It's his job. Based on the report, he isn't doing anything wrong. In fact, he should be given an award for finding a way to get violators with such efficiency.
OTOH, if the law doesn't actually say what he claims it does, then he should be reprimanded. Unless he has done it before, then e should be shown the door. If you are a resident and don't like it, contact the chief of police and the mayor.
how many of them where paid? how many that went to court were held up?
I know a lot of police officers. MOst of them are nice people doing their job. some are assholes. Just like in any group of people.
based on the media report, this guy falls into the asshole camp. for example: The officer told us a little trick he uses: If he can't see your screen directly, he just counts the number of times you touch your screen.
So you saw me poking as something and you assume I'm texting? Yeah, see you in court. In fact, I urge everyone who got a ticket it to take it to court.
fewer people die per billion miles now then 50 years ago. When a police officer has pulled someone over, everyone slows down. Slower vehicles means more response time and less energy to distribute during an impact.
So take someone with some skill, but not up to date, without any current focus on the dev process, not up to speed in priorities, and then just toss them into the dev team and expect they will make things go faster? And some how keep there marketing work happening?
1) visible light is invisible to CO2 2) Visible light create infra-red when it strikes the earth 3) Infra red light is opaque to infra red. 4) thus more CO2 = more trapped heat.
The fact is., you are too stupid to understand the details.
" If CO2 did indeed have an amplification effect on water as proposed by global warming catastrophe believers, we would have seen much higher temperature than what we have so far." False.
" if CO2 has a more minor inpact as the physics tells us (1.0 degrees C of warming per doubling) or even less" physics doesn't tell us that. The discussion has been had, by experts in the field. Consensus is in. There is nothing to discuss anymore by the lay man. This applies to you and your ilk:
I have seen it, all over the place. Sorry. and of cours enot a single won can say what they mean by small.
"and the proof is easy to see, "
yes, becasue they are all short sighted, suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect, and can't understand anything complex.
Climate change is a prime example. It's hard, it takes a lot of data, it takes deep understanding. Since libertarian can't understand it,l clearly it's not true.
You don't know what science is, do you? It was vetted by a lot of experts in the fields, not some group that also worked with the climate gate people..which, as t turns out., was a made up media event.
" 1) Long term measurement data is unavailable, and only a few proxies (ice cores) for parts of this this have been found." also trees, which give us very accurate data, btw.
"To predict longer terms, more of the planet's weather has to be modeled. " More model is nice, but there is more to it. You aren't even looking at the primary data we know: CO2 is invisible to visible light, and opaque to infrared light. So when visible light strikes a surface, it creates infra-red. Since more CO2 equals more material to trap infra-red light, the prediction is teps go up.
All this 'discussions' is either based in ignorance, or cherry picking small piece of data while disregarding the bigger picture.
It's not like we don't know why increased CO2 cause the temp to rise.
So take you opinion and put it where it belongs: 1970. Find out what facts we actually know before droning on.
specifically, regression to the mean. And expected and predicted event. It's a single event among many they clearly show the earth is warming form increased infra-red trapping from CO2.
You should educate yourself: Speed doesn't matter. The VAST majority of buys do ont care about speed. They care about features and the attention they get for buying the phone immediately.

Jobs came back, Gave Ive the leeway he needed, and pushed for thing no one else was doing to a very high degree of standard.
Tim Cook does none of that. I said it when Jobs passed: "Apple will decline in the market a year after his death becasue the share holders wont' hire a real innovative drive for CEO."
What has happened under Cook? His great 'innovation' is to move Apples products form a expensive and desired high end market and create an cheapo plastic version of the phone. Of this keeps up, Cook and the share holders will turn apple into Dell.
we see emergent behavior appearing in swarms of pots, as well as simulations. There is a whole research field about it, maybe you should look into it instead of claim it can't be real becasue your crappy single purpose software doesn't do it... and for most software emergent behavior is not desirable.
" Your big ass-brain is highly inefficient, we don't know enough about the brain to say that. There is too much unknown about what it does to say whatever it's doing is inefficient.
We know a lot more then 30 years ago, but still there are a lot of unknowns. Specifically emergent properties.
emergent as in a lot of thing working together to create a indirect behaviors. Not emergent as in XMen.
Robot AND humans. Human are a lot better at some thing then robots. Humans can do some things robots won't be able to do for 2 or 3 decades.
Plus, Human exploration gets more people pay attention.
No one ignores that robots get better. We make decision on what we know we can use, not on what might come someday. Do you know how you get robots that are good at space exploration and expansion? you send people and use robots as an aid.
And yes, there are things robots do that humans can't do.

How about the fact that no good study has been done that indicate it's a problem?
Yes, you are a target, they are out to get YOU. hunting you down. They are the problem for all your ills! YOu are so important you are a target.
You look up., realize the light has just turn yellow so you gun it to get through the intersection.
Anyways, it's not about killing. As the operator you are supposed to be aware of your surroundings.

false.
The have been dropping significantly.

I am, but it would violate the Time Travel Convention of 1862, ratified 1 minute later by the Sol space colonies in 2378.
