Because while the ARM processor is probably supported, most of the other sensors, camera, cell radios, etc have proprietary binary drivers that are not.

"Do you consider entertainment to have a real value for society?"

I thought we were talking about sports? Sports does not even have any entertainment value, it is a complete waste of time and resources

That is because the Vast majority of white/asian people are simple sheeple doing what their masters in government tell them to do, never rocking the boat, never expressing any opinions.

When government says Jump, they respond with "How high master" , the government says "Give me 50% of your labor" they say "Yes Master"

The vast majority of people, not even white/asian, just people, are useless sheep being lead complacently to slaughter

Sorry I did not reply sooner, I to not read HN everyday.

The Red Cross is very good about covering their tracks... but they do very little to actually help people. Any money you donate today will never make it to people in need. Most of the "help" the red cross is/will be credited for is provided by the US Government via federal programs (FEMA, Local Aid, etc), military aid, Or Local VOLUNTEERS not from the Donations of Citizens.

Most of the money will be used to pay for more marketing for the Red Cross, and to pay their Executives High Dollar Salaries.

Here is a 20/20 Story http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123956

However, to be honest the Red Cross is VERY good about keeping their name out of papers. Paying just enough to people to make most complaints seem like "conspiracy theories"

If you want to waste your money, go head.. But Giving to the Red Cross will help people about as much you burning it in your fire place

And do not get me started on the Massive Scam that is their Blood Selling business, where you are legally prohibited from "selling" your blood so they take it for free, then flip it for a massive profit by selling it to the hospitals for those in "need", or in reality for cosmetic and elective non-emergency surgery which is where most of the blood supply is used.

   Ordinary people don't live in the kind of circumstances where 
    they might wander into a felony conviction

Ohh I think you should be shocked at the number of felonies a person could commit on the course of everyday life. Felony is not just used for serious crimes. Almost every state have what are referred to a "catch all" felonies that can be brought against just about any one at any time if you piss off the right person in power.

dont fool yourself into think the legal system is anything other than a tool for oppression and control

They are not, no where in the constitution is that stated.

To Quote Jefferson: "to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."

No part of the Constitution expressly authorizes judicial review, nor does the constitution need "interpreted" it was written in plain language and the words are very clear

Lawyers and Judges have supplanted their desires for expediency instead of going to correct and harder path of amendment.

Take for example the 18th amendments, in order for the federal government to ban alcohol a constitutional amendment was required because the government lack the constitutional power to regulate any substance, fast forward about 40 years, and all of the sudden the constitution has been "interpreted" to allow the government to ban any substance it wants at any time it so desires.

No no, the constitution does not interpretation, it needs protection, it needs to be upheld, it needs a court that will defend it, not "interpret" it like it was some dead language that only those chosen few can possibly understand

Actually the Constitution guarantees total and absolute freedom of speech, including the right to yell FIRE in a crowded theater

Every court ruling to the contrary is activism in the face of the plain language of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court has proven time and time again to be terrible protectors and stewards of the constitution

  libertarians justify slavery or indentured servitude

libertarians first and foremost believe in non-aggression, voluntary trade. so slavery, in so far as it was forced upon someone via violence or the threat of violence would not be justified.

  If you are coming from the point of view that there is no problem with sweatshops and things don't need to change

None of the video's I linked to, nor it is my position that things do not need to change, your emotional response is the problem, you lack the ability to react with logic, to understand how the world actually works, instead you lash out with emotion about how the world "should" work in your opinion

  How long have China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia had sweatshops?

They are in reality, why do you think in recent year companies have been flocking back to the US, telecom and tech industries are the most widely known, but many business are coming back. It is the increased in wages in those nations brought about by economic development via sweatshops coupled with the reducing wages in the US brought about by the failed economic policies of the US government

All companies, in every nation, pay the minimum they can get away with. In nations with no social structure, very little wealth, and no jobs the choice is not government hand out vs minimum wage, but a very low paying job or starvation. It would appear you would rather these children starve then to allow them to work for enough money to feed themsleves, possibly working up and out of poverty over generations.

