Bad guys don't know how to go to Staples.com and buy a Diamond shredder? Staples.com doesn't actually carry diamond-cut shredders. At least, none that I can find. The smallest shred size I can find there is 3.175mm x 9.525 mm. By compar

in order to get the message out it has to set the message using deliberate PR strategy As soon as you start talking about "the message" instead of "the truth", you've lost me. That's the domain of proselytizers, advertisers, propagandists

From the description of "Diagnostics & Usage" reporting on the device itself, it sounds as though the carriers can only obtain that data via Apple. This would reconcile that wording with the finding that selecting "Don't Send" appears

The introduction appears to mix fact, speculation, and editorializing. For instance, under the subheading "Weaponizing Data Kills Innocent People", it talks about "Intelligence Integration Systems, Inc" (IISi) and "Netezza", neither of whic

That statement is rather difficult to evaluate without knowing what such theories you're referring to.

It confuses me that this particular comment was found objectionable by at least six people. You guys are weird, sometimes. Here is an example of a warrant of seizure issued by the United States District Court, Southern District of New Yor

But they didn't bother to verify this. They just checked logs, found a Russian ip address, and without doing an investigation started shouting "Russian Terror Attack!" and went to full on red alert. As plausible as that is, it doesn't sou

What warrant? A seizure warrant, as signed by a judge. (Compare "search warrant", "arrest warrant"). Nobody is being charged with a crime. That's not what a warrant is. Warrants are issued on the basis of probable cause. You probably un

How do you feel about arrests?

by GHFigs 15y ago
The burden of proof for these seizures was far less than a judge-issued warrant Meaning what, exactly?
373.
by GHFigs 15y ago
There is no warrant. Yes, there is. The issue is whether anybody should have the power to grant such a warrant, not that warrants were not obtained.

This is something that occurs constantly in large cities all over the country. From the horse's mouth: http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/releases/2011/110316washingto... 19,959 seizures in FY2010, with an average value[1] of $9,425. In add

How do you objectively compare the societal benefit of a mathematician versus a historian so that you can mete their funding accordingly? From the article: The government will soon start evaluating college majors by their employment rates

by GHFigs 15y ago
The problem is not (e.g.) poets and historians, but that the supply of people-qualified-to-be-poets and people-qualified-to-be-historians exceeds the demand for them. (Full disclosure: I am a high school dropout, so I'm not qualified to do

I think the issue here is the language used. The research usually describes things in such a way that "rational = maximizing" and and the phenomena cataloged are "errors" or "biases" that make human behavior fall short of maximizing. So, yo

Why are you even asking? Because this (and several other comments on this submission) appear to attack Gruber for not talking about Android, and I think that is an extremely unfair criticisim given that he was speaking to iOS and Mac deve

It's disingenuous to focus on Apple at a Mac/iOS-centric symposium?

It sickens me that the police would waste the time prosecuting this, instead of catching murderers and rapists who are free. Do you honestly believe that the two are exclusive?

Writing software is not the only kind of creation.

I don't understand what you're driving at. Software represents only a fraction of "everything that's on the Internet", creators of software only a fraction of creators in general, and creators in general being only a fraction of "the masses

It's an issue of ethics, morality and emotion. If that's the case, why didn't you address the issue with the kind of gravity and seriousness that such an issue demands instead of resting on such a vapid comment as the one which our fellow
