Likely leaked by both the committee heads. This gives them a reason to contact potential donors for campaign contributions ("I'm doing something. Support me!"). Don't you know how this works yet?
Techdirt is an interesting site for me, but it's comically anti-cop and shockingly ill-informed about law enforcement in general. So, I do what I can to tell you people you suck at this, just to balance it out.
I split that list into these two; public interests vs. gov't/law enforcement/NatSec. Of course, crypto's in both.
Carrot:
Cryptography
Global commerce and economics
Consumer-facing technology sector
Enterprise technology sector
Privacy and civil liberties community
Stick:
Cryptography
Federal law enforcement
State and local law enforcement
Intelligence community
And, they're off!
The point is via artistry, one can be the other interchangeably. So, where to go then?
First, understand art. Perhaps then you won't be shocked and then do silly things in reaction.
or how 'bout: how come they call them elevators when half the time they're going down?
Or did people get stupid, and allow personal id information on a phone.
You order me to write malicious code, and I'll decline to participate. I want to talk to a lawyer. I don't care how much you're offering.
But you see in china the Emperor wears a different set of cloths and the serfs there do not have the same freedoms as Americans ...
I think the question is can the government force them to do something, even with 'reasonable' compensation, against their will?
... government has fully shifted into self-preservation mode.
Hope you don't like Marvel Comics characters, Star Wars, or any of the other numerous franchises they've bought up.
The fact that the defendant is the one that wants the camera footage and the cops want to hide it strongly suggests who's at fault here.
So are you people (US citizens) expected to show up for the weekly indoctrination meeting the party puts on yet, or is that still coming up? Just trying to keep the timetable straight.
Yet some loser with a bomb is supposed to have the public quaking in it's collective shoes ...
The phone's owner is dead. I'm not so sure he gave them permission - where did you read this?
You know how we all complain when cops freak out about cell phones videoing their actions in public?
Well, on the court house steps is public, and they're surveilling a public place in order to police the activity.
That "phone booth is private" decision is a gentlemens' agreement. Out here, we have directional mics and signal processing and bugs. You need privacy, go find a phone booth.
like the way they include the IP address of his "full-time employer", presumably in the hope of getting him fitted.
You forgot to mention we all now know how small their weewees are.
But maybe if those white hat people started actually releasing stuff in the wild and real damages start happening ...
Re: Re: Re:
Holy !@#$, what a twisted interpretation! You believe TD exists to foil law enforcement's attempts to subvert crypto?!? Hasn't it yet occurred to you that crypto is good in and of itself? It can protect you from predators. Is it not possible that's why TD defends crypto, not just to foil law enforcement?
Holy !@#$. :-P
