I find it very hard to imagine how this could be an ethics violation, unless one considers the possibility that members of the House don't understand what the word "ethics" means -- or "violation" for that matter, given some members beliefs on rape.
If the members of the House have any "ethics" at all, you can be fairly certain that they either stole them from someone else, or received them from a lobbyist as a bribe.
How would you stop such autonomous cargo truck with no driver to shoot at?
Well, how about not letting Islamic hordes of hoodlums into your country in the first place?
It also takes too long to manually process all the asylum applications. Germany needs an AI system to flag those who obviously have no grounds for seeking asylum. These could be expedited, with a human making the final judgement. Any asylum seeker found guilty of committing a violent crime should be booted immediately. A group of Islamic asylum seekers set a homeless man on fire in a Berlin subway station . . . this just *after* the Berlin Christmas market attacks. They were all already had police records for other offenses.
I'm actually surprised that other Islamic folks tolerate this type of behavior by members of their communities. Sure, technology can help, but what is really needed is the political will to deal the Islamic problem. Note that other Islamic countries do not accept any "refugees" . . . there's a reason why they don't.
We'll see how things go at the New Year's celebration in Cologne. There will be an extra 1,000 police on the streets. Will that be enough to prevent more Islamic shenanigans . . . ? Or will they just go wild in another city . . . ?
The "Fearless Leader" has decreed that there is enough memory to last for the lifetime of the user. If it gets close to running out of memory, the lifetime of the user will be adjusted accordingly.
However, due to the regulatory red tape and NIMBY/enviro freakout factions in the US, investing in reactor construction in the US seems like a very expensive and extremely risky proposition.
Well, Trump did say that he wants to increase out nuclear capacity, so I guess he's planning for Atomic Boy Scout reactors in everyone's backyards . . .
In other news, Apple has secretly hired a team of "Test Conformance" executives and engineers from Volkswagen, to ensure that the battery lasts longer, when it detects that it is being tested.
Back in my younger days, vendors would add obscure flags to the C compiler, to ensure that it produced code optimized for benchmark tests.
I could have bought kosher goose for a dozen families.
I once gave a holiday goose to a dozen secretaries. My employer got slammed with a sexual harassment lawsuit, and I had to attend "Sensitivity Training".
Nobody understands the Winter Holiday Spirit anymore.
Where I live, the folks selling cellphones are mostly students, earning their beer money. They will, of course, try to sell you the phone that pays the highest commission for them.
Particularly lucrative for them are two year contracts with a cell provider . . . which I don't need, since my employer pays for it. They will nevertheless keep asking, "What do you pay for your cell phone service? I can offer you something cheaper!" When I finally answer, "I pay nothing", then they finally give up. Then they sell me the phone I want, with a unfriendly attitude.
Luckily, "fast" food places won't waste time trying to sell you stuff that you don't want . . . they want to serve you and get one to the next customer, as quickly as they can.
I was just going to say, all they need to do is torture the shooter. Oh, the Turkish Special Forces shot the shooter dead . . . ? Well, then torture his family. They have already been arrested anyway.
What . . . ? His family members don't know the password . . . ? Well, torture them anyway . . . it will keep the torturers well-practiced in the fine art of torture . . .
. . . China is building yet even more artificial military base islands in the Arctic waters, to add more weight to their claim that the Arctic is part of China's territorial waters. This claim is not recognized by any other nations . . . yet.
The Chinese navy also announced that they have captured a US Navy drone in their waters. It is very large and coated with a blubbery black skin, that is probably "stealth" technology. The drone appears to be armed with a water jet weapon, that sporadically spews from the top of the drone. It is powered by bottom dwelling sea crustacean critters that it scoops up with a toothed dredging device at the front of the drone. Chinese scientists plan to disassemble the drone to discover how the crustacean critters are converted into energy.
