It's still illegal if the private citizen or company is doing it as an agent of the government. i.e. I may not be able to search a house without a warrant as a police officer, but it's just as inadmissible if I pay someone else to search the house. You may say "well don't informants get paid?" and the answer is yes, but they are paid to do only what the police officer themselves could do if they had the same relationships, credibility, etc.
What needs to happen is a court needs to decide that if a law enforcement agency contracts with a private company to purchase data that the law enforcement agency could not legally acquire themselves, then the results as tainted. License plates not only being publicly viewable but in fact being property of the state themselves doesn't really make that apply in this specific case anyway.
How much power is being saved due to heating uses that aren't necessary? Ultimately a computer turns electrons into heat while doing some useful stuff (like playing cat videos) while doing it. The heat is no less for playing the cat video. So a computer is effectively the same as a resistive heater like a space heater is. So if a computer is a space heater which turns its power almost entirely into heat, it must be offsetting heating needs some of the time and increasing cooling needs other times.
No feedback means you are awesome and there is no room for improvement. If people have a problem with you it's just that -- their problem. If you are the problem they'll tell you in a clear. actionable and constructive way.
noting a person's audio history may contain files like LGBT podcasts or Muslim call-to-prayer recordings.
Why do people who, if you asked them, would say that things like the above shouldn't be stigmatized, then go out of their way to stigmatize them with an implication that content in those categories should be subject to some sort of special expectation of privacy?
But you don't make laws that legalize something, you repeal or negate laws that prohibit it. I'm woefully unaware of state laws that make it illegal for machinery to safely operate in pedestrian right of way.
The difference being that neither yahoo nor idressup can legally use guys with guns to force me to register on their websites (and that's what it would take, for those two at least).
Verizon claimed they'd met standards that would allow the reduction of the $50 million to the $15 million and give them $35 million back. Apparently NYC agreed to it without doing any actual audit that the standard was met.
In fact, it seems they didn't do an audit to determine whether "every household in the 5 boroughs" was able to get Fios service until a year after that was supposed to be complete, and from there it took another 15 months to call them on it. And this is probably someone's full time job.
But 20,000 suicides a year is only 7 per 100,000 people. So if the Clintons are closely tied to, say, 10,000 people, then over 30 years one would expect 21 of those to commit suicide assuming their "close ties" represent a random sample of the US population and not, say, a circle of successful, well positioned political players. It appears that being a successful, well positioned political player associated with the Clinton's skews the distribution somewhat in favor of offing oneself. Can't say I blame them.
Because if something is being presented as being strictly based on popular interest, but is actually based on private interests, then that is misleading consumers. The other "news" organizations haven't been accused of advertising one methodology for presenting stories but actually using another.
It would be like a polling organization saying it took a random phone survey of 1,000 likely voters to get its results, but then was caught manipulating their definition of the term "likely" to distort their resulting data. They generally like to leave the distortion to the data interpreters, not bake it into the data itself.
If you win something based on merit, it proves you are capable of winning without cheating, so cheating just makes what's already proven easier.
We build this mindset into people by saying they can't use a calculator to solve math problems unless they can do them longhand, as though the two are equivalent.
It's taking the escalator versus taking the stairs, they don't need to prove you can take the stairs, they've already done it, so taking the escalator is (in the cheater's mindset) equivalent, not something that takes them beyond their ability.
I appreciate that the summary and associated news stories are presenting a fair, unbiased view of the situation, free from ridicule and sarcasm (SWIDT?).
This would have been the THIRD solar farm approved in the vicinity of the town -- there are already two solar projects underway.
The solar farm would not have increased tax revenues or added value to the town. It would not likely employ any of the town's residents.
Yes, the town residents are poorly informed about solar -- they have two projects underway and haven't seen the results of them yet.
The town council did what the town council is supposed to do -- represent the will of their constituents. The solar company seeking the zoning change would have been well advised to work on communicating and educating the town they needed permission from. Why would the town council overrule their voters in exchange for...nothing?
There's quite a double standard when it comes to education -- take someone in an urban environment who can't name their state capital or point to the United States on a map, and it's the fault of the school system and their environment. Take a similarly ignorant person for a rural environment and suddenly they become a willfully hick and fully at fault for not seeking out and drinking deep of the cup of knowledge.
This is true all over. How often do posters on this site kick back and have a beer after their friends come home from their job on the lawn service crew, or as an auto mechanic? Are most of your friends in technical positions? Do most of your friends have interests that align with your own? Same sort of thing.
People responding to this article act like they are fonts of egalitarianism when if you look at it they are probably just as judgmental (up and down, the responses being a case in point) as the purported billionaires in TFA.

Same here.

Youtube doesn't want their money.
Amazon's $350,000 contribution represents .00014 of its CY 2016 net profit.
They aren't security people, they are marketing people who get to turn the publicity into an advertisement for their company when they find something.

I'm not even a USA citizen, and I feel like you since

- he was elected.

The real difference is in the software.
Nope, the real difference is in the ability and willingness to navigate the military procurement process.

Wow, so Google is inventing Cell Tower Backhaul?

Think they'd require AT&T to remove their whole pole, or would cutting it off just below ground level suffice?

A library card and a comfortable chair. Though I've been using the same chair for a long time so I probably need to upgrade the firmware.
