  1. I dont believe in an internet where you need blessing from a third party to participate.100% HTTPS as the system is currently implemented is outright folly. Let me easily self-sign and ill be more on-board.

  2. ITs not about CPU usage. Certs add a huge administration overhead, and need to be maintained. A static webpage with some contact info does not need HTTPS. Further, i REALLY dont like the idea that is starting to shape up that if you dont have a cert, you shouldnt be on the web. HTTPS is a tool for SOME jobs, not all HTTP, everywhere. That is just plain retarded. I shouldnt have to get permission from a third party to run a dead simple webpage. There ABSOLUTELY 100% are reasons to not need HTTPS. You are a fool.

    Historically, the press is called 'The Fourth Estate' and they are considered a crucial part of any democracy. While you are correct it is not codified in law, it is a thing that simply cannot be ignored either.

    "The Fourth Estate (or fourth power) is a segment of society that wields an indirect but significant influence on society even though it is not a formally recognized part of the political system.[1] The most commonly recognized part of the fourth estate is the news media, or press." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Ostensibly, it is 100% illegal to require id to buy a gun while the 2nd Amendment stands. Quite simply the federal government doesnt have the power to deny me. However fools like you allow them to overstep.

    So the only person that doesnt have a copy of your emails is you. good plan.....Its like when i erase my call history on my phone, all im really doing is denying myself access to it, not anyone else.

    Men have primary sexual traits that go beyond appearance. Wealth, stature, power are all more important than looks for a man.

  11. Yes, they still take a bit to open on my a6000. From what i understand its basically a whole different firmware being loaded. I used them until i got a raspberry Pi Zero W. Now i just use Gphoto2 to get those same effects and trigger the camera through terminal on my phone.

  12. Thee ability to use a made up name in any kind of transaction is quickly coming to an end. They want everyone in their own tiny little container. The price you see will be based on some arbitrary score related to your profile, with no actual connection to cost. We are in the era of straight up wealth extraction.

  13. IF this happened to me, i would also be locked out of the 'apps' on my Sony camera. (they offer apps that can do things in-camera that would normally take a full workstation to accomplish). I regret ever linking those accounts.

    There is no reason a tablet should not be able to handle a full life-cycle of email, which includes arbitrary export. Stop making excuses for how poorly Apple thinks of its users that they cant even provide these options.

    How do you download and store your email on a tablet? How do you archive them and zip them up? O wait, you dont. You access it like a mainframe and have no local anything. We are back to mainframes, greeeeeeaaaattt. Your argument would be better if the Ipad went back to the mac directly instead of routing through Cupertino first.

  18. The problem is your voice command requires a login to work. It has a massive platform weight just to get to that point. You give up a huge amount of personal information as payment for that convenience vs plugging a simple http request at a server.

    Driving is sort of a right in that the government owns all the roads, so it has a duty to make sure roads are accessible and to not make it an undue burden. WE maintain the fiction that its a privilege, but it does butt up agasint the freedom of movement clause. If push came to shove, driving is more a right than not.

  20. Re:Read what they said on Google Will Stop Reading Your Emails For Gmail Ads (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Google sent me an email the other day telling me that it was going to start adding events to my calendar from ALL emails. They were telling me they were literally going to fill my calendar with spam appointments. I was auto-opted in and this would be be my only notification of it. How can you trust a calendar you cant explicitly control? I imagine a future where people show up to events they didnt sign up for simply because some spammer sent them a properly formatted email.

    Google is useful until it isnt. Dont fall in love with this 'feature', it will be used to spam you
