Most every numbered street (mostly Avenues, it seems) in Phoenix has a corresponding way, place, and circle. Add in the complimentary North for South, East for West, and it's logical but sometimes a bit confusing.
This is VERY common in the Phoenix area. Camelback Drive goes from west of the city center through the Biltmore district (very nice) all the way into the Salt River Reservation (not so nice to us gringos, a nice place to live if you live there). It's interrupted for more than a half mile in some places. You have to pay attention to Google Maps.
Now, Siri will send you uphill sometimes when there is. no. hill. But that's entertainment.
Our government should be subject to both the rule of law and the will of the people, which should be either be the same or consistent.
Snowden exposed significant excursions of illegality, and did so in a less than most harmful manner. If by 'harmful' you would mean 'to have exposed what they are doing in secret', then yes, this is correct.
He didn't use insecure means, known to be subject to compromise, to disclose matters specific enough to risk the lives of intelligence operatives worldwide, nor to disclose precise methods. That was done by another government official, and so far they haven't been held to account. Mr. Snowden is not a criminal except in the strictest sense of having not been caught before he disclosed what he did. He is a whistleblower, and a genuine patriot. He is part of the process of restoring our government to a position of guarded trust it should occupy.
Trump is not the harbinger, he is the messenger. It is our message he carries. The leadership has failed to cover their bets, and now the Party will either dissolve or rebuild.
I vote for rebuilding, but all I really want is a functional alternative to the Left.
How many deaths due to road accidents are intentional? Not intentional due to road or vehicle design, but due to driver or other individuals actions?
How many road accidents (or other daily risks) can be assigned a motivation that can be stated simply as hate?
Terrorist attacks are nothing like road accidents, or even food choices.
Sadly, warning against the loss of civil;liberties in Europe seems a bit belated. Europe, even before the EU, has been surrendering such liberties as they had before much too easily (IMHO).
America cannot follow that path. It will not lead to safety.
In this era of secret courts that concept of 'sufficient reason' no longer means what we think it means. Without meaningful genuine oversight this is all become whatever the government wants it to, at the moment.
We need to reject secret courts. While this current fight is more public, be sure they will become secret again if successful.
One of the beauties of a capitalistic market system is that self-motivated, avaricious players can serve the market well, even with unintended virtue.
If Apple is defying the government only to be able to sell more products, on the premise that they will not cave and expose your encrypted information upon request, especially if they assured you that your information is safe EVEN FROM APPLE, I don't care that they do so just to sell me something. I want to be secure.
Apple developers and engineers did not come to Apple fully formed. They had the knowledge, skills and abilities to develop into the productive employees they are now
Some of them could do the same for your company, given the chance you might give another candidate employed elsewhere.
Of course you read their resumes with a jaundiced eye for cliches and meaningless jargon. I do.
Just because an agency claims it, and a court agrees, and appeals ultimately fail at the highest court, doesn't make it true. It merely makes it legal.
Which is why appointing SCOTUS Justices is more important than and transcends presidential elections. They are above review, short of impeachment, and collectively exert both absolute power and defy review and correction.
Try impeaching one Justice, very difficult. Impeaching two, who could drive the Court in any direction they wish, exceedingly difficult.
Impeaching three to break a cabal? Ha. An Article Five convention would be easier.
Unfortunately, it is also true that despite protests to the contrary, acquiescing to the FBI request this time, if it is indeed possible, would both open the way for the FBI and other agencies to request this in the future forever, and force Apple and others to ask this question -
Do I want to sell a product with encryption that cannot be circumvented?
Well, do they? DO we have a right to be secure in our possessions, to not be forced to incriminate ourselves by being forced to provide documents, messages, conversations, or merely to permit access to these, or do we have the right to not cooperate with an investigation and prosecution of ourselves?
Well, do we?
And can Apple sell products that include encryption that cannot be subverted? Notice I do not specify that this subversion be limited to government, but there is no method, resource, or force the government can exert that another determined and capable individual or group also cannot employ. That includes money or force.

There is no good reason to introduce intentional delays into transactions. None.

Rat evictions?
There is such a thing as too much. You need to stop feeding them, intentionally or not. Let them move in peace.

And trip scheduling software used GIS-generated mapping then, and it worked very well.

No, really?
Didn't see THAT coming... ....whoosh.....
Dead on, and absolutely correct.

You go to Gitmo for whatever they want. I wonder if Habeas Corpus works there...

Reinforcing one of Apple's arguments, that their reputation is at stake here.
Good job. I see what you did there.
