My wife and I once lived in Pueblo, Colorado. This was a decade and a half ago, but I suspect the police department has not ethically improved. We actually left the town because we decided living there would be too much of a legal risk. Basically, the cops lie. They say whatever they feel would make their case, and people go the jail frequently for fake charges.
We were victims of the police to a (legally) minor degree. We only suffered misdemeanors, but we could see how the same policing technique could be used for felonies.
OTOH, it's a super nice town. Apart from the cops, the people are honest and very friendly.
I can only use my own orientation to speculate on the thinkings of others. I would not use a joke like that because it creates a disgusting picture. I don't think it would be disgusting to a gay comedian, and thus, Colbert has revealed himself.
Why should a country or a person "own" the resources beneath them? Do people get mineral rights when they are born? The custom or system of allocating riches on this basis needs to change. It's clearly unjust.
Uhhhh, Icebergs are *less* dense that's why they float. I think the author means mass.
The author meant size, not density. And while we're criticizing, the sentence is poorly constructed. "Because of" is preferable to "due to". "Due to" should only be used after a linking verb, like "was".
If you are stating that "hidden information" is possessed by the entangled particles, Bell's Inequalities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... refutes that. Or at least it refutes "local hidden variables".
IOW, Bell's experiment showed that the entangled particles can't be established as opposites at the time of creation.
I side with the players, Ivey and Sun, not the casino. The issue is whether edge sorting is a legitimate technique or is it cheating. The rules are established before the game is played. If a player uses his skills, vision or intellect, after that point, it is legitimate. When the casino bet that its cards were impervious to edge sorting (a known technique), the casino lost. It lost because it was arrogant in believing in its own design. Besides, Sun making the request to rotate the sixes through nines should have been enough to clue-in the casino. But it agreed to the request.

That's the solution I recommend. A casino should be able to exist, but the advertisement needs to be regulated. That's how pot is sold in the Netherlands.
trans-gender is simply people trying to get the government to force others to go along with their lies. it's impossible to change genders because you can't change your chromosomes. it's just self-mutilation. just like the vet who now has prosthetic legs isn't suddenly a cyborg. sad, really.
I agree, but the analogy is bad.
Getting a prosthetic limb is inarguably a practical application of technology. Getting your genitals amputated may have psychological benefits to the subject, but anything beyond that is debatable.
Did anyone notice that three of the actors in that video were transgender? Lily Robotics deserves some recognition for their inclusiveness, even if their technology isn't quite ready yet... I, for one, applaud their courage and wish them well.
This says to me that seeing drag queens and the opposite (what do you call them?) in a promotional video is a reddish flag. A company that is playing to an irrelevant social attitude of potential customers may not have the ability to promote on legitimate grounds. IOW, pandering to gender-rights is sleazy when the issue is a drone's technical abilities.
But, personally, the video was an objectional promotion for other reasons. (I didn't notice the gender/sexual element.) It was asking for suckers without presenting any technical details. That's been done again and again already.

We are thankful to Obama for closing down the two Russian spying compounds our dedicated security forces discovered here in America.
I suspect Russia, or more accurately, the Russian companies involved, simply had to deal with the Clintons for the Uranium One purchase. The buyers needed approval from the State Dept., and Hillary had veto power. So Russia donated to the foundation and paid Bill for a speech. Russia probably didn't want to pay the bribes; the bribes simply were a necessary element of the deal.
Also, although some news stories are casting the Uranium One deal as a national security issue, it really isn't. The Canadian assets were the meat of the deal, and the part ownership in a US uranium processing facility and some mining claims don't amount to much.
Regarding the DNC email release, which Assange states should not be called a "hack" because that is not necessarily the way the leaking party obtained the emails, it doesn't matter who provided them. Who wrote them and their content are what is important,
I'm old now (62), and when I was a kid, the recommended procedure was to slap the choking person on the back. I'm not sure. Do people still do that?
A separate issue: American schools are so prudish, that when demonstrating the Heimlich maneuver, they never use a cute girl as the choking victim and a guy as the one who applies the procedure.
I'm glad he disposed of Hillary. But now that that done, I've done some calculations. It turns out it would be cheaper to send Trump to China than it would be to bring Apple here. That's the answer.
...I'm not really convinced there's much of anything to be done short of making a stealth drone so quiet and tiny that it won't be noticed (good luck with that, as there's a reason for the phrase "eagle-eyed"), or using a drone so large and intimidating it won't be attacked.
Making a camera-drone tiny may be hard, but making it big wouldn't. If you didn't need to fight the wind, hanging the drone from a balloon would increase the size without a weight penality. Perhaps a strobe at the right frequency and color would work. I agree with hackwrench. A little research would solve the problem.

An "idiot" like me would take that seriously. It's only reasonable to speculate on the damage going the other way, that is, the drones harming the eagles. Gold prospectors aren't known for their compassion for wildlife. Their solution will probably be to use shotguns.
I don't approve of the "-phobic" suffix. A phobia is an unreasonable fear, a disorder of a sort. And it means fear-of, not disapproval or opposition.
The word "homophobic" was popularized by homosexuals themselves, And the word "Islamophobic" was crafted by Muslim supporters to imply that their critics were crazy.
I've heard it wasn't Russians at all, but US Intel agencies that leaked it, because they (the low level agents) hated the idea of Clinton Presidency, especially once they saw the writing on the wall about the Comey investigation not going after Clinton.
Granted, that is speculation and unnamed sources. But that seems to be all that is needed these days.
I don't know who it was that revealed those emails to the American public. It could have been DNC's Director of Voter Expansion Data, Seth Rich http://www.newsweek.com/seth-r... . Whoever-it-was did us a service. And whoever-it-was doesn't really matter. What matters is the content.

Here we go again. This reminds me of a boy, a boy who loved to cry wolf.
Considering the update, which negates the story, does this count as that "fake news" we've been hearing about?

I, personally, believe Seth Rich was the leaker. https://heatst.com/tech/wikile...
It's so stupid, I didn't even believe it at first. I thought it was an Onion report or something.
A separate issue: American schools are so prudish, that when demonstrating the Heimlich maneuver, they never use a cute girl as the choking victim and a guy as the one who applies the procedure.
I'm glad he disposed of Hillary. But now that that done, I've done some calculations. It turns out it would be cheaper to send Trump to China than it would be to bring Apple here. That's the answer.
(That was for the sake of argument. I don't see anything improper with making stuff in China.)
