    It would be unfortunate if PC backfires and results in releasing the bad guys it was intended to catch.

    Which is why it was a dumb idea to break the rules in the first place.

    Yes absolutely correct. If the cops show themselves to be untrustworthy, then the whole law enforcement chain of evidence falls apart. This is the elephant in the room for the supreme court decision earlier this year, in which they ruled that police could stop and search somebody based on an "anonymous tip". And yet the law enforcement has been proven to sanction and encourage PC (part of the FBI docs earlier, in which LEOs got access to NSA data, was a manual saying the cops should use PC so they don't have to reveal the FBI/CIA program in court).

    the situation is analogous to the poor dudes in gitmo. Everybody knows they're not terrorists, yet because they were seized illegally there's no way for the justice system to process them. but the military doesn't want to just set them free, because certain parts of the country and certain news channels would flip out. So they just sit in jail and wait, while becoming terrorists. wouldn't you?

    the team behind it only intends to take and analyze eight samples in two years, which translates to two samples from each of the four units it will visit during its extended mission.

    What about telling those people who get shot every year not to stand in front of a killer wiht a gun?

    Quite frankly - if someone is getting shot every year, I would have no problem telling him he's probably not making the best choices.

    at the very least if they survive annual attacks it's hard to keep calling the attacker a killer

    Making copies is not stealing.

    setting aside matters of law (in which copying IS stealing in some contexts whether you think it's right or wrong)... from an ethical perspective, I would say that hacking into someone's private account and downloading their shizz is stealing.

    seriously. this guy made a product that everybody finds useful. it is now the default choice. Good for this guy and his hard work. he should make bank for his efforts; everybody else in SV is doing it. if some rich benefactor feels strongly enough that this should be managed by a foundation, then he or she can drop a several $m to buy this guy out and open it up. Or, perhaps the community cares enough to crowdsource some cash, but that's unlikely. The alternative choice is that oracle buys this guy's shizz and assimilates it into the borg collective.

    This is a common fallacy for poorly educated Americans and others: while much of huge world lives in "unsanitary conditions", that doesn't mean what it thinks it means. It doesn't mean people are unhygienic, I.e. They don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. It means the water is poopy and the food is spoiled. There' little to no preventative medical care, making people susceptible to disease, and there's too much overcrowding. This is how diseases like cholera and Ebola spread.

    This screen is just right for a retina iMac (2x in vertical and horizontal). 5k sounds like a lot of pix, but it's still just 206px/in. This brings large screens into quality parity with phone and tablet screens.
