If you're a cop, you can even get a plea deal after your felony conviction. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officer-used-excessive-force-allowed-plead-guilty-misdemeanor-felony-c-rcna211380

Are we not on such a platform right now?

Why do you say that?

Same thing. Your lockscreen password/pattern/whatever is also the user partition decryption key. This is why BFU/AFU is a thing. After a reboot, the first unlock decrypts the partition. The key is stored in RAM. The only way to reset this is to reboot.

$50k of compute power, which may seem like a lot

To an individual. For a business, that's a quarterly spend. For the government, it doesn't even come up in budget reviews.

"You look like someone we're looking for" will get them pretty far in the courts. They don't have to tell you who that person is, but by the time you sue and you're going through the court process, they'll find someone on their list who looks like you so that they can say "oh yeah it was this guy we were looking for, we promise" and the case gets dismissed.

Right. Like you might walk by someone with a cold, and inhale a small number of their virus particles. But your immune system can handle that. If you spend a lot of time with them face-to-face, the virus gets a foothold (because of inhaling more viruses, this part isn't a perfect metaphor) and starts multiplying, it can overwhelm the first line of defense and become an infection.

More available if you go looking.

Including such recognizable names as Aldi, State Farm, Deloitte, Ingram Micro, and Ikea.

Not really, no. It's only really cancer once the cells multiply uncontrollably. Yes, sometimes cells don't properly perform apoptosis, but there are other mechanisms that will target and kill those precancerous cells. Only once those other mechanisms fail does it become true cancer.

Besides, even if this test did come back positive, they'd still have to identify a tumor and monitor. If you have a teeny-tiny benign tumor that isn't hurting anything, the best course of action is to just leave it alone and monitor. Any surgical procedure risks spillage, which is basically human-induced metastasis.

It means they can rip the encrypted data off the phone, then take it over to a system with a bunch of GPUs and brute-force the password.

Was Iran actually producing nuclear weapons?

No mention of why.

Meh. If they get pulled in and actually commit, Israel would be wiped off the map.

I don't think they'd actually be able to do that though. Israel still has enough support from around the world. Maybe a lot of precision strikes to destroy their defensive positions, then let the bordering countries take back their land.

Me when coming back to a system without NetworkManager

There are free tiers for some cloud providers, like Oracle (though personally I recommend against using anything Oracle ever).

That's a great way to give then grounds to actually arrest you. Or maybe just crash your car and kill you.

And if they do, say it's fake, confiscate it and arrest them anyway.

Yeah in English we call most of them gas stations. We don't really have many CNG stations in the US, but where we do they're usually attached to a gas station.
