So does that mean nsc cia fbi can set up shop in England use the existing draconian laws passed by their Lordships and then go back down the pipe to the USA and use the same amount of spying the Brits do? They could always claim they were obeying British Law couldn't they?
This is a popular science flying cars article. We all should have one by now. It's true that farming has changed, but total automation is a ways off. Robotic tractors and Combines won't replace the farmer. Does a robotic tractor know how to till terraced land, deal with hidden mud holes that pop up after storms deal with rocky soil etc. Combines right now are in the 300,000 dollar range, and one of them going straight through a fence and driving through a creek because the gps failed, is not going to sit well with farmers. Air seed drills right now are in the 100,000 dollar range and are getting to the level of sophistication that they require a lot of maintenance. They are used in no till farming, and save fuel and water. But maintaining everything to get the seed in the ground is starting to take up any cost savings there is. To drive the robotic tractor and combine you have to have a gps ground station that amplifies the signal to get the accuracy you need. Last time I checked most farmers who used them had to pool together to buy them and share the use which isn't always ideal. Automation has it's place, but it is not quite ready for prime time in farming. There have been how many accidents with driverless cars? I'm still waiting for my Jetson flying car from Spacely Sprockets.
The unemployment figures are probably closer to 15 percent. After running out of unemployment benefits you are no longer counted as unemployed. Also the polls showed Trump losing the election and I think you know what happened there. Don't believe everything you hear and half of what you see. I hope Trump makes a good president, but the one thing we didn't need was more gridlock. Everybody who votes should keep this in mind. In fact if your congressman or Senator is not performing to help this country petition to remove him. The time for this country to become better is about to pass if we don't compromise and work together to make things better for all people.
Having gone through a huge hail storm in south central Kansas a few years back I can tell you what to expect. Damage was extensive over a 3 county area taking roofs siding automobiles and windows on the house. The waiting period for me to see an agent with my insurance company was 90 days. They tried to low ball all the estimates they could and fight you in court. The insurance companies pooled their money, so when I went to cash the check for repairs, the bank said they would hold the check for two weeks until it cleared. I ask why and they said sometimes there was money in the insurance pool, sometimes there wasn't. And if it would come to you having skylights on the roof, if you had the wrong policy [one that didn't have a rider for skylights] you would not get coverage for carpet and interior damage.So an expensive glass roof from Elon Musk would require an expensive rider. Any savings in electricity might be offset by premiums waiting for the mother of all hail storms. I have had 5 roofs put on my house in an ownership period of 30 years. I have quit insurance companies because they have dropped total replacement and wanted to do a depreciation policy. So if you want to stand out in your front yard and argue with an adjuster about depreciation on your solar panels be my guest. If you live in Mojave California you might beat the odds, but not everywhere.
Zero emission cars are not necessarily zero emission. If you are producing all the electricity with solar or wind you are getting closer. An internal combustion engine is not going to be zero emissions unless you figure out how to hydrogen properly and safely. Crash impact could make a rather nasty bomb out of a pressurized hydrogen tank. Electric cars also have battery disposal issues right now. How do you dispose of lithium ion batteries without pollution. Also the ingredients seem to be a finite material as well. I don't see the internal combustion disappearing as fast as the predictions say.We are still in the infancy of all this technology, and to just declare something is over with because you want it to be isn't reality.We have been dealing with internal combustion engines for 100 years and it probably is time to move on, but we have a way to go. Mass transit on the ground in the U.S. might help a lot. I've always thought Aircraft have been a false economy. There is a need for some sort of high speed rail system transcontinental. Traveling around in cramped quarters at 45000 feet just doesn't appeal to me anymore. If I don't get clear across the United states in 4 hours I can live with that. I particularly like the idea of a system of a mag lev buried in the ground in a tube with low wind resistance at high speed. Expensive yes, but it is close to being a system that could be high speed as well as low emissions.
It hasn't worked for Algebra. You learn it when your young, never use it in your adult life ever, yet there it is to face the next college student. You would think that with all the people who forgot it, it would no longer exist. yet there it is........... There must be an algebraic expression for that. If I could only remember it.
I would suggest an investigation of Health insurance Companies and Big Pharma to see how interlocking the Boards of the companies are. Also source drugs from outside the United States. If you recall they passed laws to make you a criminal for going to Canada for your prescriptions. Call them all in for Congressional hearings and threaten to re-instate anti-trust laws on all involved Bust up the biggest of the bunch. Set down and tell the AMA that there will be more admissions allowed to medical school and there would be government incentives for more medical schools at Public universities. Make it so there are as many Doctors in this country as Subway sandwich shops. To make it more competitive for the consumer. It's sad that free market economies have gotten down to precisely controlled conspiracies to fleece the public. Physician heal thyself. Of course you will have to Jail the members of the house and senate for corruption on failing to investigate the corruption.
