Hopefully we'll find out more during the trial what triggered the search. I don't like speculating.

That's fine if you plan for it and can clearly delineate which logs can be dropped and which can't. The challenge is that most applications log to a single stream that consists of both high and low-priority logs muxed together and

On the other hand, traditional syslog is UDP based, so as soon as the receiver experiences CPU or I/O starvation and its receive buffer overflows, it will begin dropping messages. That's not great for observability, and may well b

I think they might be saying that there's still no supported way to build a native-code app on the Android OS. It could be construed as a plea to make that happen in order to unlock greater performance, not necessarily a desire to have

I'm not sure that it matters. You can't put a Qualcomm chip in an iPhone and you can't put Apple Silicon in any other device. So there's no really straightforward way to compare them other than specs on paper, which we a

I'm curious as to the performance per watt. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

If you’re doing “five* whys” analyses correctly, you don’t stop at the technical causes. You continue further to analyze the causes that precipitated the technical errors, too. This exposes the business reasons behind them and forces manage

Updating my initial statement: to search someone’s phone at the border, the government needs reasonable suspicion that the person has committed or is planning to commit a crime.

It’s a subject of debate. CBP stated it was possession of CSAM. Defendant claims it’s a pretext and that CBP was really investigating his ties with the Defend the Atlanta Forest movement. But it doesn’t really matter in this case. You canno

I think you're overthinking this. :-) My point is very simple: operating costs are relative. But you didn't ask the relative question, you asked the absolute question ("what suggests GitHub has a huge operating cost?").

Thanks for the case references! These came after my legal training and so I hadn’t studied those. They narrow the border search doctrine somewhat. Good to know.

Reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. Though at the border, not even that is required.
165.
by otterley 2mo ago
That sounds like reasonable suspicion then, which is a lawful predicate for a border search. Even random border searches are permitted according to our jurisprudence.

Not so. We don’t have the capital investment or labor pool needed to replace China as a source of many goods, especially high tech goods, and it would take a very, very long time to catch up at this point, if we ever could. https:/&#x

How so?
168.
by otterley 2mo ago
Yes. That’s why I added the predicate “crimes they didn’t ask you to commit.”

by otterley 2mo ago
In the case of a border search it’s when the encounter begins; no reasonable suspicion is needed.

You didn’t tamper with the potential evidence; they did.

> It can’t be destroying evidence if there’s no case or charge being pressed for which that material would be evidence. (IAAL, not legal advice, consult your own lawyer) Where’d you get that idea? That’s not the law. As soon as there is

by otterley 2mo ago
(IAAL, this is not legal advice, consult your own attorney) If you destroy evidence, that’s your own fault. You can’t blame law enforcement for inducing you to commit crimes they didn’t ask you to commit. That’s just silly and no court will

IAAL, this is not legal advice though. Routine border searches are largely permitted under the 4th Amendment. This is settled law.

Let’s not devise ways for people to break the law while evading detection, shall we?

I am a lawyer (this is not legal advice) and agree with the main thrust of this comment. The law is not “hackable.” Ultimately people are making decisions about guilt and punishment. And judges really, really don’t take kindly to defendants

It isn’t, but at the same time, smart hackers were working with highly constrained PC hardware in the 1980s and early 1990s and were cranking surprisingly good performance out of it. Folklore.org has plenty of stories about it, and John Ca

You’re confusing trade deficits with budget deficits. These are not the same thing. Bond sales pay for budget deficits. They have no bearing (heh) whatsoever on trade deficits. You can end a budget deficit by simply not spending as much fro

Mods: To reduce ambiguity, can we change "WPD" to "Winona, Minnesota PD"?

by otterley 2mo ago
Yes, I think that would be a better way to frame the question. :-)
