Unfortunately, from what I can tell, US legal history is mostly a long sequence of lies (found in the text of precedents) told to 'justify' government and/or the legal profession ignoring the Bill of Rights (otherwise known as treating the Bill of Rights like toilet paper).

The occasional exception occurs in cases like this one - but even here you can clearly see how badly entrenched the corruption is.

This should have been an unanimous decision: all the judges should have been in agreement.

Better yet, the issue should never have had to go before the courts, because the police, the justice department, the district attorneys, and so forth have all sworn oaths to uphold the law - and should know better. Those oaths are not supposed to be empty words.

So we're certainly hip deep in something ...

Contradictions in the law are always a violation of the right to ethical practice of law (a right arising under the 9th Amendment) - and likely other rights. Unfortunately, it's you can't look very long at US law before you find lots of contradictions - and many other indicators of legal ethics problems - which says something about the historical and present integrity of the folks making up the US legal profession ...

You don't have to be Hamlet to realize there's something badly wrong in this state.

It's not an accident that huge sums of money are spent every year by people and businesses to protect themselves from a legal system that is widely seen as lacking in integrity. Simply from an economics perspective alone, this is a huge problem, since those expenses compound through the economy and function like a substantial hidden regressive tax.

Government violations of the law are nothing new: hence the saying eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Unfortunately, the long term trends suggest the problem is getting worse: expenditures on direct legal expenses as a fraction of GDP have tripled since 1950. There are numerous economic studies showing serious problems with US law: any decent business school text on Risk Management and Insurance will have references, and you can also find many in The Captured Economy.

You can tart it up in pretty colors, but all this was figured out over a decade ago.

Slack is somehow losing hundreds of millions of dollars against decent revenue, providing an IM app.  It boggles the mind.

Nothing says "Agism" quite like the "OK BOOMER" meme. Saying "OK BOOMER" is basically saying "What you have to say is not relevant to me because you were born in a different generation and your experience and technical knowledge has no value because of that". At my workplace we are all old guys doing firmware and hardware and this little girl decides she knows better than engineers who have been doing it for 40 years. HR hired her to get new blood (no pun intended) in the department but she not not capable of taking mentorship or advice. She does not have weird hair or revealing cloths at work and she keeps her politics out of the workplace, but the second she said "OK BOOMER" and dismissed my advice (I told her to use volatile variables when creating pointers to registers) I pretty much stopped any kind of mentorship as its unwelcome. Soon I bet she will go to HR and say we aren't mentoring her. This is the kind of person who uses the "OK BOOMER" meme.

+1 my thoughts exactly!

just a reminder of why i'm not rich - i wouldn't believe people pay real money for this stuff..

Interesting. Because I don't have money problems and I am almost 50. So try again.

I'll see you at your delisting in 3 years.

Darwinian selection in action.

"Herzberg had a "high concentration of methamphetamine" (more than 10 times the medicinal dose) in her blood which would alter her perception. She also had some marijuana residue. She did not look to her right at the oncoming vehicle until 1 second before the crash."

All i ever saw in slack was an IRC server with video chat and screen sharing... really sad how far we haven't come.. kinda like /. just a BBS without the dial-in #!

May I say WOOOOOOOSH!

So who do you propose regulates space? I foresee some minor jurisdictional issues.

the one day i don't have mod points!

Thatâ(TM)s funny because 25 is a tad fast for the loop around HQ.

First of all, it is important to find where bed bugs are hiding. Most often it is: upholstered or cabinet furniture https://cleanhomeguide.com/bes... objects hanging on the walls: pictures, carpets, paintings, etc .; household appliances; skirting boards; books; rarely used items or clothing; ventilation; sockets. In addition, parasites can equip their nests under wallpaper strips, under carpets. And in any other secluded places.

"OK Boomer" is shorthand for "Would you like fries with that?"

It won’t.

Why won’t it?

Because all the hybrid and electric formulas currently in play are essentially either extremely heavily restricted in energy storage, energy harvesting and energy deployment, or they are spec formulas where you are supposed to buy those parts from one or two manufacturers.

