Do you think nuclear power stations in Japan were unregulated?
We have oversight already, which is the point I was getting at mentioning the MMS. I'm sure Japan had oversight as well. Oversight in the states is one reason why we're still running seriously outdated reactors, so it could be suggested that oversight can work against safety. I'm not suggesting all or nothing, but it's foolish to say "we need oversight". We have it.
If anything, there needs to be more accountability when things get this messed up. Companies won't sacrifice safety as much if they believe it's financially unsound or if it's going to land the decision makes in prison. Perhaps the same is needed for the government overseers.
Where would they send those jobs? I doubt there's a foreign country with enough skilled workers whose government wouldn't make the same demands or worse. This type of BS is not unique to the US federal government.
Yea.. oversight. Like how the oversight of the Mines and Mineral Service here in the states prevented the British Petroleum disaster that spewed oil into the gulf for weeks. I'll take profit motive over a government agency's oversight any day, the odds are better. At least the company has a motivator, the government bureaucrats are just biding their time until they can pension out.
If she thought there'd be leaks, she should have called for an investigation into the security of the government mail servers. You're suggesting she had reason to fear a leak and responded to that by protecting her own email and leaving everything else on the government servers vulnerable.
Not to mention that if they make it their career, they better be able to get enjoyment out of it on their own or they're not going to last long in the workforce. Offices don't generally come with cheerleaders.
Ignore the classification issue entirely. The private mail server was a way of dodging accountability by hiding any potential evidence from where investigators would be able to access it. The whole thing was an attack on government transparency and accountability.
Trump doesn't have supporters. People are voting Trump as a way of expressing their disdain for our seriously messed up federal government. He's the nuclear option. People want to send him to DC to watch the whole mess explode. If you're actually listening to what the Donald has to say, you're missing the whole point. Sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
It's the dems who are ruining health care. Hey, let's tax medical equipment. It's already obscenely expensive, who will even notice? Let's make insurance so expensive that even large employers will drop PPO plans for less expensive disaster plans. Let's promote health saving accounts and ignore the fact that it screws the middle aged worker who hasn't been putting money into one their whole adult life. Remember Obama on the campaign trail? He told some lady in NH that she should just be happy with the pain pill instead of having surgery to fix the underlying problem. Hey, and if your employer sponsored plan is too good, we'll penalize that too. Imagine that, the federal government punishing people having plans that are too good. WTF.
Yea, but was that because of the Olympics or were retailers suffering a slump regardless of the Olympics? If people are buying stuff off of Amazon instead of going to the mall and the Olympics happens to be in town, that doesn't mean the Olympics is what caused the mall to lose money.
Boston got smart, but not necessarily because of what has happened to other Olympic hosts, although that's part of it. The outrageous overruns and fraud that was part of the Big Dig tunnel project is still fresh in everyone's minds, and almost no one was held accountable for any of it. They're still having to make major repairs on tunnels that are still practically brand new.
Then on top of that the subway and commuter rail system has been an absolute disaster since last winter. If they can't get mass transit to work for the workforce, you could imagine what would happen with the Olympics in town.
On top of all that, the former Democrat Governor Deval Patrick was given a very well paid role in preparing the Olympic bid for the US and he hired a bunch of his cronies for big money. I think that was the final nail in the coffin. Governor Cadillac Deval started off on the wrong foot as governor by making some very questionable expenditures for his office and vehicle at a time when the economy was hurting.
Yea, I used to work for a telco. We were subpoenaed constantly for CDR. The feds have certainly already done that. What they're looking for is data on the phone or any trace of non-voice call communications made with the device.
There was also nothing stopping people from talking in code over the phone. The feds wouldn't be able to compel the phone company to crack whatever code words were being used.
You might be able to say things in public, but post on Twitter or Facebook or any of social media and it's quite possible that your commentary will be removed. The "right wing" isn't responsible for what happened in Cologne on New Year's eve. The "right wing" isn't responsible for women that are too afraid to go outside. No one is talking about shooting unarmed people except for the extremists sneaking in with the flood of economic migrants. Germany is poisoning Europe with its reckless immigration policies. We know in the latest attacks in Paris that at least one of them snuck in with "refugees" via Greece. Yes, people have reason to be afraid, and it is you who are ignoring the human rights of the German and European people.
Parent claims that Germany has free speech and counters a claim to the contrary referencing "differences in culture". The irony is that people who are trying to point out a "difference in culture" with the migrants are having their speech censored by Germany.

There haven't been any notable tech failures in Silicon Valley?
Doesn't "running a bunch of data through a neural network" also define our own existence?
Yea, China feels strongly about people's civil rights.
FFS.

Yep. Because they're going to pay it out of their own pockets and not pass it on. FFS.

Yes, otherwise they would have just done so rather than threaten to do so.

Like Cablecard? The cable companies certainly didn't want that.

You gave them what they wanted.
They'll do what they did with plate scanners in Boston, totally ignore them.

How is censoring any negative comments about the economic migrants an example of Germany embracing freedom of speech?
