Almost like he's a campaign donor! Did he fly on AF1 to China with the rest of them?

Government very rarely runs on merit. It's a terrible way to conduct anything that doesn't require killing people.

Sure, but border guards and spooks probably already had this exploit so the difference is minor. Their PoC page also says there's no access to Secure Enclave so perhaps the damage is minimal?

Curiously I saw some commits for an iPhone platform in LineageOS a month or two ago. Perhaps an option for EoL Apple hardware with working exploits.

As opposed to building new national "monuments" to vanity and in bad taste of which anyone's mother would be ashamed?

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

He's the same kind of con man as Trump.

He railed against the Banks so when Ron Paul's Audit The Fed bill came to the Senate he cosponsored it.

Then behind closed doors he killed it to protect the Banks. Same way he endorsed Hillary with zero concessions after she maligned him and stole the primary.

It's all Kayfabe and he's a multi-millionaire communist for his efforts.

This proposal is just the latest Theatre Kid stunt to get him some attention. The only kind of attention he deserves is derision.

You don't even want to know about the rumored blackmail event. ("Crying Bernie Sanders" is the most vile rabbit hole.)

> Just build some fucking windmills and stick them to batteries and you'll be fine

Please compare the human death rate of wind and solar to atomic energy.

Yes, workers lives matter.

Might as well do coal too.

Also, we have a moral obligation to transmute the 300,000-year waste that the postwar generation left us with (besides their mountain of debt and impossible Empire).

Demand that Eric Schmidt be the first one to go to Mars. Strap his ass into a rocket and light it. For bonus points, put Elmo in there with him. And for even extra bonus points, stick Zuck in there too.

Statism creates billionaires.

And in a few months they will breathlessly announce another effort by the alleged administration to go after the same sensors. They won't give a flying rat's ass about the Senate bill even were it to become law. Now it is just bad press the alleged administration will wait out before they try anew.

Never trust this alleged administration. They have Erdogan (of Turkey's) idea of democracy: it is a bus and when it reaches the end, they'll get off.

The only reason the wealth tax exists as a political concept is because the billionaire class has done such a good job of not paying any taxes. Fix that problem and there won't be any need for a wealth tax.

And yes we do need new taxes in sense of reforming the tax laws so there are no exemptions no matter how wealthy you are. Once we do that, then we should look to see whether new taxes are warranted. My guess is they are because the economy has changed so much since the original tax laws (of whatever era) were written.

Someone needs to maintain the pipes! It's just a series of them.

That's basically what every teenager and every disfunctional relationship does.

"You never pay attention to me!"
"Well, if you paid attention to me, you would know how much I am dealing with!"

It doesn't matter if it's factual it just matters if you get the tone right.

If the company doesn't have a QA team, if the company doesn't have negative unit tests, if the company hasn't trained their employees in secure coding practices, if the company doesn't have a system to avoid SQL injection exploits, etc

Then the company is at fault.

The company that wrote the bug in the first place is the enabler of the crime. In 99% of these cases, if you look at their unit tests you'll only see positive tests. Fail at best practices.

Announcing the exploit publicly allows people who use the software to take proper protections (like putting behind a firewall).

Property tax in California is difficult because of Prop 13. No one wants to raise it.
