> That works out at around 25% of the population voting for it.
Correct, newborn babies were denied a vote. What percentage of the British population voted to Remain in the EU, out of curiosity?

airports that operate common departure lounges[2] must comply with
UK Border Force conditions that are necessary to prevent any
circumvention of UK immigration controls.
This includes a requirement to capture a facial biometric for each
domestic passenger on entry and exit of a departure lounge in order
to verify their identity.
[2] AIUI what they mean by "common departure lounge" is a lounge accessible to international and domestic passengers without having to pass fully through to arrivals and re-checking in on another flight, but I could be wrong.
I feel like you and the parent of your post are misinterpreting what sho said. I didn't read it as him trying to justify it, or even say "the tech is there (so let's just accept it)", I read it as him pointing out that it's not just the TSA (or other US agencies) doing it.
And how do you know that he's a "coward" and not doing anything about it? What are you doing about it, other than presumably giving money to the ACLU or EFF?
> England had a police state when the only way to do that was to open paper mail with steam.
England (I assume you mean Britain) has never been a "police state", however draconian new laws may be in this day and age. What are you talking about?
Alongside original Doom it's probably in my top 2 games, and it's brilliant (and productivity destroying) that both still have so much active development and community around them[1][2], 15-25 years after they were released.
[Flexible SSL] is less secure than [even no SSL],
and could even cause you trouble when you decide
to switch away from it[1]
I don't know if flatjaf's post is just referring to Flexible SSL, but if there are any issues with either of CF's "Full SSL" options I'd be interested to hear them (genuinely, in case that sounds like insincere sarcasm).

I haven't read the book, and have no opinion either way on it, but if anyone is interested, Bugliosi was apparently inspired to write it after taking part as prosecutor in this TV trial of Oswald, broadcast in 1986:

> I can confidently say that these files will uncover nothing to "prove" otherwise.
Governments would never release files that support, never mind prove, conspiracies of this magnitude, whether the conspiracy occurred or not.
Not only does this happen in the US, it's legendary, and can lead to comedy gold:

> Hell, Karnataka Govt. even tried to cap the price of movie tickets.
This just sounds like a good thing to me.
The state government was under pressure from Kannada
organisations to cap movie tickets in multiplexes to Rs
200 so that a common man can afford to watch Kannada or
non-Kannada films even in [multiplexes]Probably because the BBC knows that's not even remotely true. The very term "concentration camp" itself derives from the earlier Spanish reconcentrados (reconcentration camps), used most notoriously in Cuba.
The USA not only employed concentration camps - alongside vast amounts of other barbarism, including waterboarding - in the Philippines, as they had done decades earlier against the native American Indians, and even during the American Civil War, but actually forced an act upon that country, the Reconcentration Act of 1903 to forcibly relocate populations into designated areas.
Aside from the USA and Spain using concentration camps well before the second Boer War, the French also used them in Algeria in the 1830s and 1850s.
There are probably other examples, but the first modern era (last ~200 years) concentration camp is perhaps the one established by the Paraguayan military in 1813.
According to that Wikipedia page, The Equation Group refers to "a collection of tools used for hacking". Targeting hacking tools seems to me exactly what a security software company should be doing.
>Such an "innocent" company would have no reason to get involved in cyberwarfare between state-actors, while Kaspersky is heavily involved in such activities and pouring considerable resources into them.
Even if we assume these tools can only target governments and not businesses or individuals, perhaps Kaspersky wishes to obtain contracts with the governments targeted. I don't see how this is particularly sinister or illegitimate.
> This is especially damning since they are clearly targeting state-actors that are antagonistic to Russian interest, such as the US (Equation Group) and its allies (Israel)
Your Wikipedia link states: "The Shadow Brokers announced that it had stolen malware code from the Equation Group [...] Exploits against Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances and Fortinet's firewalls were featured in some malware samples released by The Shadow Brokers [...] Juniper also confirmed that its NetScreen firewalls were affected. The EternalBlue exploit was used to conduct the damaging worldwide WannaCry ransomware attack."
Three American companies and vast numbers of individual users and civil government institutions around the world (including the UK Health Service). Are they all Russian interests?
Even if that were true - and I don't see any evidence from you - how does it back up your claim that there wouldn't be much left of Europe if Europeans had more control over their own local affairs?
> How do you equal shooting rubber bullets to "potential killing of civilians"?
Because I know what rubber bullets are, and what they can do. Whereas you appear to have no idea.
Only if you believe "Europe" = "nation states" or an EU super state.
Independence for smaller states - ie, taking back control and power from a greater/globalist state - would, if anything, make Europe (people and culture) more European again.
> They are using rubber bullets to disperse the crowds, that's not exactly a crime against humanity as some seem to suggest here.
So people are wrong to suggest the maiming and potential killing of civilians by police is a crime against humanity, but it's reasonable for you to claim the police are "awesome" based on a couple of them sharing a joke with you once, when you were high?
Where/when did they claim that?
Whataboutism would be, for example, CF attempting to defend retaining dodgy/illegal sites by attacking ALS for its dodgy/illegal origins.
I agree. I don't think downvoting is particularly conducive to good discussion (there's already a way to flag posts that may be inappropriate or spammy), but most people who downvote probably just disagree and don't want or have time to reply or argue.
> Hope I didn't make you too angry
I wouldn't say I was angry, I just saw three comments about downvotes which seemed a bit excessive, then saw more in other comments.
Thanks for the replies and reasons though.
How many times have you misunderstood why you were upvoted and had to ask?
> you call it complaining.
"If downvoters keep on this hypocrisis I will
delete the post again. This is ridiculous."
