    What if it is on you driveway? Does someone have the right to take pictures of your house and car? I think not. Photo journalists often have to ask for permission. If you take a picture of your car and house then copy right any images or writing of any sort you should be able to legally stop it. Post a copyright sign on your front lawn.

    A very bad analogy n the first place. Throw it away. It is more like a privileged person, according to the courts, who are extorting services from another group to subsidize them, or else. They want us to take care of them, for free. In hopes they pay us back, they promise. But they never seem to. Hence a parasitic taking money and preventing adequate funding of services and diversification of the local economy. They are actually stealing our future, hence parasites.

    That's what tax policy is about. Finding that middle ground. We have to keep them in line. It is OUR responsibility.

    Have been a programmer and QA, I have little confidence in developer. This is a sign of:
    1) sloppy programming.
    2) no code reviews.
    3) Crappy test coverage. The application should make provision for changing passwords. *No one* tried changing the pass word?
    4) Bad QA. Or non-existent
    5) Finally it springs from bad management.

    research does not verify conclusions. If at the end you come to a different conclusion than what you though was going to happen, you win.

    The reason we do research, real research not the "I researched on Stacker Flow and copied some code", is that we do not know so we go and look.

    If you you know how long it will take, how much it will cost, and what the results will be it isn't research.

    Are you using all the sensors in the list?

    "Each drone carries at least $100,000 of electronics, batteries, and related gear," reports Businessweek. "Devices near the tip of the sail measure wind speed and direction, sunlight, air temperature and pressure, and humidity. Across the top of the drone's body, other electronics track wave height and period, carbon dioxide levels, and the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. Underwater, sensors monitor currents, dissolved oxygen levels, and water temperature, acidity, and salinity. Sonars and other acoustic instruments try to identify animal life."

    Having worked with field sensors and met towers on land they can be pricey.

    No, you are assuming that housing is a commodity which behaves like a Free Market good. It isn't. If people, banks, holding companies etc. are not getting the price they on they often just take the house off of the market for a year or two and wait for the market to recover. There is no tight supply and demand linkage.

    You got the analogy wrong. Amazon is the abusive one spending all the money, refusing to hand over money for needed public services such as streets, mass transit, fire protection, schools, and assorted other services needed in a modern society which Amazon benefits from. Amazon has the money, but dumps the costs of the services it uses onto those who can't afford it. Amazon is a parasitic freeloader.
