Without further ado: McDermott is fucking insane.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Tough luck with that.

I agree with Sam Harris on that. It's the same as a safety deposit box. Do you know which podcast has that discussion? From the titles, the latest one seems to be about the ethics of meat production on the youtube versions of his podcasts. Is it the Ask Me Anything one that was before it? His channel's at http://www.youtube.com/user/samharrisorg .

I don't like that burden of litigation thing. It's not fair, and can be used to financially fuck someone up intentionally.
SN, the discussion of the iPhone encryption issue is during the first part of the most recent podcast, which as you point out is labelled the ethics of meat production.
Also, Billy from Ockham noted a defence to the imposition of the Burden:

IMO, the key issue that will decide the current spat between Apple and the FBI is the definition of "undue burden" as it applies to what the FBI is asking Apple to do. None of this privacy shit will play any serious role in the legal battle because the FBI already has an order to search the phone. There is also nothing in the relevant decisions that mentions side‐effects of compelling a third party to help the gov't under the All Writs Act. The only question is how much effort it would require from Apple. That's been the standard since 1977.

Here in Canukistan I have always pointed out that the best form of government, for me at any rate, is a minority one rather than a majority. The reason being that a minority always has great difficulty in passing new laws or amending old ones.

Something our friends to the south of us should consider. I would say north of us as well but Alaska has always struck me as being only nominally part of the USA.

They are a different breed of people up there. More like the Old West, but not completely, where men are mostly men, and women are mostly women, and the grizzly bears are scared of both of them.

Isn't a bit circular to define "mansplaining" as "patronising"? In any event, it's sexist.

Is anyone else getting tired of SJWs inventing sexist and/or racist new labels for things that already have non-sexist and non-racist labels?
I thought I had internalised misogyny but it turned out to be an undescended testicle.

Oh, I was going to give that one a miss, but maybe I'll watch it anyways. I hope the meat parts of the discussion don't kill the buzz of my no longer being a vegetarian though. :shock:

I remember that after the Hobby Lobby decision, a lot of liberals were certain that he (and Alito etc.) only ruled the way he did because... Christianity. On the other hand, I don't remember many of them dialing back that certainty when the Court later unanimously upheld a Muslim's religious freedom in Holt v. Hobbs, citing the same law as in the Hobby Lobby case (RFRA/RLUIPA, with its "compelling governmental interest" and "least restrictive means" standard).
To many of us, the key issue in Hobby Lobby was "closely-held corporation," with the bit about religion (in particular) being a side issue. That's one of the reasons it is nothing like Holt v. Hobbs.

I know that most of us are here because of atheism/secularism, but that doesn't make everything about religion.

He took the law and the Constitution seriously, and he tried to uphold them as he understood them—including in many cases where they conflicted with his personal views. I think Toobin is virtue-signaling, pandering to those liberals who haven't read a law or a Court decision in their lives but suddenly become mind-reading legal experts when a case doesn't pan out how they want it to.
You are, of course, entitled to your own reading of Scalia, but it differs greatly from mine. And there is no conflict in taking something very seriously and writing into it shit that was never there to start with. Hell, that's the definition of "healthy marriage" to many of us.

The censoring of wrongspeak on Twitter is developing rapidly since the commissioning of Anita Sarky et al. at the Trust & Safety Committee for Owellian Thought Control

A prominent Conservative commentator was banned on Friday, evidence of shadow-banning is popping up all over. And now Adam Baldwin's account is acting very strangely indeed. He sent this tweet 7 hours ago:
and since then his account has glitched & his profile shows only this tweet before hanging and failing to show the other 7997 tweets.

https://twitter.com/AdamBaldwin

If the Thought Controllers win the Twitter battle, will they declare victory in the war on Free Thought?

I know some here have a low opinion of twitter, but losing it in this way has big implications for online freedom of expression. I don't see twitter lasting if they do win, but they would probably take that as victory as well.

Update: Seems Adam Baldwin has left Twitter http://www.ijreview.com/2016/02/543989- ... s-twitter/ . Not sure what the weirdness is with his tweet feed then. Maybe he deleted everything else.

