Quite frankly it didn't put enough restrictions on the various "national security" agencies, and so while it may help to stem the tide of irresponsible usage by many of the lesser-impact agencies, it doesn't do the same for the agencies that we know will be the worst offenders (and have been the worst offenders).

He did something: add national security loopholes

The worst possible offenders aren't really being reined in by this executive order.

"next issue to tackle"

It's been the next issue to tackle since at least October 26th, 2001. They have no accountability. Adding these carve outs is just making it harder to get accountability.

If the entertainment industry was a car, Netflix is a truck that keeps backing up and repeatedly t-boning the door of quality.

It made more than a dent.

I would hope after Pence's life was threatened that he'd continue to do the opposite of what Trump wants him to do.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But even when I do I'm still working, just on my own computer doing totally unrelated stuff.

I actually work harder (in general) than before because now I don't have to commute, 1-2 hours more a day I can spend getting stuff done

Wait what? Is it just because it's a tycoon game?

I dropped my sub. Was paying roughly $7.50/mo for 2 years for the legacy bundle and they nearly tripled it to $18.99/mo.

Of all my streaming services, I literally do not watch ESPN, and barely use Hulu and Disney. I could justify $7.50 by stretching the definition of justification, but $18.99 is more than I pay for streaming services I use regularly.

Now that I know it's a tiled pattern my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Honestly the popular support from the people who can't point to Israel on a map is religious.

The governmental support definitely is not based on religion. The US makes semiconductor tech there and Israel is one giant front-line fortress for us. Israel is the Middle Eastern outpost analog to all of the East Asian allies who are littered with US military bases.

A more granular view of your actual traffic/usage habits.

Let's say a page you visit embeds a Tweet, you'll end up firing off a DNS request for twitter.com, and at least one request to load data from Twitter.

Now let's say you actually use Twitter. The DNS request will be the same, and you will have many requests to Twitter to load data.

In both situations a DNS request is sent off, so the DNS provider knows you probably loaded something but they are going to have a harder time understanding if you are a Twitter user or if you are just frequenting a website with Twitter embeds. However the network provider that can see to what servers the HTTPS request for data are going will see just how often you are actually connecting to Twitter and the size of the transferred data and can build an incomplete but still far more detailed picture of your habits, and they would be able to tell the difference between an only-embed viewer and a regular Twitter user.

Additional dystopian future possibility:

Also, for anyone with objectively nefarious future goals, even if the data is encrypted, if one day we are indeed able to break encryption en masse the DNS provider can't decrypt data they don't have but the network provider definitely could.

I mean this only routes a small amount to their servers, the actual data to use a website isn't sent to 8.8.8.8.

I've never worked help desk, but to me you look good, not goofy or sleazy at all.

And ordinarily since your clothes are essentially a perfect fit for the role I wouldn't even give it a second thought, but since you are here asking I'm going to try to offer some additional thoughts:

From my personal perspective (since I don't know who really pays attention to what level of detail) I'd just recommend to make sure

• everything is well tucked in
• shirt and pants neat and straightened to remove as many bunched up/wrinkle spots as possible

The shirt, pants, and belt are all totally fine if not good. No complaints from me on your choice of apparel.

Software engineer here to say I show up to an interview in similar attire (I ask the recruiter what the expected attire is so I may dress slightly more or less formal depending on that), but after that I'm thankful there's no dress code because I dress in a T-shirt and gym shorts basically all day every day barring weather concerns.

I never would have thought to call his outfit sleazy or even bad.

I was totally not surprised Menendez committed more crimes.

I was surprised he was still a senator though. I was hoping he had already been removed.

No less than half of Congress are flagrant liars and many of them are also cheats...

I imagine that he stole too much from the wrong person, as he apparently charged $12,000 to "Contributor"'s card once if I understood the article correctly, and the wording suggests a single transaction. That size of transaction doesn't go unnoticed.

If he had stuck to Congressional insider trading he wouldn't have even received an indictment.

Because the Police and Politicians are the boots and suits of the uber rich.

I applaud you for actually saying something to a statement like that. I'd probably just mentally stall out trying to find words after that kind of comment.

Based on the evidence so far, until they prove otherwise the coin has the same face printed on all sides including the edge.
