    If your customers get hurt the same way, over and over, every factor repeating, when salvation is seemingly free, maybe they are not the problem. Maybe your vision for the actual solution is too small.

    As I just said on air the committees in Congress shld be taking names & statements under oath from the border meeting: it’s against the public corruption laws to offer a thing of value (ie pardon) to influence an official act or induce an act in violation of official duty

    This 👇is a big deal. Will be joining shortly after 8 ET to discuss

    I have seen no evidence that most of them are operating on any kind of time horizon past the next election.

    Republican Senators may never vote to convict. But you know what Republican Senators REALLY don’t want to do? Vote to acquit Trump on obviously impeachable offenses. That vote will follow them forever.

    security researchers: i live in a cabin off the grid

    Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart. Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.

    Oh darn, Avenatti's tweets are now protected, so there are only 800k accounts to witness when he tweets out even more stupid things which might send him to jail early.

    Technology can be built and used with respect.

    It's kind of unbelievable and amazing that a little internet connected camera empowered us and made us feel closer together during the worst of our times together. Surveillance isn't always bad. Technology can have a positive impact. You just have to use them the right way.

    The last voicemail I have from my Grandma before her voice grew weak is a message thanking me for helping, and telling me that she felt better knowing that I was watching and that I was looking out for her. Surveillance is not always a bad thing. It can reduce harm.

    I think people are VASTLY misunderstanding the purpose of a March 6, 2018 indictment against Assange. It is: 1) Get in before SOL tolls 2) Get a doc alleging unclassified acts to start extradition while Assange is in custody Nothing more.

    Does anyone have a collection of all of them? For the lawyers, would this be considered extortion, the "thing of value" being "don't lock my poop-smearing ass in jail"?

    An interesting question: Wikileaks has done multiple "insurance policy" files. The name alone implies a threat: "you do stuff to us and we can release secrets unfettered". On the Manning cables they screwed up and released the password, but there are others...

    Given how hard fought the UK extradition will be, the feds are probably going to need to show more soon. But no matter what, it will be years before Assange sees the inside of a US courtroom. My personal bet is at least 3.