There is no open hybrid or electric formulas where heavy development would benefit - not even F1 counts, as its hybrid usage is extremely restricted.

There’s no scope for fielding a wonderful extra capacity battery because you are restricted on amounts of energy you can harvest and deploy, and existing tech manages to exceed those limits in all formulas currently in existence.

You won’t see another new formula removing these restrictions, nor will you see drastic raising of limits in existing formulas, because the FIA is currently on a drive to cut costs for teams across the board - billion dollar research programs are no longer the accepted norm, while more and more spec parts and budget caps are.

Nothing you've said changes any5hing. My story has been 10000% consistent. The potus can fire any and all ambassadors for any reason at any time. You have yet to explain what she provided towards impeachment. Nothing. I'm sure you're unaware Obama told all ambassadors to turn in their resignations in 2008. And that's totally ok. It's his right. You just keep spewing about unrelated issues with no details. WHAT NEW INFORMATION DID SHE PROVIDE TOWARDS IMPEACHMENT? Be specific or stfu.

I'm sure we're all glad to hear it.

You keep spelling it wrong, should have been "Don't install Oracle products on your computer". Common mistake.

In most jurisdictions that only applies where they are legally crossing the road.

I honestly didn't even know they had reviews on the online Apple store.

Note that this only applies to GoldTV.ca.
It has no jurisdiction on sites that are not in the ".ca" domain.
In other words, no effect.

No.
I was respectful to older people, when they deserved it, and avoided (or ignored, if couldn't avoid) those who didn't deserve my respect.

You're assuming that China's leaders have the best interests of the Chinese people in mind. Why? I see little evidence to support that.

Uh, Canada doesn't have one.

Simple deadman's switches get taped, weighted, or whatever other bypass is easily at hand. Periodic signals are hit on demand, without any increase in attentiveness. The former are almost always bypassed quickly by operators, the latter do the bare minimum to prove the driver is not asleep or dead, and no more.

The only way to really make people pay attention is for them to have an accurate understanding of the risks and capabilities of the vehicle. The real true cause of this incident is simply a misalignment between the driver's expectations, and the vehicle's abilities. If the driver thought the vehicle wasn't capable of driving itself, they'd have been paying attention so as not to die in a fiery crash. But they thought the car was self driving (which the fact you need a "safety driver" proves it is not) which led to inattentiveness that no automated system ever designed can really solve.

Not quite. Trump is the best thing China ever hoped for. He's an idiot who is trashing the alliances with Japan and S. Korea. He pulled the U.S. out of the only counterweight to Chinese economic pressure in the Pacific canceling U.S. involvement in the Trans Pacific Partnership all because it was started under Obama. When the U.S. just this week confabbed with Asian allies over Chinese and how the U.S. want them to get close to Washington, they balked. Why would they want to get closer to an unstable genius who will change his mind depending upon the latest phone call from that sawed off little runt from N. Korea?

That's not all, he pissed off S. America and thus made them look more kindly to Chinese "investment". He trashed NATO and the EU giving the Chinese a foothold in Europe. Italy signed onto the One Belt to Bind Them, One Road to Hold Them initiative of the Chinese because there's no hope of working with alleged president.

... with the exact same music illustrating how Slack ripped off IRC.

And the light pollution from your moon based casino will be reflected back to the surface of the moon exactly how?

It's not just about being able to watch Netflix. It's also about being able to upload measurements of your soil to a crop advisor.

What do you mean Google-like future? You mean with a panopticon? The US government wants that exactly as badly as China.

I want us to invent a bunch of tech and sell it to the world. I'm not convinced how much manufacturing is necessary. As long as we're leading, the money will flow. The green new deal/carbon dividend seems to give ourselves an excuse to do that, while being seen as heroes to the rest of the world at the same time.

Here you have this hyper-politically-correct generation that screams various perceived -isms at every opportunity. Yet the biggest meme they can come up with is one of pure discrimination, discrimination on the sole basis of something people have no influence over: their age.

It's so full of delicious hypocrisy. For that alone it makes me chuckle.

And those are all terms that are composed of words.
