you need to be able to keep track of one subject matter at a time. swartz is about prosecutorial overreach and retarded laws endorsed by congresscritters owned by corporations
it doesn't help the side of what is good and right to not even know what the fuck you are talking about
law enforcement frequently fucks up and is full of bad apples and must follow moronic laws and policies

good response. there is indeed obscure, difficult, fleeting, technically sophisticated, damage limited security breaches, and "oh my fucking god how could you screw up so badly" security breaches that any idiot can perform to get full access

the usa will educate rich entitled douchebags with connections. connections to more rich entitled doucehbags. that's a bubble that will collapse
and germany will educate middle class and poor highly motivated hard working smart kids
some will stay. and even if some kids leave after their education, their experience in germany will always serve as a source of contacts, goodwill towards germany, and potentially even relocation, or establishment of businesses
germany comes out ahead on many levels, short term and long term
the free market is powerful and applies in many things. but not all things. things like healthcare, education, fire departments, police departments, prisons: these have nothing to do with the free market. that the usa thinks that some of these topics are "free markets" (actually, natural monopolies is the correct economic concept) is simply a source of national weakness. i am pretty sure intelligence triumphs in the long term over blind dogmatism. so we will have universal healthcare and free/ low cost higher education in the usa in the future. you can't fool people with nonsense and wish fulfillment fantasy over simple economic facts forever. that we hobble our youth with massive debt just because they want to learn is fucking retarded in terms of national policy (or that people lose their house if they get cancer)
basically the more someone smells different than you, the more attractive they seem. but if their histocompatibility complex smells similar to yours, this might mean your children will have a lack of immunological variability, which is a weakness when fighting off disease. so you won't be attracted to them
after all, this is the point of sex: mix your genes with someone as far away from you as possible to ensure as much genetic variability as possible and therefore greatest health
everyone should marry and breed outside their race. if i were a fascist tyrant, i'd enforce this by law (i'm joking... sort of)
frequent for you. not me or many if not most other people
what you should do is if you sense someone is not returning the physical interest you have, realize it will go nowhere but frustration and nip the situation in the bud. avoid them. you cannot be friends with them. that is a dishonest representation of your interest. i am friends with females, but if i am sexually interested in a woman and she does not reciprocate, i won't remain just friends with her, i'll make excuses and avoid her. you have to. unless you like living life frustrated. i don't. do you?
the resentment you talk about can be avoided. and you should avoid it. you're wasting your time. what you complain about is not frequent at all, it is peculiar only to you and a few other unfortunate souls who don't know how to manage their social and psychological well-being
you said nothing new, you actually restated what i said. you need both physical attraction and personality compatibility. and then you tried to turn it into a weird attempt at an insult at the guy who said the same thing. weird
actually the idea is to like the looks first, then talk to her. then reject the ones you dislike based on personality
so you get physical attraction and personality compatibility. both
if you just talk to girls and find someone you're compatible with on a personality level but you don't want to have sex with because they're physically unattractive to you, the term for that is "friend" (as an aside, many, many men posting on this site probably know this zone well)
what you call shallow is actually called mate selection. if you can't get an erection, you're not going to procreate. mate selection is not friend selection. friend selection is a different topic. to not realize the difference is... shallow, ironically
you don't need to cite commonly known facts of a topic. if you are unaware of how common extreme punishment for minor drug crimes is, you're only announcing how out of touch you are on the subject
american drug laws are stupid, pointless, and insane, and have achieved zero effect. it's easy as ever to get pot
a society that prescribes brutal punishment for various minor crimes does nothing but announce its brutality. it has no effect on the crime in question
it is important to cite interesting and novel facts. it is not important to cite commonly understood and well-established facts. the stupidity and insanity of american drug laws is well-established. we're just waiting for enough nancy reagan era morons to die the fuck off so we can build a sensible drug policy: legalization of non-addictive drugs, treatment for addicts, inducements for dealers of addictive drugs to come clean. destroy the mafias by draining their income. drain their income by incentivizing healthcare for addicts and legalizing nonaddictive substances
why does a thief steal? they see it as justice for how badly they have been treated. why does a rapist rape? they think women treat them badly and they deserve it
they see it as justice
isn't that interesting? sound familiar?
"justice" taken too far is pretty much exactly the same as crime. you have a right to hit someone with your car who is pointing a gun at you. that's justice. you don't have a right to hit someone with your car who insulted your mother. that's crime. but in the eyes of the idiot behind the wheel of the car, it's "justice," it's "fair"
justice is in the eye of the beholder, and if the person thinks overreaction is justice, you have crime instead, and the feeding of more wrath and more crime. a feedback loop, amplification. a society full of people who see brutal overreaction as justice and normal, they reap what they sow: more brutality
so maybe rio and sao paulo are so corrupt and crime ridden *exactly* because it is full of so many assholes who think like you
you're the source of what you hate, your attitude. enough of people like you, and you create it
so don't read my comments. this isn't a fucking doctoral dissertation, it's a comment board. adjust your expectations
to me it's a sign of a brittle mind, to be so bothered by punctuation. it is of benefit to me and everyone else therefore to weed people like you out of the discussion
I am perfectly capable of standard punctuation. But nowadays I do all lowercase on purpose. Exactly because of comments like yours.
you don't perform justice when you become the same as the criminal
in many cases, it's what they want. validation for their own acts that you commit them as well. even if it's not what they want, you've validated them anyways
getting knifed for stepping on someone's shoe. execution on the street for taking a purse. keying a car because you don't like how someone parked: this is all "justice" worse than the crime. with your words you are basically endorsing crime. punishment worse than the crime is a crime itself. escalation is not justice
in fact, you just set yourself on the same journey that the criminal is on. from your words, in my eyes you are a criminal. or you are easily molded by your personal weakness, wrath, into becoming one
you don't defeat your enemy by becoming him
punishment must, as a rule, be less harsh than the crime. i didn't say they should get off lightly. i didn't say they should get off unpunished
But when your criminals are barbaric animals like here, only extreme punishments work
there's a word for someone who thinks like you: a barbaric animal
i don't know where you live, but you're not contradicting my point
criminals should receive punishments less harsh than their crimes. they shouldn't get off with light punishment. they shouldn't get off with no punishment
likewise, i said the punishment must be less harsh than the crime. i didn't say criminals should get off relatively easily. i won't misunderstand your comment if you don't misunderstand mine
i'm not asking if you're catholic, i'm asking you why wrath is classified as such a terrible thing
think about yourself. easy petty cruel judgment is not a good thing. it is in fact one of the most destructive things, on a societal level and a personal level. for instance you've just given me insight about how you treat yourself if you do something minor and wrong by accident, how you treat yourself. i pity you, i wouldn't want to be you
i said justice must be less harsh than the crime, i didn't say justice shouldn't exist
and if you propose punishment worse than the crime, congratulations: you're a criminal
seriously
some guy steps on my shoe. so i knife him. that's what you think justice is. it's not. that's the kind of society you want. you're not going to get it

