Apparently the fool that believes snopes. The same site that doesn't even do basic fact-checking and shouldn't be trusted in anything beyond urban legends? You tell me.
It displays your blindspot in the centre screen when the right signal is on so it can't be illegal here in Canada.
Depends on the province. Ontario and most other provinces besides Quebec haven't changed the regulations in the traffic acts to reflect it yet. But it isn't allowed technically under the existing regulations and traffic law. The only way you'll be caught though is if it's seen in use and you can be pulled over for it. The problem is in ontario o.reg 366/09(and similar) don't grant exemptions for the the mirror to be used in that function. Though in most places it should be updated by the fall.
Or, I suppose, you could just go buy a mirror and attach it to the appropriate location on the car.
Not a bad plan, only problem is if you go to sell the car you have to get it replaced. In many places, when you get a safety done all OEM equipment must be working on the vehicle. So that mirror you attached? Nope, not going to work.
What's going to get really interesting though is all the places where this is illegal. I don't mean replacing mirrors with cameras, I mean where the video displays are counted as a TV(most of north america -- can't comment on europe since I don't know the traffic laws). Which makes it illegal to use unless the vehicle is in reverse or under 5km/h. Something a lot of people don't know is that the trucking industry has been pushing to have video cameras put on trailers for years so the truck driver can see in their blindspots. Said camera is legal, the video display? Illegal to view when the vehicle is in motion.
Doubtful. If CCTV type systems and bait cars don't stop punks from doing it now, this won't. If anything, they'll likely find it as a tempting target to attack, especially since it's an inanimate object and the crime of attacking/destroying/defacing/etc will be significantly lower then against a person. On the other hand, those punks won't try it with a real person or people around. The why is easy to figure out too, people are unpredictable, thus they could simply have the shit beaten out of them or in the worst case get shot. And the penalties for attacking a person are much higher.
Even dumb criminals have self preservation instincts.
Like I said, one of many. That she got off without even a slap on the wrist tells me that there is far more going on behind the scenes, and likely huge piles of dirt on those who would have prosecuted her.
Yes. Politicians shouldn't be held to the same or higher standards then those who've done the same thing right? I realize that this is difficult for ideologues to grasp, but she screwed up in an amazing way and didn't even get a slap on the wrist for it. Where others have done less then her, and are spending time in jail or long probation periods+fines.
P.S. If you know so much and what actually went on, you should be contacting the FBI.
Key points: FBI search of Nishimura's home turned up classified materials, but did not reveal evidence he intended to distribute them. He was sentenced to two years of probation and a $7,500 fine, and was ordered to surrender his security clearance. He is barred from seeking a future security clearance.
Or Petraeus who got 2 years probation along with a $100k fine. And that's just the tip of the iceburg for people who've been caught doing exactly the same thing as she did.
But did Ron MacLean punch one of his colleagues in the face?
Don Cherry did but there were no charges, both people involved just dropped the whole thing(back in the 70's). MacLean never has, and has never been charged with such.
I don't like Valve's dominant market position (70%+ of the market?) at all. 30% off every sale doesn't seem adequate either.
Nothing stopping you from buying your keys from anyone else and using them. Take your pick there's tons of storefronts out there that sell and steam gets a cut of 0% when you buy from them. Whether it be from gamersrepublic, gamersgate, g2a, nuuvem, greenmangaming or whoever else. You can bet you'll find a better deal, and a better sale somewhere. Nuuvem is probably one of the best, since you can buy world-wide keys or NA keys(includes south america) in brazillian dollars, which will cut you a percentage on top of that they run regular sales which lead to more off the top. Or you can buy from GMG, which normally has 10-25% off pre-orders and they sell in GBP, Euro and USD.
He's a loud mouth idiot who was screaming right up until last week that the "ratings have never been higher" and he was the best thing to ever happen to the show. Seems to me they might end up pulling a Rogers. For those that don't know, Rogers got the contract to Hockey Night in Canada and then replaced the old host(Ron MacLean who was host for 30 years) with George Stroumboulopoulos(another loud mouth hipster prick that grates on your neves) believing that he would be really good for the ratings, and they needed a fresh face to make it in the market. Well ratings have tanked through the floor faster then the Titanic going down, so they're now bringing back Ron MacLean to hopefully pull the show out of the ground.
Where did the FBI get a list of people to "visit" prior to the upcoming GOP convention.
Likely the same place that police find criminals posting about their crimes, with evidence in tow. On social media. The people who want to go out and cause shit or problems aren't exactly the brightest people in our society, and they'll relentlessly brag about how they're going to do xyz thing because it makes them feel good. The FBI doing that? That's good policing and a good example that they're actually catching on to how stupid people have shifted. It's also changed the nature of informants.
Pretty much. All I can do is wish I was that damned savvy and could have ridden the train. Probably a lot more people out there with money thanks to it though.
As someone who trades currency on the side, the pound dropping has meant I'm making more money since the currency I start with is already on the low side. Friends of mine who live by just trading stocks made 20-30% returns in the last week betting on the FTSE recovering which it did and was expected to do.
There's several EU countries that have young adult unemployment rates at, near or above 50% now. Seems to me that there's a more serious problem then simply that. Either they don't want to hire people and train them for the jobs, they have requirements for jobs that are stupid or they're shitcanning people who could have been retrained and kept within the company.
Except of course this is wholly different. You're talking about a women's career choice(different jobs, not wanting to work long-hours, etc) vs those wanting to work in that job and being discriminated against because the employer wants them to work long hours which are above the norm(highly skilled vs time put in), or outright refusing to hire them because of their age which is what this suit is also talking about.
I've always been surprised that this is the norm in the US. In Canada the poles are owned and maintained either by the city or county or IA(improvement area). The utility(outside of electricity) pay a flat rate per x number of poles or per-pole to use them, which goes directly into the cities or counties revenue pool. Around here it's $25/pole, if you're using the old poles still after they've laid new utility poles(they recently moved from 30ft poles placed in the 1910's to 90ft poles), then the company still using them is taxed $200/pole.
Sorry Canada isn't part of the US, you mean US justice isn't data driven. It is here in Canada. The problem is that the US is currently in a "restorative vs retribution" phase of their justice system. Canada went through this about 40 years ago, and it was a mess then too. Sadly this also means that here in Canada prisons and jails that should have been replaced 30 years ago were never replaced. Meaning that you've still got prisons that were built 100 years ago still being used, and every time the previous government tried to get a new prison to open to replace failing and aged facilities the liberals would come running out of the woodwork screaming about how inhumane it is. One can't forget either that this extends to provincial facilities which are horribly overcrowded. So overcrowded that people who are on a serve-weekends sentence, generally go home, this is how it works: You show up on Friday 5pm for your period of incarceration you stay there until Sunday at 5pm. Now since the jails are so overcrowded, if you get there not late but near the end of the line. They simply record you showed up and send you home.
Right now for example there are 4.4 prisoners for every free bed in most provincial systems. In the federal system there are roughly 2.2 persons for every bed. That actually means that some people who should be in prison aren't being sent to prison to serve their term.
Anyway, something else. And this is what happens when you go too far with restorative justice and you start seeing stuff like what they have in some european countries and here in Canada. Where even repeat offenders of violent crimes are not put into jail at all and simply put into a revolving door system. Examples of people being arrested for 150+ assaults/robberies/etc before ending up in jail the first time happen more often then you'd think. One of the crimlaw professors I had a couple of years ago, told me of a case where a guy had been arrested 240+ times for assault, sexual assault, assault with a weapon, before he was finally arrested and put into prison for 15 years. Why did it finally happen? Oh that's easy, he broke into Canadian Tire store, stole a pile of long guns, then tried to ambush a police officer and kill him. Only failed because he put the wrong ammo in the gun. Or you see things like the "double time served" for a person who is sent to a provincial jail, meaning each day served counts as X time instead. These days it's capped at 2 days, but there are cases where judges would go as high as 1 day in provincial equals 8 days in prison.
Keep in mind as well, that in countries like Canada and many in the EU that the justice system has swung very far to the rights of prisoners vs the rights of society. It will start swinging back and is already doing so. See the above capping of days served for an example.
Something else as well, crime classification in Norway is fundamentally different then it is in the US or even Canada. Said recidivism rates are close if not comparable in many crimes, especially things like robbery, break and enter and so on. The difference is, Norway shifts people who've already been in the system into a secondary category for those that offend again, which skews their actual recidivism rates.
Can yous see a pattern here? Images used to mislead you. Lack of context and links to the original threads that would let you investigate yourself. For extraordinary claims like this you need extraordinary proof, so I remain unconvinced.
Well that's astounding. You remain unconvinced of threads where information is removed and you can't see anything. Noting above, and the "racial discrimination" or the usual cop-out when something is mentioned that they find offensive. AKA censorship because the subject matter will hurt their feelings.
So, yes, internet BS, not a financial market or internation treaty negoatiation or anything else *important* that happens on the 'net.
And yet millions of people get their news from sites like reddit every day. And when mods of "default subs" remove information that makes their ideology look bad, or because it hurts their feelings. Or a site like reddit has a larger impact on society as a whole, then it moves from "internet BS" to "that street corner where everyone talks." This of course is one of the big reasons there was a big backlash against facebook for their bias in "directing the news" to only particular points of view. I realize this might be difficult for someone to grasp, especially for someone who doesn't understand how the internet has changed the world. But now you've learned something and are less ignorant for it.
And it's a good thing he posted it to/r/privacy. If he'd posted it to/r/news he'd likely have been banned, then shadowbanned for his trouble while the mods and admins would send him messages saying that he was banned for wrongthink or something along those lines.
If you're trying to reconfirm an existing conclusion using their data first, then your own is the best option to see if everything is the same. Remember, the story on/. not more then a few months ago showing that ~60% of studies couldn't be reproduced even using the same methodology as the original?
Slashdot Mirror
The device is illegal, the vehicle is not. FYI the use of those on RV's also illegal. Welcome to traffic law 101.

