Hot Air Balloon Drone Approaches Homes Silently
They're getting all ready for their Ninja Express Deliveries. They can do in-home deliveries without ever being seen by the cameras. Great for those special deliveries that you don't want the neighbors to know anything about.

Re:I don't get it
If one pits the entirety of T's shameful statements against him, not just about his daughters, seems about EVEN to me. They both say very offensive crap.
Then why don't you do it? Nothing Trump did amounts to "joking", over and over again, about how he likes to rape kids. That's why you don't.
Dennis Hastert and his GOP Hush Buddies must be part of that.
Oh, speaking of Hastert. Guess who he was friends with? The Podestas. Guess what kind of art Tony Podesta likes to keep in his home?
I didn't say he wasn't a scumbag. You are putting words in my mouth.
I said you were a scumbag for equating being against the normalization of pedophilia and not buying the "just jokes!" when a man repeatedly "jokes" about how he likes to rape kids in Pedowood as "PC".

Re:Now how about healthcare?
you would really pass up a chance to hire the next Tesla or Hawkings, because they smoke?
Tesla did not smoke. Hawkings does not smoke.
It is telling that you used non-smokers as examples of really smart people that smoke.
Not really. What's telling is the fact you ignore my obvious point, favoring instead to latch on to a non-sequitur due to admittedly poor decision-making when it came to choosing examples.
Guess I should have gone with Einstein and Bohrs.
This is the number of really smart smokers that I know: 0.
In fact, I can't think of a better test for dumbness.
Anecdote != evidence, you know. It's kind of funny that you think that, considering that research has indicated the possibility that smoking actually increases mental activity.

Re:You what else lowers ownership
The problem with spatially planning a city is that the plan for a small city is different from the plan for a big city, but it's impossible to predict if a small city will become a big city. So short of reclaiming areas via eminent domain and re-purposing them (wasteful since you're demolishing established structures), you're left with an either/or choice. Either spatially plan for the size city you have today and get burned if the city becomes significantly larger in the future. Or spatially plan for future city growth, and get burned if the city doesn't increase in size or even shrinks.
Public transportation systems can also have the same problem of city not growing as expected (subways), although they can be slightly more flexible (buses). Taxis are even more flexible, since the number of taxis in service can be scaled up or down more quickly than buses. And Uber/Lyft vehicles are even more flexible yet since they're otherwise used as personal vehicles.
In other words, this isn't a problem with just One Correct Solution. It's a problem with multiple solutions - the more efficient solutions quickly drift out of their optimal range if city growth doesn't follow projections, the less efficient solutions are more flexible and can adapt more quickly to deviations in city growth from expectations. -
Re: Will this apply to slashdot as well?
While I agree with most of your points there is one that could do with some clarification.
It appears that America has not been distancing itself from the EU at all - in fact there is evidence to suggest an American organisation the C.I.A. had a hand in creating the E.U. as we know it now.
I believe the concept was that it would be easier to deal with one united block than with many smaller separate countries.
America appears to be on exactly the same course if not already ahead, with legislation on "Fake News" being on the table this very day. The level of censorship is already growing with 'Safe Spaces' limiting speech, and anybody advocating "Freedom of Speech" in educational campuses being shouted down and ridiculously 'glittered'.
Nobody owns this problem nor are they immune to it, we need to stand together, regardless of country for what be believe to be right. -

Re:Here it is. Hope you can read Russian. Re:sourc
Yeah, that's actually about as close to completely backwards as you're likely to get.
Ukraine is currently ruled by murderous thugs. Actual Nazis. -Self-described, mind you. Take a look at how Ukraine's sitting government deals with those who disagree with it. (Warning; extremely disturbing images).
Ukraine is bankrupt and the infrastructure is currently rated as being worse than Palestine, (as hard to imagine as that may be), but that's what you get when psychopaths take control of a country.
-That's the government which was installed by and is being supported by the West. Remember the leaked phone call between Nuland and Pyatt where they discussed installing Yatsenyuk as prime minister? -A massive revelation, though the press artfully focused its attention on the 'outrage' that somebody said, "Fuck the EU" in the message rather than on the mind-blowing fact that US power players were talking about casually by-passing a foreign nation's democratic processes to install their preferred leader. -Which they bloody-well did!
Crimea was very happy to get the hell away from that luncay, from psychopathic rule, fear of their own government and starvation during the Winter months. Luckily, Russia hasn't entirely left Ukraine to blow in the wind as they've been sending regular convoys of relief supplies to the stricken populace. (Much to the West's dismay.)
That's a taste of the real world which lives beyond the propaganda machine which would have you believe that up is down and evil is good.

