  1. Re:I thought this was common knowledge? on Canadian Police Have Had BlackBerry's Global Decryption Key Since 2010 (vice.com) · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Read between the lines on the articles about the Blackberry. They already replaced the general key with one controlled by his handlers in the NSA.

    You're probably just talking, however if you could actually achieve a recall vote over this issue it would be an amazing. Even if she managed to remain, it would stop support for related measures for years. If you managed to replace her (one agreed, mostly left, pro encryption wing candidate - right wing pro encryption people agree to stay out) encryption would end as a political issue.

    It's worth a try. Does anyone know what the procedure for a recall is?

  3. Re:As if... on All-Female Ridesharing To Debut In Boston (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that some number of the so-called transgender/transsexuals that identify as female are sexual predators. Some people might have legitimate needs for sexual reassignment surgery (such as inter-sexed people), but there's some number of people with other mental problems that want to dress up as women or become them.

    If some of those people become drivers, there could be problems.

    There are also a number of born females who are sexual predators. The actual safety in any scheme like this comes from appropriate background checks and monitoring which work the same independently of the sex and gender of the people involved. Any incidents of assault will normally be rare enough to just ignore, especially compared to real concerns like traffic accidents. This scheme is all about perception.

    Why are you assholes ruining this site? Go back to Reddit.

    WTF. She is excellent. We've had hardly anyone on site making random death threats for ages. Take a beer, eat some popcorn. Be polite. Or don't.

  5. Re:Corporate data grab on Microsoft and HackerRank Add a Live Code Editor Into Bing · · Score: 1

    Not tin foily at all. If they scrub the Internet, they could be in violation of a bunch of ToSs on the sites they scrub. You can be sure that if anybody with lawyers found out MS was violating a ToS they'd be all in to those deep pockets. I think the well analogy is apt.

    Interesting point. I hope everyone will be anonymously (via tor; from an isolated virtual machine; in your secret bunker; under your monther's basement) submitting random bits of AGPLv3 protected code for evaluation by this service. This could be fun.
