You really think that? A lot of them were born outside of what would be US. Even still what they considered does not matter, what they stated in the constitution does for that argument.
Yes and it also specifies "or US citizens at the time of independence"
There are going to be spooks out there trying to subvert any major company. Probably spooks from more than one place. They will pressure the bosses. They will pressure peons without telling the bosses. They will penetrate. They will infiltrate. They will do it to everybody. That is what spooks do.
And they'll get success more or less at random. And that's on top of all the "organic" bugs they will find and exploit.
And people move between these companies all the time.
The strangest thing about this Juniper back door is how obvious it was. Maybe it was a rookie agent.
The lesson you need to take from this is that you can't really trust anything against certain adversaries unless you built it yourself. And then you can't trust the parts. So if the spooks are your worry, you'd better defend in depth and keep off the radar.
I don't understand why their share value hasn't dropped like a stone
Except that the definition I provided would still be considered an originalist, because there is nothing in the original Constitution that contradicts it, as I mentioned. I consider myself a consitutionalist, but progressive. They are not against each other by itself.
Where I will complain about him would be more about his stance on guns and blocking inmates and the crazies from having them. That is not an originalist.
I think the argument is that the framers wouldn't have considered that his mother being a US citizen made him a 'natural born' US citizen when born outside of the USA.
Well, even as a liberal, the natural born citizen part was left up to congress, and not specifically defined in the Constitution. the current belief is that if you are eligible to be a US citizen at birth, to the criteria that defines someone as a US citizen, then you are a natural born citizen. Depending on Cruz's mothers resident status at the time, when was the last time she lived in the US prior to giving birth, he could be a natural born citizen based on that definition.
Yes thats what I meant; Cruz claims to be a constitutional 'originalist' not a liberal. Except when being an originalist doesn't suit him.
Uh, that's Cuban-Canadian... At least according to Trump and "people who are talking about this".
Or is that Cruz? I can't tell them apart:-)
Cruz.
The whole thing is hilarious because Cruz claims to be a constitutional 'originalist' and believes that interpretation of law etc should be based on the original meaning of the constitution as the framers understood it. And then goes on to say 'except that bit about natural born citizen'.
Is he claiming he found a way to safely have backdoored communications?
He then suggests in his opinion that if those nine servers are spread around the world such that one is in control of by different democratic governments
I see a flaw right there. 'Democratic governments' tend to be in each others pockets.
Make one of them in North Korea and then maybe we've got a workable system.
I run my own firewall and I actually did block, among some other areas, everything East from my country, including Russia. Whole of Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. The average attack attempts to my web servers dropped from hundreds per week to a couple per week. It's also really nice how you can block inbound and outbound or just inbound traffic.
And yet you let through traffic from the USA? The number one source of internet attacks?
Aren't military medals supposed to be for noble things like bravery, heroism, or honour? What's honourable about taking out an opponent from so far away that the risk to yourself is nonexistent?
I guess politicians and presidential candidates can get medals too...
North Korea's isolation is Kim's fault just as much as anyone else's. He's well aware that opening up trade internationally would end up creating a more educated and motivated populace....one that wouldn't look to kindly on their current leadership.
Look at the dogma that has been crammed down their throat for the past 50 years....Juche is usually translated as "self-reliance". Why would Dear Leader want to open up trade to the world when he's convinced the populace that they don't need it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Juche is an interesting concept. I'm not sure its specific to North Korea either; the Mongolians have a saying "I'd rather suffer under my own rule than frolic under someone elses."
The North Korean border is so close to Seoul that the North wouldn't even need to actually directly nuke Seoul; they could line up the nukes on THEIR OWN side of the border and let them off and Seoul would be totally fucked.
And there are no victims so easily plucked clean as a population that is legally unable to defend itself. In European societies you have to hope the police are everywhere, because that's all the protection you have.
Yeah in the USA the women would pull their guns out and start spraying bullets everywhere.
Please provide examples of this. The MEPs are all elected and have to approve all the policy decisions, so I don't understand how democracy isn't working in the EU.
From the perspective of the 'Murcan, democracy is broken in the EU because there are (usually) more than 2 political parties. The UK being the most non-broken democracy (to 'Murcans).
I complained to my MP (in the UK, where our PM has publicly stated he'd like back doors all over the place) and got a response which essentially said "we invest in strong encryption, we don't advocate weakening encryption at all. However, we do want tech companies to give us access to data when we ask for it".
In other words - it's all about double-speak
I'm not sure. Were I running a tech company I would interpret the above as meaning that we should turn over the data. The encrypted data.
iOS asks for a password whenever things are purchased, regardless of method. Buying free apps can skip a password.
However, the kid had the password needed for purchases and was able to enter it when asked.
Nope, not on my ipad it doesn't. My wife's ipad also doesn't ask for a password.
