Thankfully most cities were not stupid enough to buy lead lined pipes.....

I agree.

Even if you walk by a FLOCK camera you are catalogued.

Sickening bravado of these privacy stealing folk.

Whats worse is the town has snubbed its residents:

How did a Jewish Community Center end up allowing FLOCK to access its security cameras?

Pool and Gymnastics seem like sensitive places unless PEDO.

I agree with much of what you say. Adding a second display port was not something anybody needed.

Desktop computer was a reach. Even for BeagleBone.

I am surprised RK3566 and RK3568 still don't have good UEFI-EDK2 support.

RK3588 has great UEFI-EDK2 support. I wish somebody would backport RK356x and RK3399 boards....

The pace of development is too fast. We don't need more aarch64 CPU but better support. RISC-V adds to the mayhem.

Like we need that...

The Open Source Hardware Dream.

I worked in a machine shop of a large shipyard and 20 years ago they had CNC Winders for rebuilding armatures for Navy ships.

They replaced older versions that were NC winders.

So this "hand wound" story is just that.

Windings going into Oil Tank? I think you mean varnish tank... After the rotating assembly is balanced they go into a protective coating tank that is a varnish.

Thanks for clarifying.

I wonder who is slandering her more... WOW

Maybe the citys insurance carrier hired a FIRM...

They will be taking a hit.

That is the first I have heard of that. A small unexplained blurb in this article. Already in jail on parole violation..

Maybe she objected to the extradition order without good counsel.

"I aint never been to N.Dakota". She found out the hard way how the law works..

What about the banks being hit. Surely they have good cameras. This was bad mojo. I would think a Wells Fargo/BoA has a unit for this stuff.

Finincial crimes handled like this. The banks will be sued too I suspect.. Deep pockets settle out.

Indeed let out on Christmas Eve with no money 1000 miles from your homeland.

Where your home was lost to foreclosure because one JUDGE did not look at the paperwork.

There should be a way to personally sue somebody when they don't do their job. Protecting the innocent. The JUDGE failed badly here.

Flimsy evidence would mean no warrant. Do your basic investigation please... Rubberstamping JUDGE caused this.

Why are they not named? Like they are a spectator. Infact they are the cause.

Yes but a judge issued the warrant in the first place.

Cops did not do a proper investigation and the judge green-lighted it.

It is all on the JUDGE or possibly a magistrate who approved a faulty warrant.

The judge failed the poor woman. FIRE him.

Then sue Clearview for big bucks.

I applaud Carter for trying to rescue our hostages in 1979.

So sad to see our military failed so badly. The plan seemed conceivable...

Yet outrageous. The distance to Tehran so far.

Sometimes you got to do something. Even if against all odds.

Surely there are some shipping expenses though? For Global Oil.

Versus the Colonial Pipeline that is prevalent on the Eastern Half of US.

I agree. Why is domestic oil linked to global oil price?

We are energy independent? Big Oil is milking US.

I have just experienced this.They raised HR exec up to VP level so they could investigate another VP to ultimately fire them.

Then once the BAD VP was fired the owner fired the HR VP and the the replacement was not a VP.

Not really. Most all companies have Binding Arbitration built into employment contracts.

What lawyer wants to have their pay limited thusly?

You can hire your own lawyer for the proceedings but no jackpot payouts in arbitration.

That argument went out the door when the last administration chose to open the borders.

We have laws against that. But they were ignored.
