And of course his counter-argument, not that I buy into it, is that the encrypt-everything group is acting like children, pouting and shouting "won't" like Abdullah with Tintin. It IS a sea-change -- the ability of law enforcement to conduct these sorts of investigations, which they've done since the founding of the country, is being closed device by device. Did you think they wouldn't fight back? In their mind, the right to absolute privacy, which hasn't existed before, does not override their right to conduct well-regulated(*) surveillance. In our mind, it does.
(*) Yeah, I know, 'well-regulated' is laughable, which is why we're in this mess at all.
And if law enforcement had been as virtuous as they claim to be, we could trust them and ubiquitous strong encryption would not be necessary to defend our rights. The courts, politicians, and voters have aided and abetted this as well so cannot be trusted either.
We can have an adult conversation when James Comey stops being a scoundrel.
20 years ago we also did not have the unregulated militia succeed where the government failed in preventing an attack but I do not see them pushing for organizing the unregulated militia. If anything, they are pushing the opposite.
Is civil assets forfeiture the same kind of bargain? What about the Wickard v. Filburn bargain? (interstate = intrastate) Or the Kelo v. City of New London bargain? (public = private) And how about the GFSZA bargain that prevents the States from recognizing licensed concealed carry from other States and prevents all legal unlicensed carry?
Fuck your bargain James Comey, fuck your FBI, and fuck your government. Die in a fire.
"Use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains SpaceX, which has been determined to cause death in laboratory animals except if you land in California in which case it causes cancer."
SpaceX has thoroughly demolished the claims of SSTO fans that reuse and low cost are somehow incompatible with staging. With an aluminum-bodied, pure-rocket launch system using simple kerosene-burning rocket engines, SpaceX has accomplished the bulk of what Skylon promises to one day achieve with its supertech air-breathing engines, liquid hydrogen fuel, eggshell-thin ceramic heat shielding, etc.
Let NASA manage this and I bet they can prove the opposite after a few test flights.

I stopped storing archival data on USB Flash drives a couple years ago when I found that brand new drives all suffered from bit rot after not much more than a year. My oldest CDs and DVDs going back 10+ years still have no lost data.
Right. If only those assholes in the 1950s would have designed a perfect system without the benefit of 60 years of hindsight and iterative process improvement, and without the 60 years of improved understanding of nuclear physics, and 60 years of improved tools. You know, like computers actually existing now instead of doing the whole fucking thing on blue paper and chalkboards with a slide rule.
Or if they had taken into account that the chance of failure of the individual backup power systems would not be independent for one of the major catastrophes they were suppose to design against.
The subprime mortgage crisis was caused by the same issue showing that 60 years of hindsight is not enough.
Why is why those cleaning products have labels on them that say "do not mix with any other cleaning product".
They used to at least have to list active and inactive ingredients in rough order of composition but over the past decade, the government must have accepted a bribe because that is no longer a requirement. This makes it difficult to find for instance an acidic bathroom cleaner for dealing with hard water deposits.
With these figures, you will have one thousand false alarms for every one terrorist you catch! I.e. a completely unusable system, that will drown their users in false alarms.
If they did this in the US, there would be no false alarms because all of the suspect would resist arrest and most would be killed while resisting arrest.
Humans have a terrible instinct when it comes to entropy in data and therefore need to be guided in choosing a password. This often results in a check for length(which is a good thing), but also requirements for capitals, numbers and special characters(which is often used poorly).
The humans who are poor at math are terrible anyway however most password strength meters are just as bad if not worse.
I use a random number generator to create hexadecimal passwords assuming that each character is worth 4 bits of entropy. So with 128 bits or more of entropy in my password, guess how many password strength meters say it is too weak - all of them.
Is this basically what hacking groups do? Are they just collecting a huge inventory of bugs by constantly banging on these devices every possible way they can?
They also infiltrate their targets and introduce exploits they can take advantage of. The NIST is a good example. Or they might pay the target to include the exploit like with RSA.

Cup holders have been largely deprecated and replaced with USB Flash drives which make terrible cup holders.

But here we are talking about someone flying a drone within range of a shotgun loaded with birdshot.
Is the standard they can fly the drone anywhere unless it hits her nose?
And make sure the NSA controls the committee like they did with IPSEC. They would never take advantage of such an opportunity.
All they have to do is accept the NSA as a client and there will be no reported exploits.
So is making false statements or concealing information but I do not see Clinton getting the Martha Stewart treatment.
What is the limiting factor? Buildup of CO2?
Just put a warning label on the side:

Then you ultimately select for people who it does not work on.
If you persuade people to not have children or have children later, then you select for people who are not persuadable.

The 30-hour groups would receive the same benefits as 40-hour-a-week employees but less pay, Amazon said.
It's right there in the summary. These employees will be getting benefits.
For now.
So when they ask me shit like "What elementary school did you go to?", I put something like, "Jm36*gdt22(ILD$".
