https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-co... There's no mention here of the regulation only applying during elections - where are you getting that from? -- Can you link me to some of the lies fr

They weren't appealing to authority though. An appeal to authority is "It's true because Snopes says so", they just linked to Snopes' reasoning as a shorthand for repeating the reasoning themselves. If Snopes didn&#

The BBC is not government funded, and all television news in the UK, including Murdoch's Sky News is required by law to be unbiased. If it's a choice between the BBC and the constant, blatant, society distorting lies you see in

> Can't find a link, but I swear I've watched it in a blockchain event in youtube. This is a perfect example of "solution looking for a problem". You heard about the thing via Bitcoin channels, you only care about it

That actually is often why they do it. Obviously, they are also sexually attracted to children and are evil. Those two are also requirements, but the third is the audience. Consider this - how many people do you think make YouTube style vlo

If possession is not illegal, why is distribution? You point makes no sense. Consider your argument with respect to privacy and data issues - obviously possession of information can be in and of itself harmful because it can be something th

It seems like one of the least problematic ways of generating suspects to me - what's the issue compared to, say, eye witness testimony?

The Laffer Curve makes a number of assumptions without evidence, most notably that tax revenue as function of tax rate is memoryless, when it obviously isn't. This is ignoring the issue, even when accepting the Laffer curve as true, th

I mean, IANAD but I would definitely get a professional diagnosis before acting on the assumption my child has a specific medical condition...?

Well, I mean you didn't provide /any/ examples, you stated something false. My point was more that this "battle of wits" cops vs robbers narrative is just Hollywood nonsense. Do you feel the same about MI6/GCHQ

As another former investment banker, and current NCA Investigator, and - for what it's worth - Cambridge graduate, I can tell you your description of the relative competencies of the good guys and bad guys is just elitist crap.

Yeah... especially as it's apparently given to significantly more than 1% of children!

Am I missing something... what's wrong with being below the 99th percentile...?

That's kind of like saying taking a pay cut or working part time is tax avoidance. "Normal people" can also avoid taxes by giving their income to charity if they want. From reading your posts it seems like you jumped to a con

> "data gathered from dragnet programs is [...] used in the [...] prosecution of normal domestic crimes in both the US and UK." I don't think this is true - sigint is not admissable in the UK (or US afaik).

Electric cars are replacing a definite fossil fuel with something potentially renewable. Bitcoin is a brand new, utterly pointless use of electricity.

That's just not how it works. Eventually you have to present actual evidence in an actual court and it won't be "this software you never heard of said so".

I am law enforcement - the opposite is true. LEOs are looking for any opportunity to close off their cases with as little effort as possible.

It's my personal belief that this line of thinking, which is common among "geeky" types but not among the general population, is a form of slight delusion or power fantasy. Is there anything you can provide to convince me it&

I understand the theory thanks, I'm just disputing that this scenario is anything other than exceptionally rare. Parallel construction is used to protect sensitive sources, not cover up illegality.

It seems utterly nuts to me that someone could sleep at work as a reasonable alternative to drinking coffee. Most jobs and workplaces are just not at all set up to sleep during the working day.

Are you saying embezzlement and fraud are legal in Switzerland? This analogy makes no sense.

I don't understand your use of "monitor" here. Banks by their very nature "monitor" your financial details, what else are they going to be doing? Swiss banks will routinely refuse to honour legal requests for inform
