Visual studio code has an arm build now [0]. I don't know what regular VS is written on but assuming it's .NET framework I assume a build will show up as the framework itself improves on ARM. [0]: https://github.com&#x2

If we stop putting speech on a pedestal for just a second and consider it as a subset of all the actions someone can perform: if I buy products from a $clothingBrand and one of their C-levels commits a hate crime am I allowed to stop buying

'Nasty things' is a little bit nebulous. If the nasty thing in this case is this phrase: 'blacks are disagreeable.' I would absolutely either demand that person be fired or take my business elsewhere. I think furthering

If I'm a small business owner and I buy billboard space from a guy (Jimmy) who also sells billboard space to advertisers who publish racist/sexist content, is it unreasonable for me to spend my money elsewhere until Jimmy quits hi

https://careers.nba.com/employees/ this list might be cherry-picked, but this looks like a pretty (at least racially/phenotypically) diverse list of people. I assume you are actually thinking about NBA teams, but

Denying service obviously requires discrimination: you normally provide the service, but you intentionally don't provide the service to certain customers you pick out from the rest. But jim crow laws aren't bad because they are ju

I don't think more than half a percent of taxpayers know about top500, and I don't think many who know even care how their country ranks.

This kind of thinking is what inspired by (root) parent comment. If we don't like our government putting people in the "capture and torture" risk management scenario, we need to act politically to prevent that from happening,

I'm saying that law enforcement probably doesn't need such intrusive surveillance, and that better results without violations of civil liberties could be acheived if we spent more money on it (or spent our current outlays better

I think it was on a post about FBI surveillance, someone pointed out that one of the big advantages of all of these surveillance methods are not just that they may miss some cases, but that they are much cheaper than lawful interventions. I

I think that if a government agency thinks it can get away with away with wiretapping on the PRISM scale, it or another government agency also will think it can get away with abductions, torture, and killing.

Agreed.

Consider that we have openssl and libressl (a fork) for open source ssl libraries (if I'm missing any please correct me). With gag orders and infiltration, is it unrealistic to assume that the NSA at least could backdoor both of them

A novel (to me) thought: if we count on the government not to break our crypto (edit: originally said break the law, I don't want to comment on the legality of nsa actions here, it strikes me as off topic), we are already screwed. A mi

I had forgotten about that. Thank you for the insight.

You mean random Israeli citizens refuse OTA updates while abroad anywhere? Can you elaborate, I feel like I'm missing something important.

Any backdoor method I can think of has downsides that could be be compensated for by a cryptographic backdoor, but I'm sure they have invested a lot in backdoors and every level.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

I'm familiar with mag locking and all of the "featureless" difficulties, I was just being brief. However I understand center fire refers to the cartridge/primer configuration and I'm not really sure why that matters

>An AR-15 with a 16in barrel is 30in with the stock collapsed and cannot be much shorter without the stock because of the buffer tube. Telescoping stocks maybe not (my inexperience showing there) but folding stocks definitely can take it

I don't know why you're worried about sears because either they are unregistered and illegal or registered and covered under the firearm sale ban. Adjustable stocks are arguably a concern because they make building rifles shorter

You might have to agree to follow traffic laws to get your driver's license, but that doesn't mean you can't seek to improve them.

Well this is probably not the case if you are an American. See US code title 18 section 2516 paragraph 1.

I'm sure that if the US had as strict control over our/their internet as China does over theirs, non-US sites would be forced to operate differently for peers in the US too.

Do you think there is no situation where it can be lawful for a law enforcement agency to perform a wiretap?

by 6AA4FD 6y ago
You're right, and that detail about the UN not denying it (but her claims) makes me a lot less skeptical. Either way I'm very skeptical of the Chinese government w/r/t human rights and I appreciate you drawing attention

I should clarify: most americans think everyone is entitled to some right called "free speech" but there are philosophical justifications of this that cut across the boundary between ideas and acts (kind of hard to summarize it) t
