Ladd Erickson, don't limit yourself, think outside the box
Dear Ladd Erickson,
I understand you are looking for evidence in unedited and unpublished videos in order to charge Amy Goodman for her brazen and willful acts of journalism.
Why are you limiting yourself to unedited videos? Why not edited videos as well?
What about videos with special effects added? Digitally enhanced?
Thank you for your ongoing efforts to protect us all from news and information that we should not be aware of. Government censorship and abuse of power to intimidate journalists is a time honored practice in history. The first amendment should never stand in the way of your passion and zeal.
In case my sarcastic message clouded the issue. My direct answer is: NO, it is NOT bias to keep pointing out that the 1st amendment makes no provision for national security.
Just like it's not 'bias' to argue about the sun actually rising in the East. Even if there are people who think different.
Is it BIAS to remind people that the sun rises in the East instead of the West? It would seem that the obsession with this concept, and lack of open mindedness on the issue would be a strong indicator of bias.
Don't focus on observational evidence. Focus on the controversy about which direction the sun rises.
If you've flipped a coin hundreds of billions of times (4 billion years * 365), and it has always come up West; it doesn't mean that the coin toss won't land on East tomorrow morning.
Hillary said that Wikileaks should 'return' the stolen digital documents. And, IIRC, it was Mike who pointed out "that's not how digital works". (Hear that MPAA / RIAA?)
If the government wanted physical keys to our property, it might (and I say 'might') be possible to keep those physical keys secure. Even knowing that physical keys can be copied.
But digital keys, unlike physical keys, can be copied by hackers, over the network, without taking the original copy. (Do you hear that RIAA / MPAA?)
Given the recent news stories of hacking, would Hillary really want her own property protected by a system where the government had an unknown number of copies of keys to her property, and the key holders were unknown, and it might go completely unnoticed if hackers made off with copies of those keys.
I wouldn't want Hillary to leave her property's back doors open to the public. Just open to anyone who has a special key to get in through that door. Of course, as with the rest of us, she should not be aware of how many copies there are of that key, or who has them. She should just assume that only good guys will have a copy of that digital key.
Remind Hillary that a digital key to her property, unlike a physical key, can be stolen over the internet by the same kind of people who hacked the DNC.
Netfilx will never compete on 'theater experience' features like: * screaming children * inability to pause the movie * listening to other people narrate the movie * . . . or tell their life story * over priced limited selection of food * being treated like a potential criminal before you can enter the theater * 30 minutes of commercials * . . . before the commercials that begin at the movie's published "start" time * cell phones ringing * inability to use your own cell phone if necessary * inability to rewind and see or hear something again
How can Netflix compete with that?
And if you don't go to the theater then YOU are having a negative impact on the reproductive opportunities for bed bugs.
The horses and buggies need the most lanes. Because they predominate our roads.
We can dedicate one puny lane for these upstart automobile things. They won't ever amount to much. But their owners are loud about their right to drive on the roads. We'll always need horse and buggy as a backup for unreliable, noisy, smelly, difficult to start automobiles.
The present . . .
Most cities have a lane expressly marked for the exclusive use of carpools and BMW owners. We can make allowance for self driving cars to use this lane. But self driving cars will never be any good. Self driving cars will always need a backup driver.
Yes, it would be nice if voters were intelligent and voted in their (and everyone's) best interests.
But they don't.
Half the voters are below average intelligence. They like a reality TV based election system. As long as the candidates seem angry about the same things and make them feel good about their miserable lives.
How many years would it take to process a FOIA request about how long it takes to process a FOIA request about how long it takes to process a FOIA request?
Comcast will charge an administrative fee for the costs of ensuring that Comcast is not screwing you with unnecessary hardware fees.
The new fee will be 25% higher than the previously charged unnecessary hardware fees you were paying.
What about a fee for throttling? A fee for the monitoring and administration of bandwidth caps? And a fee to ensure privacy -- that is for Comcast to keep private the other ways it is screwing you that you don't yet know about.

Probably not O(n).
