  1. Re:Private meeting on Silicon Valley Execs Will Meet on Wednesday To Discuss Privacy (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Silicon Valley Execs like their privacy; it's yours they have a problem with.

    Like, the FBI saying, "We'll make sure Hillary wins".

    That wasn't the FBI. That was only a few agents that were investigating her.

    One of whom was the head of the FBI.

    Nothing to see here, folks, nevermind the man behind the curtain...

    It's more likely that they receive a tax abatement.

  4. +1 to Apple sending DMCA/CFAA notices to police departments across the nation...

  5. Also, GreyShift is an Israeli company, and historically the US government kowtows to Israel like nobody's-fucking-business.

  6. After 20 years, they can have my data.

  7. But it wasn't illegal to use personal servers for government related email. It only became policy after Hillary left office

    Then why, in his original testimony to Congress, did Comey specifically state that Clinton did break the law? He chose not to pursue the case because, in his opinion, she had no intent to commit those felonies, but he did, very specifically, state that she committed them.

    I guess maybe he was referring to the willful destruction of evidence in an ongoing investigation, a la interns with phones and hammers?

  8. >that would be murder,

    At what point is the murder justified if you save thousands of lives with it?

    After the fact.

    If you killed Hitler before he did anything wrong, there'd be no justifiable reason to kill Hitler.

  9. No it's still illegal because it circumvents the FOIA laws. That was the reason Clinton set that server up in the first place - so she could decide which emails would be preserved.

    How so? The email sent from his FBI account, to his Gmail account circumvented the FOIA laws because magically the sent email was not retained and preserved?

    Really?

    > fwds official email from gov't account to personal

    > now has original sender's address in personal email address book

    > send all future communications from personal address, using personal email address book.

    Pretty simple.

    Rural cops tend to be poorly trained, have an inbred culture (hired because of family), and no media oversight.

    ... and yet, most shootings are committed by urban cops.

    Maybe you're just a bigot.

    Taxes are an operating expense; profit is what's left after all operating expenses are accounted for, and only accounts for a portion of corporate income.

    What was the company's total income for FY2017? That would give you a more accurate figure on what they actually paid in taxes.

    If I was going to say something stupid and patently false, I'd probably post as A/C as well.

    For the same reason, Amazon can get up and move two towns over and absolutely destroy Seattle's economy by cutting the economic feeding tube. This is why we are, at times, nice to really, really, really huge businesses: the symbiotic relationship forms a one-way dependence.

    That's parasitism, not symbiosis. Symbiosis is, by definition, 2 way.

    I think I prefer "oh we see the issue, we'll fix it real quick and you don't have to do crap, except park next to some Wi-Fi."

    I imagine that response is not all too comforting for the people who already died because of the mistake.

    You guys have done a great job of proving my point - Tesla appears to have a layer of "fanboi protection" that other manufacturers do not.

    There was a whole thread last time about how the idea of a firmware update improving the braking was just an absurd idea.

    It is absurd, they should have done more quality testing before releasing the car publicly.

    Can you imagine the fallout if Ford or Chevy had to recall an entire line because of a deadly programming error? The lawsuits would be endless...

    OP said "of all electricity produced" by those two countries, not what they actually used. Fun fact, some countries produce more energy than they use so they can sell it to other countries.

    His math may be off (haven't checked), but yours is on another planet alltogether.
