or Final Cut Pro — non-trivial deflection of revenue opportunity curve.
(C) Bootlegger uploads a protection-neutered AutoCAD or FCP to a darknet warez server — potentially a substantial deflection of revenue opportunity curve.
Here's the thing. You can have any deterrent you want, so long as the colour is black. This is why the theft is theft is theft crowd is so quick to postulate 12-year-olds with $500,000 endowment accounts using magic bean, counterfactual arithmetic.
Case (C) degenerates in case (B), where the actual willingness-to-pay resides. However, it also decreases the opportunity cost for (B) to engage in skinflint behaviour, and since middlemen are a pox on humanity anyway—ask Bezos—this group gets the biggest boot up their ass, at the end of the day, once identified and apprehended (if ever).
Looking past the black-only theft is theft is theft deterrence field, all the losses in simple copyright IP theft are counterfactual in nature. Loss of life is not counterfactual. Loss of your car is not counterfactual.
Anyone determined to pack counterfactual theft and non-counterfactual theft into the same word is doomed never to think clearly ever again. Anyone determined to segregate these two cases 100% is also doomed never to think clearly ever again.
Now, if some 12-year-old Ferris Bueller trashes your tricked-out 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, what you have is a factual $10 million hole (after applying a 33% hyperbole deflation field).
And once again we're right back at some giant number you can't feasibly collect, so what's the different, anyway? Answer, for the straight thinkers: one sad Ferrari corpse, made of actual metal and paint.
You don't get a $15 million car without an extremely rigid supply and demand curve.
For our 12-year-old data hoarder (with the putative $500,000 hoard), if you increase his direct marginal cost by $10 hard cash, he could well have a different hobby by tomorrow afternoon. How's that for a featherweight demand curve, floating along a passing breeze?
Lump or split, lump or split?
God, isn't it just such a tough call.

Re:So Much Winning
corporate interests write the laws they want and pay your elected officials to enact them. See George W Bush's energy policy as one of many examples.
Obviously you can't be right, since Bush the second's administration's energy policy was decided and enacted with full transparency and under open public scrutiny. Moreover, we know Republicans always put people first, so corporations can't have had any influence on the policy.

Re:Curb your enthusiasm
You really don't seem to know much about how the North Koreans operate, history has shown plenty that they simply can't be trusted. This isn't the first time that they've offered to drop their nuclear weapons program.
In 2007 they agreed to move towards disarmament, and over the course of 2007 and 2008 they actually took substantive steps in that direction, in particular surrounding shutting down the Yongbyon nuclear facility. In return they received aid, and were removed from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism in October 2008.
And who was President when that happened?
Nothing about that lasted. In 2009 they failed in the launch of the Kwangmyngsng-2 satellite, were denounced in turn by the UN as that launch being cover for a missile test, and subsequently restarted their nuclear program and tested another nuclear weapon in the following month, May 2009, and continued their weapons program up to and including the more recent thermonuclear tests. Notably, this was also roughly the timeframe when Kim Jong-Un was securing the succession, he was named the successor by Kim Jong-il in January 2009, and more steps locking that in took place over 2009 and the subsequent years leading up to Kim Jong-il's death in December 2011.
This really isn't all about Trump, he and his supporters are blinding themselves if they think that somehow his force of personality or whatever will somehow magically fix the problem with North Korea. Their duplicity on nuclear weapons goes back many US presidencies, and if there was an easy way to solve the problem its doubtful we'd be in this position in the first place.
Damn, but it sure looks like it might be about Obama, eh?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that when Obama became President, North Korea restarted their nuclear program and ISIS began its growth after Obama pulled US troops from Iraq.
Did it ever occur to you that a "Gee, I'm sorry the US has been mean. Will you please be nice to us? Because I'm going to be nice to you!" might win a faux Nobel Peace Prize but it's the addle-brained policy of a wet-behind-the-ears naif that murderous dictators that feed opponents into wood chippers feet first will just take advantage of?

Re:What's there to apologize for?
Because you're applying US constitutional law to EU laws?
You referred to human rights — the kind, all human being posses regardless of where they live. Right to privacy is not among them. Nor is the Freedom of Speech, actually, but modern societies all pretend to support it...
That said, corporations don't have the exact same set of rights as a human being does either.
That is subject to quite a bit of a debate, actually.
But we don't have to engage in it, because CNN, National Inquirer, New York Times, and Facebook are all corporations. So, if a media company can publish whatever it pleases, including a pictorial obtained from a paparazzi against the subject's will, then certainly Facebook can do what it wants with the information handed to it voluntarily. End of story.

Re:Wanted for what?
It doesn't matter. As a law abiding citizen if I break any laws it's by accident. If I knew with a 100% certainty that I'd get a speeding ticket if I exceeded the speed limit then I'd aim to go 10 under the speed limit instead of 10 over.
I know it sounds draconian but right now there's a gamble with all crimes; there's a chance you'll get away with it. The chance of getting away with speeding is much higher then that of robbing a bank or murder. If facial recognition makes it much harder to get away with any crimes then it should have the effect of decreasing crimes overall. People who commit minor crimes will be more careful not to do so and those that commit major crimes are more likely to be caught and jailed.
At least this is all in theory. A good hoodie makes the technology mostly useless. Plus it's not uncommon for two people to look alike: Case in point: http://www.nydailynews.com/ent...