so many internet tough guys in this thread
who will call 911 without a second thought if their house gets broken into
(cue the super duper internet tough guys and their fantasies of getting "justice" by themselves)
it's a tool. it can abused
you don't have an argument against it's use, you have an argument for monitoring of law enforcement and prosecutors
law enforcement has plenty of problems. it needs to be cleaned up of bad apples and structural stupidities
it's still orders of magnitude better than actual criminals
if you see no difference, you're only revealing yourself to be a social retard
why are you changing the topic to a situation that has absolutely nothing to do with the case and what kind of retards are voting you up?
with today's technology
as technology advances over the years, today's encryption key standard is going to be cracked in a scary short time
regardless, the topic is security exploits, back doors, hacks. not the brute forcing of a solid security implementation
good response. there is indeed obscure, difficult, fleeting, technically sophisticated, damage limited security breaches, and "oh my fucking god how could you screw up so badly" security breaches that any idiot can perform to get full access
getting the home screen after punching in a crazy long password is a really embarrassing fail on google's part
reminds me of "hacking" windows 98 security:

is nothing but a matter of time and effort. Nothing is secure. Anyone who touts how secure their software product is is in for a fall.
Software security will be a game of whack-a-mole forever.

nah
there's plenty of women who are in a bad mood/ not interested in general at the moment
no man does not get 1 and 2 on regular basis
assuming all goes well
usually it goes from sight to talking and she either
1. looks at you like in disgust like you are a toad,
2. looks at you with a mixture of fear and anger like you are a rapist,
3. or, she actually responds. then YOU run in horror at the utterly stupid crude shit coming out of her mouth
only a tiny percent makes it from sight to talking, and a tiny tiny percent of that to touch
actually the idea is to like the looks first, then talk to her. then reject the ones you dislike based on personality
so you get physical attraction and personality compatibility. both

no crime, not a single one, should be punished more heavily than the crime itself
which is what i said
which you do not understand
if you want to have conversations with imaginary positions that only exist in your head, you don't need the internet for that
i said the punishment must be less harsh than the crime. i didn't say criminals should get off easily. i didn't say they should get off free
are you retarded? you can't understand the simple meaning, what i actually said, and have to substitute another meaning that no one said?
you don't need to cite commonly known facts of a topic. if you are unaware of how common extreme punishment for minor drug crimes is, you're only announcing how out of touch you are on the subject
