I think the closest is going to be the Volley Gun I would guess a Nock gun firing 17 barrels at once would be close to automatic, but useless anywhere but on a ship. 90 years later before the first Gatling gun, so probably not something the founders would very easily imagine.
Obviously, would require no drivers license, passport, no voter ID card... one of those would make the social media posts meaningless after handing over a HQ photo and SSN.
> The fact that the Uber car didn't respond to a major obstacle in front of it seems like there wasn't a lot of testing of any form done.
Just shows a lack of regression testing. I guarantee it stopped for people walking in front of it before placing the car into street testing. They changed object identification, almost certainly without repeating those tests. This is why you want simulated testing, when you change any software, you can re-run hundreds of hours of tests in minutes, without wasting any fuel or having tons of hardware. You then run a few important scenarios on real hardware before pushing out to the real world.
Uber clearly missed regression testing that with the death. Tesla clearly missed the real hardware regression testing when their software changes added 20 feet to their stopping distance.
Problem with the floor value, is that Bitcoin (and derivatives) are susceptible to 51% mining attacks. If you have bitcoin, and can double the processing (or take over some of it) current to bitcoin, you can double or tripple spend their coins. So if mining drops significantly, Bitcoin cannot then be trusted for any high value transaction that has any anonymity to it, unless some regulatory and authority comes into bitcoin.
If bitcoin ever drops from being the top coin, it's value quickly goes to 0. If you can build and sustain a profitable network mining the other coins, then anytime you want to steel some bitcoin switch all of the machines over for a few hours and clean out an exchanges, repeat later.
Only if Bitcoin is regulated could it survive then.
I don't see a problem with the act, but the how is clearly suspect. This is not the type of thing the president should be involved in, especially one who's adviser and daughter just got preferential treatment, and lawyer just took a bunch of money from China, and who's family business just got millions of investment from a Chinese government run business.
When it is out of character (Publicly trump as been very anti china not enforcing sanctions. Very anti Chinese business.) and does a sudden 180 turn. Decides to intervene in something he should not, and while receiving business favors at the same time. And then you see the false propaganda start from his usual sources, it all adds up to the biggest growth of the government Swamp ever.
ZTE illegally sold US-made goods in Iran and North Korea, making hundreds of millions from Iran alone. ZTE then promised to punish 7 people caught directly violating these US laws, instead it gave them bonuses.
The espionage claims resulted in US government employees being prevented from using their phones, and is completely separate from these actions.
You say that like the government in the US is a single entity. I know the local DA where I lived on average had less than a hour, to prosecute.
This made it very difficult on things like Drunk Driving, spousal abuse... Anyone who could spend $1000 on a defense was virtually guaranteed no, or at worst a plea with little punishment (other than the money spent.) Also makes it very difficult on the victims to get any relief if they didn't have the same resources as the charged, as they would then be limited (by resources) to the evidence presented by the prosecution.
So this plan would kill smaller courts, as the tables turn for the wealthy, as they would face no punishment (not even $$$ to respond ) and give incentive for the court to not pursue any case against them, as the financial burden would be too great to the court.
But I do agree similar resources should be made available to defendants. Currently the less educated and poorer people are easily walked on, as judges really suck in most places. It should be their job to insure a fair trial. But often they have incentive to make sure sufficient money is collected to be comfortable at work. And to take care of officers and the DA, as those are the people they repeatedly deal with at work and outside work, not the defendants.
In the US, your silence can be used against when under oath, sometimes, but not usually otherwise. IE if you take the witness stand, you cannot just answer the defenses questions, once you answer questions about an event, generally you have to answer all questions about that event, or your silence can be used to weigh your other testimony. But since testimony given to a police... is not "on the record" and it cannot be brought up in your defense, you can go silent at anytime. I think because the prosecution can choose to drop all of it at anytime, they don't have to have a way to counter claims you made then.
> Trump era most are not going to families, and the families do not know where their kids are.
I was incorrect on this, they are still required to try and place the kids with families, I have nothing to show the lost kids are not being placed with families today..
TLDR Under Obama, it was mostly that the families knew where the kids were (with family, false information on location given to the government,) not the government. Under Trump, the families do not know where the kids are as Sessions like it that way.