Not a dime
Americans not wanting to spend money (e.g. higher taxes) on infrastructure
Certainly not. We are talking about NYC — the singular city in the most corrupt State in the nation.
The recent painting of the Brooklyn Bridge costed well more than the original building of the structure did in 1883 (inflation-adjusted, of course).
You expect us, the taxpayers, to willingly give even more money to these people?
MTA should have replaced the sleepy fleshware, whose reactions and ability to communicate with each other are horrible even when they are awake, with computers — driving a train is much simpler for a computer, than driving a car, for example. They were trying to do it in 2005, and still haven't.
Just as with the public schools, it is not about the money...

Intelligence chief Clapper gets off scot-free
On March 12, 2013, Clapper, then director of national intelligence, knowingly lied to the US Select Committee on Intelligence, when he was asked by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) whether the National Security Agency collected "any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans."
"No sir. Not willingly," Clapper said.
The full extent of Clapper's unabashed dishonesty was revealed to the world just three months later, when NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden leaked troves of documents to Wikileaks detailing the agencyâ(TM)s vast, warrantless surveillance of American citizens.
"He admitted to lying to Congress and was unremorseful and flippant about it," Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told the Washington Examiner. "The integrity of our federal government is at stake because his behavior sets the standard for the entire intelligence community." Massie was referring to Clapper, not the baseball player. Just to be clear.
In other news, an unprecedented number of former CIA agents are running for office in 2018 as Democrats. Once in the CIA, always in the CIA. They will always represent the Agency's interests, no matter what walk of life they progress to. Get out there and vote, people. Bring a couple of friends to vote. It's the only way we'll get our country back.

Re:1 mbps is so awesome
Wait a minute, weren't you calling Romney "Hitler"? Why yes you were!.
People are in fear of Russians. Absolute nutty paranoia. Let's all get some perspective and tamp down the troll farm panic. It's 90 people with a shaky grasp of English and a rudimentary understanding of U.S. politics shitposting on Facebook. Our reaction to them is all out of proportion to their influence and will harm us more than they ever could. When even the New Yorker is ridiculing the idea that there is some great Russia conspiracy, you know it's all over but the crying.
Trump's tweet about Moscow laughing its ass off was unusually (perhaps accidentally) accurate. Loyal Putinites and dissident intellectuals alike are remarkably united in finding the American obsession with Russian meddling to be ridiculous. The intellectuals are amused to see Americans so struck by an indictment that adds virtually nothing to a piece published in the Russian media outlet RBC, back in October; I wrote https://www.newyorker.com/news... at the time that the article showed the Russian effort to be more of a cacophony than a conspiracy. The Kremlin and its media are, as Joshua Yaffa writes https://www.newyorker.com/news..., tickled to be taken so seriously. Their sub-grammatical imitations of American political rhetoric, their overtures to the most marginal of political players, are suddenly at the very heart of American political life. This is the sort of thing Russians have done for decades, dating back at least to the early days of the Cold War, but those efforts were always relegated to the dustbin of history before they even began.
Goldman, the Facebook V.P., has seen more of the Russian ads and posts than most Americans, and his imagination clearly strains to accommodate the push to take them seriously. It's hard to square words like "sophisticated" (frequently used by the Times to describe the Russian campaign) with posts like one from an apparently fake L.G.B.T. group promoting something called "Buff Bernie: A Coloring Book for Berniacs" http://www.nydailynews.com/new... with catchy English-language copy: "The coloring is something that suits for all people." It's hard to apply the description "bold covert effort" (used by Politico https://www.politico.com/story...) to the enormous amount of social-network static https://twitter.com/AdrianChen... that Russian trolls produced. To Goldman, it may all look like a giant gray mass in which only a few colorful ads and posts have any meaningâ"and that meaning is hard to discern.
It is exceedingly unlikely that we will ever have a clear understanding of whether Russian meddling affected the outcome of the election. But a huge number of Americans imagine that it did. They imagine that exposure to a foreign effort to muddle American politics can fundamentally change the fate of this countryâ"and by imagining it, they render the country all the more muddled, divided, and vulnerable.

This is one great reason why Apple denies the omnipotent and omniscient and brilliant know-it-all Apple consumers user-replaceable batteries. Apple has done a fantastic job so far not allowing their customers to blow themselves to pieces, regardless of their insistance that they be allowed to do so because they paid for the right to do so. Everyone always thinks they know better. Anytime this occurs, chances are good they do not. Sometimes there are not any nepharipus reasons behind Apple's actions, as in the case of Apple updates intentionally slowing down their consumers' iDevices to reduce load and wear on aging Li-ion cells, and refusing to adopt a platform with user-replaceable batteries. These Li-ion cells are not your older brother's Li-ion cells. These ones have so much energy they can kill you if you abuse them, and you are very likely to abuse them because you are very likely to be ignorant concerning how not to abuse them.

