If you have a backdoor, a key, or some other way to get into other peoples computers/device/files, then no matter how hard you try to keep it secret, it will eventually leak and become common knowledge, and be abused. (Assuming the original owner/discoverer wasn't already abusing it as well.)
This is why no security developer in the world that's worth even one molecule of salt will ever allow a backdoor or master key.
And hey, these guys now have a chunk of the NSA trove of nasty tricks, so even going blackmarket (not like they could sell it aboveboard) is bound to net them several million, assuming they don't get caught/shot beforehand.
Just because the majority of your populace is rather close to the shared border with the US is no reason to emulate the inappropriate activities of some of our people. You are supposed to be above that. (Damn stereotypes, even when they are good ones, they still cause problems...);)
So requiring the police to follow the law is "weakening law enforcement"? How does not wanting people to break the law make it weaker? Please remember that hollywood movies have little or nothing to do with reality, especially when dealing with the action genre.
It either won't reduce the mosquito issue, or it will collapse the mosquito population and have a cascade effect on all the animals that rely on them, and those that rely on the previous ones, and so on. Other than that, really nothing can go wrong. They are genetically modified to be unable to successfully reproduce. (And if somebody says "Life will find a way", since that would require it actually surviving to a new generation, I will hunt you down and beat you to extinction with a T-Rex bone to prove the point!) (Yeah, ok, I don't actually hurt anyone, but I hope you found the comment humorous / humerus since extinction proves the quote isn't true in the first place.)
You just have to do a rollback on procedures and get a warrant, then install a wiretap on the phone itself. Of course, with modern smartphones, that would most likely be a secret app.
Is it just that you don't want to give up the ease and lack of oversight on push button eavesdropping and stingray mass interceptions?
I doubt it's an issue regarding the cost of developing a police smartphone eavesdropper app, after all, those stingrays aren't cheap and I'm betting you have at least one of those.
There have been other studies that came to similar conclusions. Apparently the higher the pay goes, it hits a maximum performance incentive, then causes a negative effect as it continues to climb. Short version, most American CEOs are paid WAY more than would be optimal.
Of course, if you are using a voice lock on something that opens with you saying, "Alibaba was a fool", and they try to force you to say that to the lock to open it, I doubt anyone would consider that anything other than being forced to give up your password and open your locked items. After all, it's not the existence of the voice/fingerprint/password/key, it's the being forced to provide it for unlocking purposes that's F'd up.
Of course if they're fishing for proof because they only have suspicions, I would think they'd find it very hard to convict you of something they have no proof of. (I wouldn't put it past them to try, after all, they have before, but that's an uphill battle even for them.)
Technically you already don't own your real estate, you just rent it from the government. Don't believe me? Try not paying your property tax for a few years and see what happens.
LoL. That may be an apt comparison, but we definitely know something is going on, and dark matter seems the most likely explanation. All this failure to detect really means is that several of the suspected types of dark matter are definitely not there, so now that have to look for the others. Either they'll find those, or fail to find them and someone will have to figure what less likely thing is causing those effects we've definitely seen that we thought was caused by dark matter.
It's kind of like the ball and cup game, except we get to keep looking without reshuffling the cups. Eventually we'll find it, even if it's in somebodies pocket.
Let's face it, your candidate sucks balls/ass/dick/like a $2 whore/whatever! They're all liars and politicians. One small caveat. Trump isn't a politician, he's a wannabe politician, which I rate even worse than an actual politician, but even if you don't, it's certainly in no way better.
You wanna get upset and flame and troll and vent? I don't care, just realize that if you resort to name calling or making unverifiable or flatly false statements, you will be called out for it and prove yourself an unthinking fool for all the internet to know.
If you stick to actual facts, I for one won't fault you for that. Facts are facts. But the B.S. flying around is really just making this whole place like a trailer park getting hit with a tornado that just went through the sewage plant. After all, you're supposed to be intelligent geeks, not foaming at the mouth rabid political sheep.
Just so you know, I shall now ignore all threads on this subject now, as I expect the only thing that will be posted in reply to mine are either agreements, or more likely more rabid foam & spittle from the toxic sheep. Thanks for reading.
The US definitely has a pretty backwards infrastructure. It's slow to pick up the new improvements, and even slower to deploy them. I'd just about swear that in some areas it's actually gotten worse.
Any data or communication service that is limited by time availability is a scam and totally unreasonable by any consumer expectations. Of course they are 24 hours a day every day as anything else would hunted down with pitchforks and torches.
I like your data plan. What country, and do I actually have to live there to get it? (Yeah, I know, of course you have to live in the coverage area, but I can dream can't I?)
Then their network is substandard and can't handle the bandwidth they allow their customers to employ on a daily basis. Not the customers fault. Nor is it the customers fault when the data provider oversells their capacity.
One company (forget which it was) tried to throttle it's unlimited users if they exceeded a certain hidden threshold. They'd throttle it so hard even a basic page of text took a minute or more to load. Someone calculated it out, and if you hit their secret ceiling (which people found out by analysing results), you got throttled down so far, you couldn't even reach the same amount that could be downloaded in a month on the cheaper non-unlimited accounts even with constant downloads. I think it went to court, (I know they threw lawyers and papers at each other at least.)
I was rather hoping I could buy a block of those student loans gone to collection for mere cents on the c-notes. Specifically one with anything from my family. Then I could 'forgive' all of it, including those of my family, ask for donations from the forgiven and anyone else afterwards, and if there's enough, do it for another block. (There's a reason why some from my family may be in there, we're too damn poor to pay it, much less play Santa Clause without resources.) Rinse, Repeat, Rack up Karma.:)
Maybe it's not a perfect solution, but I'm pretty sure it would make a LOT of people happy. (Especially me.)
Oh well. At this point is seems about as likely as winning the lottery. (Odds would be *slightly* better if I bought a ticket.)

I can't think of any other way to describe this kind of B.S. than Government Theft.

Really? It seems a lot of 'conservatives' have in the past found ways to avoid military service, even when the draft was active.
I suspect it's more likely Bills scrotum.
The US definitely has a pretty backwards infrastructure. It's slow to pick up the new improvements, and even slower to deploy them. I'd just about swear that in some areas it's actually gotten worse.
It was definitely possible in the US, and don't ask.

I think I would mod you up if I had points at the moment.

No such thing as 'common sense'. Besides, in the viewpoint of most of those users, they didn't do anything even remotely unreasonable.

I'm pretty sure you've never been to the UK outside of a drug induced hallucination. ;)
