@#75 ... I'd suggest building public housing as well,...

Is that the real solution to the cause of the problem, or just yet another band-aid applied to the symptom?

In other words, if you want to resolve a problem, the best approach is to tackle the cause of the problem.

All I see from you are mostly "not in my backyard" solutions.

... A woman is suing Microsoft and two major U.S. sex toy retailers with claims that their websites are tracking users without their consent, despite promising they wouldn't do that.

In a complaint filed on June 25 in the Northern District of California, San Francisco resident Stella Tatola claims that Babeland and Good Vibrations"both owned by Barnaby Ltd., LLC"allowed Microsoft to see what visitors to their websites searched for and bought.

"Unbeknownst to Plaintiff and other Barnaby website users, and constituting the ultimate violation of privacy, Barnaby allows an undisclosed third-party, Microsoft, to intercept, read, and utilize for commercial gain consumers' private information about their sexual practices and preferences, gleaned from their activity on Barnaby's websites," the complaint states. "This information includes but is not limited to product searches and purchase initiations, as well as the consumer's unique Microsoft identifier."

The complaint claims that Good Vibrations and Babeland sites have installed trackers using Microsoft's Clarity software, which does "recording in real time," and tracks users' mouse movements, clicks or taps, scrolls, and site navigation.

Microsoft says on the Clarity site that it "processes a massive amount of anonymous data around user behavior to gain insights and improve machine learning models that power many of our products and services."

"By allowing undisclosed third party Microsoft to eavesdrop and intercept users' PPSI in such a manner"including their sexual orientation, preferences, and desires, among other highly sensitive, protected information"Barnaby violates its Privacy Policies, which state it will never share such information with third parties," the complaint states. ...

@#3 ... As far as tampering with the video goes, these body cameras are routinely used as evidence. ...

Yup.

That is m concern.

Do you want a bank robber to own the security video within a bank?

Police tampering with the video evidence they control seems to be an appropriate description.

If the police want to earn the confidence of the public they serve, then I would say that such videos should be owned by some manner of a third party.

@#4 ... This article is good but poverty rate is increasing now a days and we want to meet to gather and make the planning on end of poverty ...

For starters, welcome to this most august site upon your alias' first day of posting.

Secondarily, do try to stay on topic with the thread topic.

:)

@#15 ...Dems need to carry the national polls by +3-4% to win an election. ...

Really?

That 3-4% is usually within the margin of error for polls.

If the Dems want to win, to the point it is likely assured by the Electoral College, my view is that they need a 10% margin in the general election pools.

@#18 ... Let's bring some actual data to this discussion: ...

OK, let's, but without the editorial comment.

Oh wait, that stipulation seems to negate your comment.

... Further, we have had anywhere between 10-19M illegals enter the country ...

Maybe your current alias should criticize the red-state employers who seem to employ those folk?

And, thank-you for the links your current alias provides in the comment.

But do they really bolster the case your current alias presents?

If so, how?

Will the RR's respond accordingly, and monitor the status of their equipment more closely?

But to your point...

@#12 ... The reality is that Biden should face the 25th amendment and step down NOW ...

In your reality, what is the justification for that?

... I suspect we will see Trump open up a +3%-5% national lead within a week ...

So, still mostly within the margin of error of the polls.

@#7 ... Not true at all. PFAS are becoming an issue at the State regulatory level. ...

Yeah.

And, also to the comment you are replying to, GE's PCBs are still an issue.

GE's PCBs may not be headlines, but the reporting is still with us.

For starters, see my #2.

Another example, less than a year old...

@#6 ... I am pretty sure they did animal studies on the materials ...

"I am pretty sure..."

So, you got nothing besides what you might want to believe?

What else yer got?

Links would be helpful.

thx.

@#16 .. Imagine thinking it's Trump that lies and not the media and Democrats ...

So... what's yer got for that assertion?

Is your alias denying that fmr Pres Trump is a serial liar?

Yer up.

Cool.

I hope it is successful!

... The on-demand microtransit service called "GBT Connect" is launching in Trumbull on July 1. It is sponsored by the state Department of Transportation.

"The microtransit service is a shared ride, on-demand service that will operate within the borders of the town of Trumbull from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days per week," said Steven DeMichele, planning and service development officer at the Greater Bridgeport Transit.

Rides cost $4 and residents can order a ride or make a reservation on the program's website and mobile app.

DeMichele said the program will start off with three vehicles, and GBT will later assess if more are needed based on the response the program gets from the community.

"We can respond to that pretty rapidly," he said. "The overall idea is to provide grater access to public transportation in the community." ...

@#8 ... Any time that power is taken away from unelected bureaucrats is a win for 'We The People...

Have you really thought that assertion through?

My guess would be, "no."

But I await your reply.

@#9 ... and let me say this. I'm not a racist ...

Did I say you were?

Why do you seem to be so defensive on that?

I was only talking about the news talking about racist comment.

