It certainly couldn't hurt... but I believe it would still be hard to find certain things. An example of that is taxes, accounting, or just general budgeting. Depends where the incentives are as to how easily findable anything will eve

I'm not sure a device they couldn't unlock really solves the problem. Lets say they did have such a device. Couldn't the government just force them into building a back door even if they themselves can't unlock it? This

Stuff like this makes one think its only a matter of time before the borders point inward.

You only need the warrant if you want to use the information you obtained in court. If you just want to figure out how to nail somebody... which is often the hardest part... you just quietly listen in and figure out what things you should b

Thats not true at all. The people in charge understand that general privacy impedes their ability to dictate.

They wouldn't ever do anything that forward facing to the public. What they do is pass laws to put pressure on makers of apps like whatsapp to build them their own personal back door.

Are there any documented cases where people were near airports causing such problems with things like OpenWRT, DD-WRT, etc? Something tells me that cases demonstrating the need for such a ruling are hard to come by.

I guess it depends how you measure getting better. If you're just looking at Mhz then maybe I can understand. For me, 10 years ago I had to use a desktop to achieve much of anything. These days I have the power of my desktop except it

Its not that our politicians have forgotten. Its that applying certain laws would conflict with getting filthy lucre. http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/top.php?indexType=s&showYea...

True, but doesn't it seem simpler to just move operations to places your workers can afford?

It wouldn't matter since land is a commodity vs something like uber which is a service. No matter how cheap you make the structures, the land prices will skyrocket to anything a bank will give a loan for under demand. The only solution

Its also the same argument regarding the war on drugs. It never works but thats not really the point. The point is to create options to apply pressure whenever government decides it wants to.

Yeah, I don't think people notice advertorials or understand motives for things like this. Its just to get the news out that amazon is open for business in the upcoming election cycle.

I'm still amazed that csv is still so poorly implemented in excel. Especially since its such an easy fix to honor byte order marks and default delimiters. I have to assume "sorta works" is the strategy. We all know how well t

"(By inevitable, I mean that it's going to happen. Images are the new packages.)" Without packages docker itself becomes mostly useless to the vast majority of people. Packages will always come first no matter how badly peopl

Apologize, wasn't really directed at you. I'm sure you've seen all the other comments related to this type of news. Sounds like we both agree that MongoDB is repeating the same mistakes others had made 15 years ago. The only

Why is everybody immediately making these types of diversion responses regarding relational datastores to mongodb breaches? Mongo has popularity and 2 fixable issues that make the exposure numbers outweigh those of every other datastore rig

Curious, why the scripts to install a simple series of binaries? If you packaged it natively then all the stuff you're doing with both GPG and install.sh simplifies dramatically from 2k lines of bash. With added benefit of pushing out

Its sad to see the world of text/instant messaging devolving back to the 90s. It felt like the future was so bright not that long ago. I've basically stopped using instant messages all together and switched to an even more proprie

I don't think anybody is suggesting containers are bad for ephemeral exploration, development, the things you mention. The argument is what you use it for when it comes to production. For example if you're modeling machines with d

Thats pretty cool, I've been thinking about making something like that myself. Just haven't decided if it was worth building it or if I should be lazy and buy a Chamberlain's MyQ. http://www.chamberlain.com/sm
