The electric company wires are a great place to string fiber optic cables to every house. You already have the right-of-way, and fiber isn't affected by emi from the power lines. Put a tripple-play box (tv, internet, phone) inside the power meter and rent the bandwidth to anyone who wants a piece and you bypass all those pesky cable monopolies too.
only the senior executives of a corporation have control over what it does, so only they should be arrested for the crimes of the corporation. The shareholders would appoint new ones and the corporation would continue.
High energy ground based lasers, using adaptive optics to reduce atmospheric distortion, could reliably block North Korean missiles from hitting America. All the technology exists for this.
Power corrupts, and bad people work to get in positions of power. We still haven't found a solution to those problems. And no, having new people just means the government can't do their job properly and gets taken advantage of easily.
The US Constitution prohibits searches without a warrant. Doing "Jobs" for the government makes you an employee of the government and therefore subject to the Constitution, so this should be illegal. Of course the Federal Government chooses the supreme court judges so the law can be interpreted.
A better plan is to have the power grid wired into the roads, so your electric car runs off the grid (mains) while driving. This eliminates the heavy and expensive battery pack and replaces it with a small one that can get your car from your driveway to the road and back. Massive cost savings and eliminates recharge entirely. It will require an expensive upgrade to the roadways, but that's a one time expense.
Also internal combustion generators don't idle, where most of the automotive air pollution is generated. They run at full power and efficiency or they are off. They throttle generators to meet power demand by turning on or off individual units instead of changing the rpm.
Federal Government employees (in America) are limited by the American Constitution. Anyone who works for the Gov is an employee, including employees of a cellphone company who do jobs for the police, and therefore should be under Constitutional limits. Gathering location data for the purpose of handing over to police counts as working for the government.
Do you think they will be motivated to upgrade their network for those who don't pay extra? Will it bother them that carving a "fast lane" out of their bandwidth will slow everyone else down? Having a fast lane means they get paid more if they throttle your connection and to slow your ping time (to force you to upgrade).
There is a huge difference between choosing to hand over what you have/know, and having a man with a gun come demand it. It's the same as a school teacher "Asking" one of his teen students out on a date. People in power need special rules to prevent them from taking advantage of others.
Popular people don't need human rights, they have friends to protect them. Defending human rights therefore always involves protecting the worst people.
If the government owned the internet (wiring and switches) then they could impose fairness and upgrade the system to guarantee sufficient bandwidth for everyone. And anyone could compete to deliver content, with no huge barrier to entry from some gouging corporation.
How about allowing the party being sued to challenge the validity of the patent, every single time it's used in a lawsuit. And force the patent office to actually verify the patent meets patent law before they issue the patent.
Terminally ill people (disease will kill them, no known cure) deserve to be able to experiment beyond the safe bounds of medical law. If it works they save countless other lives, if it fails at least they had hope in their final days.
1-The last court case involving the FBI and Apple involved the FBI attempting to get a court order to force Apple to make a program to aid in unlocking the phone. Given that the judge didn't dismiss that attempt I assume the matter is either legal or open to interpretation. 2-If the killer was part of a terrorist cell then we want to know who the others are before they attack.
Apple should be demanding a court order before they do anything, unless they are getting paid (in secret, for secret help). They should absolutely fight any attempt by the FBI to force them to make a program/machine that will unlock any Iphone, without a court order, and in the custody of the FBI (because the police only get court orders if they have to, and that's the biggest check and balance on their powers).
Because there is no way for him to prove he destroyed everything, and no way for them to prove somone else didn't independently find the flaws, and no way for anyone to prove someone isn't actively exploiting the bug right now.

Correct. Many of the scientific advances we enjoy came from war. The Nobel Prize came from a man unhappy his invention helped kill.

Designing the system to cook people would be more effective, as the weapons would be shielded.

Your medical records are created by your doctor, so clearly they belong to him and he can hand them out without a warrant, right?

Biometrics is like having a really long password, written on your shirt. But it's so long, nobody could ever guess it!

If Apple can update the firmware to prevent bricking the phone then they can update the phone to match any pin.
Russia has stronger gun control than America. What, you think Putin wants the citizens to overthrow him?
They would have been better off just rushing him. Hundreds of unarmed people can easily take down 1 heavily armed thug with body armour.
If Apple made their phones unbreakable all this legal hassle would end.
