Well, I'd suggest a better system. It's still two tiered access (MANDATORY to reduce abuse), but a little more flexible. This is obviously a spit-ball solution with lots unverifiable of gaps.
A: Regular access. The request is sent to dispatch with a request for information and a small snippet of information of why the request is prescient now. If used through a device (license plate scanner?), the brief summary of the owner and 'risk factor' can be returned without any second tier access. If more information is necessary, a person (higher ranked officer, etc..?) then verifies the request and accepts the request. All of this is logged for audit in perpetuity.
B: Urgent access. Flag the request as immediate and emergency request for information. Once the emergency is resolved, the officer is then required to fill in a much more thorough document which requires several auditors to verify that the urgent access was merited and that it was used effectively. If used improperly, the officer could be censured/fired per department policy.
I have no idea why you're so angry your grandmother was a prostitute, and even less for someone informing you on your own family history. Wallow in angry or shed the stigma. Maybe prostitution was the only viable way to get by then. Who knows. Why not get learn more about why your family had a mixed past instead of being ashamed of them.
Pretty much every original protestant was a sinner against god and land for moral / religious grounds back in the day and now they're largely respected for their stand on what they saw was a corrupt institution. Maybe in 100 years, prostitution will be so well regulated that it'll be without sin/stigma as well. Time will tell.
"People consider it a time-waster and a site needing to be blocked in some instances."
I've worked in a few companies that have outright blocked the service. I don't see this catching on outside of some boutique shops that focus on social media... eh who knows.
If gas gets too expensive, people in your town will demand either telecommunting and better non-personal travel options. If the economics of personal car driving becomes untenable, then people should start car-pooling (why aren't you?). Further, expand car pools into even cheaper daily bus routes. Further, enough bus services and all of a sudden new rail lines become another viable option. And all that's strictly driven through commerce and economics. Imagine government conflation causing this to happen faster (or at least with fewer natural leaps).
Or, you know - blame ISP's for not shutting down DDOS nodes. I assume the biggest problem is that we don't have a DDOS early-warning system for flagging and cutting abusers from the upstream pro-actively.
Sure, if the parent was knowingly (or at least with reasonable assumption) aware that a brand of diapers was causing harm, you most certainly can sue. If I was neglected or mistreated as a child, be it a parent, guardian, orphanage, etc.. I'd be in good standing to sue. As parent, you're talking the life and care of the child in your hands (if you don't like it, put them up for adoption). If you don't like big brother telling you how to raise your kids, move somewhere that doesn't care what the fuck you do to kids.
Are you kidding? A single death will be heralded as the end of the world. All too many journalists play on people's inherent fears. "10 drunks killed themselves last month" has zero resonance because we know humans, we know drunks, we know they do stupid things when they're drunk. We've heard it happening from the day we're born till the day we die. Case closed. But a robotic car? I mean, what's a robotic car all about? How does it work? Will it just randomly run off the road or into other vehicles? Should I trust it to drive without killing me? So many pain points to poke. Give it a couple decades before the knee-jerk fear is assuaged not by facts, but by familiarity.
Crime stats much lower than a couple decades ago, but turn on your TV and see the FUD that keep suburban housewives up at night and her husband's hand on that rifle...
If and when this happens, they'll just have a new subsidiary called UberCars who's primary job is to lease cars with door to door car removal. Then Uber (the defacto taxi service) will use that company for their dispatch needs instead of independents to reduce costs. Its pretty dicey to assume independents could survive against a lean mean equivalent service running in massive scale.
How does that help consumers? Do you really see HP/Samsung releasing twice the number of printers they individually do now, or will they simply gut Samsung brand as a play to buy them out of the market? My money is heavily in the second outcome.
My Samsung laser has both PS and PCL... network card, duplex, etc etc.. and was miles ahead in price. Secondly, they weren't COMPLETE BASTARDS for DRM locking their toner carts.
