This seems like a pretty huge deal (if true). Hopefully someone puts out some proof or the US government was already monitoring their communications.

Obama might pull an LBJ and decide publishing that sort of thing would be absolutely horrible to the political system. It's an interesting question whether LBJ was right and whether Obama would be.

Well we know the latter was happening at one point, John Brennan had a meltdown at the senate committee the other day when called on that bullshit. But gently caress the US Gov spying on political organizations, no way in hell that ends well

I was thinking more in the context of monitoring all outgoing communications to Iran and probably most communications in and out of Iran to other countries, sure they probably did it in person somewhere but who knows. I'm hopeful they've got proof somewhere but the Iranians lie about poo poo all the time.

I'm hopeful they've got proof somewhere but the Iranians lie about poo poo all the time. If someone is monitoring all Iran's foreign communications, it's almost certainly the NSA. The NSA never releases any information about intercepted communications to the public, nor would they be believed if they did.

Considering atm it looks like the DOJ is looking to use him as a sacrificial lamb for pharma industry fuckery, it's amusing that he thinks he'd even have the opportunity to do a university speaking tour any time soon.

NHTSA has ruled that the computer of a self driving car is the driver for design purposes. What this means - a ton of regulations about vehicle design and safety are about the assumption a person is in the driving seat - headlight brightness, steering wheel placement, seat location, etc. this imposes design constraints (eg the headlights have to provide a specific degree of visibility to a given distance, this the lamps need to be a certain size and strength, which influences frontal design, which plays into things like force dissipation and aerodynamics and frame and etc) If NHTSA had held the person inside was the driver, those constraints would still be in place, which imposes a lot of rules on the designers - basically they'd need to build 2 systems to control the car, one for people, one for the computer, and have to deal with the headache as a result (eg fitting in a lidar system as well as those headlights) But they held that the computer is the driver, which relaxes (eg those headlights now just need to provide enough to alert other drivers that the car is oncoming) resizes (eg the headlight rule was meant to be able to detect what was so far in front of you at such amount of darkness so you could stop or swerve within X distance, now the lidar system needs to be able to do that) or removes (bye bye steering wheel) some of those constraints Not as exciting as electoral stuff, but important going forward!

A family member told me: "the housing market collapse happened because banks were forced to give mortgages to minorities even if they saw they couldn't afford it." What can I point to in order to refute that claim?

Good news! For Hillary!!!quote:A new report reveals that State Department investigators issued a subpoena to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation sometime last year. Investigators are looking for foundation projects that may have also needed approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton’s term as secretary of state, according to the Washington Post.

So here's a weird question I first thought about during the 2008 election of the Socialist Muslim Kenyan Devil Obama that's crossing my mind again because candidates like Trump and Clinton are so divisive and so vehemently despised by small groups without and within their parties: what the heck happens if a candidate for office is assassinated during the election? Does their running mate step in? Is there any official process for what's supposed to happen? It's kind of an interesting scenario to consider, especially in terms of how it would affect voters and voting.

Massasoit posted:A family member told me: Not according to the nonpartisan government investigation: quote:. It's also worth noting that despite the CRA, banks were continuing to redline. quote:Studies have shown that blacks and Latinos were twice as likely to have been affected by the housing crisis as white borrowers, largely for the reasons Bernanke outlined. Many minority borrowers were pushed into riskier, more expensive subprime loans even though they qualified for lower-interest prime mortgages. Subprime loans, which can add $100,000 to the price over the life of the mortgage, were given to 30.9 percent of Latinos and 41.5 percent of blacks, compared to just 17.8 percent of whites.
