Linus is usually right, it's just he says the right thing in the way which makes him sound like the largest asshole possible. Personally I find it refreshing.
Bad development choices and programs which are able to be misconfigured are bugs. Examples of this are choices not to use https for a login page - it's a bug in the implementation, or a config file which allows you to forgo a certification+keypair - which implies the underlying program lacks the means to prevent you from running it with that setting in place or is too lazy to generate some on the fly as needed. All security holes are bugs, they mostly revolve around imparting some degree of trust to the end user (or administrator,) but as any security professional knows you never trust a user, even if they have admin rights.
I control my DJI drone with my burner phone, not my primary device. There is nothing on it for them to steal.
Except anything said in conversation around the device, images it points at, photos your drone takes, GIS information based on the drone flying around mapping your neighborhood, etc. If WW3 rolls around you're basically painting your house for a potential invasion site, since they already have detailed maps of your area.
Shill? You are asking about what back doors they added. The source code to git is available to anyone. So if that is a real question and not just a lazy attempt to troll, read the source and report back.
How about you read the post you're responding to, where it says what the backdoor is?
International relations are the jurisdiction of the government, not the local courts. It's the same as it ever has been: the country with the biggest military makes the rules. If someone from another nation is poisoning wells in your outlying region and you have a big enough military you go push their shit in, if not you suck it up because you can't do anything. An attempt at international courts or courts which act over international boundaries is just an attempt to usurp US authority. Our tax dollars paid for the internet, our corporations built out the internet, our nation owns the internet. Others are free to make their own (because we shared the technology,) they aren't free to dictate what we do on it. Anyone saying otherwise is either an actual traitor or a foreigner who's opinion is irrelevant.
The press release doesn't seem nearly as cool as the summary suggests (though the press release says it as well.) The photos show some sparse channels, not an interconnected vein-like network, and most certainly not enough to show that the material wouldn't weaken over time. All it really appears to show is that Helium shoots through unabated, perhaps without losing enough momentum to even save the next material. Seems like a useful shielding if thick enough but then again so is anything, and it would be much cooler if it actually formed veins than it would be in any fusion-related research (nano materials which have vein-like structures could open the door to whole new types of diodes, microfluidic and MEMS devices - but this is basically "we shot some stuff and it made holes.")
Oh boy I'm so looking forward to the invention of the steam engine but not before they unveil the Spinning Jenny. Seriously what the fuck are you talking about?
All the "breakthrough" tech coming out in the realm of quantum mechanics and such today was discovered in the 60's. The black projects run by the government are so far beyond the science known in the civilian world it's absurd. It might help if you look up the definition of the term "black project" and find the associated (known) budgets (i.e. missing money.) Take all the scientific funding from every nation combined over the last several decades, now multiply it by about 10. That's the difference between the civilian sciences and the black budget sciences (monetarily at least, probably a bit more since the civilian side keeps retracing the black project side.)
That a company in one nation can even utilize the laws of another country against a company residing within it is just wrong. This is everything wrong with globalism. It's bad enough having multiple states where someone across the country can have a say in anything impacting your life, but across national boundaries is just beyond corrupt.
It's easier to keep the black projects secret when you don't teach people the history leading up to them and just let them relive the same 20-40 years of technological development over and over again.
I'd go as far as to say giving the user the option is too much. Just make the data collection illegal outright. The average user is too stupid not to give away their information for access to the most inane of platforms and unfortunately herd immunity is a thing in digital privacy as much as it is in vaccines. If 95% of people are too dim to be trusted with securing their own privacy they will give it up, then the remaining 5% who aren't are stuck with it because it is more cost effective to find ways to make them need the platform in question than it is to give up the profits from selling their data. Users can never be trusted in any regard, not even in securing their own privacy.
You don't reach Stallman-levels of famous by being sane and rational, you do it by being the personification of an idea. All extreme views are fundamentally retarded, and for that reason all famous people are retarded. They are useful as talking points of an ideology but not much else, all working systems have compromise.
In the past, it certainly drove surveillance. Now it's the cloud driving surveillance (especially since Windows 10 is always tied into one.) Google tracks the pages you view, Facebook does the same plus uploads conversations on your phone to the cloud, the Google Home and Amazon Echo record constantly, etc. Surveillance might happen in closed source non-cloud-based apps, but those are a drop in the ocean at this point.
Nope, he's a marketing shill who excels at sucking down corporate welfare. After he threw a shitfit over Trump and huffed out of the room Trump cut off his welfare stipends and he's in the red all around. In turn he's doubling down on the hype in the hope that the public demands he get his welfare back, for the greater good.
As it is right now, re-fueling takes about 15-30 minutes of time off of a driver's clock. By the time the tanks are filled, mirrors and windshields cleaned, and other miscellaneous activities, an appreciable amount of time gets burned. Truck drivers constantly race against their 14 hour drive window.
By the time this thing hits the market en mass you'll have all the time in the world, because they'll be automated and you'll be unemployed.

True, but I can think of many developers who build in security problems due to ineptitude. Ignorance is not an excuse.
Ineptitude is a bug. The resolution just involves a hammer to the face instead of an IDE.
Bad development choices and programs which are able to be misconfigured are bugs. Examples of this are choices not to use https for a login page - it's a bug in the implementation, or a config file which allows you to forgo a certification+keypair - which implies the underlying program lacks the means to prevent you from running it with that setting in place or is too lazy to generate some on the fly as needed.

The black market is one of the most high value sectors in the world. Those chose Bitcoin as their currency, so it has an enormous value.
And I've been in software development for about 2 decades. I've gotten more done the last year and a half than the decade prior combined.

This isn't a Trump thing, this is a congress thing, i.e. a bunch of #nevertrump traitor RINOs trying to fuck things up. The senate version is better.
What a lazy attempt to shill. Looks like the same thing they did to corrupt Skype by changing it from a distributed system to a central repository.
Right, you have no argument so just passively aggressively insult the opposition. You don't even have balls.
So what backdoors did they manage to stick in the upstream version of the Git source?
This will never happen.
I don't disagree, if the world were capable of being the way it should be it wouldn't be such a shithole to begin with.

You do realize the overwhelming majority of the 1% are liberals, right? Oh, you just ignored that for your strawman? Got it.
