Of course you are. It would be highly illegal (and pretty dumb) to loan someone money without collecting that data.

But are you collecting their geolocation data, browsing history, and all the other tidbits that corporations collect in the pursuit of targeting ads, and then selling that data to anyone willing to pay for it without the consumer's knowledge, let alone their consent?

If not, then you're just doing your job.

If so, then sorry, but you're part of the problem.

The problem is not that law enforcement has access to this data. The problem is that corporations are allowed to collect it in the first place.

Of course, this is by design.

The government can't collect this kind of data without violating the Constitution. However, nothing in the Constitution or any other federal law prohibits corporations from collecting whatever they want.

Since the government (and by extension, law enforcement) can get pretty much any data they want with a subpoena (or a National Security Letter, if they don't feel like getting one of those pesky warrants), they turn a blind eye and let the corporations collect whatever they want, our rights be damned.

"over the next few years, every developer will have their code generated, leaving them more time to focus on their core business."

Umm... you mean like writing code?

Software written by people who don't actually know how to program.

What could *possibly* go wrong...?

A bitcoin is nothing more than a file generated by an algorithm. It has no more intrinsic value than a Word document.

BASIC on an HP-3000 mainframe in 1980. We had a DECWriter terminal (basically a dot-matrix printer with a keyboard attached) that connected from our junior high school to a local university's mainframe via modem. You took a regular phone, lifted the handset, dialed the number, the modem on the other end would pick up, and you'd put the handset into this cradle that was attached to the DECWriter. Then you'd get a login prompt. Awesome. }:-)

"The supposed "backdoor" the Guardian is describing is actually a feature working as intended, and it would require significant collaboration with Facebook to be able to snoop on and intercept someone's encrypted messages, something the company is extremely unlikely to do."

A backdoor that requires Facebook's help to snoop is still a backdoor, is it not?

Replaces all instances of Trump with Drumpf (go to youtube and search for John Oliver Drumpf if you don't get it.)

LOL... the 5 was million, not billion. Misread on my part... }:-)

His model suggests that the ones that collided to make these gravitational waves were stars that formed 12 billion years ago, became black holes 5 million years later, and then merged 10.3 billion years after that.

Did he do his experiment 3.3 billion years in the future?

Of course, it could just be a typo...

I was running Android studio 1.5 on an i3 with 4GB of RAM. Emulator load time was about 3 minutes, gradle builds were 1-3 minutes, time between gradle build finish and app launch was about a minute.

After upgrading to 2.0, emulator load time is now 11 minutes, gradle builds are nearly five minutes and it takes nearly 3 minutes between gradle build finish and app launch.

It's only obstruction of justice if you do it to a phone that the FBI already has in its possession. Phones which have not been seized as evidence are fair game.

More than half of 1000 people are wrong. The header is misleading as hell.
