"I can write this in a slow, OO language using OPM (other people's modules) and it'll be quick to target, bug free, lightweight, and fast. Because, uh, faster hardware and, uh, derp" Also, "I don't need to learn C, I have (fill in the blank with the latest fad language that purports to save programmers from having to really learn to program)" and also "I can use the (fill in the blank with the latest agile / tricky / ultra-testable) technique to Make My Code Shine!"

Oh yeah, and this charmer: "I don't have to bugfix version-2 or older, it's perfectly reasonable to expect everyone to upgrade."

Don't they already do that? :P

Either that or people see cameras on them and are less likely to run or resist arrest. But most likely a mixture of the two. I'm sure there's a lot of misbehavior on both sides when the cameras are off. It looks like the cameras are a big win for everybody.

This is the best part of it IMO. It doesn't matter whose fault the problems were. Was it the suspect misbehaving? Was it an abusive cop? Is it a liar trying to get an officer in trouble after the fact? On the whole, it's a mix of all of them, but we don't need to know the actual mix to appreciate the fact that it seems to be better for everybody.

It's very hard for police unions to fight against something that clearly reduces their physical danger and exposure to complaints. If they save face by pretending that the cameras are making the "bad guys" behave and that it wasn't a police problem in the first place, that's fine by me.

Not for the countries that don't use that date format. I wonder if people celebrated pi day back in 3/14/1592. :P

I don't want a mobile phone, but I do want a smartwatch that doesn't need a mobile phone like the old school Casio Data Bank 150/300. :(

My wife bought most of our HDMI cables at Ross and TJ Maxx. HDMI cables are exaclty the sort of commodity item with a ridiculous markup that the overflow sellers tend to carry at reasonable prices.

Ah, so countries where the per capita income is less than 1/10th that of the U.S. are good examples of what people in the U.S. would be willing to buy if the government did not force them to only buy safer cars? You do realize that in India and China the choice for most people is either buy one of those "death traps" or be unable to afford a car at all?
Or in other words, you believe that the people of India and China would be better off if their cars were too expensive for most of them to have a car.

They started doing it before the SARS "epidemic". I remember them talking about how the swine flu epidemic in 1976 was going to be like the 1918 flu pandemic because we were "due". It was just a matter of time til another flu pandemic like the one in 1918 happened.

If the law cannot keep up, what makes it possible for a statutory agency to do so? I would argue that the statutory agencies do no better at keeping up than the legislature would.
Further, I did not say that I support the right of the government to invent and enforce arbitrary regulations. I believe that if the regulations were created in the laws, they would be less arbitrary.
Ah yes, another person who is convinced that ALL laws and regulations are good and anyone who opposes ANY laws or regulations must oppose ALL laws and regulations. The problem I have is, if we live in a world where we can depend on government bureaucrats to ONLY implement good regulations, why do we need any regulations?
