The current system means Joe Schmoe needs a mag stripe card and writing hardware. If he wants to be discreet, he needs a magstripe card from the hotel.
With a cellphone system, you write with software and you don't have to be sneaky about using a phone that looks different from the phones of all the other guests / obtain a phone that looks the same. There's no physical trace that you've done anything.
It's using it's own, encrypted, secure channel that happens to be accessible from my phone. So it's handled by NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, the cell radio, the speakers, or the display, in that order of likelihood.
The communication channel is the least of their worries, however. With only a little bit of effort, these can all be implemented more securely than magstrip cards.
The problem is that it'll all be accessible by an internet-connected PC at the front desk, allowing a remote (or local) attacker to create a master key on their phone, no magstripe hardware needed.
Read the amendment, shitwick. Not only does it apply to speech, it applies to the explicitly to the press, enabling them to both get the news and tell the news, regardless of what the government wants.
The second amendment does not say "in order to maintain a well regulated militia". There is no constraining clause at all. There is a justifying phrase. Whether or not you think that justifying phrase applies today or not makes no difference. That clause does not constrain the amendment in any way. nor is it in anyway a prerequisite of the amendment.
The Supreme Court has allowed a lot of bullshit, yes. Just because they're in a position of authority doesn't make them correct.
I see this a lot among nerds trying to think too hard - they conflate theory with practice.
If surveillance solves problems, then that's it. You don't need to worry about what "might" happen.
Nerds need to figure out that life isn't based on theory. This is why they think the NSA is a bad thing, when most REAL people think they're fine and performing a public service.
The nerds need to go out in the real world more to discover how society behaves, instead of hanging out behind their computers conjecturing on how society is.
When I shit in your mouth, would you prefer my balls to be on your chin or on your nose?
You do for what the person I replied to was talking about.
Running, for one. Not having to carry a phone is useful. Yes, there are hundreds of fitness trackers. Why not a multi-purpose tracker that also lets me reply to the wife?

You still have to have the phone on you. The watch talks to the phone.
You don't know what "break the law" means. A warrant does not allow you to do that. Search and seizure with a valid warrant is in accordance with the law, not in violation of it. A warrant does not excuse you from breaking search and seizure laws, nor any other law.
The handout to the employee enables the corporation to employ workers at a lower rate, and without it they could not -- they would be forced to pay more because their workers would die at the rates they paid them.
The hypothetical handout to the corporation might get it to pay more, but not only would it not be required to, it could have paid that extra money without the handout.
It follows exactly as much as "A government handout to an employee is the same as a government handout to his employer, who doesn't have to pay him as much." does.
The hypothetical handout to the corporation might get it to pay more, but not only would it not be required to, it could have paid that extra money without the handout.
The handout to the employee might get the corporation to pay less (to the employee), but not only would it not be required to, it could have paid less without the handout (to the employee).
Logic isn't your strong suit. Handouts to low-income workers enable employers to pay lower wages in the exact same way that handouts to employers allow them to pay more. Neither handout forces the behavior.
A government handout to an employee is the same as a government handout to his employer, who doesn't have to pay him as much.
By that logic, a government handout to a corporation is the same as a government handout to its employees, who can receive more pay due to reduced overheads.
We quadrupled the number of infections, we have tens of thousands exposed, we have businesses closed due to exposure, we have states enacting their own quarantine protocols, etc. Keep on trying, though.
And when someone searches or seizes your property without a warrant is it not illegal? You are defeated by your own statement, however I will add the definition which further defeats you.
warrant wôrnt,wärnt/Submit noun 1. a document issued by a legal or government official authorizing the police or some other body to make an arrest, search premises, or carry out some other action relating to the administration of justice.
I think you needed to look up the definition, notice the last part.
Your "logic" is the biggest fail I've seen today. Search and seizure without a warrant is illegal. Obtaining a warrant allows you to engage in search and seizure. It does not allow you to otherwise break the law, such as by committing fraud, criminal trespass, etc. Then there's the whole issue of serving the warrant.
Does anyone know where I can order some high-quality clown shoes, preferably with some amount of customization options?
I'd like to starting mailing pairs of bright, ostentatious clown shoes to idiots who fuck up royally. Everything from shit like this to politicians who stay stupid shit or get caught lying and cheating to Ubisoft and Microsoft dicking around with shitty parity clauses.
...leaving you with many identical abc.dll files spread throughout the storage system. Not sure I like this. Ideally I would love file versioning with diffs, but that's just unobtainable.
Windows has attempted to do this with WinSxS. Every fucking thing in the world installs its own versions of shit and the WinSxS folder allegedly keeps track (and copies) of what shit uses what version of other shit. This has been in place since Vista. The other options are DLL hell or every application shipping with everything it needs to run.
The firehose is a relic of when Slashdot was Slashot. I am convinced that up/down voting articles on the firehose does nothing and that the only things that make it to the front page are things the "editors" manually push out. I don't even see the tags on stories anymore. I can click the + or - to reveal a set of tags and then click to set them, but I never see the tags other users set and I don't have the ability to create my own tags any longer.
What is it with liberals hammering away at people they don't agree with?
Even otherwise "perfect" liberals such as Bill Maher are threatened with censorship for daring to speak against received wisdom.
Is there any group more intolerant than self-professed "tolerant" liberals?
This story (which doesn't belong on Slashdot) has nothing to do with liberal hypocrisy regarding "tolerance" (which is pervasive). The state is (correctly) saying they can't get tax rebates if they discriminate applicants/employees on the basis of religion.

People are also "what"s. All things are "what"s, and everything is a thing.
"Homosexual relationships are by definition sodomy"
This simply isn't true. Two famous homosexuals; Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward, apparently found the idea of penetration appalling.
Sodomy does not mean anal sex. Sodomy refers what went down in Sodom.

Do none of the other smart watches require to be charged?
How is this a problem restricted to Apple?
Because the Apple Watch is the only one that is expected to sell well. (Not because it's better, but because it's Apple.)

this is literally being built in my grandparents' backyard, directly behind their property
If it's behind their property, then it's not literally being built in their back yard. It's being built on someone else's property.
It's not relevant. Slashdot is shit.
