If the pilot light fails for long time and then is fixed, boom.

I think it makes sense. In a lecture you're having to learn at the pace of the lecturer. If it's too slow or too fast you lose interest. At home on your own you go at your own pace.

It's sort of a moot point. It's not especially difficult to scrape HN and compile a dataset like this for yourself.

Wells Fargo's website did this to me. It's ridiculous how crappy their website is.

>They'd never be able to introduce evidence from that in a court case, which is what their goal is. This is often not true. Many cases have shown evidence of being put together through parallel construction. It's easy to find d

To be fair, stingrays now require warrants for anything other than immediate life/death situations and national security, and nothing is really private once they have a warrant.

It's also disgusting that there are only two states where inmates can vote. More disgusting that there are states where felons can't vote, ever, for the rest of their life. Making a mistake shouldn't remove your ability to be

Agreed, it's really the only feature I care about. I used a third party app exactly for this but it broke about half a year ago. I wonder if it broke intentionally because of Google.

There are Android apps that can do this, too. Or at least, there were up until about a year ago. Mine stopped working, perhaps intentionally by Google? Not sure.

The law can be broken, there is abundant evidence that it is broken constantly, and there is very little to no accountability when it is broken. There may as well be no law at all. The entire fucking program was illegal for years and it

If you really care about security from an organization like the NSA, the only option is either to have it be entirely air gapped or to be entirely open source, including BIOS and UEFI firmware and anything else that might run on the hardwar

Why is it unlikely? It's perfectly plausible to emulate any sort of hardware. What sort of magic sauce does Apple have to make a piece of hardware that can't be replicated and modified?

Or emulated, which I am sure is not difficult for NSA.

You're missing the point. They don't need to input a pin. There's no phone involved in the process at all. They image the memory and put it on some server for processing. If there's an intermediary step, like an HSM, it

The frequency is not really relevant. It was and is legal and faced no real opposition. >The purpose of the bulk surveillance is absolutely NOT to gather evidence against citizens. They admit themselves they gather bulk data on everythin

The city leadership and police department leadership being 100% unapologetic and unwavering in their actions says otherwise.

There are tons of examples of US agencies compelling service providers to make backdoors in their software to intercept encrypted information.

Ah yes, the infallible password that's really small and hard to see. I'm sure the guys at the NSA were all "man we'd need, like, a microscope or some shit to read that!" and just went to lunch and called it a day. T

These are mostly moot points. They don't have robots trying millions of passwords on phones. They make an image of the phone's memory and brute force it elsewhere. Even a 6 digit code would be cracked in seconds, at most.

Restrictions on speech, specifically with NSLs, can happen to only a few people but still be extremely significant. The example of the Lavabit email hosting service comes to mind. He was served with an NSL requiring him to nefariously gathe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum It's like you went to a website of logical fallacies and said to yourself, "how many of these can I commit on a single HN thread?" Fly away, troll.

No fly lists are a conspiracy theory? You have got to be a troll.

by beeboop 11y ago
You're saying reasoned debate is not possible with me when I call you out on a logical fallacy and you reiterate as a trump card, thinking you've won the discussion? Yeah, have fun with your head in the sand.

The problem is that both sides of the political spectrum are in favor on the problems being discussed here. Very few congress members are against the NSA spy program/NSLs/secrete courts/etc. They will bash republicans for bei

What you're saying is against everything else that has been said. He showed it to every teacher that day until he was sent to the office. He plugged it into the wall so it would beep and get the teacher's attention. I am sure he s

The administration knew it wasn't a bomb. If they actually thought it was a bomb, even slightly, they would have had a bomb drill. They have bomb drills for anonymous phone calls for shit's sake. They knew it was a hoax and he was

What he did is not impressive to literally anyone who has ever used a screwdriver. There is no initiative or creativity that goes into dumping the contents of a digital click into a pencil case. It was attention seeking.

It changes it dramatically. People are saying he got in trouble because of racist school administration being overzealous. The reality, according to the best information we have, is that he was intentionally antagonizing his teachers for at
