    Hansen was born in Denison, Iowa to James Ivan Hansen and Gladys Ray Hansen.[9] He was trained in physics and astronomy in the space science program of James Van Allen at the University of Iowa. He obtained a B.A. in Physics and Mathematics with highest distinction in 1963, an M.S. in Astronomy in 1965 and a Ph.D. in Physics, in 1967, all three degrees from the University of Iowa. He participated in the NASA graduate traineeship from 1962 to 1966 and, at the same time, between 1965 and 1966, he was a visiting student at the Institute of Astrophysics at the University of Kyoto and in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Tokyo. Hansen then began work at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in 1967.[10]

  3. You simply cannot debate someone who is so divorced from reality that they think some slogan they picked up off a Heartland-funded website somehow falsifies an entire scientific discipline.

    Now that's funny!

  4. Wait, this article is from a scientist, who's been studying atmospheres for years.

    The video is from Al Gore.

    And you equate them? And then try to pretend *I* can't think critically?

    Dude, you better pick a day to stop sniffing glue.

  5. I just wish all the climate deniers would start building houses at the ocean's edge.

  6. That's some sweet source you got there.

    Well, you either pay for the first $50 or pay higher fees.

    Then you don't have use of the credit card for a couple of days.
    Then once you have the new one, any automated payments on it need to be redone. If you can remember them.

    Your definition of safe is rather small in scope.

    Each transaction is a one time card #. Your credit card can't be stolen by using Apple Pay.

    That's what is meant by safer.

    If IoT is controlled by phones, and the FBI/NSA/KGB/CHINA have access to our phones because of the stupidity of the FBI, whats the difference?

    The problem is that they often see US citizens as criminals. You know, before all that stupid trial stuff.

    And if your point was valid, they wouldn't be fighting Apple in federal court for security, or been fighting them on it for several years now.

    Fair point. But did they have any other options?

    Are there secure IoTs?

    Maybe, just maybe, the developers/manufacturers are at some fault.

    Given that the judge said, before this, that they didn't have 4th amendment rights, I'd tell him to fuck off too. And rightfully so.

  23. They were in a FISA court, and being abused by both government & judge.

    They didn't really have any other options. Plus, this was a stalling tactic while they tried to think of any other options. When they came up with none, they shut down the company.
