I'm still pretty firmly convinced that free market concepts really never got a fair shake in the U.S. in the first place.
until someone figures out how to make sociopaths act honestly, the free market will always be doomed to be governed by anti-competitive behavior.
is he wrong in saying that only having researching gender issues and only having researchers of only one gender may skew the research? what if this were two male researchers and a female rejected it for "ideologically biased assumptions"?

is the point of such devices to enforce HOV as a method to encourage more people to carpool in an effort to reduce traffic and pollution or is this just a money grab? if the point is to encourage people to carpool, it will fail as some people simply cannot carpool and the 15% that are scofflaws will simply add to existing traffic congestion which will ultimately cause more pollution. if it's just a money grab, this makes total sense.
Carter cited the newly declassified incident during an address at Stanford University, in which he also warned the Pentagon was ready to help defend America's networks and to use cyber weaponry, if needed.

the Department of Defense was previously named the Department of War for a good reason.
smaller companies care about data privacy just as much as big ones do
so they care deeply until you ask them to spend money at which point they will do the minimum needed to avoid being sued. gotcha, they're directed by sociopath.

even within that, the threat passes right through hackers again.
when someone shoves you into a pit of snakes, are you angry at the snake that bites you?

Arimaa is a two-player strategy board game that was designed to be playable with a standard chess set and difficult for computers while still being easy to learn and fun to play for humans.
