So the remaining 8% were served by the North Korean State Security Department? The law basically says "comply or else". So anyone that walks in the door with anything that looks remotely like an NSL gets data. Right?
Mine doesn't have a cover. But then I don't sit in front of it naked. The worst pic anyone is going get is me with finger up nostril to the second knuckle.
Bon appetit for those reading/. on their lunch break.
Probably the NSA. Not directly, but this is the push back to all of the bad press they have been getting since the Snowden leaks. Hold Google and other service providers feet to the fire and they'll go to Congress begging to have the laws relaxed.
Oh, and once you've got your relaxed laws, Google, you'll be happy to share all that scraped data with us, right?
... the wealthy countries are expected to all the work to mitigate the problem. Sorry, I don't buy it. If it was really that bad, we'd be asking China and India to do their parts to clean up as well. Its not like every country has an inalienable right to drive Buicks with tail fins as they industrialize just because we did that once.
Until it gets bad enough so everyone has to participate in the solutions, its just a poorly hidden wealth transfer scheme.
If you find your entirely academic question fascinating, you should study climate science and contribute to that field.
Why climate science? Why isn't physics, chemistry and thermodynamics enough? The whole climate science as a separate discipline smacks of a priesthood with its own secret scriptures and temples off limits to all but the church elders. And you folks wonder why you aren't taken seriously?
In the meantime please stop distracting those of us that actually want to mitigate the effects of climate change,
You are free to do as you please. If you think I'm distracting you from some important task, then just don't waste your time posting here.
regardless of who or what is responsible.
Basic engineering: You have to understand the root cause of a problem before you can solve it. You don't start with an agenda and then try to fiddle with the models to make the data fit your world view.
Climate change might be happening. But who or what is responsible?
'I personally wouldn't invest in beachfront property anymore,'
That runs counter to the industries best interests. Selling high priced insurance on expensive property. So if I was in the insurance business and I thought that risk could be mitigated by changing behavior, I'd be lobbying for that. On the other hand, if I thought that the change was inevitable and there was nothing to bee done, I'd tell people to avoid the risk.
Who wants this crap to continue "in the name of fighting terrorism"? The alternative seems to be we lose 3000 people every dozen years or so. Big deal. I say we write off our losses every once in a while and stop shitting ourselves.
On the surface, this sounds correct. But what this is, is the NSA's attempt at removing the last vestiges of due process from their access to the private sector's data.
the NSA will then share nothing with the private orgs because everything of any interest is classified.
You really think Snowden was the first person to go rifling through the NSA's servers? He was the first one to show us how easy it was to do. And what sort of stuff they've got in there. Having 'consultants' and 'contractors' inside gov't departments feeding stuff back to their home office has been going on for decades. And I'm not so sure the gov't is too eager to have it stopped. Giving the corporate world a peek at their data is their payback for under the table cooperation.
After this, the presence of data on one side or the other of the espionage-corporate world will be explained away as a result of 'data sharing'.
but if your a US citizen your bound by US law no matter what country your servers are.
But evidently not bound by the rules of good grammar.
This is why 'our' servers are owned by an offshore corporation, of which I am only an employee and minority shareholder. This whole 'US law applies everywhere' idea is bullshit. If, by upholding US law, I break the law of a country I am currently visiting, I get a bullet in the head. End of story.
The argument will be made that the error could have been on the part of the brokerage. So some means of cancellation needs to be implemented.
Fine. You drop a TCP connection on an order and your customer account is locked out. You have a phone number for some guy at the brokerage. He takes your information, takes the stairs down to the server room (make that an old guy), logs on to a console and resets your account. Not much high frequency trading is going to happen that way.
It reminds me of the plot of a cop show on TV. Some math whiz had created an application that could (theoretically) determine the winner of any horse race. In reality the weighting factors were calculated after the fact. So when the gambling commission started asking how these people kept winning races, they just showed them the app. In reality, the races were all fixed by organized crime.
Same thing here. Its all plausible deniability. I have this app, see. And it calculates the winning trades. That appears to be good enough for the SEC. Remember Bernie Madoff? They are quite easy to feed bullshit.
Several large orders betting the other way may have been placed a few milliseconds after 2:00 PM as well. But there is a 'feature' in on-line trading that allows high frequency traders to cancel or abort trades that they claim were made as a result of 'system errors'.
IANAL, but this might raise interesting Fifth Amendment issues. In the case of medical marijuana, being illegal at the Federal level, any records pertaining to its distribution are evidence of a Federal crime. And this could involve charges against the doctor, the patient, the pharmacist. Even the state authorities who allow this trade to occur. So all of these parties involved in its distribution have an interest in ensuring that evidence leading to their possible conviction is collected under proper warrants.
What might be more interesting: Depending on how the State's database is structured, giving the DEA access to any records might allow them to search for evidence of marijuana distribution. So any search might have to be covered by a warrant, stating clearly what is or is not to be searched for.

The phenomenon known as Eternal September was new and little understood back in those days.
I looked at TFA and saw the links to related articles on the right hand side. I found my preferred zombie apocalypse vehicle. Not the Chevy.

Who does he think he is? A Hollywood actor?
If it happens, it happens. But the odds are very low. I worry more about the schizos downtown with knives.
On the other hand, nobody is going to try anything funny on an airplane and not get beaten within an inch of their lives by the passengers again.

That's why they are called "Staff meetings".
