It is relevant because the excuse made for disabling bootloader unlocking is that unlocking the bootloader can defeat a carrier lock. They are interrelated.

This is clearly correct and it exposes a sort of wink/nudge game that judges and lawyers commonly play. Courts will say "we are constrained by the law," and every practitioner knows that they mean, "among the many laws t

You have this wrong. A "habeas court" is a court considering whether a person is being detained illegally. This is a mechanism for obtaining a collateral review of evidence in a criminal case (commonly used in death cases), since

I sort of agree with this, but it assumes that the pitch deck impacts a critical outcome for these businesses. For example, sometimes in my line of work a prosecutor reads a mitigation report (pitch deck) and offers a good plea bargain beca

Ironically that city's four cardinal directions of "Uptown," "Downtown," "Lakeside," and "Riverside" are completely unambiguous.

That doesn't work in this situation. What percentage of windows users "bought the product"? Someone else bought it and put it on the computer without any user input. It's like buying a house and finding out that it has a

Think of it more like gambling for credibility. Theft is still wrong during Ramadan, but if I know that everyone convicted of petty theft will be pardoned in a month, do I impose the standard sentence? If I do, it's spiteful judge vs.

I always wondered about the original study whether they controlled for the fact that courts control their case calendars. I can't count the number of times I've had a client's case shuffled to the back of the line because the

They are not mutually exclusive either. It could have been all three. Let me also add that morale is an issue. The police have been taught to value their work in a certain kind of way (chase the bad guy, lock him up, get rewarded), but the

Wow, this is really interesting. Per interaction is doing a lot of work here. Perfectly compliant seems pretty flexible as well.

I built this. Try it by calling 911. Monero address in my profile.

People have trouble disentangling the problematic behavior of the police and the consequences of prosecutorial discretion. The OP's argument is likely that the police didn't arrest an attacker because they knew that the DA wouldn&

Think of it like a book where the publisher releases a preview chapter. There are hints in the court record which, despite sealing of an indictment, would give a determined investigator enough information to speculate on the charges in the

> Labeling a comment “Toxic” is a good way to shut down interesting discussion. That's certainly your opinion. My opinion is that this thread of analysis (a) is not interesting; (b) tends to propagate harm. I think the discussion is

In addition to being toxic and irrelevant to the parent comments (who mentioned kids?), This argument is a red herring. Of course if everyone dies, we mitigate anthropogenic climate change, but that doesn't really further our analysis

I don't understand. The article says the SARS protests started in 2020 and the election was in 2023. This seems correct.

I got called up to handle a case in court and had to delete my draft comment. I'm glad I did. I think that this type of first-person experience is often lacking in these discussions. The true issue is that legacy technology like teleph

This is interesting, but in terms of longevity, how does it compare to carving letters one centimeter high in stone? Let's say for example, we tried doing that underground on Pluto.

This comment is true on the facts, but militates for what I consider to be a poor conclusion. I know a lot of people who talk this way, and it's usually those who are best positioned to defend themselves from surveillance. This is anno

You seem to be implying that Apple does not collect a large amount of user data at the OS level, but of course they do collect those data.

There is actually a whole professional person whose job is to complain about this. When a kid dials 911 and the cops come and arrest people for no good reason, somebody is almost guaranteed to complain about it. It's me. I wake up in t

If 4% is correct, that means ebay had 12,500 employees. 1) Why? What did they all do? 2) How on earth are they only laying off 500?

The city is in a budget season right now and people are being arrested for things that normally would not be cognizable as crime. I agree that we should be willing to pay some nontrivial price to have more eyes on policing, but this camera

Yeah, usually the bodyworn camera falls off the shirt at a critical time. Maybe a lot of drugs and guns will start to be discovered inside and under police cars. In seriousness, having more surveillance on police action is probably good, bu
