That ship sailed long ago and the iPhone still remains popular.
The iPhone is by far the most popular model with people over 40. They are more likely to have the disposable income, it's seen as a safe option by people who know little about smartphones and who aren't too dedicated to fashion etc.
Most of these people will probably be working with other organisations to help them implement basic security or run some automated security scans against their networks. Many will also be on social media, something like the Russian Internet Research Agency.
After the Snowden leaks anyone with any morals of conscience would have to ask themselves if they could work for GCHQ. This is an organization that wilfully, systematically broke the law for at least a decade and continues to do so. What little we know of their operation is unimpressive and suggests only moderate effectiveness, which the need for a further 2000 staff seems to confirm.
Presumably there will be consequences for her too, although being a child perhaps less severe than the people who took advantage of her.
That's how the law works most places. Children can't consent to all sorts of things, and it's generally up to adults to avoid asking them to. There have been cases where the child was deceptive and the adult is considered the victim, and he may be able to argue that here.
If he did specifically look for a 17 year old and then took photos he is guilty of making child pornography in Texas. 17 is the age of consent, but it's 18 for making porn.
Isn't the issue that a mostly plastic gun won't set off typical metal detectors?
And to answer the GP, while 3D printers at fiddly now they have come a long way in a short time, and it's reasonable to expect them to continue improving. An interesting comparison would be colour scanners and printers and Photoshop, which have software which detects bank notes to counter forgery.
I'm this case though it's looking like there is a lot of compelling evidence. Accounts on sugar daddy web sites, CCTV footage of him going to and from the hotel room with the underage girl, her identification of intimate tattoos...
It could all be fabricated I guess but unless they are lying about having this evidence it doesn't seem like an Assange style fix up.
Did you make this same argument when they wanted to break up AT&T? Did it work out that way?
I suppose to be fair the government does listen to your phone calls via the NSA, but only secretly and illegally and they do it to all social media as well already.
The best solution would be to mandate data sharing and portability. If my friend wants to use Facebook and I want Bookface then they should talk to each other and we should be able to communicate.
Make it like email, where you can choose your provider more or less freely.
And when they say social networks are too big and need to be broken up, are they really including Google Plus in that category.
I mean, I'm sure the Google Plus guys and their 3 users are flattered, but three is an odd number and can't be broken up fairly. I bet they didn't think of that.
Every sizeable under represented group at the polls leans left. Doing almost anything to improve participation helps the democrats.
So either you decide voting should have lower participation because that helps the republicans, or you prefer a more representative democracy in principle.
So basically you think that trying to get people who might vote democrat to vote is a bad thing and in the interests of democracy fewer people should actually participate.
The memo you link to doesn't support your conclusion.
Google tried to get Spanish speakers out to vote with Spanish language tools. No admission it was too help Clinton, in fact the memo is careful to remind readers that Google made efforts to be non-partisan with the information it provided.
Trying to get more people to vote probably did help Clinton, because most people who don't vote (because of apathy or suppression or lack of information) are Democrat voters, but that's democracy for you. You can't seriously be arguing that fewer people should vote just because they might vote the wrong way.
That's what happens when you have location based services turned on, like the default local weather display in the Google launcher. Try turning that off and run the test again.
Tens of megahertz... pffft, some of my best code runs at 0.25MHz to save power, or 0.03MHz for ultra low power.
Seriously though, back in the day an Amiga with 10MHz CPU (no FPU, no cache, no brand prediction or out of order execution etc.) could run some amazing desktop apps in 512k. Stuff that actually puts modern apps to shame for usability.
But the price we paid for that was that the OS had no memory protection or and the filesystem could easily become corrupted. There was no virtual memory either so if you ran out of RAM you were often in quite deep trouble.
I try to find some joy in teaching people things and seeing them improve. It can be frustrating when you tell them they should organize their code better for the third time, but even then you can look at it as a sign you need to show them how because they apparently have no idea.
Then you get the longer term payoff of seeing your work come to fruition, and your colleges are usually grateful for your help and acknowledge your skills.
I see you didn't read TFA. It actually only contains one new quite from Linus that just reiterates what he said in his email, and largely isn't about him. It's quite sympathetic too.
Actually I didn't need to see you mis-characterize the NY's article, because the rest of your post is full of anti-progressive memes that have little to do with the reality of this situation.
Google pioneered the technique with Recaptcha. It looks at things like mouse movements, browser metrics and timing info, installed font lists, all sorts of stuff.
Unfortunately it breaks quite easily with things like RDP. If you have an RDP session and a VPN you are basically fucked, doomed to solve 10-20 captachs before you can access the site. It's got a little better recently, but still doesn't like things you you using a less popular browser.
In Europe you can see your credit report for free. There used to be a small charge allowed by law, but now I believe it's free EU wide. Certainly it is in the UK.

It's about control. Data sharing is good as long as the owner of the data, i.e. you, controls the process.
It's mostly GCHQ listening in...

Someone who knows more about this than me should write an RFC for social media data interchange.

The sugar daddy site should be in trouble too.
In my experience anyone who trusts the police quickly charges their mind after the first interaction with them.
If he did specifically look for a 17 year old and then took photos he is guilty of making child pornography in Texas. 17 is the age of consent, but it's 18 for making porn.

Why though?
Because she was a crook? But Trump is much worse, he has a track record of scamming and illegal discrimination.
Because they didn't think she was qualified? Trump has proven his financial incompetence.
Because they didn't like her? Hell of a thing to elect that buffoon just because of you don't like her personality.
There is no point trying to rationalize it.
Thought about it and decided not to. What kind of Orwellian thought crime are you accusing them of?
