Ah, so I’m guessing 40+ and with a very select group of friends with a long term history. While I agree, that isn’t something 99.9% of the population is going to do successfully.

Why do you think that specific sub case that applies to all law enforcement folks, applies to my statement?

Do you call via landline? I don’t know anyone who even still has one.

So what - printed maps? No ‘where are you?’ texts or the like? No looking up nearby anything you’re curious about but didn’t know about before hand? Certainly possible, I guess, if everyone in your circle does the same, and has a ton of p

I’m guessing you have a bunch of other people with their own cell phones doing things? That’s the reason most other people are (fundamentally) going to struggle.

Well yeah. If they had solid evidence at the start, why would they need an investigation?

Just don’t randomly mix and match the approaches or you are in for a bad time.

by lazide 9mo ago
Ok, but clearly they don’t care?

Not who you are responding too, but I tried to look up the legal justifications behind ICE and it’s a mess. Good luck untangling it!

Considering the array of behaviors exhibited by the president recently, it wouldn’t be entirely unlikely to nominate Alex Jones, eh?

First question - CBP, as noted. Unlimited jurisdictional limits - and the courts will enforce this with whose army? As it were. ICE isn’t allowed to act on citizens either, and yet here we are.
912.
by lazide 9mo ago
I don’t disagree. What will (and is) actually happening is every government everywhere is rushing to get these systems setup ASAP.

The US has been using ICE a lot. Guess who is doing the identifying - CBP and ICE. Guess who runs borders and immigration, which is the use case for PreCheck and Global Entry? Guess what the stated jurisdictional limits are for CBP? 100 mil

The stated purpose for biometrics and photos with PreCheck and Global Entry is to identify you, so it’s not likely against its stated purpose to use it for identification, per-se. Now using it to target protesters? Meh.

I think this is the real winner here. Power corrupts because power means you can be corrupt.

That isn’t why nepotism exists. Nepotism is because ‘what is the point of doing all this’ - aka passing things on to family. It also enables a degree of aligned interests between what could otherwise be hard to align parties (trust, like yo

Yes, it is quite a statistical outlier for an entire family to be using it daily. something weird is going on there, for sure.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Which knowing the side effects of Ambien is pretty bonkers.

The same systems had labor board whistleblower info. Why would musk love to identify (or at a minimum, but a huge chilling effect on) labor board whistleblowers? The world may never know.
921.
by lazide 9mo ago
An extremely common problem in the wider world too.

by lazide 9mo ago
Huh? Why should people who pay for the hardware not be able to run whatever they want? Why include them as ‘attackers’?

Just like many people are optimists in thinking criminals will get consequences, criminals are often optimists in thinking they won’t get consequences. Both have cherry-picked their life experiences to support this view.

Eventually, people will grow tired of it and the pendulum will swing the other way. It’s why the first move of the administration was to replace senior FBI and military leaders with cronies. To hold the pendulum back. They absolutely know t

Nobody is clean (and survives). I don’t think they were defending anyone per-se. China and the cultural revolution was similar, and Chinese courts are similarly ‘what the party wants’. We’ll see what US courts end up looking like at the end

Secrecy enables several things, including: - abuse - incompetence - getting away with breaking rules and laws Sometimes, those are desirable or necessary for national security/pragmatic reasons. For instance, good luck running an effec

It does mean we should recognize that SSL is nice for some basic privacy/security, but not perfect security.

How is it just his testimony if they can literally locate the device to the location? That’s just ‘oh, my poor back’.

In both cases, the real issue is when the oil (eventually all do) oxidizes and ‘gums’. Tight tolerances make it cause worse problems sooner of course, but it’s the same problem eventually. Putting new fresh oil in it often temporarily fixes

I wonder how many different chemicals can be described as ‘c9-c11’ chains. Thousands?
