I really hate this, because this is what bloats and kills products. It's never complete, it always needs more features, until it implodes.

It's the corpse model of product development.

Ah so that's what we're calling the wreckless endangerment of pedestrians these days... innovation!

This is also the biggest fallacy in economic, and even political theory. The assumption of rational actors.

If you have reading comprehension problems, sure, that's what he said.

Intelligence agencies want as many possible vectors for attack as possible. Especially unknown ones that you are not prepared for them to exploit. Everyone is assuming they wouldn't bother with a client backdoor... That right there is enough reason for them to get a client backdoor!

Gotta keep the hype train rolling. All aboard!

The problem is we need _something_ like government to advocate for, and protect the safety and interests of the people. Something that has teeth. Because without it, we, and our land, and resources, will be raped.

I'm disgusted that the words encryption and PHP were even used in the same sentence. I need to go shower.

In my university we often had group projects and at the end of the project you scored your team members. If the entire team scored one member highly or poorly, their grade could be weighted higher or lower.

That's why you can use vim in emacs. Since I've been using spacemacs, I don't miss vim anymore. Use the best editor together with the best operating system!

And it's not just regular people, it's developers, programmers. Most devs I know look at pgp and are totally capable of figuring it out, but what they say basically boils down to: ain't nobody got time for that

Are people forgetting the legal perspective?

You can't charge your customer for an item they didn't buy. Trying to make the computer "dumb" doesn't change this. You're going to get angry customers on twitter, chargebacks, and possibly sued.

Ultimately yeah, they can refuse you for any reason they want and they don't have to tell you why. You're not a citizen, you don't have a right to enter.

This is what I don't get. Would you carry a briefcase over the border filled with confidential documents, photos, love letters, and a porno magazine? Would you think that customs has no right to open it and ask you for the combination of the briefcase is locked?

How is a cell phone any different?

Asking for passwords to Facebook accounts or other information that isn't on your phone, now that's another story.

When crossing the border... backup and factory reset. Don't carry anything with you over the border you don't want customs officers looking at. I just hang onto one of my older phones to use when I travel.

Most of these are about deportation and immigration, where it's clear that non-citizens do not have a right to remain in Canada and are trying to use other sections of the charter to say, for example, that deportation would deprive them of section 7 rights. Of course many of these types of claims will fail.

But I'm not seeing where "non citizens have no rights" or the court says that whole sections cannot be applied to non-citizens and the word everyone doesn't mean what we think. In fact I'm seeing some rulings where the court acknowledged for example that equality rights do apply to non citizens.

I am seeing a case where they allowed someone to be detained, but it seems they found a way to decide that the restriction was reasonable and therefore constitutional, but they didn't decide that non-citizens cannot benefit from this right.
