yutah··on Images that fool computer vision raise security concerns
I think it is this way for 2 reasons... one, for-profit prisons and two, the ability for the government to put anyone away for a while
yutah··on The Cost of My Mother’s Cardiac Care in the United States and India
All hospitals should probably be required to do something like this: http://www.surgerycenterok.com/pricing/ ...
yutah··on From Reddit to Pornhub, Websites Slow Down for Net Neutrality on September 10
this is negligible (the screen space it takes is probably more important)
yutah··on Stop and Seize
In France, don't you have to buy your matches from the government? (because you have too many laws, not everybody should)

Also, according to the video, I don't know what the lower limit is but they seized $2,500 from someone (less then 2000 euros at current rates).

yutah··on The FBI Says How It ‘Legally’ Pinpointed Silk Road’s Server
Was that "Parallel construction" from the FBI to hide it's NSA source (intelligence laundering)?

yutah··on Microsoft Defies Court Order, Will Not Give Emails to US Government
If I understand correctly, from some news I read [1], they are already sharing information with at least the DEA and the IRS. The DEA and the IRS were told to cover up the source of that information by coming up with their own independent leads to recreate the information obtained ("Parallel construction" is really intelligence laundering).

yutah··on Google's end-to-end key distribution proposal
that is probably because end-to-end is not fully implemented yet...
yutah··on Microsoft Defies Court Order, Will Not Give Emails to US Government
So I guess the US government is not logging everything yet... so this is 2 good news.
yutah··on Microsoft Defies Court Order, Will Not Give Emails to US Government
one global country would probably fix that... or I guess you could end the Internet... but to tell you the truth, "cloud computing" needs to end instead.
yutah··on Google's end-to-end key distribution proposal
If you can see your emails on your Android device and Google is admin on your device, why do you say that it is impossible for them to read your emails? I don't mean that they could read them in the cloud but if they can read them locally on your Android device and for example they could send a message back to Google saying "I think this guy should get ads for a new router".... but of course they could do much worst (they could send whole messages back for example).
yutah··on Google's end-to-end key distribution proposal
Google would not give up the ability to see email content... maybe they would analyze them locally on your phone instead of on a remote server (that might even save them from buying a few server too)
yutah··on How to walk through walls using the 4th dimension [video]
Can you travel faster then the speed of light if you use the fourth dimension? (my Internet ping is too high)
yutah··on Judge Sentenced to 28 Years for Selling Kids to the Prison System (2013)
where did you get that expectation from?
yutah··on Some Dark Patterns Now Illegal in UK
also defaults to non-free shipping at least some times...

I wonder why they purposely fuck up the search... is it to prioritize shipped from amazon products (sort by new and popular is one example)?

yutah··on Judge Sentenced to 28 Years for Selling Kids to the Prison System (2013)
Maybe the judge knew what they could afford for brides while staying profitable... but anyways $1 million or $200 millions is not a big difference for doing something like this unless all you think about is money.
yutah··on Google's fact-checking bots build vast knowledge bank
email providers and all other providers need to have access only to encrypted data eventually, hopefully soon (to remove the temptation to use this valuable data...)
yutah··on Google's fact-checking bots build vast knowledge bank
Which large website did you get banned from for scraping? I did some scrapping and never got banned... perhaps my scraping's rate was not too fast.
yutah··on Serendipity – When 2 people listen to the same song at the same time
or don't forget to raise your volume so that you don't miss anything
yutah··on Email Is Still the Best Thing on the Internet
everyone should be issued an IPv6 address at birth
yutah··on China's Underground Wholesale Markets
it runs iOS browser and everyting (since according to Apple that is the only browser that works at all)?
yutah··on California “Kill Switch” Bill Could Be Used to Disrupt Protests
This reminds me of Apple's patent to remotely disable protester's (cellphone) cameras: http://www.zdnet.com/apple-patent-could-remotely-disable-pro...
yutah··on KDE Plasma 5
you are looking for minimalist desktop environments and also wish that KDE do a complete revamp at every version number change?
yutah··on Show HN: Put “GIF” in front of any YouTube URL and hit enter
you can also take a look at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl also to find out how to download Youtube videos
yutah··on Tesla's Infinite Mile Warranty
That's why I want an electric car... Probably far fewer parts. I would be curious to compare a combustion engine car's parts list VS electric car.
yutah··on Edward Snowden: The Untold Story
this link redirects me to the wired.com article...
yutah··on Salmon Cannon Fires 40 Fish a Minute
some commercial fisheries will enjoy renting those too
yutah··on Virtual servers: No safer than any other kind
I use them to keep my system uncluttered and for using different OSes... nothing to do with security for me...
yutah··on Inside a Chinese Bitcoin Mine
for example, they fixed critical bugs in clients updates... new bugs could easily be introduced (on purpose or not)...
yutah··on Inside a Chinese Bitcoin Mine
they can change the client's code at any time (this might be a Bitcoin flaw)
yutah··on Inside a Chinese Bitcoin Mine
that doesn't include the cost of hardware but I guess it is negligible... and I thought mining was not profitable at current prices.
