    I'm not sure the 'public interest' is the threshold. The words used, purposely, were 'public importance'. Whether that's higher or lower than 'public interest' would probably require a supreme court case.

    However, given that Sony was trying to block/stop Google from being Google, I'd say either bar was easily reached.

    There needs to be a middle ground.

    There does fucking not need to be a middle ground for cops illegally abusing their powers. NOR for those protecting illegal cop behavior.

    Go straight to hell with that attitude.

    Cops have a very hard job - I would never want or be able to do it - but that does not EVER absolve them from illegal behavior.

    Yes, cops doing illegal activities is only for 'social justice warriors'.

    You're fully correct that's what they should be charged with. But everyone knows they won't be.

    And the fundamental failure here is the DAs & city officials that won't pursue this course of action.

    This is why it's so hard to get corrupt/bad cops out of the system. The entire system is built to protect them, at all costs.

    Not to Godwin a discussion, but same argument for the research the Nazis did on twins. Some of it is good, useful information. But nobody will touch it because of its source.

    the value of houses rose steadily through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000

    Definitely not the case in the US. Looks more like a cardiac rhythm here. Up and down.

    Right now, I'm trying to sell a house for 20% less than I paid for it, after owning it for 10 years - can't get a buyer.

  24. Re:One good turn... on James Watson's Nobel Prize Medal Will Be Returned To Him · · Score: 1

    How recently? My parents never had net positive equity until they retired & paid if off with retirement money.

    In part because mortgage rates in the 1980s were in the 15-20% range. Hard to build up equity in that environment.
