Can you explain, I'm not seeing how you get that from the anti-pattern.

Right. And it's not uncommon for backend services to access internal data via REST endpoints.

Gotcha, I completely glossed over the SSD options. Since I replace my machine frequently enough for work, 32gb and 1TB is plenty for me for the work I do.

Who would ensure that the license holder has the rights to issue a cert? IIRC Getty Images was sued for allegedly claiming copyrights on images it did not actually have rights to.

I can't come up with a concrete use case for using multiple keys to access the same data (#8). I'm trying to wrap my head around an example of a single value that would be accessed ~1-million times a second that would be cached an

Exactly. Prohibiting access to smart phones to prevent social media surveillance is like prohibiting access to computers to prevent accessing pornography.

Things may have changed, but in my prior life when I had a clearance, for example, dating (or marrying for that matter) a foreign national would result in heavy vetting, including possibly losing your clearance and/or being terminated.

IANAL, but isn't that why the designation of legal guardian exists--to allow someone else to make decisions on behalf of someone else? I think the point you are trying to make is that a legal guardian cannot offer consent that is unlaw

Hah. Yeah. Sorry I meant, what would be the legal basis for the suit?

Windows doesn't have a system level key store. Instead the Windows API's have a symmetric encryption API (DPAPI) that allows developers to supply plain text, and receive cipher text. It would then be up to developers to persist th
