You ask me for data, I'll give it to you. It may not be accurate, is all. Because you have given me no incentive to provide accurate data, and I don't trust you. After all, this is about coffee, not something important. You get what you could have looked up anyway.
You'd give more free information than me. No way I'd give my name with any other piece of information that is correct. If the name is correct the rest of it won't be.
As long as everyone understands that there is another price being paid (other than cash), I don't have a problem with this.
If I give them false data am I really paying with my privacy.
Where I can get away with it- I always lie when people are trying to collect information from me. I have so many fake names with so many different stores and websites I probably wouldn't recognize them all.
Does he not even recognize that ideas and discoveries by women were almost unanimously dismissed and women even prohibited from participating in scientific fields or hell, any academic field until recently?
It's very disappointing that some scientists fail to realize how drastically the world has changed in the last 100 years.
There were probably a lot of discoveries by women that were posted secretly under a man's name with the credit given to a male relative or a male employer. Look how many female novelists in the old days used to post under male pseudonyms... and that was for something as harmless as a novel.
I really wish I'd live long enough to see our species evolve past all the tendency to violence, racism, sexism, bigotry, wilful ignorance, superstitious nonsense, and all the other stupid crap that we, as a species, seem to be infected with.
Human bigotry in it's many forms won't end until the last of humanity does. I don't believe it can be done and I don't believe there is one person on this planet that doesn't harbour at least a little bigotry in one form or another. That doesn't mean we should ignore it and say it's inevitable- we need to limit it as much as possible... but it will never end.
Who cares? Good luck trying to avoid a search warrant by not cooperating.
I wouldn't try to avoid one...... unless I was being accused of a very serious crime to which I was not guilty... actually, I guess if I was guilty I'd try and not cooperate too (I just don't see myself ever guilty of a serious crime).
The term "digital search" is a bit ambiguous. (Prostate exam comes to mind) Is this really what search electronic devices is called?
The abstract above specifies what the digital search entails. Sorry, no digits on the prostate. I'm sure if you told them you had a bag of crack up your crack they might investigate- but it probably won't be from a pretty nurse.
Dear sexual predators, rapists, pedos et. al. Please don't use your stupid face or your fingerprint to lock your evidence phone. Use a looooong password. Otherwise we'll get these stupid articles every other day.
I hope people who are really guilty DO use these methods of locking their phones. I'd rather predators go to jail than slashdotters getting to avoid seeing these stories.
Or, this is why you don't advertise child porn/abuse on Craigslist.
Indeed.
Although, wrongful arrests can happen and coincidental evidence on your phone can be used against you; or something such as a joke text be misconstrued. The photo of you baby taking a bath could be said to be taken to be child porn. I don't know... all sorts of things could be used against you even if not really what they seem.
I use biometric logging on my phone... I don't do anything illegal (well besides breaking the speed limit occasionally)... I don't do anything I think could be mistaken for illegal or grey area either. So, I don't think I'm at any risk at all of being wrongfully arrested. Heck, I don't even really look black, so cops aren't going to nab me for some random offence either.
I'm still wondering whether to consider removing the biometric logging after hearing that they password and biometric are regulated differently. I doubt I'll ever be arrested, but if I ever am, I would want to hinder collection of false evidence against me the best way I could legally. If you're ever wrongfully arrested you want to protect yourself the best you can. That might include keeping your phone locked.
This is why you set a password/pin - you can be 'legally' compelled by law enforcement with nearly unlimited force to use biometric authentication, but they aren't yet allowed to force you to type in a password outside of some narrow circumstances (which are being rapidly expanded), at penalty of sitting in jail forever under contempt of court. TrueCrypt had nice partial solutions to this using hidden volumes.
I don't see the difference myself. Either they should be allowed to force you to unlock the phone or they should not be allowed to force you to unlock the phone. The method of lock shouldn't matter.
So instead they throw him in jail for contempt of court for not giving up the password when presented with a proper search warrant signed by a judge.
What's the difference?
Probably depending on how serious the crime is. In his case assuming his phone had evidence against him. His crime was way more serious than any crime for contempt of court. If they didn't have strong evidence against him otherwise- he's probably best taking the contempt of court rather than a decade in the slammer.
The skeptic in me suspects he will fail and has been paid in advance to fail by Facebook and that this is all a show to get him money and make Facebook look secure.
If I remember correctly, US law differentiates between "unsolicited" visitors and "solicited" visitors. If the mailman, a "solicited" visitor, trips and breaks his leg on your doorstep . . . he can sue you.
If a neighborhood kid, an "unsolicited" visitor, tries to pick a fight with your lawnmower . . . he can't sue you.
Is it a blanket law across the whole country- or does it vary by state and county. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't be surprised to learn is different depending on state. Kinda like, in most states you will get in trouble for shooting someone robbing your home but in Texas you can shoot anyone on your property as long as you offer them a three step headstart.
This story actually upsets me. They are cute. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see one when I was in England last month and we stayed with friends who have a nice house and garden too. Which also reminds me, a robot mower might not be such a good option for the US: a lot of backyard properties in the US are much larger than your typical suburban English garden, one might need an army of robo-mowers.
Indeed, the lawn I had growing up was considered enormous by all my friends in England. It would be considered small in the US.
Why are they only complaining about the autonomous "robot" lawnmowers? A lawnmower pushed or piloted by a human is going to bisect that hedgehog just as much as one driven by a computer. Anyone who's ever piloted a riding mower through tall grass knows that you're not going to see an object in the grass -- whether it's a small animal or an inanimate object (kids toys etc) -- until after the blades have busted it up.
Yeah, but you're not likely to mow your lawn in the dark when Hedgehogs are wandering across them.

I will provide you as accurate information as I do anywhere they ask for data about me:

I have never used a smartphone OR the Internet and I never plan to.
That's probably for the best. There are way too many mediocre news aggregator sites for nerds on the internet.
Sell your stocks in companies that specialize in taking cat photos now!

Does it not eventually lock for ever longer periods of time if you keep deliberately messing it up?
So by this weird logic "The Twilight Zone" wasn't a TV series?
Ooooh spooky twist there.
Definitely irrational. We all know that he is a stand-up guy. He is saving the Earth and humanity and stuff.
Yes, he's a bit like Jesus only not as holy.
The skeptic in me suspects he will fail and has been paid in advance to fail by Facebook and that this is all a show to get him money and make Facebook look secure.
Why am I not surprised that a Tesla blew up?
Probably because you have an (irrational) hatred of anything remotely connected to Elon Musk. :p
Did they suck off their doors, or did they blow off their doors? Editing is important.
As kinky as the Japanese are, I wouldn't be surprised if they sucked off the doors before they blew off.
"the magnetic fields were generated using a technique called electromagnetic flux-compression. "
They didn't have a flux-compensator.
I would say they probably used too big of a flux capacitor. They're lucky they didn't get sent back in time.
They didn't reach the necessary 88mph as they ran away.

Voting machines are vulnerable to attack?
Sounds a good enough reason to cast a revote on the Presidential election to me. :)

Yeah, but you're not likely to mow your lawn in the dark when Hedgehogs are wandering across them.
If a robot mower (or regular mower) hit a woodchuck, I think major repairs would be required.
How much woodchuck would a lawnmower chuck, if a lawnmower could chuck woodchuck?
