Remember, we have made a strong stance against asset forfeiture going forward. The assets however, have not - and are thus still considered guilty.

To anyone who has a shred of fear of flying, the game of "screwing with the pilots for laughs" is not fucking funny.

Except that this has ZERO to do with what's going on. The fact that they broke the law to basically steal his laptop, this has nothing to do with screwing with the pilots.

Pearson does a lot of things; I'd find them fairly neutral in the process - what they do will work with basically anything.

That's not to say what they do is good? I find Pearson to be shit when it comes to education tools - they are filled with bloatware, drm, and things that don't provide any benefit to thing using them, but I wouldn't really blame them for anything here.

I would blame the superintendent and apple for sticking their nose into more sales under the guise of supporting education.

I doubt it would happen for a variety of reasons, but I'd love to see Google find a way to work with Tesla on this.

While they didn't willingly/intentionally give their information to the NSA, the fact that they were compromised by the NSA means that they should still be considered compromised going forward, so you are correct.

TLDR: don't do business with the NSA. This also means we really, really, really need to get rid of FIPS as well.

GMO foods kill? More like your DNA is modified by what you eat, so eating foods with modified DNA may have undesirable effects (see: obesity, diabetes).

I don't think I've heard anyone actually state that GMO foods kill them directly, though?

Without any example, you are basically lying with your post. It's just as easy to obfuscate information by providing no example and asking people to prove a negative.

Except that it's a known key with a known loophole?

You may as well try to tell me WPA-2 encryption is meaningful. It's not.

Maybe because they're trying?

You can't just magic your way into a SCOTUS review.

No, it doesn't sound like a good strategy.

It sounds like "Spray and pray". In fact, people who don't use google do not exactly jump to searching on Bing, mostly because bing is terrible at being a search engine. Are there alternatives? Yes. Is this a way to bring light to them? Not even remotely.

Yahoo is bing, so using yahoo is using bing and is just as much garbage as bing.

The fact that the FAA is attempting to define commercial activity with a drone is exactly the problem.

Maybe the part about "I deleted all the unimportant emails. Trust me" part?

I can't wait to hear what happens when forensics gets to their machines and hopefully finds tons and tons of illegal activity.

No person should ever be allowed to do this, especially someone who doesn't understand the impact of doing this from a technology perspective and only from a political one.

You're misunderstanding. If you create a form of encryption to which you do not hold the keys, all of the compelling in the world isn't going to do anything. Which is what most modern OS's including ios do.

"Apple doesn't mine it"

Yeah, ok. Show me where/how you can guarantee that any more than anyone else who already has your data? Apple in this case *already has your data* without HealthKit. Apple is identical to google and facebook and every tech company that collects user data in this regards.

Sirius isn't free, you pretty much have to buy the hardware too.

Also, 90% of their stations are outright garbage and far less personalized than Pandora.

At the same time, Pandora is ridiculous because it's treated more like a radio stream and less acknowledging basic functionality like "I want to play a song again" or "I want to restart the same song". Spotify is equally garbage in this regards as you are limited on the number of streams and the selection is limited. Google music is the next closest thing at $8/mo, but in reality it's no better as well.

Until you have a streaming service that doesn't have to resort to covers to play certain songs just because the big bad publishers think their music is so magically valuable (it isn't), we're going to be stuck with garbage solutions like this.

What isn't mentioned about every music streaming solution? None of them pay the artist *anything*, because this assumes artists actually get their tenth of a cent per stream. It's unlikely, because that's probably split 20/80 with their publisher, assuming they even get the money and that a publisher isn't somehow taking all the money from the artist who doesn't even work for them.
