I am completely intrigued by this 12-15 minutes from off to loaded desktop. It sounds like you've brought this up to your boss, as you are billing them for that time, and they have no immediate interest in fixing it. Sounds like an easy 15 minutes of pay.
Do you think the government should be able to retrieve your private conversations on an analyst's "hunch"?
Does that analyst work for the government or a Company X located in Country Y? If they work for Company X located in Country Y then no warrants or other oversight required.
toss someone like Clapper under the bus along with a few low level admin types like snowdens coworkers who broke some rule somewhere some time they will.
Wouldn't it be easier to just not renew the contract for the private company that Snowden worked for?
Most of the problems I see are not regulatory but technical.
these are certainly able to handle an unexpected gust of wind
Please find a reference for this. My Googlefu does not return expected results. Perhaps the big boys (Plane trying to land at Birmingham Airport in the winds) will have this solved first.
Amazon checks your house on Google maps
I live in the city. Think Boston or New York. So people living in cities are out of the question? How viable is that?
simply send a drone to survey your yard
This sounds costly for the number of rejections in a city.
Until there is a service where you physically posses your encryption key, this is all the same clear-text data laying on disk, wrapped in SSL when it's moving. Still subject to eveasdropping.
Encryption of email is the fix and these are the companies we need to cooperate with to get it implemented in their software. Except reading those emails is what makes them money.
The government on the other hand can imprison me, force me to implicate friends, blackmail me, or even torture and kill me.
I thought they contracted out a lot of that to private companies. Sort of like how Snowden didn't work for the NSA. Who else do these companies work for?
When traveling in a country where throwing garbage on the ground is acceptable, I came across a pile of garbage beside a brick wall. Above the garbage was a sign that said "No Dumping". Not a piece of garbage in sight except under that sign.
I'm getting pretty tired of seeing extension cords snaking through parking lots and parking garages.
I wondered how I would power an electric in my underground (no outlets) and have yet to see the extension cord snaking where I live. I assumed that the parking lot/garage would just forbid it by unplugging or cutting those extensions.
And yet you did not specify your definition of "amateur" or "professional" other than the time it takes to compose and master. The Rolling Stones quite frequently play bars in Toronto. Not sure I'd call them amateur.
You have been moderated down for providing the correct answer?? Perhaps the person who moderated you down doesn't understand the money involved and how this works. Perhaps some examples
Hostess stocks the chips in Costo, not Costco employees. The chips are shipped in boxes on pallets. The Hostess employee stocks the chips, stacks the empty boxes on a pallet, wraps it, and has the forklift driver put it back in the truck.
The pallets goods are shipped on can be worth good money. We are talking pallets like CHEP. Not only will CHEP pick them up, but there are 3rd party companies that will do the same. Who even know that there is a pallet magazine or a pallet forum??
as I understand it Bitcoins are infinitely divisible so when coins are lost the value will go up for the remaining coins to compensate, so prices will simply adjust.
I could not find the website, email address, or phone number to report lost Bitcoins. If they aren't reported lost then how would they know if I didn't just put them under my mattress? If they have been reported lost, can they be reinstated later when they are found?
the islands had been the private property of a Japanese citizen
Private property rights mean nothing if you cannot defend them. If I punch you in the face and take your phone, you can claim all the property rights you want. Unless you defend those rights by way of war or law that phone will be in my possession and I will now claim ownership.
Ownership is lawyer speak in that you have to be able to defend those things you own. If you cannot defend the things you own then it won't matter if you claim ownership when it is in my possession.
In fact, we often see that several officers conspired to give us a story to make themselves look better in the exchange.
A kid was shot and killed by Police back in July. Had a passerby not videotaped it we would not know what the actual sequence of events were. Now we can ask the question of why he was tasered after 9 shots were fired.
The 18-year-old was alone on a streetcar and wielding a knife when police fired nine shots at him, then tasered him just after midnight July 27.
Over 20 uniformed police officers were present and no one stepped forward to stop the gun shots or offer any mediation

Perhaps knowledge that cancer runs in your family is enough for an employer or insurance company to balk.

Did you turn off locations services when using Wifi?
Does "turn off" mean the NSA doesn't get the information or just you?
Still, it would make going to the washroom unpleasant.
Very interesting experiment.

And sell toilet paper outside the washroom.

Great for tethering a camera.
Exactly! A giant net is still the best option.
That's a really narrow definition of music.

Second, this system could be used in China sooner than here, and being tested by a large package delivery
Legalizing it doesn't make it practical. You obviously haven't been to China to realize that delivering to a Condo tower doesn't work and leaving a package out front would be stolen in a matter of seconds.

NO right to complain to the courts if the cops beat the crap out of you
I haven't been able to find any evidence of this particular claim. The others yes, but not this. Perhaps you could provide a reference for it?
the Hokou system is probably the biggest violations of basic human rights in the world today
"Biggest" is subjective. Ask a Chinese woman if she would rather have the Hokou system or be honour killed for not wearing a hijab.

The owners didn't seem to mind otherwise they would have done something about it.
Too bad there isn't a detour sign.
China, as in the one where the vast majority of people live well below the poverty level and die in their 40s
If the majority of people died in their 40's, I would expect the life expectancy to be around that number.
According to the CIA Factbook it is 74.99 using the 2012 rank. That is 3.63 less than the United States.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2102rank.html
Since both numbers are pretty close, an im not a mathematician or native of the US, do most people die in their 40's there?
