Usually in these stories, Batman or whoever leaves behind enough evidence to support a successful prosecution, along with the tied-up bad guy.

The vigilante broke the law to gain evidence, so all the evidence the vigilante obtained would be thrown out,

That’s actually an interesting situation. The fourth and fifth amendments put restrictions on the government, not private vigilantes. So if the cops just happen to find evidence in plain view, there won’t be a direct constitutional reason to suppress it.

Now if the local prosecutor has a pattern or practice of deliberately turning a blind eye to the unlicensed private investigators that routinely supply them with illegally obtained information, there’s probably a claim there. But it’s a lot more complicated to make that case than a straight-up 4th amendment case.

Yep. All of the unmanned stuff is a real bargain.

I think Hubble was even cheaper too, but Hubble was a hand me down spy sat from NRO.

$200 billion is $50 billion more than the entire program cost of the International Space Station, which is claimed to be the most expensive single object ever constructed.

ISS delivers manned orbital habitation at a rate of $7.5 million per astronaut-day, which is less than half what Skylab cost.

Or even just 9 months ago, when he told the leader of Germany that D-Day “was not a pleasant day for you.”

Japan actually tried to coordinate a formal declaration of war to be submitted immediately before the attack commenced. But due to technical and logistical problems, the communique was not read by American diplomats until after the attack.

This syndicated comic strip ran in a bunch of main line newspapers yesterday. You have to understand it’s pretty wild for these big, mainstream comic strips to dip into politics if that’s not what they usually do. When Doonesbury went “too far”, he got moved to the opinion page in a bunch of papers.

And Love Is In The Bin became more valuable than Girl With Balloon at a subsequent auction, too, by a factor of 18x.

I’m pretty sure she was fired before quitting.

Context: the man was dying because the cops shot him.

Both options are better than private event spaces, which a lot of them are

The Syrian deployments were covered by the 2001 AUMF. But that AUMF has finally been repealed now. It would be a serious escalation in claimed presidential powers to send ground forces into anything longer than approximately Grenada.

Unless the car is governed at 325, it seems more likely that the telemetry stream dropped out for a bit, then came back. When no data packets were received, the client program just kept repeating the same stale values to keep the graphs going.

It’s cheaper and easier to do it that way than to program graphics that describe “no telemetry received” into the graphs.

Gumbo is a soup that is thickened with dark roux, and usually contains okra (also a thickener). I say “usually” because I understand some people omit okra or make filé gumbos or what have you. The word “gumbo” comes from the word for okra in various West African languages.

The choice of meats, proteins, and other ingredients is arbitrary. Throw in whatever you’ve got. More kinds of stuff is usually better. Chicken, sausage, and seafood are popular.

In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel

This is not true any more. Gentoo provides sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin as an option.

And just what happens when the network goes down? Some kind of degraded operating mode? Does the car just slam the brakes regardless of what it’s doing?

It helps that DC 3 has an unpressurized cabin. In modern airliners, fatigue puts an upper limit on the total number of up and down cycles the airframe can ensure.

For me 1.0 only means that I’ve delivered the software to a paying customer.

They’re F15s, the older tech, and the American pilots were probably taken completely by surprise by the Kuwaiti attack.

Eh, the fucking cellular modems in my car that stream the camera data for training can be used to track me. Hell, the anti theft tracker that I paid money for can be used to track me.
