If this sort of surveillance had been used against the founders, they would have taken steps to prevent the newly-formed government from doing the same thing, just like they did on a number of others issues that they faced at the time, and since the spirit of the constitution is what matters, that's really what's relevant.
So what did they do against the Alien and Sedition Acts?
That the (S)NES and Genesis can output RGB via modding doesn't change the fact that game developers did use the artifacts from the composite output and the CRT to do what the GP mentioned.
Way to not address my points. You've simply repeated your assertion. Why would any bank finance a car loan without insurance? That would be monumentally stupid.
Why would finance companies and state governments not still require you to carry insurance? No finance company is going to give you a car loan and not require you to insure it. Your post is hilariously naïve.
Oh and the insurance companies are hugely greater in size than car dealerships. Car dealers are chumps in comparison.
Accidents and injuries have been decreasing for more than a decade. And yet you're still required to have insurance both by financing companies and state governments.
There is absolutely zero reason to believe that finance companies and state governments will not still require insurance even when cars are automated.
Since when did being a politician or running a corporation ever have a prerequisite of having a moral fiber? Political corruption goes as far back as the first governments. Same with corrupt corporations.
Even the "classical" Western democracies and republics had rampant corruption. It's more "ironic" that you think having a moral fiber was ever regular.
If you stopped standing near the line trying to shoulder surf their PINs you wouldn't see so many.
Hurr hurr.
That's poor design of the hardware, not the software. When you have to figure out where the magstripe is on the card and then where the reader is so you get the right orientation, you're bound to get it wrong.
I was referring to both hardware and software in my comment. I've seen on numerous occasions a checkers having to help the person not only to swipe but which options to push in order to finish all the payment steps. And, yes, it is poor design. That was my entire point. The person I responded to said these were "intuitive" yet I've seen numerous people (not even just elderly people) struggle to use them.
The ATMs I use that have a simple slot to push the card into, I never get wrong. Card comes out of wallet with me holding the end that goes into the machine last. Very simple.
That's great for you. Plenty of people still have problems with them.
That's interesting because I see people on a daily basis fumbling with the debit/credit machines at checkouts. Even with basic things like swiping their cards. A big pain point is also becaue each one for each store chain has to be different in unnecessary and inconvenient ways.
Everyone knew this would happen eventually. No one listened to the chicken littles that were screaming "the sky is falling!" every year for more than a decade.
The statement is talking about if you only write pure Swift. What you describe is really no different than using C code with Java through JNI. But that does not mean Java itself has any C baggage.
If your language runtime has a bug instead, it's much more likely to be a very indirect one, because now not only do you likely have to cause a specific behavior in the program itself, but that behavior has to trip up the runtime in a way that causes that bug to lead to something bad.
Yeah and? Has that stopped all the exploits of the Flash runtime and the Sun/Oracle JVM? Nope. In fact, those two are among the most exploited pieces of userspace software on the OS.
So if C is so bad why should we trust the languages that are implemented in it? You do realize that most of these "safe" languages are written in C, right?

No he also mentioned the NSA LOVEINT abuses.
Yes, and they were slapped down by Congress via the Church Commission for doing what they did in the 60s.

Doesn't really matter though, you can't charge somebody for bandwidth used to move data, only the bandwidth the end user used.
Says who?

I was talking about China as was the person I responded to. And just to correct myself, apparently 3 years ago they stopped executing people for it.

And they'll even execute you for non-violent offenses like not paying your taxes.
Way to not address my points. You've simply repeated your assertion. Why would any bank finance a car loan without insurance? That would be monumentally stupid.
If you were financing car loans would you do so without requiring it be insured? That would be an extremely dumb thing not to do.
Why would finance companies and state governments not still require you to carry insurance? No finance company is going to give you a car loan and not require you to insure it. Your post is hilariously naïve.

Do unicorns and flying pigs exist in that fantasy world, too?
And the government requires it to be on the road.
Hahahahahahahahaha. No, they won't. They will keep themselves around through lobbying efforts.

Why is this dumb post modded insightful? You can still use all the same languages you did before.
And thay changes things, how? C++ allows all the same "unsafe" things as C does. Have you ever used C++ before?

And all these vaunted "safer languages" are written in... C.