Re:divide & conquer
One can only hope that the average person is not as willfully ignorant as you are.
Paternity tests don't protect men from paying child support for children that aren't theirs, you ignorant fool. Your unfounded and frankly stupid assertions notwithstanding, the facts are the facts.
It is hard to discuss anything with you due to your inability to deal with what I wrote with out changing what I wrote to mean something it doesn't. You have some talking points you have to shout to get paid for your post, I understand. I would recommend doing it more subtly.
So, lets review, you say that men are lying, that courts do paternity tests, and that will get them off the hook for paying child support for children that aren't theirs. Here are some instantly googled headlines for you to read. I am spoon feeding you. Read up. Go look for more. It's not hard.
https://www.abc15.com/news/nat...
http://www.chron.com/news/hous...
http://www.nydailynews.com/new...
There are thousands of headlines like this. You want to tell me all of these men are lying, along with the newspapers who report it, the lawyers, and the judges who say its a travesty? You tell me that the courts are using paternity tests to make sure men aren't paying child support for kids that aren't theirs, and the truth is easily seen to be anything but that. Your ignorance is stunning, in that it is willfully protected. Are you so dedicated to your principles that you don't care if they are predicated on falsehoods and deceit?
Most importantly, you are men that they should be out there spending their spare time canvassing and garnering support for better parental leave? Your argument is that since some men have kids they should all want better leave. You also argue that men's rights groups should fall in line with feminist organizations to make sure that fathers get better leave time. My assertion is that feminist organizations, and many other organizations as well, have that part handled, and criticizing men's rights groups for not spending their time on that is arrogant and wrong.
Why? Because what is falling through the cracks, not being addressed, and not even acknowledged (as you so beautifully illustrate by being incredibly ignorant AND unimaginably offensive in your ignorance) are the men who are paying child support for children that aren't theirs. It's a fact that it happens, and with frequency. Yet, you deny it happens and that men's rights organizations should be doing something else with their very limited time, energy, support, and money.
Don't you see the problem with that?

Re:Many veterans end up homeless
My dad was veteran who fought the Nazis.
These days that would be described as "Committing alt-left violence against some Very Fine People."
That would be funnier if the Nazis hadn't based many of their policies on the American Progressive movement. The left wing loved Hitler.

Re:Free stuff for poor people + No Borders
Here's a graph of the number of illegal immigrants crossing the Hungarian border. Guess what happened on the 18th of October?

Here's a graph of suicide attacks before and after the border fence. Suicide bombers being a particularly unwelcome form of illegal immigrant.

It's insane that foreigners need to go through multiple checks if they enter the US at an airport or port but if they walk across the border no one even knows who they are or what they're carrying.

The only reason this is even controversial in US politics is because the Democrats know Hispanics vote 70%:30% for them and so they know letting in more Hispanics makes it easier for them to win.
They've even let illegals vote in CA thanks to the Motor Voter law. And if anyone objects the Democrats can call them 'racist'.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca...
Existing law makes it a crime for a person to willfully cause, procure, or allow himself or herself or any other person to be registered as a voter, knowing that he or she or that other person is not entitled to registration. Existing law also makes it a crime to fraudulently vote or attempt to vote.
This bill would provide that if a person who is ineligible to vote becomes registered to vote by operation of the California New Motor Voter Program in the absence of a violation by that person of the crime described above, that person's registration shall be presumed to have been effected with official authorization and not the fault of that person. The bill would also provide that if a person who is ineligible to vote becomes registered to vote by operation of this program, and that person votes or attempts to vote in an election held after the effective date of the person's registration, that person shall be presumed to have acted with official authorization and is not guilty of fraudulently voting or attempting to vote, unless that person willfully votes or attempts to vote knowing that he or she is not entitled to vote.
Plus of course illegals force down wages, and that helps the sort of companies who donate to the Democrats. I.e. they've decided that open borders is in their long term interest. And in their short term interest due to things like Motor Voter. And if anyone objects the Dems can call them 'racist'. I.e. it's in the Dems interest to have open borders. And not have a border wall.

Democrat presidents usually are the ones that start wars. Nixon was the Republican who got us out of Vietnam, after Kennedy and Johnson pushed us into that quagmire.

mandate warrants
Of course warrants should be mandated. Without monitoring and checks, the victims of police have little or no protection or legal recourse. To prevent abuse the police should be monitored and checked constantly in every way feasible while on the job. Here are just a few of the recent examples of police corruption and abuse.
- In Denver, the police are stealing cars.
- In New York, police handcuffed and raped a teenager. Then over a dozen other cops threatened the victim to prevent her from reporting the crime.
- Police steal more than criminals.
- In Utah a cop who assaulted and arrested a nurse for objecting to his inappropriate demands to draw blood from a suspect.
- In Los Angeles a cop was caught by his own body cam planting drugs on a suspect.

Re:The moral of the story
BTW, the reason Menendez isn't in the news is that he's on trial and not running for office, and that the accusations are nowhere near as solid as you suggest.
http://www.nydailynews.com/new...
There is a double standard with Roy Moore though. There were similar accusations against Donald Trump and the media didn't care much back then, and doesn't care now. Time to just accept that US politics is cool with alleged pedophiles, I say.
