This is an ok start, but really there's a whole chain of people including the President who need to be replaced in order to stop the NSA from gathering the world's largest blackmail treasure trove.

I remember reading about a service provider who put up such a dead man switch - a web page saying they hadn't been served an NSL, which they would presumably take down once served. Here we go: http://brokenhut.livejournal.co

Comparing the amount of agency one has while committing suicide with the amount one has while being raped is inflammatory and completely ridiculous.

Being minority leader might actually hurt her in this case - not only does she support bad things, she influences the rest of the party to support bad things. So voting against her is especially worthwhile.

Especially if the House of Lords is deciding the issue!

I meant the part about centralized power being highly suspect. We have certainly seen all too well recently that that part is true.

Heh - I think the younger programmers were right on that one.

It is possible to harm the USG and help the US at the same time.

That is certainly what the NSA seems to be claiming, and coincidentally it is the most convenient interpretation for them. But it seems highly bogus to me. Has the RIAA ever worried about whether downloaders actually listened to the content

For call metadata, the pen register comparison might fly. If they are storing content, as is likely, it won't. The beginning of the article on standing does raise questions I hadn't thought about. How would you decide the penalty

It looks like "lack of judicially discoverable and manageable standards for resolving it" doesn't apply here. The 4th amendment clearly applies to the question of whether the government should be recording your mother's

I get it - not everyone has the bandwidth to worry about these things. But that is what makes RMS all the more valuable. Because the alternative is toys you can't fix yourself, and software which you can't fix yourself. Eventually

Wyden and Udall discuss the point where the NSA is misleading, but the point where they lie is covered in a "classified attachment": http://www.wyden.senate.gov/news/blog/post/wyden-and-udall-t...

This is a little creepy and Skynet-ish, but compared to the massive CF that is NSA's unconstitutional, invasive, pile of private information, it's just a distraction. It's no different than when the police fly over your house

For me, they would have to show me which of my phone calls was used to stop a threat.

by Uhhrrr 13y ago
So, if I wanted to listen in on some phone calls, would the best course of action be to bribe one of these thousands of analysts, blackmail them, threaten them, or steal their laptop? Asking for a friend in a foreign intelligence service.

The Tycho essay is on the main URL and (almost?) always contains a link to the day's comic. So the essay can't come out ahead of time. I speculate that their "use model" is that you click refresh on the main site on MWF

You might be too young to remember why laws like FISA exist. The government really has abused its wiretapping capabilities for political ends in the past. So the fear is not irrational at all. You seem to care about a lot of political issue

37% approve, which seems pretty high. I wonder what the response would have been if it the question wasn't phrased as "the government obtained records", but as "the government obtained your records".

I'm jealous - not of the Finnish babies, but of the companies who provide the boxes and the contents. It must be a nice sinecure. You'd probably have lots of free time to send press releases to the BBC.

TFA has coffee as being bad for creative thought and good for doing stupid things fast. I would bet that the various effects are bi- or n-modal. For me, it's GREAT for creative thought and pretty bad when it comes time to get things done, s