Eat as much saturated fat as you want...
Eat as much saturated fat as you want. It conclusively does not cause Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD). The recent review IÃ(TM)m talking about is a meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It pooled together data from 21 unique studies that included almost 350,000 people, about 11,000 of whom developed cardiovascular disease (CVD), tracked for an average of 14 years, and concluded that there is no relationship between the intake of saturated fat and the incidence of heart disease or stroke. Inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease. Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine. What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods. Take a moment to visualize rubbing a stiff brush repeatedly over soft skin until it becomes quite red and nearly bleeding. you kept this up several times a day, every day for five years. If you could tolerate this painful brushing, you would have a bleeding, swollen infected area that became worse with each repeated injury. This is a good way to visualize the inflammatory process that could be going on in your body right now. http://www.sott.net/article/24...

Re:If I was running counter-intelligence for the C
That's a logical distillation, granted. However, it is based on some critical over-simplications and assumptions which are not accurate wrt how the black world operates.

Re:WTF
The Japanese government is more honourable than the US one, for one simple reason: It still cares about principal and the rule of law.
Really? The Japanese government has elevated revisionist history to an art form. Many school children have no idea why China has a problem with them, for example, because their textbooks don't include anything that Japan has done wrong. Like, for example, the Nanking Massacre. Which goes back to my original point about their culture: They are really hard up about admitting failure. Remember, it took not one, but two nuclear attacks before the Emperor surrendered.
I could continue with more examples, but I think just one is sufficient to drive home my point; This abstract concept of "honor" you're on about the Japanese having more of is something we could argue back and forth about until the cows come home; It's the perfect shifting goal-post argument.
The US government views the constitution as an obstruction, not an ideal.
Really? The entire government? You can speak authoritatively on the 96 or so million people that work for it and can confirm beyond any doubt that all of them view "the constitution as an obstruction, not an ideal"?
Look at how it has dealt with the threats to it from foreign powers over the decades though. At times antagonistic and prone to posturing, but ultimately true to the principal of self defence and peace.
Really? Fun fact: The Germans killed about 6 million jews, and 20 million Russians. The Japanese have them beat though: They killed at least 23 million chinese during the war, and another seven million from nearby Malasia, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. Go ahead and explain how that was "true to the principle of self defence and peace". I'll get the popcorn!
Japan could have a world class and extremely powerful military, but refrains from developing one.
No, they're prevented by a treaty they signed as part of the terms of their surrender after we nuked their asses. Twice. That treaty is still in force, but it has expanded to a mutual defense treaty. In exchange for the protection of the United States military, the Japanese have given up the right to have their own army.
It's commendable that they actually care about that bit of paper enough to bother changing it, unlike the US government that just looks for some work-around or tries to keep the violations secret.
The US Constitution has been amended 27 times so far. It was intended to be a living document; and the precise meaning and application of a document which is over two hundred years old is one of the major functions of the Supreme Court. And don't think for a New York second that other countries don't have their own secret courts. Secret courts are a part of every major government's history.
The other major difference is that the Japanese government does not use the very real threat from its neighbours to terrorize its population.
Really? Because just today the Japanese PM stepped up the rhetoric, telling citizens that China is a major threat and they should be vigilant against it. They have also recently approved a treaty of shooting down any drones that enter its airspace... and recently civil defense forces were called to clear out citizens threatening to turn violent amidst rising chinese-japanese tensions regarding ownership of some of the Senkaku Islands.

"Methods are developed for spreading dissension between groups (as in the maxim "divide et impera" [divide and rule]). Treason and deceit in politics are given justification and are presented as positive values. Principles of taking advantage of concrete situations are also developed.

