Also, waterboarding was done on 3 prisoners, though the media would have you believe every single prisoner in gitmo had it done to them.
The torture was more than just waterboarding, and was done to more people than just gitmo's.
Result after unions:
... ... where the petty minded rulers feel like you slighted them means you will never work as a coder again because other union shops are told not to work with you
What's this have to do with unions? Do non-union industries have some mystical property that makes hiring-managers inherently non-petty?
OTOH, if the system is hackable then you could easily lose all your data to some guy on another continent.
I resent that- they're perfectly capable of losing our data to some guy on this continent, too.
"I like and believe very much that we should have to obtain a warrant from an independent judge to be able to take the contents," FBI Director James Comey told reporters.
Had "obtain a warrant" been their approach leading up to now, maybe encryption-everywhere wouldn't be gaining traction.
That and credit card companies are too fucking cheap to switch to chip and pin. The only reason the rest of world switched was because the companies were forced to. Not in the good old USA.
I think that's changing, maybe the mess is finally more expensive than a preemptive fix.
My bank cancelled+replaced my credit card last week (without warning: they said it was because the # was recently reported stolen, I'm guessing it was the local supermarket chain but they won't say), and the replacement has chip and pin. I didn't ask for it, they didn't ask me, they just did it. Of course, it's a no-brainer for them if the cost of a safer card is footed by a compromised retailer.
I think he might have had a few more people on his side if he would have said this from day one.
Maybe he anticipated how they would try to play the game?
Snowden: I have docs showing
NSA: no you don't
Snowden: here they are
NSA: ok, but you should've worked within the system
Snowden: I told 10 people in the system
<--- where we are today
NSA: no you didn't
Snowden: here's who I told and when
NSA: ok, but <another attempt to change the focus to Snowden...>
The fact is that the vote of a person living in Wisconsin counts for 3.8 times as many Electoral Votes as my vote as a Californian.
I don't have to point out that the "people/electoral vote" ratio from WI to CA is only about 1.1 (others beat me to that), but even that's misleading: the all-or-nothing nature of (almost) every state's EC voting gives large states a extra-large influence on the election outcome. In a race that's tight in the state, a change of only 1% of votes can cause lots of EC votes to swing from one side to the other. Read recent history for OH and FL to see that play out.
What I don't get is why this data is so useful to advertisers. I've almost never bought anything based solely on an ad.
Everybody says that, and yet companies spend untold $billions on marketing and marketing-effectiveness research. Which means either (A) this pervasive marketing is a huge waste-o-cash, or (B) we ("consumers" as a whole) are mostly unaware of the heavy influence that marketing has on us.
Knowing how much those companies would love to keep the dollars headed toward executives instead of blowing it on expenses, my money's on (B).
Libertarians believe in necessary regulation.
Everyone believes in "necessary" regulation. The question is what do you, I, etc, consider necessary?
