Apply has put a lot of resources into cultivating the privacy first image, if they give into government pressure and backdoor their own product they are going to take a big brand hit.

Enabling a feature that would block any company competing on the ad market probably wouldn’t be legal, without fair warning.

I don’t think they are going to backdoor their own product.

I don’t store any documents that contain private info on NC, I store them on ProtonDrive.

Why not just run a standard internet facing NC instance, and just share the file with a shared link?

The campaign to get Trump to grant clemency to Weinstein was later the subject of a New York Times story, which detailed how Weinstein’s allies paid for access to various Trump insiders.

Bribing the president to get out of jail for fraud, it’s every billionaires dream.

Fair enough.

I just noticed that most of the mods were removed, and you were promoted, and it seemed link it was your first post in world News :)

Did you get mod because you liked the post?

Post made by Bruce Schneier about Mitnick earlier this year.

[2023.01.27] Early in his career, Kevin Mitnick successfully hacked California law. He told me the story when he heard about my new book, which he partially recounts his 2012 book, Ghost in the Wires.

The setup is that he just discovered that there’s warrant for his arrest by the California Youth Authority, and he’s trying to figure out if there’s any way out of it.

As soon as I was settled, I looked in the Yellow Pages for the nearest law school, and spent the next few days and evenings there poring over the Welfare and Institutions Code, but without much hope.

Still, hey, “Where there’s a will…” I found a provision that said that for a nonviolent crime, the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court expired either when the defendant turned twenty-one or two years after the commitment date, whichever occurred later. For me, that would mean two years from February 1983, when I had been sentenced to the three years and eight months.

Scratch, scratch. A little arithmetic told me that this would occur in about four months. I thought, What if I just disappear until their jurisdiction ends?

This was the Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. This was a lot of manual research – no search engines in those days. He researched the relevant statutes, and case law that interpreted those statutes. He made copies of everything to hand to his attorney.

I called my attorney to try out the idea on him. His response sounded testy: “You’re absolutely wrong. It’s a fundamental principle of law that if a defendant disappears when there’s a warrant out for him, the time limit is tolled until he’s found, even if it’s years later.”

And he added, “You have to stop playing lawyer. I’m the lawyer. Let me do my job."

I pleaded with him to look into it, which annoyed him, but he finally agreed. When I called back two days later, he had talked to my Parole Officer, Melvin Boyer, the compassionate guy who had gotten me transferred out of the dangerous jungle at LA County Jail. Boyer had told him, “Kevin is right. If he disappears until February 1985, there’ll be nothing we can do. At that point the warrant will expire, and he’ll be off the hook.”

So he moved to Northern California and lived under an assumed name for four months.

What’s interesting to me is how he approaches legal code in the same way a hacker approaches computer code: pouring over the details, looking for a bug – a mistake – leading to an exploitable vulnerability. And this was in the days before you could do any research online. He’s spending days in the law school library.

This is exactly the sort of thing I am writing about in A Hacker’s Mind. Legal code isn’t the same as computer code, but it’s a series of rules with inputs and outputs. And just like computer code, legal code has bugs. And some of those bugs are also vulnerabilities. And some of those vulnerabilities can be exploited – just as Mitnick learned.

Mitnick was a hacker. His attorney was not.

If all votes are equal, you are going to drown the front page in 1 up vote posts from communities with less than 10 people.

Yes, and it was the last part that got them banned, but I guess you are being willfully obtuse.

If you are so insecure about your faith that you can’t handle some dumb kid posting funny images on the internet, then you probably need to rethink some of the choices you made in life.

If it’s more than just dumb memes, actually harassment or targeted hate, then take it up with the admins.

Allowing anti religion community while banning the pro religion one is creating a real deficit of different opinions here.

It wasn’t their religious views that got them banned, you can be religious without being a bigot and everything would be fine.

I’m guessing it’s because Denmark was the first country to legalize pornography, I think the person in the image is trying to sell pornographic magazines.

At least that was the only way I could get it to make sense.

The one thing that rubs me the wrong way, is her history with conflict of interest. She knew that it would be unethical not to disclose she was working with Apple and Amazon, and she is defending what she did by saying she didn’t break any laws.

She knew it was wrong and did it any ways, it says a lot about a person.

Yep, it feels a little too much like The Minority Report.

However humans can’t live on fish alone for 3 months without serious health effects. Hopefully he gets that looked into.

You got a source for that?

From what I could find, people generally seem to agree that you can survive a really long time on fish alone, with the biggest issues being the lack of vitamin-c.

It’s not healthy to only eat fish, and much less so raw fish, but 3 months shouldn’t be a serious health risk.

Sabbah modded all the mods from the Palestine community, and judging from their posts it was just too agenda post. I have never seen so many posts about Palestine before, all from pro-Palestine news sources.

The person is clearly not fit to be a mod, but CantStopPoppin and Sabbah are given each other mods in other communities as well, I doubt this has anything to do with having the interest of the community at heart.
