I also suspect the cruise industry, and gemstones play a role. If you've ever been on a cruise, take note of how lax security is vs. other modes of travel. I don't think it would be very hard to bring a shoebox of hard currency, or a sock load of stones onto a ship.
The husband of a Senator has been named in the leak thus far (who is a high profile class action lawyer), and his Senator wife was named as the beneficiary of the accounts. This is the same Senate that had a member (Patrick Brazeau) charged with both sexual and vanilla assault while also under investigation for expenses claimed. While we Canadians sat around scratching our heads about how to get rid of the lifetime appointed Senators, he then had the audacity to April Fools tweet his resignation, only to thumb his nose at us the next day. I'm thinking about sharpening the tines on my pitchfork right now...this adds fuel to the fire.
While privacy concerns are there, we've lived in a society where someone sufficiently motivated/funded can obtain a wearable covert recording device for decades.
This levels the playing field, as previously it has been law enforcement, PI's, corporations and spies exploiting the capability. Institutionally controlled cameras are already everywhere. We read stories about how warrants are being dropped as a requirement into cellular/email/online records, and real time access is something governments ask lawmakers and courts for with a straight face.
Well, now the individual is going to have their own record, one that might be able to counter the convenient loss, inadmissibility, editing or outright destruction of the current recordings controlled by the institutional actors. Some people may not be comfortable with Google handling the data, but how long before someone roots the device, or clones it with an open OS where the output is completely under the control of the wearer?
This has the potential to be a colossal power shift, as the control of the "narrative of record", and history itself may now be wrestled away from the control of large corporations, and state actors, letting everyone be a witness and draw conclusions before the talking heads tell us what to think.
Canada is not analogous to the US. I'd like to request a citation on your data as well. Is this perceived or factual? Also, it is rediculous to focus on the means rather than the motivation. Violent crime rates overall have been steadily dropping. I frankly would rather be shot dead than stabbed to death, but as long as my chances overall of either are becoming less likely, we are moving in the right direction. Canada also has socio-economic issues that contribute to its pockets of violence - Toronto Community Housing properties seem to be the sites of many of the shootings in recent memory, and on the west coast the drug trade is driving deaths of people "known to police". I would hazard a guess that the drug trade is also a contributing factor in the majority of deaths in the US that aren't the statistical outlier media spectacles of lone rampages.
Yet no one will will be intellectually honest and discuss drug policy changes, or extending a social safety net to those in need that might reduce the levels of desperation in the vulnerable in our society.
I recall large congregations of antiwar marchers in several countries, almost entirely ignored by mainstream media at the time.
Why would Twitter have any more potent effect, if the mainstream media demonstrated their willingness to bend/ignore reality?
Your vote is supposed to be the powerful message, and the political leaders bear greater responsibility in the tragedy. Yet America re-elected GWB after the war began, and nearly elected his cabal again recently. Politicians do what you let them. It is not the media's fault, it is the voters and uncritical audiences. Major news networks have regurgitated the government falsehoods, yet you still tune them in, while PBS cuts later were able to be relatively viable campaign platform. Stop trying to pin it all on the media, and look within.
I wear a simple titanium analogue dive watch, with a solar face. Pulling out your phone mid conversation or in a meeting is a social faux pas for me and it is easier to be discrete with a watch. A watch is also significantly more durable and water resistant, and doesn't require plugging in every day or two. The watch is still the best tool for the job for me. Yes, if forced I could get by with a phone, but will not get rid of a wristwatch with a battery measured in years that can be submerged.
Bank balance? The realization that personal security is largely one's own responsibility (which I refuse to abdicate), and that I am in many/most cases the best person to provide that for myself, and determine the level that is adequate for me?
Really? There wasn't a human override anywhere in that chain of events, or a financial statement anywhere that could back up a hospital's account status? Or a supplier for a huge institution like a hospital would allow postpaid 30/60/90 days credit? That does any sort of risk analysis on the financial health of their key accounts that would clearly indicate that this is out of the norm?
