They have some legitimate reasons, like the fact that in a multicultural society every group wants to dominate every other, and terrorism is a good way.
You have a point; preventing radical Christians from blowing up abortion clinics, flying airplanes into IRS buildings, etc. is a good idea. But I'm not sure it excuses something like National Security Letters.
What is this fucking obsession with making phones thinner? I want a phone that's sturdy. I wouldn't mind my phone being two or even three times as thick, if it could have double or triple the battery life. What I don't want is a fragile, dainty phone that's going to snap in half if I hold it the wrong way. Who is asking for thinner phones?
Apparently there must be some tax liability the IRS believes you incur simply by holding Bitcoin
Holding alone, doubtful. I bet they're interested in people who bought Bitcoin, saw it appreciate greatly in value, and then used it to make direct purchases.
Suppose you bought 100BTC in January 2015 at $200/BTC, then last month when the value hit $700/BTC, you used your 100BTC to buy a $70,000 BMW. You realized a $50,000 in profit on your initial investment, of course the IRS would love to know about it.
I don't understand why you don't put your SSN in your sig. That information is being stored indefinitely by the government, your bank, and your doctor's office, and it's being shared with God knows who. For some reason you're OK with that, but you don't give it out to everyone? Very strange.
The tweets captured by the firehose are public anyway.
Are you certain of that? I know I've come across Twitter accounts that are set to "Followers Only," where the tweets they post are absolutely not available to the public. Are those tweets demonstrably not included in the full take that Datminr gets?
I got the funds back, but BofA said there was no way to prevent this from happening again.
They're right, the ECH transfer process operates on faith and trust. A merchant can initiate a draft against anyone's checking account, and there aren't really any safeguards once you have access to the system.
They aren't beholden to Wall Street shareholders. Credit unions reinvest any profits back into the credit union itself, typically this manifests itself as better interests rates (lower rates on loans, higher earnings on CDs etc) for members. Compare to a bank where they have to meet Wall Street expectations by fucking over their customers.
If I put up a community message board, and someone posts a discriminatory ad on it, have I "caused to be made" that ad
No, because you didn't induce anyone to put something illegal up there.
The "cause to be" clause is there to prevent someone from escaping culpability on a technicality because they personally didn't make, print, or publish the ad. A scumbag landlord can't use the defense of "Your Honor, I hired a designer to make that ad, and the newspaper is the one who printed and published it, therefore I'm not guilty." That isn't going to fly, because the scumbag landlord hired the designer (caused the ad to be made) and paid to run it in the paper (caused it to be printed and published).
Dramatic Undercover Footage Shows Clinton Operatives Admit To Inciting "Anarchy" At Trump Rallies
From the same guy, James O'Keefe, who brought us "Undercover Footage Shows Planned Parenthood Operatives Selling Baby Parts." Give me a break. The guy has made a career of faking videos, has been sued over his fake videos and lost, has been convicted of attempting to wiretap a politician. His name removes any credibility the video might have had.
It's like "well, I'm on the wrong, but fortunately there are lots of stupid guys on the world... maybe if I talk BS some will fall for it... let's try, what's there to lose?"
Twitter (and Youtube and others) only care about censoring the Christian and secular right wing. They do not censor Islamists, who are part of the extreme right by any reasonable measure. The left (and now more and more also the mainstream) defend them even as they try to silence the conventional secular/Christian right wing in America or western Europe, often silencing them precisely due to their criticism of the Islamic right wing.
What in the world are you talking about? Which Christians or right wingers are being censored on Twitter? And before you trot out Milo, who was banned for posting racist garbage to a black woman's Twitter feed, keep in mind he wasn't censored for being a Christian or a right winger, he was banned for being an asshole.

I see, so your position is that all Muslims are extremists. I don't have to live in San Francisco to call that for what it is, bigotry. As for the ones who are extremists - and Christianity has them too, as we just saw once again in Kansas - there can be enormous intelligence value in keeping their Twitter accounts active. Twitter occasionally purges of thousands of extremist accounts at a time, but I strongly suspect that's only after they've been told by NSA/CIA/etc that those accounts are no longer worth monitoring.
The new owners would have to decide whether or not to dissociate themselves from Anita Sarkeesian, an irrational, misandrist, anti-free speech lunatic whom Twitter should never have put in a position of power.
On this, we agree. She shouldn't be in charge of anything more influential than her own breakfast.

You're a year late, hoverboards are old and busted. Do you have any Tickle Me Elmos?
Yeah! Why don't these losers just stroll over to the Job Forest, where jobs grow on trees in wondrous abundance?
Thank you for subscribing to Human Facts!
Did you know? A human female is born with all the eggs she'll ever have during her lifetime. That means that you, dear AC, were technically halfway into the world while your mother was still in your grandmother's womb!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's installment of Human Facts, "Why Natalie Portman may calcify but won't ever petrify."
I love the song "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple. Does that make me a space nutter?

Watery risotto. Just wait, they'll be doing 7 congressional investigations into that recipe.

They should call it a tracking pad, because you can bet they'll be spying on that, too.

This wasn't an attack on DNS, it was an attack on all transit into and out of Liberia.
Back Date a couple of certificates ? Don't charge? Compete with another free certificate authority?
You are seriously understating the pattern of behavior on WoSign's part that led to this decision. (Comodo is no better IMO.)
So, it appears ProPublica may have violated the Fair Housing Act by placing this ad.
How's that? ProPublica didn't place an ad for housing, they placed an ad for a public speaking event.

WikiLeaks are the ones who made that tweet, so as per usual, they were only smearing themselves.
I'm more bemused that days after the attack, all of Twitter's eggs are still in Dyn's basket.

I guess anyone with brain cells at Twitter got kicked out in the recent layoffs.
Speeding is a statutory offense; intent is not required, and lack thereof is not a defense.
Level3 has been going down more than OP's grandma lately. That's less likely a DDoS and more likely yet another fucked-up configuration deployment.
