No. With a court order, FISA always allowed surveillance of "agents of foreign powers", even if they were US citizens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveilla... .

This is about foreign customers only, so as an attempt to abolish the constitution, it is severely flawed in respecting it enough to keep its distance. I can't think of any US service I am using that doesn't already require KYC? N

Well some authoritarian regime would otherwise just do it whenever it got started, and it would require maybe a week?

I have all the love and appreciation in the world for enjoying a weekend spent in configuration files. But I feel the need to state the obvious: This is a long blog post ending with a preview to "future installments of the guide"

In civil law, the roles of plaintiff and defendant are largely interchangeable. If you order food and don't like it, the restaurant might sue you for payment. Or you need to sue the restaurant if you already paid. It's rather arbi

As I said, it’s debatable if the guy’s reach needed to be limited, the point you are arguing. What’s not debatable is that the breathless outrage-bait under discussion misrepresented the case for limiting the Dr’s reach with a straw-man arg

Well, first of all, “tweets” don’t “trend”. Terms do. So this description feels off, already. Next, I wonder, but don’t care enough to look it up, if this guy is adequately summarized by only mentioning his concern for children? Screw that,

I feel like when you diss journalists, it should generally be for something they actually did wrong, not preemptively based on your imagination. If they are so terrible, there should be no need to invent stuff. When people read something li

So… a federal jury found this guy guilty, but here we have a friend of his who is going to be totally neutral in a reevaluation? So they set out to describe it as „an accident“ because „blameless post-mortems“ are something people really li

The headline is bullshit. It’s one of dozens of possible measures, it’s a limit only on non-essential trips, and it’s included only in the worst of several levels, which is unlikely to ever be activated. Also, this crowd will love to hear,

The tests sets are large enough to render this moot, as the confidence intervals are almost certainly smaller than the precisions typically reported, i. e. 0.1 %.
