@scottalanmiller So why the hell did the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rule that the defendant wouldn't have to provide his password to get into his computer?
Explain that, rather than trying to drive off onto these tangents that are there to just distract from how wrong you are.

HIs whole argument here is that it's the public sector which is offering this benefit with "our" tax dollars. I think he's fine with private businesses doing this same matter because they aren't operating with a $20trillion and growing debt with no solution in sight
The alternatives are raising salaries a bunch for government roles (unpopular), or only historically rich, or the very stupid will end up working in government as the private sector absorbs everyone with debt who's smart. All of these options suck
Why are those the only options?
Why not just make people pay their bill, period?
If government continues to pay at LEAST 20% below the free market, we get rid of their pension systems (largely being done at the city and state level) and they can't offer things like loan forgiveness in what world do we not end up with the government full of the dumbest workers?
We already have one of the dumbest leaders of all time, and it's becoming more apparent that the government is already full of the dullest doorknobs the country has to offer.

@scottalanmiller said in Is Admitting That Someone's Suspicion of Guilt Is Correct Constitute Admission of Guilt:
Agreed, in general. My argument would be that there is a difference between a witness of a crime, and an admission to a crime. Heresay feels like a weird thing to claim against someone's admission of their own activities.
Maybe it's a bad word in this case. But imagine this discussion...
"I ate the sandwich."
"That's heresay"
"No sir, I literally put it in my mouth and ate it, no one told me about it."
Heresay as a word implies something that was heard, not the admission by the initial party.Defendant: "We all know I eat"
Officer: "He ate a sandwich on november 3rd, he said I know that he eats, so I can testify that this is what he ate, even though I didn't actually see him eating a sandwich on that date"
Court: "Umm..... no"No, it's like this.
Defendant: "I ate and the cop there on the stand knows what it was that I ate, his knowledge is accurate."
Officer under oath: "He had a ham and swiss."
Court: "Okay"No, not at all. He didn't say "anything the police say is on my computer is there"... you're wearing me out here. He made an ambiguous statement about what's there.
I'm not trying to wear you out. I'm just trying to point out that your claim to ambiguity hinges on that "we both know what is on there" does not mean anything, and I feel that telling the cop under a situation of extreme clarity as to why the cop is asking that he does indeed know what is on there is very clear.
There are points as to why I feel it is not ambiguous...
- Presumably he knows exactly why he's being arrested and asked for the password.
- He knows what is on there.
- He tells the cop that what they think is on there is what is on there under a condition where the seems to be no reasonable doubt as to what he meant.
Under other conditions where one of those points doesn't exist, I would agree that his statement would be ambiguous. But under what we believe to be the situation, to me it seems anything but. It's crystal clear that he knew, they knew, and he admitted to exactly that.
None of this matters Scott.
What matters is that a person cannot be compelled to self incriminate or provide evidence against their own case.
You're wrong, and you're picking and choosing what to respond to to attempt to make your argument sound valid, when in fact it's just plainly wrong.

No, the defense could claim he meant his Christmas list...
Defense can claim anything. It's what he actually said that matters, and what he said is that the cops know. So if the cops say, under oath, that it's child porn, then child porn it is.
Did he literally say that he had child pornography on there? I must have missed that part... They still have to prove that it's there.
I'm not sure I agree with that. I'm leaning toward Scott's side on this. Really it would be up to you on a jury to hear - the defendant said "We both know what’s on there. " What do you as a juror think he meant? Come on, put on your big boy pants and think about that... what do you really think he meant. it's a piece of evidence that the defendant provided - verbal evidence... so you as a juror can weight it however you want.
@Dashrender that doesn't matter.
Whether the defendant and cops know what's on the computer, doesn't mean that the defendant needs to provide access to the evidence of the crime. The police need to get the evidence, and they cannot force a defendant to provide the password to said evidence.
It needs to be provided willfully by the defendant and no coerced AKA compelled speech.

Screw the kids, Darwinism needs a leg up here.
RSV, is a cold doesn't really have any genetic lottery winners. It tends to strike pretty equally on them all before their immune systems develop and we find out how good their genes are. It's harmless to anyone with a developed immune system but when it hits a kid 10 days old its a different matter.
Okay, so have the private sector pick up this research, I don't see why researchers in the public sector need to do this, and get their loans forgiven.

So maybe I downloaded a mini iso or something, but cron isn't included by default and needs to be installed.
Can anyone confirm this or am I just blind?
Because you are supposed to use systemd timers.
Well I guess I'm going to have to look into that and see how those operate. Thanks for the quick reply.
@storageninja equating 401K investments to private loan debt forgiveness aren't the same.
You're investing that money (pre tax) from the job you are working today to retire.
It could completely tank and you could lose all of it. Or it could go great during your life and you could retire a millionaire.
Dealing with my FU of crontab -r . . . which if you didn't know just immediately erases your crontab file.
Not a huge ordeal, but still annoying as all.

Why would I volunteer myself for more work? My only requirement is to fulfill the audit requirements, not make more work and more spending for myself.
To get the insurance provider to stop forcing ridiculous half-baked policy statements on their customers.
Hell in NYS if you claim unemployment and collect an unemployment check, you're forced to pay income taxes on it.
We pay taxes to pay for unemployment benefits, and pay taxes on it if we need it.
Why should this benefit of giving away money not extend in that case then? Tax it, it's income. Period.