Re:Extradition Laws
That Indian Express story is recycling of an old story. Saw that same thing a long time ago when it actually happened. Not sure why it suddenly sprung to life again.
Even the leaked conversation of the Aussies, who Assange's followers generally cite as evidence that there was a grand jury, don't believe the indictment claim is what you're making it out to be.
"Commentators have
... suggested that the source may have been referring to a draft indictment used by prosecutors to 'game out' possible charges," the embassy reported in February. "There is no way to confirm the veracity of the information through official sources."The last real movement on this possible indictment was 2010. *Before* the whole rape thing started.
It gets less and less likely with everything that he will ever be indicted. The simplest way for the US would have been to wait for Assange - famous for jetsetting all over the world - to head to a non-European country which would extradite, thus avoiding EU restrictions on extradition about the death penalty or abuse. Next would have been to get him in a European country with a less restrictive extradition treaty than Sweden (like the UK), without any other complicating charges. The next best would have been to get him in Sweden before the complicating charges, which give rise to questions of prosecutorial priority. The next best would have been to get him after the charges had been announced but before Assange fled to the UK, involving a second nation's court system in the process and complicating any potential extradition further. Next best would have been before the UK court system had ruled completely in favor of re-extradition, putting a new order to send him that the US would have to find a way to get priority over. The absolute worst would be to have Assange back in Swedish custody, with an EAW, an Interpol warrant, and a Swedish arrest warrant, with any appeal from Assange having to be approved by the Swedish judiciary, the Swedish government, the UK judiciary, the UK government, the ECHR, and having guarantees of no abuse or death penalty and that the extradition is not for military or intelligence matters.

Awww, listen to the rich boy suffer.
I live here, I have suffered this last 10 years just because I decided to have an education and work hard, that makes my an Oligarch, along with all the middle class, go figure, Venezuela is the only country in the world with 4 million oligarchs [. .
.] You have no idea, along with all your countrymen posting here, of the kind of monster you are breeding with your oil money.So let me take a stab at understanding your thinking here. . , oil wealth is BAD because in this case it is not being raped from your country by my country. This means that your government is able to use that money to pour into Venezuela as it sees fit as opposed to how an American corporation would see fit. (And the American corporation would, of course, pour a smaller but more concentrated stream of that wealth into the pockets of the rich parents of your school chums, who in turn would be happy to maintain a national state of serfdom.) Yes, I begin to see the logic behind your comments.
I also feel compelled to point out that in a country of around 26.4 million, your (presumptuous) figure of 4 million people is hardly what a sane person could term a 'middle class'. When one sixth of the population is rich and the rest are essentially serfs, you are looking at what is better understood as, "a well-and-truly fucked up system". When Chavez is working to balance the wealth, it is to be expected that the privileged sons and daughters of the rich claim that they arrived at their positions by "Hard Work" rather than from "benefiting from slavery", and that any change to the system which would prevent their continued exploitation of other humans is naturally going to be contested with asinine examples of the sort you offer. There's nothing wrong with wealth, but preventing others from sharing in it through suppression and subversion is evil.
As propaganda hits hardest at home, and as you sound like the Venezuelan version of a dumb & selfish republican, I suspect you are a poor representative of the truth.
There are plenty of people in the U.S. who think that they know what's going on, and who screech the same kind of bullshit about home-grown politics. And like you, most of them appear to be suffering from a form mental retardation where reality and emotional day-dreams get all mixed up together.

Broke up from flying 'too fast'?
Okay. That's just silly.
There is clearly some major pressure to build a presentable story to the public if they're floating ideas like these ones. If the PR is successful, Official Culture will soon include passenger jets which will break up from 'excessive' flying.
A significant air blast from one of the increasingly frequent falling rocks from outer space could easily account for this disaster, and could explain some of the more peculiar details.
Within a few days of the crash the first piece of evidence that something other than high technology and weather destroyed AF 447 came in.
A Spanish pilot with Air Comet (which flies from South and Central American countries to Madrid) flying the Lima to Madrid route reported a bright descending light in the region of AF 447's last position:
"Suddenly we saw in the distance a bright intense flash of white light that fell straight down and disappeared in six seconds.
At the time of the sighting, (the copilot and a passenger who was in the front kitchen area of the airplane also saw it), the Air Comet aircraft was located at seven degrees north of the equator and at the 49th meridian West. The estimated location for the A-330-203 until the moment of its disappearance is at the equator and around the 30th meridian West."
It seems reasonable to suggest that an aircraft would not produce a bright and intense white light for six seconds as it fell from the sky. The many dozens of meteorite and fireball sightings over the past few years however are often seen as bright white flashes of descending light.
--Quoted from this article which digs into the idea of this event being another case of "Is it just me ore do there seem to be a lot more ROCKS FROM SPACE falling around our ears lately?".

