The policy of boarder search exemptions to the 4th amendment goes back to 1953 when the Justice Department implemented it. The Supreme Court has repeatedly allowed for this. And since SCOTUS gets to decide what is and isn't "Constitutional", this lawsuit isn't going anywhere.
But hey, as long as the killer hurricanes are predominately hitting those states where the hardcore deniers are sitting in... Let Darwin take care of the problem
Comparing lives lost and damage done is a fools errand. Populations increase, as does the value of property available to be damaged. The ability to measure them has also changed. Not to mention, storms just don't track the same.
I'm guessing that you meant the 1926 storm... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... It was estimated to have done $195.5B in 2016 dollars damage. Certainly current construction techniques would have improved that. But clearly, we've got a long way to go...just look at the cranes that were supposed to be able to withstand Cat 4, and 3 of them fell with sub-100mph winds. And now, the vast increase in structures means there's just that much more available to be damaged.
So what happens when a cop grabs your phone, and wants in? Does he get to just hold it up to your face to unlock it? If so, this seems like a serious flaw.
Um, NOAA also says this, so let's not jump to conclusions just because it fits our agenda or preconceived notions:
It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity. That said, human activities may have already caused changes that are not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of the changes or observational limitations, or are not yet confidently modeled (e.g., aerosol effects on regional climate).
Most of them don't stay stationary picking up additional energy/water from the Gulf due to other pressure centers, which has zip to do with climate change.
The trouble is that when best-guess efforts turn out to be wrong, there seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to leap to the conclusion that all of climate science and measures of climate change must be wrong.
I don't disagree, but let's not pretend that when a storm like Harvey pops up, there isn't a knee-jerk reaction in the other direction.
Here's NOAA's statement on the topic...

We used to call this being "immature", but some people felt offended. So, now we come up with other crap names like internet addiction and tech induced attention disorder. Horseshit, they just need to grow up and take some fucking responsibility for their own actions.
Mainframes aren't a fad. They've existed since the dawn of the computing industry. Just because they're sometimes called clouds doesn't change anything about what they actually are.
It changes things because the morons being marketed to don't understand the risks that they're taking when they outsource their private internal data.
You clearly don't understand kickstarter, and what the (completely legal) risks you take by putting up your money. Unless the company was clearly fraudulent, you have no grounds for complaining.
What incentive would they have to work there at all if they had UBI? Even if it was just for the extra money, wouldn't they be risking working for nothing when they could go elsewhere and remove that risk?
Investing has a range of risks, which is why people talk about risk v. reward. Typically, higher rewards go along with higher risk that you'll lose your investment, You need to assess your own risk tolerance (how much can you afford to lose, is the timing right, etc.), Don't put your kids college funds into a start up if you're not willing to say, sorry but you're on your own. Plunking cash into the S&P500 has been a long term winner (the majority of "experts" don't beat it over time, and they'll charge you a fee for their advice), but there have been long stretches of downturn as well. Dollar-Cost Averaging (look it up) can keep you from losing out to those downturns. Proper investing takes discipline.

One word for you: Asshole
Why do people continue to point to peer review as if it's functional. It's not, and there are plenty of articles pointing to the problems with it.
I'm all for science, but peer review is broken. This is one of many articles on the problem if you care to google.

Um, no.

If that were true, you have hurricanes all over Iran, Iraq, etc. I'll convert to whoever has the weather machine since I'm a fair weather fan.
Coal does not contain hydrogen ... ...
You should have figured that by now
Seriously? You couldn't be bothered to at least look it up before making such a stupid statement?
Jokes are funny, so you're wrong. You old farts can get a room in a log cabin.
If you didn't find it funny, it's an indication that you've got an axe to grind. Get over yourself, take the chip off your shoulder, and enjoy life.

And yet NOAA says that it's premature to make any claims about hurricane increases in numbers/intensity. Google it.
The highest recorded speeds have been just over 300mph.

Funny, I spent about 8 months at the Keesler "triangle" back in '77. There were still damaged structures around the area.
And yes, I have never wanted to return to that shithole.
