  1. Re:15 minutes are up on Snowden: FBI's Claim It Can't Unlock The San Bernardino iPhone Is 'Bullshit' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The government has a very long history that shows that they are no more credible than Snowden. The entire kabuki is to convince the public that encryption is an evil tool of terrorists, and it's working.

  2. ... to learn! Try giving it a shot

  3. Re:Right to be forgotten on What Airbnb's Blockchain Authentication Proposal Means For Online Privacy (thestack.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Exactly. The concept is bullshit. But I'm sure these people would be the first to crowdfund the neuralyzer (flashy thingy), and make it a mandatory installation on all displays.

  4. I guess you take everything at face value, but from known liars?

  5. Oh please! You got all sorts of secret 'requests' and gag orders, the most obvious being the national security letters. You only know what's public. The government does not operate very publicly in these matters. The entire theater is to vilify private, secure communications in the public's mind. The government already has more than one phone that they want to break into. They are trying to make a case against encryption. And it sounds like you side with them. If that is true, I guess there's nothing to discuss.

    And you know what the FBI wants? That's pretty powerful stuff there. Those four items are a backdoor. And just because the FBI doesn't publicly reveal their desires, it doesn't mean they don't exist. You need to acknowledge precedent.

  7. what is the point of human existence?

    To dream... to love

  8. Why is it that only former and retired officials have them, and never the current ones? Pure public relations bullshit.

    Basic income and medicare for all is needed.

    Unfortunately there's just not enough demand for it.

    $1.35? Is that what a nickel is worth these days?

    Anti-bacterial hand sanitizers are not the way to go. You just get more resistant bacteria. And I believe it goes much deeper than just washing your hands. These ships are floating cesspools and fire hazards. Even the ventilation system is suspect.

    The cruise ships should get some benefits from this though.

    30 years from now, your '70s nuclear nerd ideology will be considered a fossil.

    We can always make more. We just haven't looked in all the right places. Besides that, the deepest hole we ever dug only goes about 6 miles. There's ~3994 more to go. And the key word is 'economic'. That is a term I measure in human effort. Let the machines dig it up.

    universe started, universe will end

    :-) Sure about that? Maybe you meant planet earth. As for the universe we don't have a clue.

    And I hope nobody is taking my comments as some 'pro-coal' thing. Personally, I prefer nukes. Doing it right does not have to be a big issue. Great abundance is at our fingertips in many forms.

    The fact that no Carbon was actually destroyed or created in the process is irrelevant here.

    Right, it's the balance that we change. Dominant species tend to do that to their environments. Not saying it's good, just that it's there.

    Did you know we exhale between 1.5 and 2 tons of CO2 every year? A mere 5% of that from burnt fuel, but let's all do our part, eh? A little less of this 'fitness' nonsense with all the heavy breathing. Besides, you're probably driving to the gym, so you'll be saving even more. Do the planet a favor, watch the game on TV and take a nap.
