Comment Re: Humans won't go extinct from climate change (Score 1) 115

The day after tomorrow wasn't a documentary.

I haven't even seen it. I don't watch most movies.

Besides, think about what you're saying for at least ten minutes

Wow, you really think you know something, don't you? Hilarious.

You're saying the cold season, which already isn't suitable for growing in higher latitudes anyways, is going to get colder, therefore unsuitable for growing.

Well, at least we know your reading comprehension is shit.

What I said is that the higher latitudes will have colder temperatures than lower ones when they are at their coldest.

This is a fact.

When you learn to understand English, come back for a debate. The best you can do now is be berated.

I like my Versa but I wouldn't tow even a thousand pounds with it without brakes. It's really excellent to drive under most conditions but if you really push it hard then its vector starts to become slightly indeterminate. Mine is in fairly good shape, it's been gone over in some detail and the only thing very wrong besides the nonworking AC is that the front subframe bushes are starting to develop some slop, but they ought to have years in them even around here where it's lumpy and bumpy.

I think Nissan USA probably made the right call for this country. I've done some towing here and there, and I've driven the Versa a lot, and I don't want to imagine having a trailer back there and having things get hinky.

I don't see it. For example, cell phone records are only recorded and accessible via warrant, and by presenting that warrant to a provider directly. Same could be done with E2EE data if forced through the cell phone provider's networks.

That would mean an end to E2EE APIs on cell phones and other devices, which may be practically impossible at this point.

Edward Snowden showed that this is not as true as you seem to think it is.

Oh dear lord, the hyperbole. We allow law enforcement access to all other forms of communication with a lawful warrant. So should this particular technology be exempt from that?

Then, let them serve the warrant.

What is different is that for the first time in human history, it's not only possible but it's practical to have encrypted communications that no one can access except for the intended recipient.

All of "the most heinous of crimes" take place in the real world, there is some physical action that can be detected and punished. I don't care if this makes the job of law enforcement harder. I want law enforcement to be a difficult and time consuming job. Idle and bored cops tend to find ways to fill their time and it's never good.
