No, it is not. The two are intricately linked. Freedom without privacy is not possible. However, privacy is easier for the forces of evil to attack, as most people fail to see the link. Usually, when it comes to placing cameras into people's bedrooms, even the most stupid "I have nothing to hide" morons start to notice something.
As soon as you make a decision who can have privacy and who cannot, you have already lost the moral argument completely. Next steps: "abc" did not deserve free speech. Then "abc" did not deserve any freedom at all. And finally "abc" did not deserve to live. Look up "genocide" for the next step after that and for the overall approach "evil".
In a free society, people must be able to experiment with ideas and thoughts. Some of these thoughts and ideas will by the very nature of the process be, to put it mildly, problematic. Other will threaten holders of power. Hence, in order to no have to self-censor, people must have privacy in the spaces they use to evolve their ideas and opinions and that is what a free society is all about. Today, these spaces are more often than reflected in the computing equipment people own.
Sure, many people do not use these freedoms or only use them rarely. That does not matter one bit. If they are missing, freedom goes out the window and tyranny sets in. And tyranny is far, far worse than any other threat could ever be.
I like the deep irony you are using here: Posting as an AC that "privacy is not worth protecting", refuting your own claim before you even make it. Well done!
As soon as you involve the phone-system, you are compromised. However, you can have a secure voice-chat, with numerous technologies. If you run your own server, something like mumble may serve. Needs a dedicated client, but security is apparently pretty good. Works on Linux.
In basically all cases it is "no traditional degree" == "no degree".
The graduates (well, sort-of) will have nothing they can use to pursue a regular job, so they are tied in wage-slavery to the few companies that hire people from this institution. The "test" at the start with 72...84h work weeks is a dead giveaway as well as to what the "quality" of this education will be.
It is. But AFAIK rowhammer has only be demonstrated against laptops. Laptops often have slowed-down refresh cycles to conserve power. That is what makes rowhammer possible in the first place.
The dumb one here is you. It refers to the idea of the wheel, rather obviously. It does take 2 braincells to rub together to see that though, and you obviously lack these.
To anybody with a clue, that is not much of a problem. Kernel-upgrades for Linux (much unlike as those for a certain other OS) rarely cause significant problems.
And if we followed you flawed ideas, we would need to re-invent the hammer every few years. We would typically making it worse, because it is a finished and mature design that does what it is supposed to do. Engineering resources are supposed to go to actual problems, not into gold-plating.
Experiments are fine. But do not push things that are not significantly better on users. Systemd is a nice example of how massively bad for everybody that can be. The damage to the community alone is staggering.
Indeed. That already tells us that either there is no backdoor, or they are unable to use it effectively. And all that can be seen without even a single technological argument. Just needs a few working brain-cells.

It was an older model with known flaws. They never said anything about the newer ones.
That one is simple: For Tim Cook, it is a flash of inspiration that goes "off". Your you it is a dim glow that starts to come "on".

Well, "hard work" = "bad work" in almost all cases. Some people (like the typical CEO) can only do bad work and so compete on volume only.
Sounds accurate. Boot-camp to sweatshop to homelessness. Or maybe they have some way to recycle these people into prison after they are burned out?

He is probably more interested in the public echo than in actually helping anybody.
It is. But AFAIK rowhammer has only be demonstrated against laptops. Laptops often have slowed-down refresh cycles to conserve power. That is what makes rowhammer possible in the first place.
Except against laptops, that is often easy as they use too slow refresh-cycles to safe power. That makes rowhammer very easy.
But I have yet to find a credible example of it working _at_ _all_ against correctly refreshed memory.
... and reprocess the "waste" until it's so low energy that it can't hurt anyone.
That is actually not possible. You have no clue what you are talking about.
Fascinating. New heights of stupidity of the AC are revealed. A true cave-man, and one of the non-smart ones.
Do you even know what a "known vulnerability" in software is? Here is a hint: Loading it from a DVD does not help one bit it is still vulnerable.
Yes, but with a fuzzy and hard to pin down server. That will record and analyze all your conversations.
Fortunately, Steam lets you do that when the hype begins to crumble. The too-high price should have warned me earlier though.

Packaging systems are not broken at all. WTF are you talking about?
Indeed. The 5 Eyes are now places of evil to stay away from.

Just my thought. I mean it is not as if they could do a much worse job or be more expensive.