A judicial ruling in 2015 caused the issue during Obama's presidency. He tried to get a bill passed, that republicans refused to vote on, then in 2016 passed an executive order to reduce the numbers. Trump and Sessions decided separating families was a good punishment, so undid the Obama era fixes, and the numbers are going back up instead of way down.
Under Obama, they tried to place the kids with families, and as those were also mostly undocumented, they lied about things like names and location to protect the kids. Trump era most are not going to families, and the families do not know where their kids are.
> military grade flamethrower he'd definitely have a point, but it really isn't.
He has a valid point, but poor execution (assuming California is still prone to wild fires.) His point was that these were clearly marketed to upper-middle class office workers, not to those with a practical use for them. Pumping thousands of these gadgets into a fire prone area to people with no reason to own, other than cool! Trying to make them illegal was a poor reaction, to a valid concern. Elon apparently supporting irresponsible use as a "fun" office item, was worth a P.R. response, not a legal ban. Perhaps location specific restriction, not sure.
The NRA used to support responsible gun ownership, and I am sure occasionally it is still taught in some NRA settings, but it is far from a priority today.
They went to the Supreme court to stop a national law to prevent the mentally ill from being reported to a national registry to prevent them from buying guns.
They prevented laws that would stop bump stocks from being sold.
They spent 8 years convincing people that Obama wanted to take away guns and ammo, despite the only gun law changes proposed or passed by Obama were to allow carry in national parks and on Amtrak. This hurt gun owners, as people stocked up on ammo making it very difficult for sports shooters to purchase.
They primarily are now a political organization, they raise money for republicans, they promote only republicans to their members. They help set the republican agenda to align with the gun manufactures, in return for exclusively supporting republicans to their members. It doesn't matter that 90%+ of democratic lawmakers have the same goals for gun law changes as the majority of gun owners, safety related changes, and better background checks. The NRA doesn't care because they are a Republican organization.
> Those people who want higher and higher minimum wages are supporting barriers to entry into job market.
Is not a barrier to entry. While it does reduce the number of low paying jobs, that effect at current federal levels is minor. The last study of states that have minimum wages over the federal levels concluded a 10% increase in minimum wage, caused a 1% decrease in employment in low level jobs. It also creates a greater incentive towards productivity increases, through things like automation and training.
This is especially important to the government, as the government supports those who cannot support themselves, as long as the % decrease in employment, is less than the % increase in wages, it saves the government more money to increase it's payments to the 1% losing their jobs, and remove payments to the other 9% who no longer need support due to having a higher wage.
Becuase you have no evidence, other than what you want to believe. You got the 3 most qualified people in the WORLD to investigate this, who did investigate it. You got the director of the FBI at the time who said they got everything they requested, you got a FBI, CIA, NSA, senate who says the Russians did this. You got a special prosecutor who has indicted 20 people and Guilty pleas by 4 high level campaign guilty pleas related to Russia, and a ongoing investigation still. But OMG I got a letter from someone not involved that we ddn't maintain a chain of evidence, and a Russian born citizen of the US, and a tweet with no source from the guy being investigated. So your conclusion is "wasn't investigated AT ALL" ???
If you can read the bio of Alperovitch, CrowdStrike, and of Shawn Henry who were paid $60k to investigate this server, and your only take away is that Alperovitch was a Russian plant, their is just no helping someone so lacking in intelligence and so biased to even warrant any more facts. Seriously, try and find 3 better people in the whole world to better investigate this. SAD!!! Seriously, google some history on them, and you want to claim Alperovitch is a Russian plant???? Their is just no way to overcome this level of stupid.
This is the guy the DNC hired for their server and worked with Comey. Everything else you posted about is just using your own "alternate Facts" to invent another conspiracy.
The same rules for probable cause, and warrant still apply to the boarder patrol in this area, this zone is simply an area they are allowed to operate. Not allowed to pull over cars without cause, but are allowed checkpoints that force everyone to stop briefly, similar to a police DUI checkpoint.
> So I really doubt that using publicly available information
No, this isn't publicly available information. Exactly the opposite, it is privately held information, taken from the public.
