.. 99%+ will not care...For the record, I'm against this move, and would likely stick electrical tape over any camera.
part of the 99%?
Unfortunately, no. But in all of the discussions I have with people regarding privacy, few outside of Slashdot seem to care. Maybe I'm working from a bad data set, but can you think of any examples where people raised enough stink about privacy to actually get changes enacted? I'm all for fighting the good fight, but I won't don't believe in swimming against the tide.
Do you really think they give a shit, when 99%+ will not care, and the overall impact still is in their favor? Or, when all of the other rental companies pile on, and you have no other options, will you boycott them all?

Years ago, in Basic Training, had a guy tell me...
Ditto. We had a guy from "Baaston", who was talking about throwing a "potty" at the end of basic. It took us a few seconds to realize he didn't mean throw a toilet.
So, we're supposed to get excited because it has water? It has virtually no atmosphere. And from Wikipedia, the temperature never gets above 152K (that's -186F). Which of those two factors is going to allow for the evolution of any life form?
Still sounds like it would be at odds with: The “Dormant” Commerce Clause ultimately means that because Congress has been given power over interstate commerce, states cannot discriminate against interstate commerce nor can they unduly burden interstate commerce, even in the absence of federal legislation regulating the activity.
Any state law which affects interstate commerce must be:
(1) rationally related to a legitimate state concern and
(2) the burden on interstate commerce must be outweighed by the benefit to the state’s interests.
Are you implying that the use of Bitcoin isn't commerce? If it is, it clearly falls under the purview of the federal govt. and interstate commerce rules.
Yes, you're technically correct. However, language usage will cause this to change, just like it changed "hacker", and "drone". You're welcome to continue the good find, and beat your head against the pavement though.
That this came from Computerworld doesn't excuse the fact that the "research" came directly from GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). Not exactly an unbiased source of information. Both Computerworld and Slashdot have failed to do any validation of the data presented.
Years ago, I attempted to use a tripod at the Lincoln Memorial. Having just taken photos on the lawn outside, I had the small pointy metal extensions out, and had forgotten about them. The Park Service told me to get lost, and in retrospect, I don't blame them since the metal spikes could scrape the stone floors.
People walking around with sticks and flashing cameras has no impact, right. Other than the bright flashes in a typically dark museum, and having to take a wide berth around people carrying long sticks, I'm sure nobody's been hit by one, and not art has been damaged. Right.
Ditto. We were just about the first ones in the building that day, and headed straight for the Mona Lisa. Flash photography was most definitely allowed.
As someone who hasn't used an ATM in twenty years, I go to banks maybe a couple times a year. It's rare because I hardly ever use cash, so it's those few times when someone writes me a check, or want some extra cash while on travel.
This would be the "penny wise, pound foolish" option. Even if that figure was accurate, which it's not even close, doing so would cause a wave of additional immigrants looking for that handout. Oh, and while we're at it, why not just pay everyone who's unemployed, and already in the U.S. that minimum wage?
You can "be sure", but you'd be incorrect. This isn't a classified program, and the people working on it don't have to hide what they do at all. There are too many individuals working it, and if you were correct that tidbit would quickly leak out. Just like with so many other conspiracy theories, when more than a handful of people are involved, everything inevitably comes to light.

Then he's leaving a lot of money on the table. The theory is an infinite number of monkeys, not 1000.
Thanks Pharrell.

You're dreaming if you believe anyone utility is going to "quietly" build a nuclear plant...certainly it won't happen in the U.S.
How on earth are firearm deaths underreported? I'm gonna call BS.
Yes, you can read the news, which isn't a good statistical reference since it's mainly about capturing eyeballs, and selling ads.
Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, even though he was responding to one that mentioned museums, and the whole article is about that.
I just attach the camera to my dick. But I need a looooong lens.
Instead of just compensating, you might get the macro zoom out to find it.

As much as I'm sure this happens, I'm highly doubtful that you were literally hit in the face multiple times. And, FWIW, I'm in favor of the ban.

GTFO my lawn with your selfie stick punk.

I was there in '12, and photography was not prohibited, and that includes flash.
Does anyone ever go to a bank?

Such a bullshit argument. People who believe this are speaking out of their assholes.
