Exactly, thanks for stating it more clearly than I did. The NSA isn't claiming credible evidence of a specific threat to justify this for a limited period of time – they're collecting everything and sifting through it, in order to

You don't have to vote on every issue, candidate, or seat – there's no penalty for skipping questions. I do this routinely for issues where I either (a) don't feel qualified/informed enough, or (b) only a single candidat

Out of curiosity, how about if you were investigating potential crime, or tasked with crime prevention? In other words, crimes that you believe are being planned and may happen in the future, based on some non-individualized correlation (e.

You claimed the metadata collection program was "written about at length" and viewed as "OK". This is evidence from the judicial branch of the US government it is not, in fact, viewed as okay.

The NSA's giant database will be breached. It's only a matter of time. It could be state-sponsored (e.g. like the OPM theft), or it could be due to the NSA's own lack of internal security oversight. Maybe not this year, maybe

The issue is that virtually all practices will refuse to disclose any medical information to third parties without explicit written authorization. I'm certain a lot of this behavior is illegal, but people who don't know or choose

It was illegal then and it's illegal now. The circuit court didn't say "as of May 7th, 2015 this is illegal"; they said that the NSA exceeded the scope of surveillance authorized by Congress in October of 2001.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals at the federal level ruled that the metadata collection program "exceeds the scope of what Congress has authorized" and is therefore not supported by law, i.e. illegal. This happened on May 7th,

In Citizenfour, Snowden specifically highlights Clapper's testimony as one of the factors that solidified his decision to go public. Clapper not only deceived the American public, he quite literally was one of the reasons the program

I doubt people without a brain would get much out of drugs. So now it's my urine and substantial pieces of my health history, including a pretty good drug-directed guess of what the actual underlying health condition is. Hope it&#x27

Even better: at some of these employers, being treated therapeutically by a doctor with a DEA scheduled medicine forces you to take the urine test, fail it, and then inevitably listen to someone from HR ask you questions about your health h

It definitely would. "Okay, that's the fourth and final interview; you're hired, salary is within our range, now give us your urine so we can see if you're a heroin addict" is typically not how I like to start major

So you admit he lied to Congress and the American public, but think it was justified? What do you think would have happened had Clapper told the truth?

Seriously. Good software developers have other employment options that don't involve being treated like a criminal and having someone watch you urinate.

I've experienced this too. On a year 2000 Toyota with a couple hundred thousand miles on it, battery removal literally makes the car not know how to move for 10-15 minutes. The manual says that the car adapts to "driving style&quo

"A target that has no ill will to the U.S., but which is being monitored, needs better and more monitoring, not less. So if we’re in for a penny, we need to be in for a pound." This is profoundly sick.

Honest question: So I'm hired as a consultant. Someone gives me a database login to an Oracle machine. I haven't been presented with a license agreement for the Oracle database system, nor have I signed anything indicating I agree

If a storefront on the web asked me for an SSN, HTTPS or HTTP, I'd probably file a police report for the attempted identity theft. There's literally no other plausible reason to collect that information, unless he/she is a re

The best way for police to bring justice to victims of crime reliably is for them to obey the law during investigations, arrests, and trials.

Out of curiosity, which browsers/versions have you had trouble running in a VM?

It's a 32-bit IP address in decimal (sorry, base ten) form, IIRC.

Not at all surprising; there's evidence that cannabis use suppresses REM sleep. Anecdotally, people who suddenly stop taking it after long periods of use tend to report unusually vivid dreams.

I reported this to Github privately about a year ago – specifically, I asked why there isn't some visual indication when Git's `user.email` fails to match any of the Github account's verified e-mail addresses. If you commit w

Blanket prohibitions on moonlighting are illegal in California AFAICT, unless it's framed as a conflict-of-interest avoidance issue. See http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/LAB/1/d1/4/s96 , secti

It's not illegal to hack your own belongings. It may be illegal if you trespass on someone else's network to do so, or if you manage to provably put the public in danger, but merely discovering a security vulnerability and exploit

The Delta in-flight entertainment systems also (at least as of a couple years ago) seem to be Linux-based. I had one crash and reboot spontaneously while I was using it, and was greeted by a couple Tux logos and a verbose Linux 2.4 boot pro

It was a joke. Or at least a slight exaggeration. I have a 26 mile daily drive, all high-traffic interstate freeways, and I can usually count at least two occurrences per day where I have to take evasive action to avoid a collision – people
