Wow. Why in the world was this post modded down? I'm really curious what made this post worth downmodding?
I am starting to think that Slashdot should change their no posting on stories you moderate and replacing it with requiring a public post (anonymous) explaining the reason for the mod
Your solution still works. They didn't break that.
This works for those people who want some extra security without having to walk family that live across the country how to decrypt the email they just got from you
And say you have a no AIs policy, what about people with disabilities that will rely on them to make phone calls on their behalf? Should they disclose their disability to you to get an exception to the rule, or just be forced to use inferior technologies
When I get a call from someone that relies on a person speaking on their behalf (translators or the ones that relay for the deaf), they announce themselves. They don't pretend to be the person speaking.
Unlike the US intelligence agencies leaking all starts of anti-Trump stuff that is proven false. Like the Steel dossier? In fact, now that judges are demanding in-redacted files from the FBI, we are starting to see the full scope.
Those stories have received much more exposure than any amount of Facebooks ads could have done.
Obama did more for the Russians than Trump ever could (pulling out of the missile defense program in Poland, the Iran deal, reducing or military.) Trump has undone much of that. If Trump is bought and paid for by Russia, he certainly isn't showing it.
I find it amazing how the FBI and CIA is no longer considered "the Man" but noble freedom patriots by the left.
Unless being a "self-declared white supremacist" was the single issue that made enough people vote for the crook.
You just had another election where the possible under-age allegations against a candidature was enough to get someone not elected even though his party has a larger share of the vote
Wasn't there a few stories about crimials leaving USB devices in parking lots with virus and rootkits? People would pick them up and plug them into their work computer hoping for interesting photos or documents?
It's a show vote that has no point of passing and doesn't really do much. They ackwoldge it doesn't have a chance of passing.
It's being done just to force people to go on record for an issue that ranks very low on most people's list of concerns.
I might end up getting worse resolution on Netflix? Well I guess that outweighs my concerns on Health Care, Korea, Iran, taxes, jobs, etc... Most people outside of a small subset of people on tech sites do not think this way.
Honestly, would you vote for an pro-life, pro reduction of illegal immigration, pro gun republican because he was for net neutrality and the democrat was against it?
Maybe your history books do but most history books I had growing up and that my kids have who are in school have no trouble criticizing the US in history. And I live in Texas
But regardless of history, I'm not sure how you think our policy should be different? Just let them do whatever they want and hope they never set their sites on us or our allies again? Because what you are writing pretty states that they have every reason to hate us so we would be fools not to be watching and trying to mitigate how much damage they can do.
The flaw is that most American's don't care about this.
wonkavader is right about how the democrats see it. The thing is, it's too transparent. Anyone that is pro-Trump will see right through it. Anyone that is against Trump will see this as buisness as usual. The people on the fence will either stay on the fence or see it as more pointless grandstanding politics.
This might be a critical or moving issue if we didn't have the Iran, Korea, Healthcare, tax, and job stuff in the news but we do.
Maybe if the Republicans who controlled congress hadn't started with "make Obama a 1-term president" as their primary stated goal
That's every parties goal. Do you honestly think the democrats are trying to not assist Trump?
and pretty much refused anything he put forward whether or not they or their constituents agreed with it or it was good for the country.
On the high publicity stuff there were fundamental differences of opinion on what was good for the country. Overall, during Obama's tenure congress passed almost 2 thousand new laws, over 3500 resolutions, and almost 50 thousand other pieces of legislation. https://www.govtrack.us/congre...
When you compare Trumps first year to Obama's you see who Obama was very successful. Heck, if you compare Trumps first year to when the republicans took over the house under Obama, you see that Republicans are much less likely to vote on party lines than democrats.
I do searches expecting whitespaces and hate those searches that ignore it.
If I am searching for the word pat, I add a whitespace before or after it so I don't get every result that has pat in the word (pattern, patient, patsy, etc)
How would you fix that? Limit what people are allowed to say or share?
People choose to allow their lives to be public. It's not necessarily a smart choice, but it is their choice.
I have a facebook account that is essentially an online photo album for my friends and family to see. My wife has one that she uses to share everything under the sun. Short of making her wait until we return to town from a vacation to post vacation pics, it's her life and her choice.
We both are aware of the risks. She gets allot more out of her facebook experience than I do but I have a safer online presence than she does.
Heck, my Slashdot profile would get me in much more trouble than my facebook one.
Slashdot Mirror
Don't worry. My post will go from +2 to -1 troll/flame bait within an hour or two :)
Are the Russian's out to get me too by modding me down or is it "the Man!"?
People downmod what they don't agree with. You don't need an international conspiracy to explain that.
Google has you taken care of... sign up for google voice :)

Are you encrypting your apostrophes? Because I have to admit, you successfully made your post difficult for me to decrypt.

Who gets to decide what needs disclosing though?
And say you have a no AIs policy, what about people with disabilities that will rely on them to make phone calls on their behalf? Should they disclose their disability to you to get an exception to the rule, or just be forced to use inferior technologies

In allot of states, only one party needs to be aware.

When we try to address our own sovereignty, we hear talk about how we are evil nationalists
Wasn't there a few stories about crimials leaving USB devices in parking lots with virus and rootkits? People would pick them up and plug them into their work computer hoping for interesting photos or documents?
When I worked at UHC, my company disabled read and write access to cell phones. In fact, the job I'm working at now does the same.
I can charge my phone from the ports but can't access or write to my phone.
You didn't answer my question. Would that issue make you vote for a republican candidate that was pro-net neutrality (and lets say pro immigration?)
Are you really saying there is no single issue that would cause you not to vote for a person?

No one said "do nothing". People just stated that a trade war is a pretty stupid policy... there are smarter ways of doing things.
So far you have been silent on what those things are
Maybe your history books do but most history books I had growing up and that my kids have who are in school have no trouble criticizing the US in history. And I live in Texas
But regardless of history, I'm not sure how you think our policy should be different? Just let them do whatever they want and hope they never set their sites on us or our allies again? Because what you are writing pretty states that they have every reason to hate us so we would be fools not to be watching and trying to mitigate how much damage they can do.
So what do you suggest? Sanctions against small weak countries only?
I have an SD slot on my note 8 and on my Mate 9
Apparently that's not the case given this story

Every year we are adding 22 Billion tons to the weight of the earth. Sooner or later, that's going to start having an effect.
Like the hollow center collapsing?
I knew Journey to the Center of the Earth was more fact than fiction!
Way to double down on being wrong. Nice fallback "It's Tennessee."
