Yes, when trying to stand by a conclusion. I'd say that empiricism takes the easy path of simply washing their hands of any hard truths. It doesn't make them wrong, it just makes them smallest possible subset of all truths (empty).

I wasn't trying to imply that an empiricist would assert anything to be wholly true. Again from the same wiki article:

Empiricism, often used by natural scientists, asserts that “knowledge is based on experience” and that “knowledge is tentative and probabilistic, subject to continued revision and falsification.”

Huh? A physical law is defined as a "... [conclusion] based on repeated scientific experiments and observations over many years and which have become accepted universally within the scientific community."[1] In other words -- something that has been shown not to vary.

Faith by definition a "belief that is not based on proof".[2]

So you're arguing against the validity of formal logic or the scientific method or that a reached consensus cannot be trusted?

EDIT: I think you're overestimating the certainty that an empiricist would have about future events.

Thanks!

Great, a new source for PTSD.

What would be more useful to me, is a global hotkey that hides notifications.

I was able to properly scan "Spray painted code" and "ripped by gap" with the RedLaser iPhone app.

Don't let the last one get you down.

In order to "seize" ownership of bitcoins, the FBI would need to gain access to his private bitcoin keys. Wouldn't it be possible to transfer all his bitcoin to a different address with a private key that's encrypted? Wouldn't such an action prevent a seizure?

EDIT: That's what appears to have happened.

Hopefully, it doesn't end up like TL;DR.

As a note to others using document.createElement to manipulate URLs. While it seems like a neat tool, it is buggy in IE in other ways[1]. I would advise using a cross-browser library (or writing your own):

It seems odd that they aren't leveraging an additional temperature reading. Some detectors have a heat alarm (not this one). So perhaps a firmware update will bring this. We'll have to wait for the ifixit teardown.

Also, does anyone know how successful WiFi jammers are at negating current systems like this?

From a developer standpoint, the dev tools in Chrome far exceed those in Firefox. The nightly releases are just starting to compare.

This is of course all Snowden's fault.

I missed take off by a few minutes. Is there a recording up yet?

I can't help but think that a future -- where those in power are not replaced -- is going to present huge negative effects for society.

It's my belief that we've dramatically slowed natural human evolution through the development of medical science, increased community populations, altruism, etc., for better or worse. I'm absolutely no social darwinist, but this has the potential to completely halt our evolution. Will the only option be genetic engineering (like this) and/or transhumanism?

They both IR LED + IR camera.

Perhaps one should practice all religions in hopes that an an eternal life is not nullified by the practice of another "wrong" religion.

I could also create a religion on the very basis of not contradicting any other religion, and would therefore, by your argument, the be only logical choice?

Would we assert that Pi contains Pi?

This is also quite different than mass public surveillance.

Real product labels?

It's not as big a deal anymore, but table-cell is not supported in IE6-7.

It's web development you're referring to.

The implication is that it's unconstitutional.

And a violation on such scale...

Wouldn't users navigating to .onion sites within TOR be free from a GPA (global passive adversary)?

Couldn't the TOR protocol model Perfect Dark?[1] Which uses a Mix Network.[2]

It's specifically targeting Firefox 17 for Windows. Versions less than 17 seem to be targeted as well, but the resource (content_1.html) doesn't seem to have ever been available. It does not target anything above 17.

Reminds me of "put a burger in your shell".

http://notes.torrez.org/2013/04/put-a-burger-in-your-shell.h...

Targets Firefox version 17 and lower. This is the version (17.0.7) that you're required to use for TOR on Windows.[1]

It would take a long time to walk through what's being done, and even that isn't likely to be helpful. There's a lot of Array, Int32Array, and ArrayBuffer allocation and retrieval. It's possible one of the larger strings is for injecting code into memory. It doesn't look at the guid stored in the cookie or the query param. If it is a memory injection, your guess is as good as mine.[2]

Just my sense for staring at this for an hour. I know JavaScript, but I'm not a security expert.

Someone stated it below, but "the legal contract [must] allow for the technical solutions". If the government makes security illegal... then what?

As much as we might not want to depend on the government, we're subject to policy.