Chinese navy crew members have claimed to have seen a "white" version of the drone, but the Chinese Admiralty brushes this off as sailors who have been out to sea too long, with too much rice wine, and too little women folk around.
Instead of Scotts EZ Seed, plant your lawn with Punji sticks, dipped in concentrated Cone Snail toxin. Buy a sturdy wood chipper to get rid of any Meth Head corpses. A coyote or a stray dog gnawing on the leg of a human corpse is bound to attract attention, and you don't want any of that. You can, however, use the refuse from the wood chipper to make Soylent Meth Head Green Dog Food. Don't worry, your dog won't get Meth Mouth from a Meth Head doggie treat.
Instead of rock salt or bird-shot loads that you use for plinking the neighborhood kids on your lawn, use a hybrid load of buckshot and potassium chloride, in rock crystalline form, to dispatch the Meth Heads with steel-soled boots who make it through the Punji stick fields. The potassium chloride causes immediate cardiac arrest, so if the cops show up before you wood chipperize the Meth Head, you can just say that the shotgun blast startled the Meth Head, causing a heart attack. "He must have taken too much meth, huh?"
If you've ever visited the home of a Meth Head, you'll notice that it is packed to the rafters with useless junk. Meth Heads don't sleep at night and wander around stealing stuff that they can hawk for Meth Cash, but they also end up with a lot strange stuff. So you might encounter a Meth Head wearing SWAT team body armor, that he picked up off a sleeping cop. In that case, as your last line of defense, you should keep a Heckler & Koch MP7 handy. Note the MP7, and not the MP5. The MP7 will stop just about anything, including the SWAT team BearCat, if the Meth Head has stolen that, as well.
Enjoy the tranquility of feeling safe in your office!
It's nice to know you've made that decision based on knowing all the facts of the case contained in a slashdot summary.
The FBI arrested him. No other facts or evidence is needed. If he was innocent, the FBI wouldn't have arrested him, would they?
Hell, the US is ready to start World War Three with the Russians over some suspicions and accusations that the FBI may or may not have made, depending who you ask, and the time of day. All we know right now wouldn't fill a Slashdot summary.
Hillary says she lost the election because of brilliant Russian hackers who sent a Phishing link to Podesta, and claimed that they were the Crown Prince of Nigeria. She wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true, would she?
I personally believe that the Russians hacked DNC servers containing campaign videos, and planted subliminal messages stating "Vote for Trump!" These messages seriously messed up my senile grandfather's bridge game, causing him to blurt out uncontrollably during bidding, "No Trump! No Trump!"
No more studies are necessary. The answer is perfectly clear: Bacon. Those Danes produce lots of it! Even the venerable "The Economist" takes note of that:
"Denmark is a tiny country, with 5.6m people and wallet-draining labour costs. But it is an agricultural giant, home to 30m pigs and a quiverful of global brands. In 2011 farm products made up 20% of its goods exports. The value of food exports grew from €4 billion ($5.5 billion) in 2001 to €16.1 billion in 2011. The government expects it to rise by a further €6.7 billion by 2020." http://www.economist.com/news/...
All that happiness-bringing bacon cancels out all those depressing, but brilliant, Lars Von Trier films.

Not saying Denmark is some shining bacon of mental health
“From a pathological standpoint, the incipient twenty-first century is determined neither by bacteria nor by viruses, but by neurons. Neurological illnesses such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), and burnout syndrome mark the landscape of pathology at the beginning of the twenty-first century. They are not infections, but infarctions; they do not follow from the negativity of what is immunologically foreign, but from an excess of positivity. Therefore, they elude all technologies and techniques that seek to combat what is alien.”

Urban farming is already extremely lucrative! Except, the crops grown are only rarely eaten, and more often smoked.
German politicians are even trying it out on their own rooftops in Berlin, as can be seen in this Ice Bucket Challenge video:

I am baffled why Americans believe they have a "right" to tax the sale of a product made in China and sold in France.

"I think we should tax foreigners, living abroad."
Kinda sorta the same idea . . .
