I'd also wager that the 1st amendment protects encryption. I can communicate using any language I wish. In this case, I communicate in AES256. If you don't understand it, that's on you to figure out and not up to me to explain it to you. Also, I agree 100%, unbreakable encryption is not going to go away - the genie is already out of the bottle.
From the summary: "The people who have left were responsible for collecting and analyzing the intelligence that goes into the president's daily briefing."
Not much of a loss for now, the president doesn't read anyways. Let's hope they all these people got hired by Fox News, though I highly doubt it.
It's not paying for other people's children as much as it is *your* education. I'm assuming that when you were 8 that you weren't paying for your education when you were in school. That money to do so comes from somewhere. Yes, your parents probably paid school taxes, but not near enough to cover the actual cost. The median cost per student/year in a public school in the USA is around $13000, so approximately $156K for 12 years of education. My school taxes are $3000/year so it takes longer than 12 years to fund that cost per student. You essentially pay for your own education over the duration of your lifetime by paying school taxes.
So your solution is to tax the low income and middle class even more? This will only hurt the economy. Consumer spending is the largest driver
Generally speaking who has mortgages? The family making 70K/year or guy making 2M/year? If a bunch of normal households are paying taxes on that mortgage interest to the bank then they aren't spending it on goods/services. The bank just gets to hoover it up and pass it onto shareholders.
Why would anyone even bother paying attention to an ad? Even if it was a product I was potentially interested in, their point of view is completely biased. No sales person or ad ever tells you the drawbacks to a product (unless legislated to such as drug side effects), their goal is to tell you good things. I know this. You know this. Pretty much everyone knows this. So why would I consider their opinion as a serious factor in my purchasing decision. The maker of widget XYZ says its great, oh.. you don't say?!?
Second, advertisements don't drive my purchases. Budgeting, need, and benefit evaluation does. My awareness of something existing doesn't alter my need for that product. If I need a product I'm likely already researching it, and my data points are going to come from non-biased sources and properties that you can evaluate in an objective matter wherever possible, and when not possible a healthy dose of skepticism will be applied as a modifier.
Seriously, who really needs these high end features? I have a $120 Honor 5x. I've had it for about a year and a half. Most people I know send texts, take pictures, use a few relatively "light" applications such as twitter, maybe use the GPS a bit, and make calls. My cheap phone does that fine. Why should I pay an outrageous $700+ price tag for an Apple device when a $120 device will perform the same tasks just fine? Assuming you get a new device every 2 years, over 30 years, that's an extra ~$9000 in after tax money I have to do other things with. People need to stop spending money on stupid crap they don't need and stop whining about being broke!
No, realize it's not "just artwork" and I understand that there are differences and additions to the APIs under the hood. However from a functional perspective for the user and generally speaking not a lot changes outside of some slight UI adjustments. My web browser still renders HTML and responds to back button requests. My text messaging app still sends text messages. As a user it doesn't matter to me if the drawUserElement() API is structured differently or slightly more efficient. Most people that use phones are doing really basic tasks on them where the OS advancements don't make a measurable difference for what they do on the devices. Is text messaging, phone call quality, and email going to be that much better on Android 7.1.1 vs 7.0?
In all honesty who cares about running the latest mobile OS? Assuming your phone is patched for exploits, does it really matter if the icons look a little different or the UI behaves slightly differently? This is OS agnostic. I could care less about having the newest Apple or Android OS. It doesn't matter. A phone is a tool. If it does what I need it to do (make calls, send texts, send emails, GPS navigation) then it has done its job. I don't really care if the icons look a little different with rounded vs square corners, or if menu swipes down differently.
I love technology, but I'm not willing to pay anywhere near close to that for what is essentially a disposable device. I typically buy a new phone when the one I'm using doesn't do what I need it to do. I have a Honor 5X that I bought about a year and a half ago for $110. It sends texts, emails, takes pictures, and works fine for basic web browsing. The battery is still good condition so it may last another 1.5 years. You can keep a li-ion battery in "good shape" by keeping the charge between 30-85% and only full charging when you absolutely have a need to like traveling, etc. A phone is a tool, and unless there is a new version/device that will improve my productivity or is much more functional then there is no need to upgrade as long as it is operational. I treat everything this way. It's the reason I drove my last vehicle for 14 years. Yes it had some rust, etc. but it was functional, why waste money on an unneeded vehicle upgrade when it could be used elsewhere with better long term results?
So a vault designed with protecting something through a catastrophe didn't consider the possibly of melt water or lots of rain? Was the director of design Donald Trump?
Silent audio won't necessarily work, as browsers are already detecting whether a video's audio is silent. In Firefox 51, this video that has intermittent audio causes the speaker icon in the tab to blink on and off whenever the game plays a sound effect.
Easy solution, the audio file will be a constant tone at 100 kHz. The user wouldn't notice it since it is well outside human hearing range, and the sound is playing 100% of the time.
Android is the OS. Samsung is the manufacturer of a particular device that uses Android. If you like Android you can buy a device from any plethora of makers. I get it, the article is from appleinsider.com, so they have a definite bias, but there argument is less than flimsy at best. It follows the same logic as saying you had bought one bad chevy cruze, so you are now only going to buy diesel vehicles.
Yeah, except without any of the reward. These drivers aren't getting stock or any type of company ownership. Typically in a startup you are working a large amount of hours at low pay with the hope that your product takes off or you get acquired so your personal share of the company gains a massive amount of worth and then you cash out. In this case there is no hope of a cash out for these people. Now I do blame them for not having the foresight to see this, but ultimately it is different for them that a typical startup.
Yeah, no thanks on renting my car. I keep it extremely clean inside and out. The last thing I want is some company sending it all over who knows where so I can collect a pittance and they can walk away with all of the profit while devaluing my asset (car) through usage. Anyone who does that is a sucker.

How is this news? Any device reachable through the Internet is vulnerable to hacking. Period.
George, for the last 2 weeks we have detected your left hand moving vigorously after lunch time in bathroom 3B. Can you explain this unusual reading?
Yeah but how many write cycles on the flash memory?
So this basically translates to: "The Chinese are spying on American citizens?!? THAT'S OUR FUCKING JOB!"

"The tech giant is searching for a locale with at least a million people ..... and excellent schools...."
Yes, when I think Detroit I think excellent schools, bwahahahahaha.
One web to rule them all!
I'll perform any math I choose with who I want when I want. Thank you very much.

Good luck legislating math.

I hate euphemisms, and "gig" is just a euphemism for day laborer. We've been down that path before, is this really what we want to go back to?
