That is an interesting video to watch. I immediately imagine a self driving car, on its way to pick me up, swinging by this robot arm to charge up. I wonder if it would be possible for something like this to provide a charge while moving?

The idea of a "Right to be Forgotten" in practice always seems to me like claiming a right to make other people loose their memory (even if electronic). That is at best problematic. However, as this infographic shows, kids now ar

One quote from the article: "People die because of this stuff,” said John Burton, a California lawyer who specializes in police misconduct cases. “When they give these cops a pass, it just ripples through the system.” I'm curious

From the article you link to: "Overall, blacks were killed at three times the rate of whites or other minorities when adjusting by the population of the census tracts where the shootings occurred."

How many black lives are lost yearly? And those that aren't by chance caught on video tape get zero press. Just knowing the stuff that happens must make people edgy.

Judges, prosecutors and most of the media will always assume the cops side unless there is overwhelming video/audio evidence. Add to that the fact that they have a gun and the right to use it with almost no consequences (some extra pap

I wounder if anyone has given thought to how this will affect the poor girl. She knows she's been the cause of this poor guys life being messed up. Well, the idiots in the prosecutors office and the judge are the actual cause, but sh

More people have to become aware of the fact that being on the "sex offender" registry most likely means you urinated in public or some such other small offense. How are we safer from actual predators by doing that?

There's been a lot recently about the explosion of tuition burdens. And the ways in which the student loan system is mostly setup to benefit the banks (and to the Feds it's also a positive revenue source). Is this a sort of step t

How many times do we have to see prosecutors using laws in ways never intended when passed before we stop passing these broad laws? After Enron anyone fighting against Sarbanes-Oxley passage was laughed at for claiming it was over-broad.

The prosecutors also want to prevent the discussion of the existence of the NSA, and a speech by Diane Feinstein. It's best not to confuse juries with anything not favorable to the prosecution.

I've always wondered if it would make sense to sunset all laws. I know there are laws that are uncontroversial, but if so then there wouldn't be a problem with getting them renewed. On the other hand, many laws get passed and are

Thanks for posting that, it's a relief to know it's not a shut but a shuffle to minimize the attackers harm. Unfortunately, apparently Troll isn't the right word after all, attacker is more accurate. From the statement: &quo

The trolls apparently have won. By being open and transparent apparently you just give trolls ammunition, which they use to harass and threaten. Not just Leo, not just his employees' but family as well. To protect his family, and his