Re:How ridiculous.
And the evidence that voting in favour of this bill will prevent Great Depression 2.0? For that matter, where's the evidence that voting against it will allow/cause Great Depression 2.0?
Because with a severe recession, you risk a deflationary spiral and an eventual depression. Demand is down, so companies lay off workers and cut production. If those workers can't find equivalent jobs soon, demand goes down, so companies lay off more workers...
Then you add in a credit crunch, so even businesses with good credit ratings have problems getting loans for basic operating expenses. The government (and the Fed directly) can loan more money so capital can start flowing again, but we're rapidly approaching (if not passed) the practical lending limit because we already have $10 trillion in debt.
So at this point the only entity that can jump-start demand is the federal government. But we should do it now, before our currency crashes.
HINT: while it might make some people feel warm and fuzzy, there's not that much reason to hurry this legislation.
Uh, no. European banks alone might need a 16 trillion bailout. And that's in Euros, which is worth quite a bit more than the dollar at this point. The magnitude of our risk cannot be overstated; we need to take action now to prevent economic collapse.
And we already have a successful model to work on: the New Deal. Spend $2 trillion on infrastructure as it will make hundreds of thousands of jobs, and we badly need the work to be done in the first place - there are dozens of bridges around the country that have the same rating as the I35 bridge that collapsed a year and a half ago in Minneapolis.
And paying for all this is equally simple: bring back the 91% marginal tax rate and apply it to capital gains as well, and leave it until the national debt is paid off.

Alert.
Psychopaths are obstacles. Like sharks or burning houses. To be recognized and dealt with accordingly. All psychos are essentially the same; they can only mirror behavior because they are incapable of generating their own personality. They don't have one. No ability to love or understand love; just ego. Black holes; any energy spent on them is wasted utterly; it goes nowhere but down. They are not to be feared; they are to be understood and destroyed. We as humans, need to understand that there is no ability to recover or become repaired in the psychopath. The only answer is to remove them from positions of power and either incarcerate them for life or destroy them. The world would be almost unrecognizably better without the psychopath; wars, poverty and hunger, injustice; nearly all of this can be traced back to these black hole personalities, and the sooner we recognize them and commit ourselves to their extermination, the better.
This "shiftless" user#410350 needs to be flagged and traced to the individual in question and have the police made aware of its potential for conscienceless murder, rape, and general evil. This is not a joke. The desire to give a free and fair chance to psychopaths, to give them the benefit of the doubt, is what gives them power over us; they do not offer the same generosity. Somebody who openly claims to be psychopathic is probably psychopathic and needs to be treated the same way as somebody who jokes about leaving bombs in airports.
Learn about the Psychopath in order to protect yourself. An excerpt. .
.When the psychopath is frustrated, i.e. doesn't get what they want, satisfaction of the hunger is denied or delayed, what they seem to feel is that everything in the world "out there" is against them while they are only good. This may, of course, translate into actual thought loops of being good, long-suffering and only seeking the ideal of love, peace, safety, beauty, warmth and comfort that comes with satiation (never mind that they can never achieve it), but the most fundamental thing about it is that "the infant experiences itself still in a state of limitlessness power and knowledge, a state that we call its grandiose self". That is, when a psychopath is confronted with something displeasing or threatening to his hunger, that object (person, idea, group, whatever), is placed in the "all bad" category the same way that a newborn infant reacts to a negative trauma or denial of wants or needs: a mindless, instinctive, screaming rage that is designed to be so unpleasant (possibly evolutionarily so) that the caretaker immediately does whatever is necessary to bring the infant's rage to an end, to satisfy the hunger (for whatever).
In short, if we are positing that the psychopath's inner reality is structurally similar to that of a newborn infant - or at least apparently similar - then we must also realize that the rage is also structural. Whatever triggers it MUST come into compliance, the infant/psychopath cannot be denied; the rage, the crying, the fit, whatever, will continue until the infant either gets what is wanted/needed or is so exhausted that it cannot strive any longer. And, of course, with a grown up psychopath, this structural rage has far more support and possibilities (including utilizing a very complex brain) for sustaining it for a very long time: as long as necessary for THAT OBJECT of the rage to be incorporated as was originally desired.
The bottom line is: there is never even an instant when the psychopath feels "traumatized" or "shamed" or "helpless" - the structural grandiosity is ever present along with the rage/rejection of denial.
When dealing with a grown up psychopath, things get a bit more complicated, of course, because, as mentioned above, the brain has continued to grow and develop
