Some of the Founding Fathers were religious, none were overtly so, and believed pretty profoundly in religious liberty. Of course, there are the likes of Jefferson, whose views on organized religion were hardly complimentary. Benjamin Franklin was a proper Enlightenment Deist who found the notion of a Personal God that went around intervening in worldly affairs ridiculous.
While I suppose it is hypothetically possible for a 90 year old to get a heart transplant, at least in any Western country, getting that heart would require breaking laws.
As to "free care", no it isn't free. It costs a good deal of money, but if the OECD data is any indication, Canada is spending less per capita for health care than the US, and is getting better results, at least if longevity is the metric. I dunno, maybe the US's sick and impoverished are happier than Canada's.
At worst this was inappropriate vetting of an NGO. The whole "Obama used State Department cash to undermine Netanyahu" is nothing more than a conspiracy theory with no evidence. Even the article you link to makes it clear that OneVoice probably used the money in a fashion not intended for.
I have a hard time figuring out whether you're naive or a moron. Goods that traverse any border by their very nature are the province of governments. Why do you think the Framers put the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution?
All Obama said was that he was not going to prioritize a trade deal with the UK. In fact that pretty much what US policy has been since Obama made his Administration's position clear. It's not like the current Republican president or the republican-contrklled Senate has made any grand overtures to Britain. A trade deal between the US and post-Brexif Britain is no closer today than during the referendum. Trump is no more going to rescue Britain from its attempt at economic and political suicide than Obama would have.
The fact is that many of the technologies we take for granted now we're at least conceptualized if not outright demoed during that heady period of computer research in the 1950s and 1960s. Things like virtualizationation, parallel processing, OCR and the like were known quantities, at least on paper or in simulations years before Intel rolled the first integrated CPUs out. As much as anything, the key piece that brought computers to our homes and ultimately our pockets was the fabrication and minuturization processes. There's not much a modern computer does now that would surprise a researcher in the late 1960s.
That private industry, one way or another uses public property. Telcos and cable companies have use of right of ways for copper and fiber, wireless companies use publicly-allocated spectrum. If an ISP actually owned the land through which their lines ran, you might have a point, but as it is they use public lands for much of their infrastructure, and thus regulation is not only necessary, but desirable. The argument that somehow regulation of the Internet is an intrusion on their property rights is disingenuous at best, and extremely self-servibg. Basically trying to block NN is a have their cake and eat it too; "let us use public property any way we choose, at whatever disadvantage to our customers we see fit, and if you disagree you're some sort of Communist."
Being ugly is an impediment to finding love. Incels suffer pretty serious psychological issues, and yeah, the opposite sex and well even many of the same gender, shy away from the kind of behaviors Incels are known for.
So we shouldn't pursue the guy that breaks into your house, because you inadvertently left the back door open?
There's room enough for both exploring IT security failings and investigating who it was that broke into those systems. They are not mutually exclusive activities.
I think we all know that the majority of voters would likely side with the DOJ on this one, and honestly I am sympathetic to both sides of the debate. Perfect or near-perfect encryption is a nightmare for law enforcement, rendering warrants all but meaningless unless they can grab the phone's owner while the device is in a state that it can be read. At the same time, even if I were to believe completely in the benign nature of the state, a backdoor used by good guys is potentially a back door that can be used by bad guys. Encryption that is designed to be broken is a pretty scary thing.
And yes, the hype over MS-13 is absurd. The Mafia has been doing horrifying things to each other and other people for a century, and in a lot more organized and insidious fashion than this band of gang bangers. The entire "MS-13 IS THE WORST" is a creation of Fox News in its campaign to denigrate illegal immigrants from Latin America. Christ, I find the One Percenters to be a lot more frightening than any MS-13 member, but the narrative of middle-aged white guys on hogs running drugs, extortion rackets, prostitution rings and the like isn't as sexy these days.
Yes, but what my banking app doesn't do is hide that an IP address provisioned to me connected to a bank web server. The whole point of SSL is to obscure with a high degree of rigor what exactly it was I was doing connecting to the bank.
Encryption systems are designed for that purpose, and in reality as hard as encryption is, it's much easier than anonymizing data. Even encrypted data can leave some tell tale signs. Padding out data, burying it other data, all can be used to further hide the nature of a transmission, but fundamentally encryption is not about hiding the sender and/or receiver, and assuming an encrypted VPN is a good way to anonymize data or identity is an error.
When was the point of encryption ever anonymity? The point has always been to transmit data over open channels in a manner that it couldn't be decrypted. The Germans and Allies were doing it all the time during WWII, and interception was expected (if a message couldn't be intercepted, then there would be no need for encryption). One of the failures I see with networks like TOR is the misapplication of encryption for anonymity. Anonymizing data (ie. stripping out metadata) is a separate discipline. The two can certainly be combined, but they are not the same thing.
When I connect to my online banking, I have some expectation that my identity will be known. I'm not relying on the secrecy of the transaction, I'm relying on the inability of a middle man being able to gleen any details of the transaction.
The primary criticism of PHP these days is the library. Yes, a lot of work has gone into cleaning things up, but PHP is weighted down by a lot of legacy cruft. This is true of most languages as they evolve, but PHP's beginnings were so mucky, that supporting legacy code has bequeathed to PHP programmers a gawdawful set of core libraries. But if you stick to the modern feature set, it's no better and no worse than many scripting languages.
I still have a thing against Javascript. I find it tiresome and inelegant, but it's the way you're going to code interactivity in a browser, so there are you are.
The average commute time in th United States is 26 minutes one way. Yes, there are plenty of exceptions, but the fact is that an EV would be suitable vehicle for most Americans. Not all, but most.
Well, guys like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh are making pretty good coin off of these groups. That's the amusing part, they don't even really see how they're being played by people who are basically entertainers. Breitbart falls under this umbrella now, as does Fox News.

Trump won by margins of error. Quit talking like it was some tremendous victory

Considering the importance of networks to commerce in the 21st century, you can't really separate NN from trade.

My ISP can do the same with my VPN. It's not some tool for concealing every aspect of the communication.
Yes, but what my banking app doesn't do is hide that an IP address provisioned to me connected to a bank web server. The whole point of SSL is to obscure with a high degree of rigor what exactly it was I was doing connecting to the bank.

If there's a private key involved, short of a vulnerability in the encryption library, why would this allow Google to siphon your data?

If you think Java is dead and no one programs in it, then you must have an extremely small circle of programmers.
How's 2005 treating you?
The average commute time in th United States is 26 minutes one way. Yes, there are plenty of exceptions, but the fact is that an EV would be suitable vehicle for most Americans. Not all, but most.
Shocking story but powertrains in vehicles fail to. And most EVs seem to have warranties on batteries of 10 years
And you wonder why you can't get laid.
Well, guys like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh are making pretty good coin off of these groups. That's the amusing part, they don't even really see how they're being played by people who are basically entertainers. Breitbart falls under this umbrella now, as does Fox News.
Let's talk about how a lot of Incels and white nationalists need some serious psychotherapy. That and stop being gullible morons.
