And because a man illegally used a dashcam, he was fined 300 euros. It was a camera recording the use of a car from the driver's point of view, which is illegal. Two people were reprimanded for using surveillance cameras for their own

The "Proposed Removal" is interesting. I also read elsewhere that it was thought nuclear blasts could clear holes for astronauts to travel through.

Dang, respectfully disagree as this is a meta-comment on the concept, not targeting any specific religion. However you are welcome to delete if you feel it best.

You are of course correct in a grand sense, but there's this weird gray area philosophically where someone builds a town square and says "everyone come and talk in my square"...until the hear what you are speaking about! The

Sorry but if you're not a member of the tribe, you can't possibly interpret the tribe's book. (said in jest to point out the problematic response)

I'm very concerned about loosing the right to attack religion. It's an important discussion to have and for children to see. All religion is foolish, and has to be approached from a reality-based context.

I'm not convinced centralized models being politically "pushed around" in the age of the internet will succeed. They may likely be a retreat, and long term ebb-and-flow from centralized to decentralized poles. The centralized

Best-stated comment so far. We seem to forget that this whole problem exists in an edge domain only.

I dont think its corelous (is that a word?). It's not really a lift and shift to new platform. However the analogy to "rewrite all this" politics is good I think. Often you could walk into a building and say "all this ne

This is just tangential, but related. I work as an engineer in the reseller (VAR) space. SUSE (the spun out from MicroFocus commercial company) has been hiring lots of enterprise sales reps in US metros, and it seems like every enterprise a

Easy...coworking spaces have dogs, and often, 3D printers... With the new Kong (c) API (TM), you can dream up and print new toys on the spot with Kong's patented Toy Platform, King (TM). Keep your dog happy allows you to be a better br

Ownership of land by those without Skin in the Game can easily lead to this sort of thing. Times 1000 when by a politically hellbent bureaucracy.

Benedict Evens' newsletter this week made a good point in regards to breaking up tech: "anti-trust theory, on both the diagnosis side and the remedy side, seems to be flummoxed when faced by products that are free or as cheap as p

Straight line calculation(not what will really happen) shows $2.89MM per family. Not out of line with US-valued wrongful death losses. Given that many individuals are outside the US, this is probably a good place to be. Of course its no rep

Boeing are very good archivists. Anyone visiting or in the Seattle area should make some time to visit the History of Flight museum at Boeing Field, it's got amazing depth of history in airplane mfg., as well as famous airplanes from t

Could be a wealth tax instead of income tax. But, let's stop worrying about "the wealthy"...just make a systems that's easy for everyone and funds the government. Soaking the rich shouldn't be the goal...a balanced

Arguably the wealthy are now liberals...cultured elites in the cities. I think you can see this by tracking who donates to Dem. campaigns....so just saying...don't be quick to roll out this old trope that Rep.= wealthy. I don't th

This comes from a really old philosophy called ironically "Modern Monetary Theory", MMT. It has been roundly debunked by both Keynesians (where most of HN sits) and Austrians (myself). A government cannot spend its way to universa

You know, that's probably debatable. The high wealthy also spend a lot on private services above and beyond what's publically available. Private security, planes, accountant and legal teams, private doctors, etc.

For compare, articles say $2.4BN USD spent in 2016 Presidential Election, with 137.5MM voting. That's $17.45 per capita. But I don't know if I'd swing a vote for a single bottle of wine!

I think they get an exit virtual POP in that AC to avoid extra charges, start at XXX-0001, XXX-0002, etc. It lowers cost and looks more relevant.
