  1. Re:Many of you are missing something on 150 Filmmakers and Photojournalists Call On Nikon, Sony, and Canon To Build in Encryption (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good reason to not tell the wife the key.

  2. Journalists are well aware of the risks they take. And they are expected to take some personal risk to protect their sources.

    The encryption may not be so much for protecting the journalist, but rather protecting the journalist's sources.

  4. Sure, but you try uploading your images to your computer when there are literally bombs raining around you.

    Hmm, and here I was thinking of Grande as a smaller guy. I'm in the situation where Google is unveiling fiber and heavily advertising, and I have to choose if I want to stay with Grande or go with the faster Google Fiber. I'm not sure if I want all my base are belong to Google.

    You'd be appearance-obsessed if your job depended on it.

    Interesting, but if there are enough faithless electors to make a difference, things could get ugly. Like civil war ugly.

    At least he won't start war with Russia.

  9. Re:You're forgetting Mike Pence on Donald Trump Wins US Presidency (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump has way too big an ego to be ordered around. Though, he could probably be prodded into doing Pence's bidding with a bit of egging.

    I think you are trivializing her decision. I doubt she would've voted for Carly.

    I don't think even Libertarians believe the nonsense they repeat about protecting the environment. Bringing a lawsuit is a large burden, and most forms pollution are small but cumulative and difficult to trace to their sources. Who the fuck am I supposed to sue when the sky is brown day after day? When there's mercury in my well water? When the river is full of E coli from people shitting in it?

    Trump's sexism may be mostly harmless, but his narcissism is very dangerous. At least Bush was smart enough to take advice from more capable people he surrounded himself with. Unfortunately, many of these people were totally evil (Cheney). Trump thinks he's the smartest person around, and he's more likely to go with his gut than listen to the advice of generals, directors, and economists. And this makes him dangerous.

    The advertisement shows people playing the same game on the TV and the tablet, picking up where they left off. Therefore, the games are developed to run on the tablet.
    It's possible that the base station has additional hardware to drive a higher resolution TV, but I doubt it.

    It's not that most officers are bad people. It's that authority corrupts people. When you put people in authoritarian positions, they become transformed into assholes.

  22. Re:Correlation? on Police Complaints Drop 93 Percent After Deploying Body Cameras (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd like to ask them a few questions. What fraction of complaints get withdrawn? What fraction of complaints correspond to cases that the camera was turned off or poorly angled?

  23. Re:Correlation? on Police Complaints Drop 93 Percent After Deploying Body Cameras (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Think about it. Cops know about the cameras and know that they are being observed more closely as a part of a study. Suspects probably don't know about the change, unless the cops explicitly point it out to them.
    And it's not a small group of cops. It's every cop curbing their bad behavior.

  24. Filtering out the psychos during application would work, except that the Stanford prison experiment showed us that even if you put psychologically healthy people in police roles, they get abusive.