Yes, I know it can be set to do so, but apparently it's not the default. I just bought her an ipad mini 4 days ago and after setting it up it asked for a password once, and it hasn't asked for one again.
On Android theres a setting when you first use it, whether to ask for a password every time or once very 30 days.
"They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
Right, so treason and felony then. Engaging in direct diplomacy with foreign governments.
Windows 8 made it seem lik you had to have Microsoft account. The option to use a local login only was hidden. If you didn't do the research you wouldn't know it was an option. So with Windows 10 you do the same thing: do the research before installing, and don't just click "next" over and over until you're done.
Well yeah. But the only way I have found to install with local login is to disconnect. Are you sure theres another way? (This is for OS install time only).
You know what I find amusing? For a country that enjoys a lot of freedom, American citizens complain a lot of about tyranny and oppression, as if they've lived through it.
They might not have a lot of tyranny but they don't have much freedom either, its mostly illusory. The USA (and Canada too) are so bogged down with federal laws, state laws, county laws, bylaws, regulations etc etc that theres little you can do that you can guarantee isn't illegal.
Take Toronto for example, that large city in one of the most freedom loving countries in the world, Canada. The taxis were recently protesting because, so far as they can tell, Uber is illegal in Toronto and the cops and city aren't doing squat about it. The police and the city however say they can't enforce the law BECAUSE ITS TOO COMPLICATED. Now thats a shit-hole to be in; laws so complex even the law enforcers can't enforce them. Thats not freedom, dude.
You can still create a local account only in Windows 8 and Windows 10. Next, turn on BitLocker and record your own recovery key. All of this can be done OFFLINE!
To the best of my knowledge it has to be done offline; if you have Internet connectivity you can't install 8 and 10 without a Microsoft account, it doesn't even give an option for local account unless you disconnect.
Because they didn't by the pro version and have to use the Microsoft account.
This is simply false. So far, at least.
To the best of my knowledge...
If you don't have the pro version you can only set up a Windows 10 box without the Microsoft account if it isn't connected to the Internet at setup time. if its got internet connectivity you don't get an option to set up with only a local account.
Um, I do have experience in other cultures. In the Orient-West, and the ASEAN countries. We can agree that survival instinct is worriesome for AI. Survival instinct is strong among living things, but how AI reacts to stimuli is a direct function of its native programming, just as the reason you breath unconsciously is part of your native programming in the limbic.
It's my worry that bad AI logic makes uncontrollable actions, in the sense of not benefiting mankind/humans or the sustainability of the rest of the planet when viewed on a higher scale.
Sustainability depends on the needs of the sustained. A machine civilisation might have very different needs for sustainability for us and their 'idea' of sustainable might well doom us.
Consider what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Civility, generosity to complete strangers, capacity to hold in lust desires (at least some of us), and the ability to recognize sustainability, when much of capitalistic and corporate cultures are strictly in it for the returns on investment.
Who do you want coding this? Trump? Sanders? Pick any politician or none at all. What other values are important? Under what circumstances and contexts will the values be altered, and for what innate rationale? Yes, the world can be dog eat dog, but is that the image, the logic you want in the AI that will be making decisions about YOU?
We know in certainty that there humanity can be divided into those feeling love and guilt, and those that are narcissistic, even psychopathic. Which one of those do you want doing surgery on you, or as an adversary on the battlefield? You make this sound easy, and it is not easy. Greed is not a value-- it is the distinct lack of a value-- charity.
You don't get around much. I've lived in many countries, on many continents and among many cultures. Your view seems limited to Western cultures.
If AI has any kind of 'survival instinct' it'll be a threat to us.
It's not free will that's the problem. And intelligence is not intelligence, you conflate so much. Intelligence isn't the crux of moral choices, it's instinct survival and altrusim. Do you have an altruism algorithm?
What of the war machines, the killing machines? Everyone making them will always claim that theirs is necessary because of course, they're in the right.
Medical apparatus-- who plays God here? My algorithm or yours? AI has dropped millions of tons of rockets into the drink. AI has misrouted millions and millions of mailed letters.
You trust this stuff far too much, and there is much more than "solely based on the aide is like prevneint a child from existing...." to fear. Instead, coders flatter themselves that they can provide the agar, the basic ingredients of intelligence, sit back, and watch algorithms grow into something good for mankind. Horseshit.
Altruism isn't as universal in human cultures as you might think. The Western christian influenced cultures are totally overloaded with altruism, to the point that they are often dysfunctional because of it. Other cultures are much more pragmatic than altruistic.
Consider this; greed, selfishness and lust are essential for the survival of any organism. Nothing lives except at the expense of another living organism. Even cyanobacteria need to occupy space at the expense of other cyanobacteria.

They could bombard Seoul with conventional artillery too. But they know it'd be an utterly suicidal course of action.
Sure but nuking their *own* territory? "oops sorry about that, totally accidental."
