The NSA isn't the only boogieman here, so don't call only them out. There's a lot of value to cracking Tor open, and it would be wise to quickly identify and resolve the weaknesses.

By "Piercing the Firewall", I didn't mean to imply that NAT should be considered a firewall, but rather to allude to a class of techniques to get around network restrictions such as port, content, or IP based filtering for both malicious and benign purposes.

You seem to think people are rational, or can be forced into rational thinking. This is not the case. For example, even now in times of drought and mandatory water conservation, we have HOAs attempting to enforce lawn watering rules.

To fight against this specific issue here in San Diego, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzales has been pushing for CA AB2104 which would prevent the HOA from imposing rules upon homeowners observing water regulations. It's a sad state of affairs, but NIMBYism isn't rational.

From the last time we had this discussion: http://i.imgur.com/sjH5r.jpg

No, it wouldn't. Furthermore, we've been deactivated San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) because the penny-wise dickheads at the top cut corners and ended up making some really bad engineering decisions that led to radiation leakage.

With NIMBYism and the well-known desire of businessmen to make money over safety, I don't imagine we'll be seeing nuclear come into vogue again anytime soon.

We're getting one in Carlsbad, CA, in the north of San Diego County. The upside is that it provides a nice local source of fresh water. The downside is that it costs twice as much per gallon and has a minimum purchase contract, regardless of usage and need.

California may be experiencing a drought now, but other years this becomes an unnecessary cost that may affect people of differing incomes unequally.

That, too, is rather misleading. NAT only provides a sense of security, as the devices may not be addressed directly. However if you assume that because your devices are behind a NAT, that they're secure from external attack, you can be easily surprised when one device acts as a portal to the rest. Piercing the Firewall is not a new concept.

Oh noes! I'll have to fly my RC aircraft within view!

It also screams "I'm a liability. If you don't do what I want I will hurt you, even if you've done nothing wrong." This applies to this situation but also in future situations.

That line is quite concerning. It literally means that perceived emotional harm isn't just the fault of the perpetrator but a liability on the employer. It's impossible to control other's actions and more importantly how those around them perceive them, so the only meaningful defense is to eliminate potential victims.

All "drivers" aren't equal, some drive considerably more than others. What is the accident rate per age group with respect to 100,000 miles driven?

There are laws mandating minimum speeds and prohibiting certain types of equipment from using roads during certain hours because they do pose a threat to drivers. A stationary obstacle such as a tire, tree, mattress or other common road detritus is recognized to all as a threat to safety on the road, a slow driver merely puts the same threat in motion.

Intel Inside!

Now I really can drive by the seat of my pants!

She is trained appropriately and used to be one, however I'm unaware of any magnificent coding works of hers which would put her on this list. GP's assertions are business management related and if TFA was about best managers, perhaps she'd be on that list.
