The lie detector itself is a fraud on the American citizen. Your example is poor. The FBI should not be allowed to use fraudulent devices in their hiring practices. It should not be considered fraud to evade the fraud perpetrated by the FBI. The entire thing comes down to might vs right. The FBI feels that whatever policy it sets is lawful, thus any break in that is a crime. We The People should remind the FBI that they have a duty to act ethically, including not using fraud as SOP.
Its not absurd. What is absurd is the idea that the FBI using the device is in any way productive. Its not fraud if the procedure is not based in fact. Its a LIE, we should not allow our law enforcement to lie outside of very specific need. EVER. You are arguing a point of law, im arguing a point of morality.
Its hard to call it fraud when the device has no scientific basis.The FBI shouldnt even be using the damn things in the first place. They have a HUGE culture problem of only hiring like-minded drones instead actual humans.
Again, psychopath. Jsut because you believe these numbers mean something does not mean i do. Its not denial, its flat out refusal to put a price on life. I would burn the world for my loved ones, no amount of wealth would change that.
The problem with this is, in an emergency, if something costs too much due to price gouging, Im going to dispense with the pleasantries and take what i need to survive, by force if necessary. I will kill you before i allow you to let me die.
You are right and wrong. IN a lot of places you can get a second meter to subtract sewage costs from water that you only use on the lawn. I know this because i installed automatic lawn sprinkler systems for 5 years. So while yes its inferred in most cases, its still a separate cost.
The difference is we are quite tired of being beta testers so they can build a base faster than the competitor. These watches are truly half-baked proprietary pieces of crap. That sort of thing was excusable for the smartphone explosion, the need for usable pocket computers was enormous and the market huge. These smartwatches are doomed because the price has nowhere to go but down. Build a cheap smart watch that can work with any phone, and that will be the winner.
Smart watches ARE a good idea, they just need to have better characteristics then they have now. They need a much longer battery life, a LOT cheaper and they must universally work with any device, not just proprietary ones. There is nothing wrong with the idea of a programmable display on your wrist, but so far the implementations suck.

If we cant blame those that personally execute the policy, who can we blame? She did it, its hers to own. Companies cant do this stuff if the employees refuse to comply with shit orders like this.
When I see a Club on a steering wheel, i feel sorry for the owner. When i see security escort employees out like this, i feel sorry for the employer. They have lost their humanity.
You have to accept that there are use-cases for things that arent connected 24/7. Not everything has to be always on, easily accessible and connected. Sometimes you just need to place a watchful eye that you may or may not ever look at.
The point of giving tax breaks IN THE FIRST PLACE, is to encourage charitable work in the community. If they are not doing that, then why are we giving them a pass?
Yeah Google is kind of shitting the bed with Wear, Android TV and the car stuff. They want to protect Android's image so much that they are losing sight of what makes Android great. I thought Android TV would be great, but with Google's restrictions, no one cares about the platform.
I use a dedicated MP3 player i paid $40 for. The idea of using my pocket communicator's battery to listen to music is silly. All my life i have been into tech, but these smart watches are a joke. They need to be MUCH cheaper, work UNIVERSALLY with any computer/device, hold a charge for days, and not look like the crap they currently do. Its a lot like 3D video tech. Its great and fun but im not paying a premium for it, come back when its baked into the feature set for low cost.

Unhelpful rhetoric.

I would really rather prefer we seriously try something else first. Constitutional Conventions can give AND THEY CAN TAKE AWAY.

Only psychopaths think like this.
Not everyone has a price measured in dollars, i assure you. I may have a price, but i have yet to see a dollar amount that matches what im worth.
The problem is, once they are dead, you should have no more claim over their body. The House has been paid.

You mean like how your water bill is divided into clean water and sewage.....
Apple bought TouchID outright so that no one else could use it. Thats not what i would call innovation. Bad example.

The problem is, the have had YEARS to prepare for this. I was working on wearables 5 years ago.

You draw the line by not recognizing ANY religion.
The idea that 'In God We Trust' printed on our money is somehow legal is what makes me insane. Its a CLEAR sign that the law is not being followed.
