Yes you're right they can still walk through the door with a warrant and demand the key but that forces them to be far more targeted in their investigations.
I don't think anybody likes drones except perhaps the people who build them. However, I'm really upset with the idiots who even think about pointing a weapon up in the sky -- or aiming a laser, for that matter -- in a misguided attempt to fight the spread of drones. There are *people* flying overhead all the time in aircraft both small and large, and there's no way to tell which aircraft is manned and which isn't
If can tell the species of duck I'm calling at several hundred yards, I'm pretty sure that I can tell a Predator from a Cessna Skyhawk from an A300, you insensitive clod.
I don't like it when people go duck hunting without being careful not to point their weapons anywhere near a family cruising along in their Cessna.
OK, now you're just being fucking stupid. Duck hunters shoot down Cessna's? When? I've never hunted Cessna's but I can tell you for sure that a load of #4 steel shot isn't going to bring one down.
Christianity teaches that one should respect and obey authority as long as it does not conflict with the commonly agreed upon tenents of the bible.* This is not generally a bad thing.
Well there's your problem. There are no "commonly agreed upon tenents" (no tenets, either) in the christian bible. Self-proclaimed christians seem to be free to pick and choose whichever ones strike their fancy or help them rationalize their fear and ignorance.
"Scarce dollars"? There has been literally trillions of dollars poured into public education over the past 50 years, An absolutely insane amount of money is still being spent - but the quality continues to decline. Anyone who cares about education needs to get this through their head - *money does not solve this problem*. The issue is lack of standards, lack of quality teachers, and endless ivory-tower meddling in the educational process. None of those are solved by money.
Yes, scarce, but that's rather beside the point of TFA. So are "quality teachers" and 'ivory-tower meddling" (whatever the fuck that is). TFA seems to make a case for spending more wisely, like buying teaching materials that actually work, or more fundamentally, becoming aware that the data to guide such purchases even exists. Such lack of awareness is inexcusable, but clearly, it is pervasive. How's about we work on that problem instead of parroting the same tired shit you hear on Faux News?
Where did they get the frequency allocation? If it was here in the USA, all available channels would have been put out for bid by the FCC and snapped up by the incumbents. Running a system on "their" channels would be frowned upon.
Two words for you, Junior: "pirate radio". Now get off my lawn and learn about Mexico's long and noble history of giving the finger to the FCC and other reguladores.
If you start handing out grants based on all that sciency stuff, you end up with a bunch scientists telling you things you don't want to hear, like the truth about the causes of global warming. Can't have that now, can we?
So, this woman is very successful at class action suits. So, she has made millions of dollars herself, getting back pennies on the dollar for those who were actually harmed. And Uber is the claimed crook?
Yes, because Uber actually is (it appears) a crook. Your mistake is in assuming that class action lawsuits are the proper vehicle for individuals to recover damages. They are not. They are, however, a marvelously effective way for a group of those individuals, who would otherwise be unable to mount a serious legal challenge, to collectively hit back in a meaningful (expensive to the respondent) way. In other words, the successful CA lawsuit against Uber will make them treat their employees fairly, instead of cheating them out of a large portion of the money they are due.
I am not on the side of the US government, but I will politely disagree with this statement. Yes, there is corruption (currently I'm thinking more about police here). However, I am over 50 years old and I have yet to run into a situation dealing with the government (at any level) where I actually had to pay bribes to get them to do their jobs.
Not true! Corporate America pays some very handsome bribes in order to have their bidding done. Your petty needs are easy to meet, at least insofar as it makes you feel like you are being adequately served.
Amazon provides availability zones you can provision separate instances storage and networks in.
If your application cannot survive the failure of an instance and the failure of an entire availability zone,
then you don't have HA, and Amazon won't give it to you...
Not for free, they won't, but you most certainly can buy an HA solution from them.
But that's the problem. *THEY* (i.e., AWS or whoever) are supposed to take care of all that stuff.
They are, if you pay for "all that stuff". If you only pay for some of that stuff, you don't get HA.
They're supposed to worry about "uptime" and fixing things when they break and having redundant systems that kick in when something breaks so that there's no loss of service.
Again, AWS does "worry" about such things, and yes, they do have systems in place so that there's no loss of service - for customers who have purchased that level of service.
But I thought the whole point of the cloud was that everything included redundancy, so a server, or a cable, or a whole datacentre could go down, and because of real time replication, nothing whatever would be missed.
Or am I just thinking of VAXclusters from, you know, the 1980s.
Well, that (VAX clusters) or the suite of services that AWS offers that would have prevented such an outage from affecting those customers who chose to utilize them. If you haven't deployed your stuff in multiple availability zones, along with the pieces that are required to tie that together into an HA stack, you don't get "the cloud". Why, oh why, does every article about every outage affecting a single AWS zone fail to mention this?
Most of the stuff that is ad-supported is crap. At best they are things that I might pay for, if they were not cluttered with ads and riddled with attempts to violate my privacy. Read that again, IAB. I would _pay_ for good content. No, not as much as you think, but pay I would. No, not for crap, but for useful content. Figure it out. There's a way to make money off of me. Spying on me isn't it.
The problem is that much of the existing data were collected in an ad hoc manner that reflects the lack of planning for stability operations following both invasions.
With each generation the prior generation of technology often looks ad hoc or patched together. Given that these operations were handled by no-bid contractors, engaged by an administration rife with corruption and crony capitalism, it's no surprise that the data was handled poorly by today's standards.
I do not think that, but I do think that the House and Senate are even more to blame. They wrote the laws and passed them, complete with a raft of deal-sweeteners attached, knowing that no sane POTUS would veto something that "protects us from teh terrorists".

Hasn't yet, so WTF are you on about?
And yet the sheeple just keep bending over and taking it.
Exactly. Has anyone actually thought about what might happen if you are actually able to shoot one from the sky?
Yes, most of us have. Congratulations on being so totally whooshed.

Those are some very alarming statements, but they would be much more compelling if you provided, you know, some credible citations. Just sayin'...

Sucks to be you, mate.

But I submit that seeing to it that children, especially girls, receive a proper (i.e. secular) education would go even further.