Freedom of religion isn't an absolute. If it were then gay marriage would have never gotten out of the chute. And likewise with the whole kerfuffle in the US over religious organizations attempting to opt-out of various obligations expected of everyone else. Logic doesn't seem to be your strong suit.
Gay marriage doesn't go against with freedom of religion. Extending freedom to everyone to marry doesn't violate the religious freedom of anyone. You're free to believe that gay marriage is the work of Satan or whatever you want. You're not allowed to make your belief become law because of separation of Church and State, which is the premise of freedom of religion.
Really? A premise of freedom of religion? Must have missed that in my readings on the topic, although that was largely my point, i.e., that the freedom of religion is not an absolute in being able to either prevent other people from engaging in specific practices - which the religious community in the US at least certainly attempted in the case of same-sex marriage there, OR to permit practices - faith healing, and stoning or execution for adultery or homosexuality, for examples - that the larger community repudiates.

While I'll concede that the separation of Church and State is an important principle, it is that which prevents the freedom of religion from being an absolute. Which was, once again, my point.

The US equivalent of a majority government in a parliamentary system would be when a party controls both the presidency and both houses of congress. This is a relatively rare occurrence. Usually both parties have at least some share in governing. Even if the opposition only controls one house of congress they can still muck up the work somewhat. In the Senate if the majority party has less than 60 our of 100 seats the minority can ground things to a halt by filibustering. The equivalent of a "minority government" is pretty much the usual condition of the US federal government.

Maybe, although maybe only "vigilante" because the authorities do tend to draw the line at that at least. Others, I'm not so sure about: Pakistan bill aiming to ban child marriages shot down as 'anti-Islamic' and 'blasphemous' Saw another story recently - lost the link - about some "Westernized" mullah-fuckhead trying to justify that on the basis of "cultural practices". Deport the fuckers, every last one of them - at least those who won't repudiate Islam.

Somewhat apropos of which, something a little closer to home, particularly for Canucks:

Bill before the House of Commons to criminalize "barbaric cultural practices". And, no surprise, a Muslim - Senator Mobina Jaffer - although I think she's an Ishmali (?) so one of the saner sects, and a Christian are getting their knickers in a twist over the implications, and have requested a change in the title of the Bill.

Why? I was under the impression that the satellites in GPS are just emitters and that longitude, latitude and altitude could be worked out client side without any additional connection.
I was less than clear on that. I should have said location info. Sometimes the ADD kicks in a remarkable disconnect between what I think I typed and what I actually typed. It's fun.

Anyway.

You need to be able to track local motion (come on baby...oh never mind) so that you don't have to constantly be in communication with the GPS satellites. It allows all kinds of handy things, like accurately providing location and motion info when you're inside, or the weather is really shitty and satellite communication is pants. If you're really clever, you can even provide fairly accurate information with all the transmitters turned off. (Inertial Navigation, it was how we did things before GPS) By having local/client-side location mechanisms, you're not as dependent on clean GPS signals.

Really the only information the feds are looking for is about who bought the guns. The call data has already been collected. The phone actually wasn't the suspects but belong to his employer so should that complicates it.

Also from what I understand what is being ask of Apple will only apply to this one phone. As in if they want it to do with any other phone it will require unique code every time.

Also it seems that they are only even able to do this because of the age of the phone and the os.


I could have all my information wrong.
Once the precedent is set, it becomes serial monogamy. "Just this phone. Okay, now just THIS phone. Okay, now JUST this phone." it would be an endless stream of "just this phone"'s.
I agree. My point was that it's a process that has to be done one phone at a time.
Until the FBI gets tired of that, and finds another case to justify extending the precedent to build in that access as a standard part of iOS.

It doesn't mention her being attacked by fellow SJWs, who were the ones who drove her off of Twitter, nor her myriad of racist tweets regarding white folk, but we do get to hear about the sniper who was threatening her. And we get to hear from the always alluring Arthur Chu.

As the last one went so well - I was thinking:

- perhaps those that did not take part in the first one should be given priority. (As a newbie - I would even be willing to give up my privileged [!] position for someone else)
- as the first hangout proved secure and was not recorded, anyone who had concerns has a chance to reconsider about joining in (and I'm sure would be more than welcome - that means you Skep Tickle!)
- I think the plan was to schedule for Oceania time - to give the Southies better representation. Has the time been set yet?
- the hangout ended up being an informal conversation (which was fine) - but if anyone has suggestions for a set agenda, perhaps a thread could be created for it.