For an acquisition this big, I would've expect ten's of thousands gone, so keeping it so low is actually surprising. I can only posit this being round one.
Socialism! Or at least a stronger version of it than you're used to. The first question when I go to a doctor is 'How can I help you' not, 'Lemmie see your insurance card'.
Cord cut years ago and it's so much better to live in a world where commercials are a novel occurrence (like watching TV in bars/family homes). I spend much of the difference on media (Bluray, yes I still buy dead-dinosaur-discs) and streaming services.
Take away a GI's right to go to school after service. That's a great political move.. The reason ITT and co. were specifically targeted was because they were playing games with their employment numbers. That assumes that the enrollee's even completed their programs, which should be a condition for that individual's education.
Basically it comes down to people making bad decisions with their education choices and having someone else (the gov) paying for their mistakes. If you're giving someone free money, make sure that they're using it wisely (nanny state and all that), turn off the tap (most poor people will stay poor forever), or some narrow middle-ground that doesn't insult the left or the right too much (current-ish system).
I don't believe criminal trespass on IT systems will ever be considered legal. Otherwise, what stops the police/NSA from legally hacking everyone's computers, reading everything, finding illegal content then prosecuting after the fact? Oh right, that's still technically illegal, even for them, even in your tin foil hat brandishing lunacy. So can you please just drop your rhetoric?
Wikileaks is a dissemination of information that generally is against government, powerful people and large company’s' best interests. That hasn't changed since it started. If whistle blowing was actually a right the US wanted to honour and respect, the site wouldn't be necessary.
Secondly, if you forget into the distant past in the last gasps of the Bush administration, the entire site was the biggest boogie-man in journalism and certainly in government agenda. I don't know why you can't remember that.
Urban decay is all but a guarantee eventually without business/economic diversity. Cities no longer exist that where one-trick ponies who's industries collapsed. Being close to another town with different industries may save you from complete collapse, but it'd still hurt hard turning you into a bedroom community. Do you realize just how well you evangelize for the wrong side of the argument?
Unless of course you're under the delusion that somehow IT/software development is the inevitable apex of human accomplishment which will never collapse from their amazingly large growth/revenues?
Businesses/Industry/Residences are taxed differently, so there's always that note. There's always city/state/national facilities like plumbing, roads, telecoms, safety inspectors, firemen, etc.. all who have to be paid out largely from the taxes represented by there properties. Flip side, if you were in an apartment and the unit beside you was used to make commercial porn (and all the fun that could bleed out from that), wouldn't you like the lever to shut it down if they got too loud, lavish, bad actors in the building, etc.. as a result of it? Its very similar to AirBnB and unit sharing (especially when specifically banned by strata requirements) which is currently getting a ton of scrutiny in many cities.

But but, higher gas prices CAUSES your outcomes.

Thank god! (and I'm not even religious!)
But why is Slashdot getting articles about rumors? There's nothing yet officially disclosed...
Or, you know - blame ISP's for not shutting down DDOS nodes. I assume the biggest problem is that we don't have a DDOS early-warning system for flagging and cutting abusers from the upstream pro-actively.
Or you know, the obvious solution of actively enforcing anti-corruption laws and all those 'small details'.

Well, as with all things (especially in America), if you want your cake and eat it too, you're going to pay a lot more for the right.
If and when this happens, they'll just have a new subsidiary called UberCars who's primary job is to lease cars with door to door car removal. Then Uber (the defacto taxi service) will use that company for their dispatch needs instead of independents to reduce costs.

They can legally (or illegally) get it anyway. You either live on grid or off. Trying to achieve one-foot-in-one-foot-out is an exercise in futility.

No, like all good internet companies, they'll flagrantly break local laws from outside their borders with no repercussions.
For an acquisition this big, I would've expect ten's of thousands gone, so keeping it so low is actually surprising. I can only posit this being round one.

You're comment was just sad and ridiculous enough to have the hint of reality. I enjoyed that, so thanks for warming my morning.
