We should give Mr. Snowden a medal for providing the information. It is blatantly obvious that the full power of the US government would make any fair trial impossible. And the really stupid part of it all is that alerts and warnings work both ways. If we deprive Germany of terrorist information you can bet that Germany would also not notify the US if their agencies picked up any information about an attack against an American interest.
Further is the US wants to win the war against terror we have a simple way to make the Arab region very interested in hunting down terror nuts. Simply block 100% of the oil shipments out of the mid-east. That would cause every government and person of power in the region to eagerly hunt down terrorists with a great zeal. We could also seize all assets held outside of the mid-east. We could also keep the mid-east from importing anything at all.
After having their nation's wealth raided by a collapse of British banks I suspect that the public feels a bit like a pirate seeking a bit of revenge. After all if banks, and stock markets can destroy a person's wealth why should that person not seek to get even and do a bit of pirating to get even?
We will see businesses insist upon self driving cars. The local pizza joint has huge issues with delivery. The liability as well as the expense create too much demand for self driving vehicles. Imagine a machine making your pizza and another machine boxing that pizza and loading it into an autonomous vehicle for delivery. A human might need to come in a few minutes a day to be certain that all is well but the entire business can be automated with zero labor expenses. Then imagine insurance companies pushing for self driving cars. After all the great risk to their profits is not sheet metal but wounded mortals. So the local grocery store can pull your order, slam it to your debit card and your autonomous vehicle can pull into the loading bay and bring it home to you. Reduced exposure to driver and passenger injuries will cause insurance companies to push for self driving vehicles. The grocery stores will love it as they will need far less cashiers and they won't even need top display the products to the public. Frankly businesses could care less about the public or what the public wants or needs. Businesses care about money and money says that cars and trucks without humans are far more profitable. Imagine Fed X or UPS doing their thing without human drivers.
Use a PC and get Scientific Linux. The lads over at CERN created Scientific Linux exactly for science students. It is free and it is solid and a wonderful distribution. By now I'm sure numerous specialty programs will run on that distro. Imagine that Scientific Linux is what nuclear scientists do in their spare time. WOW!!!!
Considering the degree of pollution in New Jersey one would think that both the public and the government would fall to their knees thanking Tesla and make the Tesla the only car or truck to legally be on any road in the state. And if Tesla has delivered a product so superior that the entire, traditional auto industry is bankrupted then so be it. It also appears that the motorcycle industry will be abandoning internal combustion products quite quickly. Electric motorcycles are beating up gasoline powered bikes with ease at this time. Bills for fuel and almost all repair costs vanish with electric motorcycles. For horsepower as well as torque electric bikes are flat out superior.
Just a tiny introduction to French really cues one in to the difference in thought processes. An American asks "How are you?" inquiring into the state of being of a person when they meet. The French ask "How are you going?" . The French greeting is more inclusive and in part reflects a historical sense to the greeting. Picture a time in which people walked a lot more than they do now. The greeting may be in response to knee, foot, hip or ankle issues or even to the mode of motion such as by car, by boat, by bicycle or whatever. Obviously no English speaking person can self evaluate their state of being making "How are you?" a question about how you feel about the moment. Further the expected reply is that you are fine. We do not normally expect a reply that "I am lousy. My feet hurt. My wife has cancer and my son has gone gay and my car is broken". In essence the English greeting is foolish and very narrow in meaning whereas the French greeting asks a more fluid and meaningful question. As far as German goes I find it a rather crude and rude language. German has a twisted grammar. "Make you please the window open." is simply not an elegant nor efficient way to ask someone to open the window.
The US has been a mixed system for many decades. The degree of success of the US corresponds to the degree that we are a socialist system. Capitalism is more like a disease that has reached its end stage and is killing off its host. It is obvious that California can do quite well with solar and wind replacing nuclear and fossil fueled power systems. I'm in Florida and we need a way to turn the sun off a bit here. We have so much intense sun light that half my town vanishes nine months a year as it is an oven here. And the disease called capitalism is all that has kept my state from going to sun and tide to supply all of our power needs. Special interest groups are blocking progress at all turns. Our wretched governor will fire state employees for using the words global warming. And this is despite the fact that a large portion of our state will soon be submerged by rising seas. The Florida Keys as well as the Everglades will be salt water lagoons soon enough. Parts of Miami beach are already in trouble. The first national shock will occur when the vastly expensive beach front properties in south Florida become ineligible for insurance due to rising seas. The financial chaos alone could be severe enough to bankrupt the nation. It will also mean that we will have no fresh water supplies for about six million Floridians unless we build a huge network of desalinization plants to obtain fresh water. It will also mean that one of the few places in America that can grow crops in the winter will no longer be used for farming.