You have taken the scare mongering hook, line, and sinker, and furthered it with hyperbole of your own. This is a grab for control of the internet, and advocating for the further erosion of individual rights that has been going on for a long time now.
As long as you have food, water, and heat, you'll be ok. Stop being so scared - you are allowing others to control you.
Yep, just you. Remember what flying was like pre-9/11? We're no safer now, aside from the fact that the cabin is now inaccessible to passengers.
Also, just because it isn't on the congressional record doesn't mean it didn't happen - maybe a sweetheart deal like, if you push these through, we'll give you a sweet consultancy gig afterwards? Like his current role as head of a consultancy firm for the industry called the Chertoff Group? Do you think just maybe Rapiscan has even been a client? Similar to how generals become board members for the defense industry the second they leave service. Crony capitalism (corruption) at it's best. These postings need to have 20 year non-compete and NDA type clauses. I'm sure the pension isn't lacking...
The citizens of Afghanistan and Vietnam have proven that will and resolve counts for much more than superior or even equal firepower. I don't think anyone is arguing for access to explosives or FA guns - but please continue to attibute false arguments to your opposition in debate, it shows the length you'll go to in order to win.
There is no way most of the mainstream press is going to cover this. The potentially flawed study reinforced too many stereotypes and opinions in step with the "war on drugs" which bankrolls increasingly powerful law enforcement.
100 x this. I've dealt with Apple supply chain in a past professional role, and they are cautious to a fault. There is likely another side to this story.
I think the directory structure of the links you provided are informative - opinions and ideas. Maybe eating that much garlic is preventative because those around you give you a wide berth...
Further, the last time we had a flu season ramped up as it is now, 70,000 people died. We are focusing on the wrong issues - and look at the tolerance we have for anti-vax'ers
And this superior technology acheived such a resounding victory in Afghanistan and Vietnam?
There is a tipping point when you are the occupier, that as soon as enough of the armed population doesn't want you there, you will never have a foothold. How do you identify an enemy that looks like everyone else, speaks the language, and can go from combatant to civilian in the blink of an eye? Unless you go scorched earth, you cannot win unless you change their minds.
No, the map is the damned problem. There are numerous rights being infringed upon here, namely liberty, of which I would argue privacy is a component - you seem to value that one with your AC post. There's security, as many people have pointed out that this map creates a theft risk.
Yes, the mother of the culprit in this latest incident is culpable for allowing her batty son anywhere near a firearm, but this map does the same thing writ large for anyone looking to steal one, and the people who produced it are just as culpable for any harm that comes from the publishing of it.
Shame on you for your vigilante smugness about placing real people in real danger.
And you need to maintain this fear to keep the funds rolling, and the critical thinking low. What do you think the Terror Alert Levels (Red, Orange, etc) were all about? Do you really think the public at large can do anything meaningful with that information?
Japan's criminal underworld is also almost exclusively controlled by the Yakuza, an organized crime syndicate that has an honour code and prefers not to dispute publicly. The homogenous population, level of integration with broader society, and even the relatively small geography of Japan plays to their advantage.
While I agree with many of the commenters that this is a bad decision that sets a bad precident, let's make something good come from it and now apply it to bankers and economists with respect to the ongoing banking crisis...
Either we'll get some of them in jail, or (more likely) the laws will be changed quickly.
"Genetics duh, with a dad like that, how can his sun become anything but a liberal arts major." Missing a question mark. "Sun" rather than son? English is a liberal art you had no time for I suppose. Physics also dictates that hot burning balls of gasses don't attend universities, and therefore cannot become liberal arts majors.
"And that will be his choice BE he was given the choice." What?

I forgot private yachts and planes.

Everyone wear a Niqab. It would make Republican heads explode as a nice side effect!

Have you seen the US and Canadian exchange rate recently? This is over a difference of less than 2%.

Might not be a good comparison.
If you are doing fresh installs that often, just create a slipstream disc. Problem solved.