Looking forward to the next one - and thanks to our very own Agent 21 (Comhcinc) for setting it up
I'd have joined the hangout last weekend except I had a full day of family commitments. This weekend looks fairly clear, so if it's during my waking hours I'll probably throw my hat into the ring for a spot.

In the past 2-3 years, what with TAMs (RIP) & other conferences & just making arrangements to meet when I'm traveling, I've had the great pleasure of meeting something like 6 'Pitters IRL and talking by phone or Skype with at least 2 more. Also met some people who don't associate with the 'Pit, or not in an obvious way, including @whatdivawants, Hemant Mehta, & Richard Dawkins, & spoke by phone with Michael Nugent.

Not that all of them would remember me, or admit to having met if they did. :D

For some reason I am reminded of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

Not of course the Great Leap Forward, but certain elements form a background pattern that are nagging at me. I wonder if Anaris has any thoughts?

Perhaps I should narrow the scope to the behavior of the cadres. But I believe that Anaris has covered that in one fashion or another.

Anyway, it is at the back of my mind and it is troubling me. I sense I am missing a broad historical pattern. An old one.

She seems to thrive off negative attention, of which SJWs get a lot... which i think is the only reason she pretends to be one. That obviously hasn't been giving her the high she needs, so for the last few months she has been pulling ever more self destructive and obnoxious stunts.

This isn't somebody who is a bit simple who has been deluded in an echo chamber... she really does seem to have something seriously wrong with her. Losing her YouTube channel is the least of her problems and is probably for the best, she recently lost a long-time job over her antics.

I find her rather interesting because she reminds me of a masochist I used to know. Her bizarre appearance screams Histrionic Personality Disorder, yet she loves to get hatred.

How is Surly still making money from those things?

Almost 5,000 people have bought a sample of those fucking things, and one of them looks like this:

What in the actual fuck?

Evidently a lot of people are willing to dosh out 12 bucks for a cumstellation and a retarded rhino. Jesus wept.

It's getting to the point that it's just sad.
So, I guess we should just never again mention that Jenny M did it too. Because referring to it more than once would just be sad? How about we never refer to Stollznow's false accusation of sex crimes either? And let's never mention PZ's grenade, perhaps, because that would mean we're butthurt. Is that what you want?

Sorry Com, but you did the same thing as what Jenny did. My memory may be shitty for the most part, but I'm not going to forget the false pedo claim you made any time soon. I'm still like, holy fuck!
So you are still butthurt at me but you are just fine with Phil who started this with a joke.

Frankly you are just full of shit.

And as to your next point if you would allow steersman around children with the way he views the world, then you are also shitty person.

I agree, The SJW's do remind one of the mobs taking down the educated/ professional classes in order to rebuild society.

( from the kulaks in Russia, to the killing fields in Cambodia the old way of thinking must be swept away)

I love when they use Orwell quotes without realizing that they are the Orwellian bad guys in the story.

000000 is the hex colour code for black, and the pendant is black. Brilliant! Surly Amy truly is a genius.

On the other hand, I don't remember many of them dialing back that certainty when the Court later unanimously upheld a Muslim's religious freedom in Holt v. Hobbs, citing the same law as in the Hobby Lobby case (RFRA/RLUIPA, with its "compelling governmental interest" and "least restrictive means" standard).
To many of us, the key issue in Hobby Lobby was "closely-held corporation," with the bit about religion (in particular) being a side issue. That's one of the reasons it is nothing like Holt v. Hobbs.

I know that most of us are here because of atheism/secularism, but that doesn't make everything about religion.
I don't think I suggested otherwise.

There is your mistake. You are under the assumption that Jenny has any desire at all to argue in good faith or to make any strike at all against real sexual abuse of minors.

It's a wearable manifestation of virtue signalling. Also, I suspect even most SJW types are doing it for the same reasons you buy from the charmingly mislabeled lemonade stand or purchase inedible candy from the Special Olympics.
