Illegal immigration enforcement should be priortized by burden. Those who don't pay taxes or live off the proceeds of crime should be the highest priority. Those who take minimum wage jobs americans don't want and pay their taxes and don't do (other) crime are not a burden and should get to stay.
If it's illegal for the police to do something without a warrant then it should be illegal for the police to hire someone to do that action without a warrant. If the American Federal Government is paying you to do something then (as an employee) you should be subject to the Constitution of the USA while doing it.
If the military hired PHD's to maintain their equipment the payroll budget would tripple. The less the military spends on stuff, the more combat missions they can accomplish.
The first problem with trying to legislate morality is we live in a multi-culteral society and we can't agree on the single moral code to follow. The second problem is the rules change when you get rich and/or powerful.
Or more constructively: Have a mandatory inspection of all proposed laws to see if they are Constitutional. If they are not and it gets thrown out by the courts, then everyone who voted for it is liable for damages.
You most certainly CAN legislate morality. The American War on (some) Drugs is a perfect example of this. It's not effective however, as victimless crimes don't get reported much, and the slipery slope of incentivising people to ignore the law inevitably leads to higher crime rates.
Selling bikes involves production costs for making bikes. Selling copyrighed stuff is almost free. The Rich want the highest profit margins possible. Of course enforcing copyright is expensive, but that's paid by the government not the Rich. Privatize the profit, Socialize the cost.
If we have to choose between letting the NSA spy on us, as well as China and Russia and Organized Crime, or locking the door and not letting anyone spy on us, I think our National Security is better served by choosing Nobody spies.
This clear case of lying in court can have 1 of 4 results:
1-Arrest the board of directors of AT&T for perjery. Five years in prison sounds about right. 2-The Judge issues an order to undo the merger. 3-The Judge orders AT&T to drop prices by twice the increase, and keep them there for 5 years. 4-The party of the 0.01%ers can cheer small government, where small government means eliminating rules and laws that limit the ability of the rich to fleece the sheeple.
1-Hydropower batteries: 2 water reservoirs, one high up and 1 low down. Have a hydrogenerator linking them in 1 direction and a water pump in the other. 2-Molten salt battery: input power heats the molten salt, a steam engine runs a generator to pull it out on demand.
No, orders should be processed in order. They should also be queued up for 5 minutes before processing to prevent people with expensive hardware from gaming the system.
There are only 2 good reasons to build a nuclear reactor: 1-for medical isotopes, 2-for building nuclear reactors. Thorium reactors are poorly suited both so they don't get built.
It's been done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Also Hyperloop can replace air travel for most land routes. If we synthesize oil from CO2 we get a carbon neutral fuel source, suitable for ships.
The air traffic control system uses flight coridors, similar to highways. So even though they have all that 3D space to fly in, they only get to use a little bit of it. This results in gridlock on popular routes.
You should not use biometrics for access control. Using biometrics is like having a really long password, and writing it on your shirt. Anyone who wants to can copy your voice and gain access. And once compromised there is no way to change your password.
But does the publisher do any of these things? If they don't then it doesn't cost them money. These festivals cost money to run, I expect they want to have the event self supporting (money wise) as telling your wife you want to spend 5,000 dollars to have a quiddich match won't go down well.
The Leader of the Free World shares some qualities with the person who cuts your birthday cake. If they say "I want to eat the whole cake" then you don't want that person doing the job.
There should be 1 government organization responsible for computer security, and they should not also be in charge of spying as that deters foreign governments and corporations from fully cooperating with them. Giving them legal authority to force companies to patch security holes would also help.
The Constitution of the USA doesn't grant rights, it recognizes the pre-existing rights people have. Therefore all people should have them, not just Americans.
I think it would be possible to have cell phones regularly switch their IMEI codes with other phones. It would require them to route their calls through a VPN that keeps track of the details/crypto and hands out IMEI codes. You'd still be able to make and receive phone calls, and nobody else would be able to track you or listen in to your calls (without breaking into the VPN).
I see no evidence the Republicans like small government, nor do they appear to understand prudent fiscal policy. If you run a Trillion dollar a year deficit during "Good Times", what happens when we get a recession?

The leader of the party with the most seats in the house becomes prime minister. It's like replacing the electoral college with the house of commons.

If you use breeder reactors to convert all that U238 into fuel then you get 2,000 years of energy for the whole planet.

For the cost of the lunar mining operation you could build a solar power station on earth to run your entire country.

By the time we hear about a new exploit, we assume the NSA has already used it to spy on us.
