precedent that clearing your browser history may actually be obstruction of justice

10 out of 10 Big Brothers agree: Encryption must die!

Skimmed this and it's very much what is presented in Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World. Well presented book, highly regarded, and a good read.

Nope try again. Re-read the post

You don't have to go back a hundred years, a decade or two is about enough.

Evidence that this is true?

I (and most people) would like it to be true, but that doesn't make it true.

**** the Krauts. If they were crazy enough to follow Hitler and kill so many innocent people, then they deserved to have the world rise up and put them in their place.

Well, discriminatory businesses still exist in the world, so I can't state definitively that it is always true. There are certainly many cases of businesses losing business because of reputation hits, though. My point is that in an economy as well developed as the U.S. in the information age, its pretty ****ing suicidal to shun a huge percentage of your customers. Mississippi is 40% black, do you think a restaurant could easily survive by alienating 40% of the potential customers, + the large portion of the remaining 60% that abhors racism + the portion of the remaining people that are racist but don't want to out themselves by patronizing a blatantly racist business? In a competitive market, I think not. They have to pay the same rent as the restaurant next door that serves anyone who will walk in. They have to hire from the same labor pool, order supplies from the same sources.

Meh that's some weak stuff.

1) Marriage equality isn't nearly as contentious of an issue as excluding black people from eating. Not nearly as many people are passionate about it, and frankly, it's just not important enough for many people other than LGBT people to care enough to apply actual pressure to Chick Fil A about it.

2) There *was* an actually strong outcry about it in spite of 1) and eventually CFA walked back their stance, stopped donating to anti-gay causes, etc.

To me, the most interesting thing that CFA offers to this conversation is the fact that they pass on like 15% of their potential business (by closing on Sunday), and yet are able to favorably compete in the fast food market. Clearly if a racist restaurant made really delicious chicken biscuits, it would be harder for them to be silenced by protest alone.

In other news, top troll scientists have discovered proof of the existence of a troll/anti-troll collision:

An Iowa Chick-fil-A is donating to a gay pride picnic

That's pretty cool.

IOWA: LEADING THE WAY LIKE ALWAYS

Nah its all good. I'd rather just declare victory due to you running away tail between legs than argue both sides of the debate.

Low Key,

I hope the governments of the world do not get their way when it comes to encryption, as it would make everyone that uses the internet less safe. I've read with great interest about the "crypto wars" in the 1990s in the US, and I learned about how encryption was considered munitions and export of strong encryption to foreign countries was banned. I've also read about the failed clipper chip.

What is very interesting about the weak export grade encryption is that those misguided efforts came back to haunt the US government, and have made the internet less safe for the entire world. Recently, two attacks have been discovered, in which attackers can force web browsers to use weak, export grade encryption, and easily crack the encryption, either by factoring the RSA key in the case of the FREAK attack, or cracking the Diffie-Hellman key exchange in the case of the logjam attack.

Amusingly, fbi.gov, whitehouse.gov, and nsa.gov were affected by the FREAK vulnerability.

If I remember correctly from your posts in the programming forum, you're an American. Maybe it's just the historical context of this issue, or the worldwide obsession with American politics, but your country almost seems to be leading the charge to thwart encryption. I hope the citizens of your country can talk some sense into your leaders, for the sake of every person that uses the internet.

Cheers!

Yes.

This is pretty bewildering as support for an argument against the provisions in the CRA that desegregated private businesses.

One of Dennis Hastert's victims revealed.

The girl with the mattress at Columbia made a sex tape and intentionally released it.

Made a fake sex tape that is really performance art designed to create discussion about her being attacked both by her rapist and later by ikes and ppl of that type.

So you don't find this the least bit strange?

I find like 99% of performance art weird.

Like is it obvious it is performance art or could it easily mistaken for any random video on pornhub?

In what way?

I saw a still or two in the article and it looked like the latter.
