so you might have missed this gem being as you're not in the country echi


but in the 2012 primary debates for the republicans, ron paul said on stage in South Carolina "hey maybe we should try treating other countries like we would want to be treated"

he was literally booed by the crowd. they shouted him down for this.

more recently trump was booed for stating the far less controversial, and utterly indisputable 100% true fact that GWB ignored intelligence warning about 9/11 and then lied the country into a war with Iraq

i cant help but think, that what this means is that soon the police will have a tool on their tool belt that hooks into an iphone.. maybe through that lighting connector? and it automatically opens up your phone, and searches for words like "weed" and "child porn" and you get arrested on the spot. does it even need to be your phone? I suspect that a way to plant evidence will be designed into the tool. the police and FBI are evil and are just tools of the puppeteers of the ruling elite. clearly some of you guys haven't recently groked the zeitgiest and have forgotten what it is all about. power in the hands of the illuminiti

i know i'm in the vast minority of people in tech but i don't give a poo poo about any of this. i don't understand how people like those at the eff freak out about this stuff so passionately and i wish i could, but i don't. like people are starving to death but let's talk about cell phones because we need to protect people's nude photos or something. yes, i know you can focus on more than one thing at once but this is at the bottom of the totem pole for me. :shrug:

i find it funny that the EFF had probably had to call off another campaign against iOS signed code requirements when this first hit the news

its certainly a predicament because generally I reserve judgement on whether or not I like a person until I get to know them, but they dont even get the chance to find out that he might be a nice guy with a bright future. its just death death shoot shoot shoot

How are the significant intersection of people who hate Citizens United because it affirms corporations are on equal footing with people and the people who want Apple to win going to reconcile their thinking if Apple wins on some combination of 1st, 5th, and or 14th amendment grounds?

i don't like citizens united because of the outcome where corporations can give huge amounts of money to political campaigns, but i recognize that its the logical outcome of the law. there are also other ways to fix citizens united by limiting campaign spending and donations in general but lol that will never happen.

pretty much.

if real live persons can avoid legal problems by creating some bullshit entity that will get the legal problems, that's not a good thing.

The corporate system deflecting personal liability in some cases is great for small business owners. It lets people hide from stuff like environmental damage or safety violations in larger companies though, which is bad.

would be cool if this one good thing came of it tho. apple should create its own radios/baseband and build an un-ownable iphone. fbi cia nsa usa can all gently caress off. stop bombing the middle east.

if a small business owner skips out on safety poo poo and fucks up, he should be personally responsible. theres no other way about it.

Why would anybody lose their house? If it was in Denmark that somebody fell over in a store, the store's insurance would cover it. Store owner wouldn't even feel it, drunk idiots fall over literally 6 times a day. Idk where the lawsuit comes in, they're rarely necessary.
