If he is going to incriminate himself by unlocking the phone, I think that falls under the 5th Amendment.
> No its not, if you have said experience then it should be damn easy to certify and re certify, you know for saftey and all that jazz.
Just because I can easily do it, doesn't mean I want to spend my time, and my life, going over the basics of using weapons all over again. I don't accept that we need to have a registration or certification process as a prerequisite to self-defense.
If bows, swords, clubs and knives didn't require certification and licensing, why should they now? Sure, training is important, but that should be at the option of the wielder, not enforced by a government in order to control citizenry.
> Just because you may have fired thousands of rounds does not mean that you understand all of the different types of guns.
Wrong. I have been trained in fully automatic heavy crew served weapons, grenade launchers, light machine guns of several types, handguns of several types, shotguns, and rifles.
> I mean if someone has driven an automatic for thousands and thousands of miles do they automatically know how to drive a standard? and while keeping on that analogy, how many people get lazy and over confident in their driving and end up being really unsafe drivers?
This is a bad analogy for those of us with military & police backgrounds, as we are qualified with several rifles and handguns, over many years, on a regular basis. The more combat arms oriented roles include not only above, but also foreign weaponry. As NATO members we do cross-training with our partners and it is common for militaries working joint exercises to qualify each other on their weaponry.
While I am not a big democrat, I think many of us wanted to see Bernie vs Trump.
It was clear that Bernie had the energy, the youth support, and that he was much closer to the heart and soul of the modern Democrat party. I can respect that, and his complete support for a certain type of system. While I might not agree with it, at least he is completely honest about where he stands and what he represents. Crazy Uncle Bernie should have been given a chance.
Bernie vs Trump would have been a grand battle royale of dueling narratives. A socialist, neo-communist vice the slick hyper-capitalist.
We, the American people lost out when this battle of ideas was not waged in the public, for our mindshare. Instead, we were left with a Democrat insider with a catalog of health issues, hardly able to defend Democrat positions.
Given above, is it any suprise that many people chose to vote against Hillary?
the liberal anti-gun nuts, despite ever decreasing amounts of crime, always rant and rave about taking our guns away. They don't focus on recent failures where crazies got guns illegally, or, the system failed. Or a coward police officer sat in safety while innocent children died. No, they talk about encroaching on our freedoms when we are legal, mentally acute, law abiding citizens & veterans. And deadly accurate I might add.
my favorite technique when someone takes a contrary position is to come out with a group of ad hominem attacks, and claim they have personality defects./Sarcasm.
It isn't like we in the US have a sizeable number of active duty & veterans across all the 7 uniformed services, and gun bearing professionals in Law enforcement & security, and just regular citizens with interests. We don't number in the millions, we are just a figment of your imagination....
there are lots of advertisers that do want to be associated with it.
Half the youtube gun videos are associated with a bigname gun, ammo, or supply related company, and many of them are outright branding.
However, if Youtube is going to discriminate against them, I am happy to watch gun videos elsewhere, and take my paying "user" eyes to enrich one of their competitors.
Enforcing training requirements, "licensing", ever increasing levels of background checks, are all a slippery slope on a path towards removal of gun rights.
For those of us with military, or police experience, asking us to "certify" when we've fired tens of thousands of rounds, and, or, ran ranges, is a step in futility.

Reddit has been waging a war against free speech, and against certain demographics, for the sake of political correctness, for many years now.
Merely recounting some of the facts of journalistic ethical missteps with regards to Gamergate was sufficient cause for massive Orwellian Bannings, Shadowbannings, and Mass censorship. They will also do the same across Reddit for terrorist bombings that dare to mention a privileged group that bombed or killed, such as with the London terrorist knifings, or the Orlando Massacre
If you bring up inconvenient facts that are not politically correct, you can expect to receive the same treatment. You can also expect to have the Inquisitors of SRS downvote brigading your small subreddit. SRS is quite open about being against free speech, and actively opposing non-SJW outlooks. SRS receive active admin support, so they are rarely, if ever, punished. If you resist Admin control over a subreddit, your subreddit is removed.
Furthermore, there is a massive conspiracy of leftist moderators that, in cahoots with the Administrators of Reddit, actively attempt to squelch and censor the views of the Right, and Libertarians. This is not unlike the situation with Wikipedia, and the moderation wars that have occurred there, or the regular invasion of SJW material here, into Slashdot.
Why is this?
Politically Correct speech stands in direct opposition to Free Speech.

