    When it comes to climate change, both liberals and conservatives are equally clueless. Conservatives don't think it exists (or choose to ignore it).

    You can only hear THE SKY IS FALLING!! so many times before calling BS. In 90s liberals said New York and LA would be underwater by 2015. It didn’t happen.

  11. stopping crime or police corruption? on Some Baltimore Residents Are Lobbying To Bring Back Aerial Surveillance (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    This article is all over the place, starts with trying to stop crime but ends up claiming crime isn't the problem, it's police corruption, so is this to stop crimes or stopping police corruption? Because there's simpler ways to stop police corruption.

    Piloted plane? Is this 2003? A team of automated drones doing wide circles would be much cheaper than even one piloted plane and provide better footage in real time 24/7. Cost of a plane with maintenance, fuel, paid pilot, etc would cost a fortune in comparison.

    And what about cameras? Why drones? Yes a drone could cover a wider area than a camera could, but they're also susceptible to weather, higher failure rate, battery replacement, etc. A few cameras with microphones could even triangulate the location of where shots were fired. Drones don't pick up sound so they could not do that. And with 1080p wifi cameras selling for as low as $25 now days you could have dozens of cameras for the price of a decent drone so really drones are too expensive too if the goal is to capture video over a wide area.

    And we see shootings in front of cameras all the time, I don't know if cameras actually reduce time or just increase arrest rates.

    I like the idea of decreasing crime, I just don't think these people know how to go about it since they're suggesting something as silly as a piloted plane with a camera attached when there are much better alternatives.

  13. You hang around with dogs and you get fleas, " I have met my fair share of welfare recipients, and none of them were honest", did you meet a lot because you shared one thing in common, starts with a 'H' and a lack there off.

    Maybe I worked in a welfare office? Maybe I ran for a public office? Maybe I owned apartments? You know what they say about people that assume things, right?

  14. But welfare fraud hurts not only taxpayers but the fraudster, because they could be a contributing member of society, and they usually have children who they teach how to commit welfare fraud.

    Well, if you can use $100 to prevent $500 worth of welfare fraud or use it to prevent $50000 of tax fraud, what should you do?

    Of course, you should use $200 to prevent the welfare fraud. Because nothing is worse than some one poor getting something that they don't deserve and you know for certain that you will become a millionaire in just a few years and then you can profit from the tax fraud yourself. So a complete no-brainer, that one.

    Obviously welfare fraud, because they're hurting themselves and children. If someone has $50,000 in tax fraud, meaning they should have paid $50,000 more in taxes that they didn't, they must be a contributing member of society to have so much that they did not pay to govt.

  15. Neighborhood Electric Vehicle? on Return of the Bubble Car? (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Where does it say Neighborhood Electric Vehicle? A Neighborhood Electric Vehicle is basically a golf cart, capable of up to 25mph. Article says up to 90km/h (55mph) and 90km (75 mile) range so I don't know where this "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle" suggestion in the description came from.

    12,000 euros is only $13,700 which is a great price point, $10,000 less than the next cheapest electric car, the smart fortwo ED, but I really think it needs at least a 70mph top speed so it can attempt to drive safely on US highways. Even if the range decreases some, the greatly increased usability is worth it.

    Also, after seeing that the smart fortwo ED has a 80hp electric motor, are they sure that 20hp electric motor they're planning on using can reach 55mph? They look roughly the same size and that's 1/4th the power, 55mph might be optimistic, or it might take a very long time to reach 55.

    And maybe $13,700 isn't that great, considering you can get a 4 door Fiesta for the same price, but it's nice seeing EVs drop to the prices of the cheapest ICE vehicles even if they aren't quite as practical.

  16. Re:welfare fraud rates on California Officials Admit To Using License Plate Readers To Monitor Welfare Recipients (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    The pensions are still there and still growing, they’re just a few dollars short of what they could be. But welfare fraud hurts not only taxpayers but the fraudster, because they could be a contributing member of society, and they usually have children who they teach how to commit welfare fraud. I have met my fair share of welfare recipients, and none of them were honest. Some purposely didn’t work or get married to baby daddies continue to receive benefits, others sold their welfare benefits. I was in a college economics class when one girl told the class one way to save money is to buy food stamps at half price. Half the class agreed and other have just looked around with a surprised look.

    Trust CNN to run a "conversation" article about supply and demand devoid of actual economics.

    Soon as I saw it was from CNN I rolled my eyes. The article starts out with thousands of well paying jobs available, then by the end they sound like fast food workers with 100K in school loans. Complete waste of time to read this. Drones will replace pilots anyway, if a car can drive itself then a plane can too, actually it's easier to make a self flying plane then a self driving car because cars have a lot more obstacles to watch out for on the ground than planes do and planes are all tracked while cars go everywhere. I'm surprised pilots haven't been replaced already.

I can't buy from anywhere else, I can't even jailbreak because if I do I'm ban from using the console online. When does that lawsuit start? Besides, people are already free to jailbreak iPhones and download any app they want, no one is forcing them to download from Apple, that's just the default.
