Comment Re: Hopefully he sues for a few million. (Score 1) 203

so you are saying this guy did it, despite there being no evidence that he did? why do you do this?

I'm saying that the professionals who assessed the evidence did so. That is a fact. There was enough evidence presented to convict and the only reason he's not still in jail is that the evidence was linked to the wrong person.

Why do I do this? Because a complete process was followed that assesses said evidence. You on the other hand are just guessing based on little more than a few lines from a news article that never put the evidence in question.

Why do you do that?

Across the board. I do agree there are people who should be separated from society for their whole lives, but fun fact: School shooters are not one of them. You may not agree with this because I'm assuming you're American and the word prison for you means "retribution" rather than rehabilitation. But a functioning mental health system actually does allow people who have committed a crime to reintegrate into society. It's what countries with actually reasonable incarceration rates, and far lower rates of recivedism than the USA do.

You picked a very low hanging fruit there. School shooters are almost universally troubled young and still malleable minds and more easily rehabilitated than many other class of criminal. On top of that, the real question is, why focus on school shooters at all instead of the system that has so utterly failed to the point where they exist. Ask yourself why they are almost uniquely American.

Refusing to grant victims of heinous crimes the peace of knowing they are forever beyond the reach of the perpetrator is also morally bankrupt.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Life prison terms are a thing. But I get it, you're American. Prison there is retribution, not rehabilitation. It's just another way to show you're just as sick and twisted as those people doing the crime.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole rest of the world looking at you and mocking your stupidity.

This isn't the 1900s you're not escaping a super max prison. No matter how many stupid movies you watch.

Almost certainly true. At the cost of double the individual median income, per annum, which is about the same as housing someone on death row. To lock someone in a box for 23 hours a day, which is almost certainly "cruel and unusual punishment" in and of itself.

Definitely NOT the solution.

Has Telemundo content, so you got every World Cup match if you were willing to watch in Spanish rather than having to spend $20/month for Fox to watch them otherwise. You also get a decent amount of global soccer games, most notably EPL. Peacock can almost always be found with a bargain basement price so it's actually a good deal if you like soccer. The Law & Order reruns are just gravy.

Comment Welcome to Canada! (Score 1) 203

This kind of error is why you can't rely on the government or law-enforcement being competence enough to handle anything. I understand this happened before all the insane digital violation bills in Canada started popping up, but, this kind of mistake demonstrates why the government and law-enforcement can't be trusted to handle our data. They can't be trusted to even look at the right data, let alone understand it, follow up, or determine what is and is not relevant.

This is not a reasonable or understandable error to make, this is a literacy error, which means someone, or some group, can't read, write, or comprehend. How many legal experts were involved, without anyone asking to verify the username? Why did no legal expert ask why there was no evidence on any of the devices? That alone should have prompted the username verification, which would have completely resolved part of the issue before it started.

As for KiK being able to hand over the data, that's another problem. That problem demonstrates why we need strong client-side encryption, to prevent the grotesquely illiterate from being able to get involved. The government and law-enforce can't make a defence, they've demonstrated a total lack of common sense, literacy, or even responsibility, going beyond this single case. Trudeau used emergency powers, illegally, to arrest innocent and peaceful protestors, while filing terrorist charges, after he refused accountability. Carney and his group of pedo's, are passing laws for digital ID, Age attestation, Identity attestation, secret collection orders, and other nonsense, so they can build up the CP spank bank.

Regardless if he did anything legally wrong, there is a better way to handle this situation. Before you travel, backup your phone to a hidden encrypted volume, then wipe the phone. Set a dummy passcode that you can give out at the border, and be assured you're safe. That being said, he wasn't presented with a warrant to force handing over or retaining evidence, so what is he guilty of?

All he has to argue is that he was never presented with a warrant, and therefore the requirement to retain evidence didn't exist, and so he can't be held liable. Regardless what the government wants to argue, there is a legal avenue they could have used to force the retention of evidence, they didn't use it, so they forfeited any legal protection.

Lithium batteries were old when they started making those, and now they are the leading supplier. Better tech and chemistry, better manufacturing.

Only if your counter example of lithium batteries is the same as a DUV machine. I would argue they are not remotely the same and this is a logical fallacy of an apples to oranges comparison. But you still not answered the basic facts of these machines: Assuming these machines are not just blatant copies of other machines, what are their production rates, yields, cost. Also what is their manufacturing rate of the machines? Again that's assuming these machines are not just copies. You don't know. No one knows. It is extremely early to claim this as an "advancement".