Please, if you are going to defend Googal at every turn, by all means, come out and admit you are a shareholder, a fanboi, or employed there. No doubt their tools are useful, but they are corrupting some signficant processes e.g. Democratic nominations and open conversations on policy.
Spying on everything you can possibly do with this chromebook, because Google is in the business of marketing your personal information to advertisers. This will probably better enable them to link your credit card to your devices to your viewing preferences, to your buys, to your everything.

However, this isn't just a left or right thing. If there is an upcoming election, you can count on this piece of..... to be pushing Hillary Clinton ads, and suppressing Bernie content, yet again.

There is a vast chasm of difference between a Secretary of State's emails, and those of a consulting graphics artist, a few lower level budget analysts, or even some engineers.
The assumption for a Senior Executive directing an organization of > 60,000 personnel, with a > $40,000,000,000 budget is that much, or most of that email are records because it contains "organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the Government or because of the informational value of the data in them". Lower level flunkies at the working level lack direct reports, do not supervise anything, control nothing, and have little impact. They don't have the decision material, don't control resources, and don't dictate policy, and therefore would have little to no federal records.
This also explains why pretty much all of a President's official correspondence is considered federal records, captured, then released in time, subject to classification release schedules.
tldr; Motherboard made several poorly worded FOIA requests, did not actually request records, or was not requesting it from an IG
Record Definition:
"Records include all books, papers, maps, photographs, machine-readable materials, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States Government under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the Government or because of the informational value of the data in them (44 U.S.C. 3301)". from https://www.archives.gov/recor...
Asking for someone's email, the budget for a simple calendar or graphic, or trying to fish for information doesn't meet that criteria.
The NYTimes has come out with several articles on the issue, I may be missing more of them though. Wanted to mention these, since they are somewhat divided, but do show support in some of them for not firing James, and they bring up interesting points.
Thanks for continuing to demonize his arguments, rather than the science behind it.
Basically, you are lacking a rebuttal, and have to invent him "arguing against a straw man".
You slammed Debra Soh https://www.researchgate.net/p... because her Thesis was using fMRIs, among other observing tools. Then you claimed that you can prove a salmon has emotion the same way.
However, her thesis actually used a number of different observing tools, of which, fMRIs was only one. One of the others methods she used in her research was diffusion tensor imaging. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p... I'm linking it since you seem to be completely unfamiliar with her thesis.
Obviously, using a dead salmon in order to prove that the salmon was emotional, via fMRIs doesn't prove anything.
But, when you are talking about fMRIs, you should at least accurately represent the state of the science.
"Whereas the kind of reverse inference described above is informal, in the sense that it is based on the researcherâ(TM)s knowledge of associations between activation and mental functions, a more recent approach provides the ability to formally test the ability to infer mental states from neuroimaging data. Known variously as multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA), multivariate decoding, or pattern-information analysis, this approach uses tools from the field of machine learning to create statistical machines that can accurately decode the mental state that is represented by a particular imaging dataset. In the last ten years, this approach has become very popular in the fMRI literature; for example, in the first 8 months of 2011 there have been more than 50 publications using these methods, versus 41 for the entire period before 2009.
A pioneering example of this approach was the study by Haxby et al. (2001), who showed that it was possible to accurately classify which of several classes of objects a subject was viewing, using a nearest-neighbor approach in which a test dataset was compared to training datasets obtained for each of the classes of interest. Whereas early work using MVPA focused largely on decoding of visual stimulus features, such as object identity (Haxby et al., 2001) or simple visual features (Haynes & Rees, 2005; Kamitani & Tong, 2005), it is now clear that more complex mental states can also be decoded from fMRI data. For example, several studies have shown that future intentions to perform particular tasks can be decoded with reasonable accuracy (Gilbert, 2011; Haynes et al., 2007). These studies show that it is possible to quantitatively estimate the degree to which a pattern of brain activation is predictive of the engagement of a specific mental process, and thus provides a formal means to implement reverse inference. They have also provided evidence that activation in some regions may be less diagnostic than is required (and often assumed) for effective reverse inference. For example, neither the âoefusiform face areaâ nor the âoeparahippocampal place areaâ is particularly diagnostic for the stimulus classes that activate them most strongly (faces or scenes respectively) (Hanson & Halchenko, 2008)."
Despite there, there are some limitations
"Despite the incredible power of these methods to decode mental states from neuroimaging data, some important limits remain. Foremost, decoding methods cannot overcome the fact that neuroimaging data are inherently correlational (cf. Poldrack, 2000), and thus that demonstration of significant decoding does not prove that a region is necessary for the mental function being decoded. Lesion studies and manipulations of brain function using methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will remain essential for identifying which regions are necessary and which are epiphenomenal. Conversely, a region could be important for a function even if it is not diagnostic of that function