Sounds to me like you live/work in a very shitty area. I can leave my car parked out in the street and unlocked and nothing happens.
Doubtful. If CCTV type systems and bait cars don't stop punks from doing it now, this won't.

But you're right, defying Clinton is like defying the mob. Ask this guy who just happened to "crush his own throat" right before testifying. Then there are all those other mysterious deaths, and so many of those.

Sure. Also to note /r/worldnews engages in censorship as well. You can look through this sub which tracks censorship. Or you can head over to this link here on KiA(aka those "awful" gamergate people, who continue to do their jobs tracking this stuff) which has also covered /r/news censorship. r/news has a long history of censoring anything that doesn't agree with their groupthink. TPP? Removed and you're banned. Islamic terrorist attacks in western countries? "Local crime story" removed and you're banned. Factually pointing out someone is wrong? That's racist. You're also banned. Mass sexual assaults? "Local crime story" you're also likely banned. Unless of course it happens in a non-western country and doesn't involve illegals...then that's okay.
You can also check(NSFW on some links) r.go1dfish.me and pick the subs you want by sticking a sub at the end of it like this r.go1dfish.me/r/news/
And it's a good thing he posted it to /r/privacy. If he'd posted it to /r/news he'd likely have been banned, then shadowbanned for his trouble while the mods and admins would send him messages saying that he was banned for wrongthink or something along those lines.
