Our State Constitution has strong privacy protections, and the act of flying a drone that can see in your upstairs window, without a court ordered warrant issued for a specific person at a specific place at a specific time, violates many parts of that.
If it's ceramic, wipe them three times with 1s and 0s and then smash them to bits with a large hammer, and then cast the resulting powder into a nice art sculpture.
If it's metal, do the same but melt it.
Have to agree - anything that went on the cloud should be assumed to have been copied.
Solar energy can't provide the demands of the average household let alone factories etc who use even more power. Good luck trying to run a washing machine, fridge, dishwasher or drier on solar.
Strange. My dad and his wife do perfectly fine in their three story house in Vermont running on solar.
And publish or perish has an even deeper meaning in many Asian countries.
Both the pressure to release things before they are fully proven.
And the pressure to always succeed no matter the costs.
The lack of critiques by junior scientists involved in the institutions and labs involved is another cause of these distorted results.
One of the first thing scientists from Asian countries learn when they work in US labs is that they are expected to critique and question senior scientists, which is regarded as Not Done in their original countries.

Look at how many people drive into the ocean or off an offramp into a pit when their GPS says to do so.
Now multiply it by 65 mph fiery balls of doom.
Throw in a few bad weather conditions - floods (drowning), bridge failures (plummet to death), three cars all aiming for you at the same time - and you've got lifetime employment for every English Barrister.
They illegally and unconstitutionally collect it anyway, especially on Americans, and give a copy of the feed illegally and unconstitutionally to the CIA and GCHQ.
Surprisingly, no. The vast use of water is for water-intensive crops and for industrial and commercial uses that tend not to be in cities per se.
Should people in cities use less water to maintain lawns of non-native plants that they water during the day when the water evaporates? Sure.
Will doing so radically alter the water usage? No.
The primary drivers are the water-intensive crops (largest) and the commercial and industrial uses of water (second largest).
When doing triage, look at the biggest sources, not the smallest. If you don't fix the hole in their heart, they can't pump enough blood even if you patch the small leaks in the limbs.
Blaming others (e.g. LA vs farmers) is easy and fun, but it frequently accomplishes nothing.
Ya know Will, you can be really depressing at times.
The bizarre thing is I'm actually an optimist, I just don't get bothered by all the stuff I know.
It was very useful when I did counter-terrorism - a lot of people get ultra cynical after that.
Look, everyone tries to freak you out. The engineer part of me always hears them say "choose A or B" and I choose to realize there are mixtures of choices between A and B and besides A and B, some of which are "better" and some of which are "worse" and that choosing something other than A "bad" is probably better than not choosing B "good".
If 1000 people in cities who drive very little and have little environmental impact due to energy etc change a lot, it may be less than 10 people in rural areas changing a small amount. Just alter time of day for watering, use less water dependent crops (rice etc), and you'll be right as rain. Pay attention to native crops and plants and animals and shift towards those and away from non-native ones.
One of the fun things about Seattle is we actually own the entire watershed here. All of it. So the suburbs basically have no water rights.
They either buy it from us at a premium to what our citizens (who own it) pay or they buy it from someone else (at a higher premium since it has to be trucked in).

what's a car?
Um, it rains here. We have lightning. We have fog. Sometimes we go weeks without seeing the sun.
Don't be taken in by the pretty pictures from our two months of summer sunshine.
Why would we want door to door delivery of burritos? There's a food truck down the block.

So Bhutan can live in their 1984 paradise.
We'll be strong and free.
And, yes, we make stuff here.

Be careful.
Even when they say they turn theirs off, they don't.
Seattle PD turned theirs off a year ago, but sometimes it turns on, which shows it isn't really off at all, but is turned back on by the feds at will.
Most people in Seattle don't run AC. In fact, most cars here rarely turn on their air conditioning.
Not everyone lives in the South.

Maybe you're stuck in the 70s?
I think you're being too kind.
Adapt or Die.
Looks like Morgan Stanley and Tesla are adapting.
Looks like deadenders aren't.
What ever happened to not breaking the law to collect evidence?
Oh please. Only the rich and powerful have rights in East German America.
Wow. The NSA got here quick. They're on top of things today.
Probably has to do with them realizing there are two leakers in the NSA.
I don't have the heart to tell them it's a Gang of Four.

It would be a shame if hackers retaliated with drive by hacks of autopiloted cars using small RC vehicles mounting range extended telecom connectors.
But, those who live by the unconstitutional spying on their own citizens deserve what blowback they get.
If you don't have anything to hide, you don't understand what metadata is.
Water is the life blood of the universe.
He who controls the water, controls everything!
Move to Seattle. Our energy is cheaper, greener, and the water flows!
Back when I was a combat field engineer we lifted transom beams with 6 guys that meant each of us lifted many multiples of that.
Wake me when you actually are doing some real lifting.
And you should also wipe the keypad after entering the password so the heat sig doesn't show up, btw.
That said, I can still read your key usage by the sounds reflecting off your piano tie.
That plus the industrial cost of electricity here is something like 1/20th that of gasoline and it's Green Electricity, baby, Green!

This experiment will end when the first group of schoolkids dart into the road from all directions, and the resulting lawsuits end the "experiment".
The Middle Class didn't.
The Poor got taken to the cleaners.
Thank god my investments in Guillotine and Pitchfork franchises are proving to be fruitful.
All I want is Sims 4 that works standalone, Standalone Complex that works in doll mode, and Second Son: inFamous that works in Grey Hat mode.