I like to think Mr. Musk could accomplish this in his lifetime. However a statue containing his ashes could be sitting on mars a few hundred years after his death. I wish him luck with his plans.
The way our "democracy" works now is we are the carcass the lions [big corporations] feed upon. Any interference is dealt with by the politicians [jackals] who get the leavings. In countries where there are no "democracies" or less desirable forms of government or outright socialism the internet is regulated as a utility and is not metered out for so many bucks a megabite. Wonder who is more corrupt. Nothing term limits can't fix. It's a better alternative to artificially controlled resources being doled out at higher and higher rates. Examples : internet, medicine, food, health care housing. See a pattern here? Do nothing about term limits, see you at the food riots
What I don't understand about all of this is Congress is mad at the EU for wanting to tax the enormous profits of a multinational whose Human rights record is not very good.I understand Ireland wanting to set itself up as a tax haven for Apple. But that violates the rights of the EU. Congress should be mad at Apple for parking it's money offshore. I just read on here the other day Apple increased its profits by having the company in China who makes their products cut pay and increase hours on the workers. Everybody thinks poor Apple is the victim in all this. I think everybody is the victim of poor Apple. We have been denied any tax on their profits, their Human rights record stinks, and their products are overpriced. I'm not knocking the quality or performance, just the price.Price they put on Humans and the price they put on the USA for what they are doing. I for one don't drink the Apple juice. I think if they were boycotted for the business practice it would go a long way towards changing their culture. Probably won't happen though, cause nobody cares.
I don't know if you can say the lawyers were doing a good job of protecting her.By their actions alone this could be argued obstruction of justice. Your not doing a good job of protecting anybody if you choose to obstruct by deleting the evidence. You are speculating that she had nothing seriously wrong on that server, but by deleting you eliminate the chance for discovery.There is just to much linkage between the Clinton Foundation and the Office of Secretary of State. The conflict between these two entities being run through a server in her sole control without any safeguards until after the fact [bleachbit] is like closing the gate after the horse got out. I think there is a pretty strong case for an obstruction charge and not a misdemeanor one.
I used to work at a major Aerospace firm. We had annual meetings followed by a test to cover our knowledge concerning classified material. And we also had one covering one about proprietary intellectual property as well. It had a test as well. Both said if you were involved misuse of government secrets or company secrets you could count on prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. In some of the things not to do involved encryption.Nothing was to leave the property without the proper encryption.I'm sure Hillary was warned of this in briefings when she became secretary of state. What is interesting where I worked I never came in contact with proprietary intellectual property or government secrets. But as with the rest of the thousands of people who worked there like it or not you had to annualy go through the briefings and the tests. For her to feign she didn't know she was doing something wrong is a big stretch of the credibility. She should not seek public office and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If Eric Snowden is guilty, she is guilty as hell.
The NSA can tap every phone in the country, but they can't find Rachel from cardholder services. The sad truth is these creatures prey on the elderly, and people who may not have the sophistication to deal with these solicitors. So it is far from harmless or victimless, and sometimes with little recourse. Now that may sound like small potatoes. But thousands of calls are placed, and they only have to be right a small percentage of this to make money and to ruin lives. The common carriers like them because of the revenue stream. I'm sure they have the capability to stop them, but that is not in there best interest to do so as they are making money as well. The FTC provides lip service they are out to get them, but I'm sure the lobbying efforts keep them from doing anything. So you can bet the carriers and the telemarketing industry are lobbying hard to keep the status quo. I think to myself that I'm to smart to fall for these scams, but now that I'm older I keep thinking someday I might not have as good of faculties and fall for something that could wipe me out financially. It does happen.
So my galaxy 7 doesn't have the iris scanner. So Now I must take it out on the driveway and stomp on it and go spend another 650 enslave myself to another 2 year contract so I can have the Iris scanner. March on Consumer Bot to the land of planned obsolescence. I don't think I'll drink the kool-aid anymore.
How bad science starts. "No we are not going to do this" lasts about 20 years. Then Rogue nations start doing it, and then we think we need to protect ourselves from a SuperRace [Star Treks Khan Type] So we start research. Now we also have research into artificial brains. So in the near future those two will get together and eliminate humans. The rise of the machines Fade to black.

The next step was for the venture capitalists was to sell Beechcraft off to Textron. Now Beech is a subsidiary of textron along side of Cessna.

I was holding out for the bowl of skittles analogy myself. Saying it's like oreos means it must be a mexican cartel.
Couldn't have anything to do with short term outlook by poor management in companies? Instant results under pressure to perform on the bottom line.

Just put the word "anal" with any of the Ford Models; Edge, Focus, Probe, Excursion, Ranger. Who has the bigger problem naming cars?