The degree of response by our government to terrorism does not seem to be justified. We did lose some large buildings and a few aircraft but considering the size and nature of the US the 9/11 attacks were simply a very limp effort and came far from doing major damage to our nation. The three trillion dollar expense of our wars in the mid-east have surely done us more harm than the attacks. And one can only wonder about the massive expense of all the spying that is going on. I also wonder why, considering all the information police agencies have gathered why we are not seeing huge numbers of arrests for mundane criminal activities. One would think that drug dealers and drug runners would be buried under our jails already. And income tax cheats as well as those who make a living from crime should be vanishing as well. With data mining how hard can it be to find people who are living well beyond their reported income?
The problem is that for the poor a small fine may be more than a bit painful. In order to have the same effect some seriously high fines might need to be levied. For example Steve Jobs parked in handicapped spaces. I wonder if a 10 million dollar fine for a single incident would have cost him as much pain as a $100. fine does for many working people. We see the same thing when charges are filed against major companies. Microsoft has been fined as much as one half billion dollars for business violations over the years yet they still gained money by their wrongdoing. Business fines should always be far greater than the money made by breaking laws and rules.
I'm against executions however if society insists then I think the simple answer is a twelve gauge shot gun. Simply fit a doughnut gag on the prisoner after strapping him down, insert the barrel until it nears the tonsils and pull the trigger. It is fool proof and painless. It is easy to have a stand by shotgun and ammo if one gun fails which is unlikely to ever occur. When the shell goes off the base of the brain will be bl;own out the back of the head. Blood pressure will have one extreme moment. The lungs will explode as well as the major organs in the stomach from the gas pressure. Obviously this is best done out of doors to keep clean up to a minimum. No suffering or cruelty is involved. Unlike hangings which can be very slow unless the neck snaps a shotgun in your mouth is over before you ever feel it. Even an executioner with an ax or a sword sometimes has to strike several times to get the job done. Chemical executions are not reliable at all and the gas chamber involves great pain and suffering and a lot of dread for an intelligent inmate. We can also rig up the shotgun in such a way that several guards flip a switch but only one actually fires the shotgun so that no guard will ever know he was the one who terminated the inmate's life. By using my method we can send an inmate to meet his maker for about seventy five cents.
Actually the film clips may be part of official records that were discovered and revealed and that may mean that they are still public records even though they are copies posted to a public site. At the very least it is an attempt to distort potential evidence that may be used in either a civil or criminal trial. At the very least all officers should be forced including any supervisors that knew of the acts. Any pensions accrued should be withheld as well. If not criminal it is unethical enough to demand job and benefit loss.
OK so make sure there are no identifying marks on your drone and wear a mask and you just filmed someone else's drone and put it on your site. Oops there i go making sense again.
So how much study does it take to find out what uses and hazards exist with each new molecule? The complexity of doing deep studies on each new molecule is mind boggling. And what about substances created by combining these new molecules? Why do I feel like it would take a billion advanced chemists several billion years to deal with this?
There are many long time computer users who have felt that Apple products were for the less than able who wasted money on expensive software as they were on the helpless side with computers. And yes the corporations are probably even more guilty than our government of spying or contributing to spying on US citizens. As far as who will benefit from all the spying and snooping and analyzing well all of us will. We will gain and lose as well. Safety, convenience and financial opportunities may be created from data mining and analyzes. Loss of privacy and an inability to get away with crimes will punish most people a bit. Those under the table jobs and cash flows will soon be next to impossible to get away with. Even crimes like prostitution will become next to impossible as financial records are compiled and things like hotel records are traced to individuals. A car thief better have one heck of an explanation as to how he pays his rent, pays his bills, and pays for his food. A person can be held to account for every penny that passes through their hands as this technology becomes ever more present. So we all win and we all lose.
OK, so stop messing about and 3d print an entire functioning human being. The idea of clones needs to be updated. We will also need a technology that can print me in a more youthful version as I'm getting a bit too old these days.
