Yet another problem for US projects to "rebuild Afghanistan": the Afghan thugs and soldiers used force, imprisonment and threats to squeeze money out of workers and companies.

This is aside from the projects that were pure corruption or totally useless.

The bully's Just-Us department is supporting a lawsuit to eliminate Obama's medical care plan. I suppose they have reason to believe the Supreme Court would vote for this.

Barr's summary of Mueller's report is misleading on several important points.

Don't say Trump is exonerated. It's too soon for that.

People report demonstrating empirically that their phone apps are listening to their conversations.

The only truly trustworthy way to stop this is to make sure that only free software can get data from the microphone.

New speed cameras work by recording the license number of each car that passes two different cameras, and calculating the average speed between them.

I think it is wrong in principle to have robots enforce laws against humans. But unless the system forgets about each license number that doesn't get fined, it is doing something even worse: massive surveillance.

Having the camera check for details of the driver's behavior is nastier still. Eating or drinking while driving is safe enough, except for special situations.

I fear it can also recognize faces.
