Heh, nowadays it's probably just tap water from Flint...
The thing is that as the quality of tap water goes down, people are going to buy bottled water even if it's only slightly "better". It's big business, and the industry is frequently allowed to draw millions of gallons from drought stricken areas.
The bottled water industry will be pleased as drinkable tap becomes more scarce all over the US. This is just part of the process. Maintaining a clean water supply is too difficult and expensive. So instead of raising the price, which is totally unjustifiable anyway, it's far easier to let the quality slip.
I don't consider the law. I am only talking about being compelled to do anything at all. There is no reason to allow the state, or anybody else to do that.
Your opinion is noted. I can only say that's a horrible analogy, but carry on.
For everybody else, some cars are more dangerous that others. I would recommend you don't drive them. In some places (Flint, Michigan, maybe, possibly?) the water is poison. Anyone who says to drink it anyway.. well, let's just say wouldn't be very nice. Spoiled food? I hope that goes without saying, but in today's world you never know, considering this last response I received above.
If you're dead, or going to die soon, vote the republican (he who shall not be named) for president. If you prefer to to kick the can down to your grandkids or great grandkids, vote democrat. You will get destruction either way. One is just faster than the other.
That appears to be part of the problem. Not only does it stand out like the proverbial sore thumb, only the people who feel a real need are using it, making it easy to spot. We need something that blends in better, so we don't have to consider the percentage of people using it. The only thing that comes to mind for now is that steganography thing, and don't try to hide anything more complex than tiny text files.
Once again, Tor is proven to be insecure. No social engineering is needed. Which means that more secure tools are needed. That is the direction to move in.
Until you read the link, I can only take your comments as mere offtopic trolling, not a serious thought in the lot. At the same time I also can understand why you are scared of it and will stick to your infantile petulance. This is SOP for your type, and explains perfectly your political proclivities that you put up on such magnificent display these last few days. Like minds(being very generous there), and all that... Your vote and general demeanor are a perfect match, indistinguishable from one another.
I'm fine with that. Exposing actual flaws is always a good thing. The reasons aren't important. It just means we have to do better. I feel the same about publicly available encryption in general. I don't believe it is secure beyond what the script kiddies can do. And even the hardware itself is pretty leaky. So, just like the old days, the Sunday classifieds are still the best way to get a message out.The idea of *trust no one* is as old as the hills. Some things will never change, no matter how glitzy the tech. On the other hand there are burner phones and email, effectively one time pads, there is a future there until you need a fake ID to buy them. And maybe the miracle of 3D printed electronics has potential also. Just have to wait and see.
I can destroy the phone without having to think twice. I doubt very much I would blow up my house for the same purpose. The cops can do that. And no, I will never invite an on duty cop into my house, even with the warrant. They can talk through the screen door, which they will have to open themselves if they want in. The minute you invite them, the warrant issue is moot and they can tear the whole place up and shoot the dog, and probably you if you even flinch. The trust is gone until we reform our system and demand adequate oversight. It's not really an argument anymore.
I hope you're right. A derivatives market crash could trigger a big demand for another taxpayer financed bailout that will be much larger than the last one. *Too big to fail/prosecute* is still a thing.
Just checking. Censorship is a big problem that requires a technical solution to render the philosophical BS moot. I would like to see more energy dedicated toward that end instead of the endless circle jerk that will fill the thread on whether we should.
This is no different than an order to produce blood/cheek swab or even passwords.
No, it's way different. With the burnt chip there is no evidence. That is the intention, and is what I would do to protect myself. I can have a backup buried elsewhere behind a "secret panel". There is no reason to grant the state undue advantage, they can go suck on it. The law is far too fickle to give blind obedience. Leave the armchair philosophy at home please.
Given the choice between destruction of evidence or facing much more serious prison time on trumped up charges (even if you plead out). Picking the lesser charge is the way to go. I don't see any point on philosophizing on the matter when simple math will do.
Not the ones that cashed out. They knew what would happen. Deciding when was the tricky part. All these unicorns out there might crash the entire market real good this fall. It's the new "sub-prime" thing. Here's lookin' at you, Uber..
Best to get out in AugustSeptember and reenter in December/January to pick up the pieces real cheap. Even if the market doesn't crash, it will take its usual election year dip, so there's still money to be made.
Exactly. I am very disappointed that people think it's okay to compel anyone to assist in any way one's own prosecution, so, to get around that issue and avoid the philosophical bullshit, a panic button or a preset timer would be very nice. Something that actually fries the chip inside, just to be sure. The worst they can charge you with then is destruction of evidence, which might be a hell of a lot better than the original indictment.
I hope you're not advocating censorship also.. When mass media becomes the emperor's lapdog we have a problem that needs a solution. If social media, even with all its blemishes, has to fill in, all the better. Now we just need a way to make the connection more robust, so that nobody can block anything.

We have a choice, people. Choose wisely.
Let goooo...
You better call your guru and tell him you forgot your mantra.
I may (or may not) leave the last word to you, as you are merely becoming tiresome and repetitious.
I think that has been superseded.
Overall the Chinese design is way behind the times. I can't tell if they're just trying to be different or what.
I also like how China is dealing with its smog problem by keeping it indoors
Darling, I give you very best duck

You are in a monkey trap... Let go....

140 is a waste. I think 4 is enough, 7 max
You can't trust anybody, not even Tor. I'm afraid this one looks like a lost cause. I wouldn't use the damn thing.