Now all we need to do is drill a hole 170 miles deep and line it with very strong pipe and we can suck that ocean to the surface to study it and see if life exists there. The weight of the drilling rig and the pipe required as well as the supporting gear might be a teeny tiny little issue and we can surely build a rocket capable of lifting all that mass into orbit. Or we could just color this picture as too expensive to ever do much with at all.
And just where does a transaction take place? If a citizen of California goes online and buys bitcoins in Virginia where does the transaction take place? From what I can see that issue is a legal nightmare to begin with. Maybe California could rule that no business inside California is allowed to accept bitcoins but what about businesses that have branches in several states? I don't see this working out well without creating all kinds of agencies and laws to enforce such nonsense.
Man's laws and rules often battle nature no matter what we try to do. Humans have a concept of supply and demand. If demand for coal drops there will be an excess of supply which means coal should become cheaper and that might lead to more use of coal. Obviously solar, wind and tide are the best answers available but by creating concepts and systems like capitalism we may have doomed ourselves. Society has a love - hate relationship with change and reason and logic have little to do with any of it.
Dogma infests just about everything. Canada has a notion that it is best not to have a bunch of sick people walking about without medical care. The US seems to fight like crazy to insure that a portion of the public remains sick, disabled or even contagious by restricting health care or quality of health care. Meanwhile vice rules as in the US powerful groups bribe congress to avoid single payer health care which is the best answer to the problem. My God! What will we do if the poor get as good health care as the wealthy? Oh, imagine the horror of that!
Firearm deaths are rare in most places and I do not include suicide in my conclusions. But we do have places in which there are waves of violent outbreaks among young men. In those situations we do need to be able to throw a blanket over an area and restrict just about all normal activity until the causes of the violence are dealt with. There are a couple of tiny agricultural towns near me that really are almost war zones at times with unemployed youth murdering each other daily.
If it were today she would have been wrong but at the time she used her server it was within the laws of the land. Further government emails were hacked and made available to the public whereas her emails were not during that time period. What we have here is another instance of the right wing trying to confuse issues and keep the public from looking at real issues.
Here is an example : We could easily pass laws that required a cop to walk through nursing homes on his patrol route and make note of odors or conditions warranting an inspection. By doing so we would save thousands of seniors from neglect and abuse. Yet instead of passing laws to actually do some good and protect people the right wing distracts us from doing what needs to be done. Or we could have church groups send in volunteers to walk through nursing homes daily and quickly note if meals look decent and that the rooms are clean and the patients reasonably cared for. Yet nursing hope operators will hide behind privacy laws and private property laws to prevent exposure of what the nursing homes are really like. But congress will never take on such issues as they are too busy trying to acquire re-election and political power and donations from people like nursing home owners.
I think it is most effective when the company selling the product does not have a clue that it exists. Government agents could easily pose as programmers and work into sensitive positions within companies. A company could spot most alterations of a product already issued if the number of bits of code increased in any portion of the program.
Would anyone place bets that some operating systems also have government spyware built in? Open source makes it less likely but sealed code such as in Windows products very likely does have built in spy ware. And I would bet that some encryption and compression programs are fishy as well.
Mrs. Clinton broke no laws at all. The laws requiring saving of emails by officials were passed after Mr. Clinton left office. Like all the other trashing this latest smear attempt is a wretched tactic by immoral right wing nuts to try to gain power.
Bill Clinton may be the finest president in American history. If he could have stayed in office our national debt would be history, our economy would be robust and we could afford to fix most of what ails our nation. And that is really saying something after Reagan and Bush Sr. had America on its knees due to absurd economic theories that never had a chance of working. And then the right wingtards put another Bush in office who almost ended our nation and collapsed the economy of the entire world.
South Florida is at dire risk. We already have rising sea issues that are substantial and actually could effect the nation wide food supply as we are about the only spot in the US that can raise crops in winter. But we have an even more pressing problem. Diseases from tropical islands near Florida are becoming more common. In addition to malaria we now have two more mosquito born illnesses that are causing little outbreaks here and there. Just about any disease that flourishes in South America can now take hold here and they have many tragic illnesses down there that we do not normally see within the US. These diseases can generate quite an expense for society in general. We even have instances of pest invasions such as white fly that were caused by hurricanes blowing white flies all the way from the islands into Florida. White fly destroys trees and is very expensive to treat and keep your property livable. Citrus greening is already killing the citrus industry here. We are having invasions caused by global warming already.