> It's simple agency. If something is illegal for me to do, it is also illegal for me to hire someone to do the same thing for me.
Sometimes. Things like the 1st and 5th amendments of the constitution covers actions of the government. So you may be correct on whether the government can pay someone instead. But since it is legal for a private company to collect the plates and locations of every vehicle in the US. It is also legal for them to do data mining on that data, and it is also legal for them to report suspicious behavior to the police. It is probably not legal for ICE to do those same actions. But it does seam to be legal to offer rewards, and compensation to companies for helping law enforcement.
So I definitely like that the ACLU is taking a look to see if that line is being crossed. And if ICE is using a technicality to skirt the law, hopefully that loophole is closed.
Also many things require licenses, IE places where it may be illegal for me to carry a handgun for protection, I can hire a off duty officer to do it for me.
Your correct at the extreme. This is more about following a better speed profile, and seeing what cannot be seen. IE if I am in a line of vehicles I cannot see around the vehicle (Truck, SUV...) in front has to slam on the brakes, every car behind has to hit there brakes harder, due to the need for a reaction time (see the car in front of me stopping, process, do the same.) If V2V tells me a car I cannot see 900' ahead is stopping hard with 6 cars in front of mine, my car can avoid waiting 3 seconds to react, then doing a full ABS stop, and with those extra 3 seconds, I can do a much easier stop.
Similar V2V is supposed to eventually be connected to traffic lights. So the car may know I can turn and avoid a light, or slow 5 mph and avoid stopping.
> buggy non-updated firmware, and outright malicious actors.
You probably shouldn't drive faster due to V2V, mostly know when to slow earlier. So yeah if no way to remove a bunch of bad actors, then it will become ignored and useless. If not more information is available to have a smoother drive.
I know on the autonomous project I worked on, we can optimize paths for trusted vehicles and would assume the worst for those that were detected, but not communicating. So if it only means that a Uber car trusts and listens to other Uber cars, it will likely still be very useful for autonomous cars from the same manufacture, to be able to know of hazards the other vehicle saw.
Biggest was supposed to be for smart traffic lights, Currently big citys have to do some hacks, like turn all East/West lights all green at the same time at high traffic times, to make sure cars can move. At other times they try and time them so cars don't have to all stop... With sufficient V2V deployment it should be able to optimize the lights for actual car locations, not just for typical car densities. And also be able to warn about things like closures, dust storms, accidents...
I get you want a conspiracy, so your trying to invent one. That article is not written about your post, it was about another false claim by the POTUS attacking Podesta, that is why Podesta is important, because the president falsely attacked him.
There are plenty of articles, and direct statements by Comey, that those Images were analyzed by the FBI, and did suffice. The DNC did contact FBI directly about the hacked server, and it was just another hack, until a year later the emails were used to attack our democracy. > why doesn't the Obama CIA care about Russians hacking the DNC? I There was no way for the DNC to know it was Russia when they were hacked, and the CIA is not involved in domestic crimes. Until Russia released the emails to attack our democracy, their was no reason for the CIA to be involved.
> why not put one in Hillary's campaign as "protection"
Umm, did you read that article? The DNC hired Cloudstrike, and thus the #3 guy in the FBI to directly investigate this interference, so it sounds exactly like what happened on the RNC side. People inside the DNC reported to the FBI concerns, and the FBI investigated. People inside the RNC reported concerns over Russia interference to the FBI, the FBI investigated. The only difference is the idiots in chief wants to claim to be the victim as cover, so makes up a fake story, any smart people on the right pretend to be outraged so the dumb ones will believe it. Which one are you?

Or a few more states pass the popular vote compact
Most right to repair laws state OEM's must be able to supply the same tools, information, schematics, parts... to 3rd parties as to their dealers.
Now, how many Tesla dealers are their again?
If Tesla goes bankrupt, how much value will these cars have, without any authorized repairs, updates, new parts, or warranty providers?
Russia did a active transmitter with no internal power device in 1945 also disguised as a gift. So it is possible.

Supreme Court has upheld the use of immigration checkpoints, but only insofar as the stops consist only of a brief and limited inquiry into residence status.
