I just read the article about amplituhedrons, which say that space and time are but an illusion. Saturn, space, time, gravity etc. may all be illusions.
Just as the State will destroy DNA evidence that can exonerate prisoners already put to death - to prevent "undermining of the death penalty system", drones rain down down terror on largely innocent populations and bystanders - in the name of the war on terror, now the NSA is seeking to persecute Snowden for espionage, theft and conversion of Government property (data) - data which revealed that the NSA is doing exactly those things on as large a scale as their technology allows.
Justice, liberty, privacy, peace and security are but fuel for the State's burning ambition for supremacy.
Oh, 2 years ago a kid suffered face-to-face and online bullying and did away with themselves. So now ALL kids should be supervised by a parent when online, perhaps until age 12. That will help!
Then since the bullying was face to face as well, parents should also supervise face to face meetings with other kids.
Quite a few parents are in fact themselves monstrous bullies, and some even kill their kids or their kids commit suicide after suffering all kinds of abuses at their hands. I conclude that parents should be supervised when they are supervising kids under the age of 12. Adults entrusted with supervising kids, such as Catholic priests, schoolteachers and ex criminals also require supervision when they are with kids.
Let's all go supervise each other!
" If court orders are legitimate, why should we allow engineers to design services that protect users against court-ordered access?"
All engineers should independently get their service designs certified to be free of protections against all possible (presumably future) court access orders. To enable compliance the courts should publish (in a gazette) a list of all the future access orders?
Or engineers might henceforth be designing services that courts CAN get access to but other third parties CANNOT. This is only possible if all certified service users register their "passwords" with a trusted federal authority, say the NSA. there would be the added advantage of having your data backed up at Wikileaks.
