If you really need privacy, you pull the phone battery....and if you might need privacy, you don't buy a phone that can't have its battery pulled.
Not really any solutions, as long as people are walking around with what amount to wireless microphones in their pockets this will always be a potetial problem.
Except, if they are that advanced they likely wouldn't even bother. We would be far more likely to not even see it as an invasion, hell they wouldn't even see it as an invasion.....no more than we see it as an invasion when we bleach the toilet.
If anything we are far more likely to have them giving us their version of the smallpox infested blankets.
The real problem is size. Make the system big enough spanning enough territory and enough people and it can be so distant from them as to basically be an abstract.
I did a quick back of the envelope calculation once looking at approximate number of eligible voters at the country's founding, vs now and number of federal reps/senators then and now. Do you have any concept of how the system has utterly failed to scale?
for representation levels to be similar to the founding.... we would need approximately 100k people....IN CONGRESS.
The idea that around 500 or so people can represent 300 million is just absolute farce. They couldn't hope to if they even wanted to.
I think Kruchev said it best "Politicians are the same all over; they promise to build a bridge, even where there is no river".
Doesn't matter what the claimed ideology, doesn't matter the system, people in power will say whatever they have to say, truth or not, sequitor or not, if it means staying in power. Power and principles are mostly mutually exclusive.
As an American myself, I really can't find any fault there. I have been saying basically the same to my countrymen for years. That said, its not us.....its the Aristocratic ruling class that we wont admit exists.
I only disagree in that, version control just isn't that hard and doesn't take that much education to get started with. A lot of the problem really is more about it looking intimidating with a couple of new terms people need to get used to. I could show a person how to use git as a normal user in about 5 minutes.
Couple it with a system like maven and who needs sharepoint? Sure its a bit more setup work for the admin but, its very flexible and easy to use.
However when police perform illegal searches they ARE people doing bad things, and this IS giving them a get out of jail free card. As far as I am concerned an illegal search is a terrible violation, and deserving of a felony conviction.
"I don't understand my job" is no excuse; and frankly, look where its gotten us, the only reason there are not many many more TONS of evidence tossed out by illegal searches is most people give up without a fight in the face of our abusive system which will do everything in its power to strong arm people into giving up their right to a trial.
Frankly, I think we should get rid of pleas entirely, automatic not-guiolty plea for all cases, you MUST fight it; that way a prosecutor must file honest charges and not try to present two massively different options in hopes of not having evidence seen or contested.
See and this is why its bullshit. I can be charged for crimes even if I had no malicious intent. I cannot use ignorance of the law as my excuse. Mens Rea is a double standard that has no place here, and certainly no place being applied to the very people who enforce the law which doesn't give us the same benefit.
Mens Rea is a tyrants argument if it doesn't apply to everyone.
Wait so, distros are using systemd because redhat chose it.... meaning a big enough player pushed it? However, this is NOT the case for upstart, which, is what Redhat chose last time and is replacing systemd with now?
Exactly this. How many other professions would look you right in the eye and claim its not their fault that they don't understand the parameters of their own job!
If there is ANYTHING a cop should be a fucking expert on, its when he can and can't arrest someone. If he isn't, then that really is negligence. On his part, on his departments part. If they really are that incompetent they don't deserve to be cops.
This. One thing I have never understood this sequence:
1. Cop searches car illegal. 2. Court tosses out evidence.
So far so good. No qualms there with the court....
3. Cop is NOT charged with a crime, continues working
That never made any sense. If the search was illegal, he didn't have the authority to do it...so it was....by very definition....outside the parameters of his job. He was NOT acting as a police officer if he was conducting an illegal search.
In fact, if anything he was denying a person their civil rights under color of law....which is a felony. Why should he NOT be charged? Why should a prosecutor even be allowed to know about such an event and not bring up charges?
And no, I am in now way saying such evidence should be used.... I understand fruit of a poisined treee, I just don't understand allowing trees to be poisoned and hoping nobody notices next time.
Bullshit. The courts only "agree" because he took a plea bargain. You can't actually take anything of value from that, esepcially in a country where the law is structured to allow major trumping up of charges if one refuses to take a deal.... even people who believe they are innocent often plead guilty in the face of that.