Then, out of nowhere, you say, "...and let me say this. I'm not a racist ..."

Wow.

Sometimes, denial may be an admission.

How many times has fmr Pres Trump denied he was a racist?

@#1 ... Authorities froze frames of the video where a running Nyah Mway appears to point the gun at the pursuing officers. Police also edited the video to insert a red circle around the weapon to show it to viewers. ...

Yeah, this is a main concern of mine regarding the video taken by police body cameras.

At this point, my opinion is that it is like allowing bank robbers to edit the video that was taken during their alleged crime.

The possession of police body camera video should not be in the control of the police or those in the chain of command of the police.

... The teen was killed a little after 10 p.m. Friday in Utica after officers in the city about 240 miles (400 kilometers) northwest of Manhattan stopped two youths in connection with an armed robbery investigation, police said.

The youths, both 13, matched the descriptions of the robbery suspects and were in the same area at around the same time the day after, police said. One was also walking in the road, a violation of state traffic law.

The body camera video released by police captures an officer saying he needs to pat them down to ensure they don't have any weapons in their possession. Immediately one of the two, identified by police as as Nyah Mway, runs away.

Authorities froze frames of the video where a running Nyah Mway appears to point the gun at the pursuing officers. Police also edited the video to insert a red circle around the weapon to show it to viewers.

The officers believed it was a handgun, police said, but it was later determined to be a replica of a Glock 17 Gen 5 handgun with a detachable magazine.

This combination of images released by the Utica Police Department shows a replica of a Glock 17 Gen 5 handgun recovered after an officer fatally shot a 13-year-old boy who had been tackled to the ground after he ran from police and pointed the replica gun at them on Friday, June 28, 2024, in Utica, N.Y. (Utica, N.Y., Police Department via AP)

"During a ground struggle" with the teen, one of the officers fired a single shot that struck the boy in the chest, Utica Police Chief Mark Williams said.

The teen was given "immediate" first aid by the officers and taken to Wynn Hospital, where he died, the chief said.

The replica gun carried by the teen "is in all aspects a realistic appearing firearm with GLOCK markings, signatures, detachable magazine, and serial numbers," Lt. Michael Curley, a police spokesperson, said via email. "However ultimately it fires only pellets or BB's."

A bystander video posted to Facebook shows one of the officers chasing after Nyah Mway and tackling him to the ground. It also shows the officer punching the teen as two other officers arrive. A gunshot rings out as the teen is on the ground and the officers quickly stand up.

The officer who fired his gun was identified as Patrick Husnay, a six-year veteran of the agency. Husnay and Officers Bryce Patterson and Andrew Citriniti were placed on administrative leave with pay. ...

... That's a drop of nine percent in the past year, according to the analysis, which found respondents were most concerned about EV reliability and cost when comparing them to their gas-guzzling counterparts.

Even more interesting is the considerable decline in the number of people who believe EVs are better for the environment than internal combustion engines. While respondents still said that environmental benefits are the best thing about EVs, only 47 percent now believe that to be the case " a 20 percent drop since 2021.

The data also suggests that enthusiasm for EVs is largely split on political grounds, with far more self-described Democrats showing interest in an EV, and a full 35 percent of self-identified Republicans believing that electric cars are actually worse for the environment than gas vehicles.

To be fair to those not convinced that EVs are an environmental benefit, there are concerns to be raised about the technology. Battery production can be incredibly environmentally destructive, and charging EVs using energy generated by fossil fuel-burning power plants doesn't exactly mean they're running clean.

Nonetheless, the data does not suggest that EVs are inherently worse for the environment.

So I asked (#42) ... ... Got specific examples, and justifications (a.k.a. links)? ..

And your reply is...

#$43 ... opinion ... a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. ...

It is good to see that you admit your comments are not based upon fact or knowledge.

@#3 ... on the CT roads ...

And i have to noted, the roads in this area of Connecticut (i.e., Fairfield County) are little more than the colonial cow-paths that have been paved over for modern times.

Stated differently, an in line with the topic at hand, the roads here are windy. Many, oh so many blind curves. Major states routes avoiding trees.

That's the problem.

Drivers do not seem to be paying attention to what is in front of them.

Is it the ~home entertainment~ dashboard display that is presented to drivers?

Or is it their phones?

I wish I know...

@#9 ... Our best bet may be to embrace the ten commandments and use it to shame the republicans that show no interest in respecting it. ...

Yeah, I'm not yet convinced that is our best bet at the moment.

At this point, I am waiting to the eventual court filing .

On the other hand, given the current Chief Justice Robert's SCOTUS, bribes seem to be more important than the Constitution.

So, there's that aspect to consider.

@#41 ... I don't ...but I do hate attempts to pervert their intent to suit a specific political ideology ...

Got specific examples, and justifications (a.k.a. links)?

@#3 ... I worked at 3M and it was well known in the 80's that people had low concentrations of the things in their bodies. There was just no data to indicate they were toxic in the concentrations people had in their system. ...
