You are fooling only yourself if you think that any of the Republican leaders are moderates, or are interested in promoting anything that doesn't benefit the ultra-wealthy.
That way other 'somewhat' conservative leaders like Paul Ryan can do things like pass a budget and enact other legislation, maybe roll back some of Obama's worst excesses, without the obstacle of Hillary's veto pen.
That means rolling back Obamacare. The USA has the worst medical system of any western nation. Rolling back Obamacare won't make it any better. Federal and state governments spend more per person (counting all people in the USA) than the UK (or any western nation) spends per person, yet covers only one person in 4. That simple fact should tell you everything you need to know about medical care in the USA. The only thing that you can say about the quality of care in the USA is that it is the most expensive.
Trump however is not a conservative. You really can't pin him down at all.
Exactly. Every policy position he has staked out he has later walked back. If you vote for him, you have no idea what he will do.
Trump and his votors are essentially a cult of the ego. That's what you are voting for if you choose to vote for him.
But more than that, you are voting for a bigoted society where the executive branch discriminates against one group of people. That's been one of only two consistent policy positions (the other being the ridiculous idea that Mexico will pay to build a wall that goes against Mexico's economic interests).
But it certainly has tilted toward liberal control in the greater media outlets.
Ah, yes: that same liberal media that was ignoring Bernie Sanders for months, even when his polling numbers were very respectable.
If you want to say that the media supports the Democratic establishment, then perhaps that's true, but let's not confuse mainstream Democratic elite with liberals. Politics in the USA have moved so far to the right that that the Democratic leadership would be considered center-right in any other Western democracy.
In other words, the "government is evil" narrative works so much better if you add a few more facts.
If you add real facts, yes, the narrative works so much better.
Many of the cases where warrants have been requested by police for the use of Stingrays have obfuscated the actual nature of the surveillance. This is documented fact.
Perhaps you don't like facts getting in the way of your desire to be snarky?
If a manufacturer provides a "reward" for driving at excessive speeds, then yes, sue them, whoever they are: car companies included.
Car companies don't provide any incentive to drivers to drive fast. They don't send you a certificate for exceeding the speed limit. That's the crucial difference.
I know this is slashdot.. but did you miss the part in TFS where the cop GOT THE COURT ORDER FIRST????????
Did you miss the part where Stingray devices involve massive privacy breaches on the general population, so using one for a trivial robbery is massive overreach.
Yes, I know they got a court order, but it would be a safe bet that the police obfuscated the actual nature of the Stingray device, because that's what they do.
its a feature that it serves up a copy of your music from the cloud, only to you, if that music doesn't exist in the apple music library.
Except that it doesn't. From the article:
That rare, early version of Fountains of Wayne's "I'll Do The Driving," labeled as such? Still had its same label, but was instead replaced by the later-released, more widely available version of the song.
What a corrupt political landscape where a man like Donald Trump is truly the lessor of two evils...
You really haven't been watching the news, have you? Trump is more of a hawk than any Democrat. He will spend even more on the military, dragging the USA into yet more conflicts. He has displayed enough contempt for anyone who doesn't agree with him that it should be clear to you that he will drive the USA even further along the road to fascism with more spying on citizens, more secret courts, etc..
I see the judges on this court as traitors. They clearly don't apply any critical analysis to requests that they are presented with and they even approved at least one warrant that they knew had nothing to do with foreign intelligence.
Don't forget that someone representing the company (presumably the board of directors) hired her and entered into a contract that explicitly spelled out the severance in the event of early termination. The company agreed to this in advance.
Why is it being reported just now and not when she was hired? No, I think that this is a new benefit that has just been put in place, after she has failed to do anything to turn around Yahoo's business.
our new national health care "tax" (court decision),
Yes, of course, because this tax was not part of a huge bill that Congress approved and the President signed.
You may have a point with your other examples, but this "tax" was part of the Affordable Care Act and your attempt to claim that it wasn't shows that you let your biases get in the way of rational analysis.

There are other forms of DRM than encryption. Making the file inaccessible is one of those other forms.
Also, no need to go abroad to hide assets. Delaware provides all the necessary secrecy.
Does this include the investigator who tried to steal rather a lot of bitcoin?
Ah, a bit of googling and it appears he was sentenced to several years in prison, so, I guess the "entire team" wasn't hired.

Your "edge case mistake" is my bug!
If you RTFA, you will see that this person experienced this "edge case" in more than one file.
Did you miss the part where Stingray devices involve massive privacy breaches on the general population, so using one for a trivial robbery is massive overreach.

No, it doesn't. The ToS just say that you can't sue Apple if this happens. It does not say that Apple will delete local files.
Except that it doesn't. From the article:
I am amazed that you cannot see that using a commercial email server is far worse than using a private email server.
In that document, what is a "Mill"? Is it 1/1000 of a dollar?
And the same could be true in this instance. The encrypted files could have been placed there by a third party.
Not really. I almost always find a gas station along my route, so the excess distance is less than 100 yards.
That's certainly true, but the same could be said for places already served by the ACE train.
That should be "Los Angeles and San Francisco". The Sacramento area population is about one third of that of the SF Bay area.

Someone did a study a year or two back and there was a correlation. High CEO pay correlated with low performance.
None of which makes it any less illegal.
I doubt that those companies are so blatant as your employer. $35k for a PhD?
I think that the worst large offenders are the Indian outsourcers.
The rules don't allow job requirements to unrealistically specific.
You are in denial about your employer's illegal activities.
Yes, of course, because this tax was not part of a huge bill that Congress approved and the President signed.