ROTFL you mean an underpaid, overworked public defender who doesn't barely have time to actually represent you? yah that works real well. Public defeders are barely adequet for a plea bargain most of the time. Shit a friend of mine had one and when he sat down with her she hadn't even bothered to look at his case.
reminds me a lot of a guy who lives in NH. He was a pot dealer who was a member of a local political group that the feds wanted to keep tabs on. So what did they do? They offered a heroin dealer a wrist slap if he would help nail the pot dealer.
The pot dealer gets nabbed, and told he will be given a sweetheart deal if he spys on the policitcal group...he says no so they railroad the fuck out of him to make an example of what happens when you don't act like the sniveling peon you are.
I guess one needs to actually work for you to find out why its crap.
I don't work with C much but generally speaking, that looks really clear and easy to follow to me. The case itself may be simple enough to use a return statement directly in place of the goto but, if you needed to do any further massaging of the output that was common to all/most return paths, that goto seems like a fine way to do it to me....or do you want to put that in yet another function and let the compiler handle optimizing/inlining if need be?
I was wondering that too, but, there is another one.... what if the real issue was simply Djikstra's underestimation of how obvious the pitfalls with goto are.
Its easy to accidentally cut yourself with a knife, its also easy to see the danger and most people learn to use one without cutting themselves pretty quickly. The pitfalls are easy to see, and making mistakes causes pain.... much like Goto.
The problems with it are easy to see if you just use it a few times. I learned to use goto in applesoft basic, after my first session of learning C, it was obvious I would never want to use goto again.
In fact, after learning a bit of C, it was far less obvious that I would want goto at all than that I would generally not.
You know, I never gave it too muich thought but, I have really good vision (better than 20/20). So while I have never been up close and personal with a real movie house screen, from my seat, with the projector off, I have noticed they seem to not be flat white but appear to have lots of holes in them. I wonder now if what I was noticing was some feature fordealing with contrast.
Actually the numbers themselves are almost meaningless but are a nice general gauge, especially when they are user reviews.
The correct way, I think, to use them is to look for a few high scores, and then read the low and medium score reviews. Are the 1 star reviews people who don't even like this type of game? Thats actually a GOOD sign of a decent game.
Are the 1 star reviews complaining about bugs and play control? Watch out.
Overall though, after checking this stuff out, I almost always watch at least the first 5-10 minutes of gameplay walkthrough before deciding to buy. I hate being duped by cutscenes.
Did that actually sound clever or make sense when you posted it? I don't know what more to say other than you clearly don't seem to understand some very basic concepts to such an amazing level I don't even feel I have the time to begin.
Sure but that 62% isn't exactly justifying their existance either....in fact.... it points to a deeper reason why we shouldn't have them.... the people who decide what is and isn't law, and who decide when they get used or not, those people are clearly not responsible enough to have such an ability at their disposal.
Well forged IDs are not necessarily used for a crime with a victim, they don't have to be in a real persons name, and if a bank account is all thats opened well. A person using a fake id to rent servers, who pays up front for the service isn't victimizing anyone.
As for weapons....lol I wonder if any were even sold. I bet that entire darkweb site was just cops buying stuff from cops trying to sting eachother.
Also, weapons are a persons right to bear, the US constitution recognizes that as a right more fundamental than itself saying the right "will not be infringed". So as long as he is being tried in the US, any weapons charge would be hypocritical and unconstitutional (which of course, means it will happen because, we are not actually a nation of laws)
Only thing I ever bought on such a site myself was some hard to find but otherwise legal (might have been amt? been a while). These drugs tend to move in darker circles because they are legal to posess but not to sell "for human consumption", and tend to be made illegal once they get discovered, that is, if they get at all popular.
Same experience though, saw product, placed order, sent bitcoin.....got product as advertised.
Bullshit. I ran an exit node for quite a while and look at me, posting here, with no convictions for anything other than driving with a license I didn't realize had expired (which, IMO is a petty thing to haul a person into court over, the entire justice system really is a jobs program).
So nice try but, the only reason I stopped running an exit node was the hassle involved from anti-spammers. Even though my exit node didn't allow exit on port 25 or any other mail related ports except pop and imap.... even though.... sometimes the operators of other mail servers get a bug in their ass about accepting mail from a tor exit node.