America did not just magically start out as a wealthy nation, for generations children labored on family farms, in business, and even in sweatshops. Generations ago a person had to work form dawn to dusk just to feed themselves, Today in America "poverty" is not having and iPhone or Broadband internet.

The idea that we can magically transform these 3rd world nation into 1st world nations is naive at best, The same path America took, is the same path these nations must take. Over time wages will increase, conditions will improve, etc, this is a natural order of things. The good news is, this will happen MUCH MUST faster than it did in America.

US Constitution, Federalist Papers, 100's of years of case law, the very concept of innocent until proven guilty, all that supports the notation that the burdens are placed upon the GOVERNMENT not the people.

THe laws allowing for Pen Trap's are very clear that the pen trap must not cause undue hardship on the business in question, and there are simliar limits on all of the powers of government

The idea that the government has, or should have, unlimited power to destroy businesses and individuals in the pursuit of "justice" is not only ridiculous but very dangerous

Why should I blame the site creator?

I do not believe the USG has the right to the SSL keys, period

But it is clear you believe that the USG should have unlimited power with free reign to do whatever it wants.

Then do you believe that power extends to forcing a business or indivual to commit fraud? Lavabit had an agreement with both its customers and its business partner GoDaddy to NOT reveal the SSL Keys to a 3rd party, the second it was forced to do so, it had an obligation to disclose those keys were compromised, failure to do so is fraud.

Do you believe the USG should or does have the power to force people to commit said fraud

Further on the "tough luck" point, that is not how our legal system is suppose to work, the government infact does not get access to any information even if they have a reasonable suspicion it is being "sheltered", there are all kinds of limits that are suppose to exist, and the "tough luck" part is suppose to be the burden of the GOVERNMENT not the people,

You really do not understand what is going on here.

Hushmail would have the exact same problem, Hushmail is not all that different from Lavabit.

When you load a message from your hushmail encrypted inbox it is DECRYPTED on the server side using the password you provided at login, then the HTML representing the email contained in your inbox it is then ENCRYPTED by the web server using SSL and Signed Certificate that is recognized by a web browser, in Hushmails case that CA is thawte, in LB case the CA was GoDaddy and sent to you.

ALL HUSHMAIL USERS share the same SSL Encryption from the Hushmail server to their Browser, this is how the web works. There is no changing at least not by a single company.

The only way around that would be to not use HTTP, or web browsers. But then you could create an entire new messaging system like BitMessage, but LavaBit was attempting to give people private EMAIL, not create a new messaging protocol

How is it the Fault of Lavabit?

SSL is a standard secure communication protocol of the internet, it is not lavabits design and it is impossible for Lavabit to modify while still keep interoperability.

You do not seem understand the underlying problem, as many people are misinformed as to which key the government was requesting., They WERE NOT asking for the key of the private inbox data, they were asking for the GoDaddy Signed SSL key that encrypts the web browser session from the Lavabit User to the Lavabit server, not the user level key for the encrypted mail box stored on LB servers

This is the same protocol that HN uses for this very site, Amazon, Gmail, and thousands of other sites use every day to secure communications between public servers and the users of those servers

That is a poor analogy.

By turning over the SSL Key the FBI using the Pen Trap Device would capture in real time all data of all users and be decrypting it in real time.

Turning over a Master Key to a building would not give the FBI instant access to all apartments simultaneously, nor would they have the ability to go back in time to look at previous data, nor thousands of other problems with this analogy

People are attempting to conflate physical keys with encryption keys simply because years ago the mathematicians used the word "keys" as analog to explain things to the general public. This does not mean there is, in reality, any analogous relationship between encryption keys and physical keys

The email encryption was not in play here, from what I understand the end user was the only person with the key to the email "inbox" encryption

What is in play here was the SSL Key that is used to encrypt the browser traffic between LB and the user. No differant than the SSL Cert used when you make an online purchase

It technologically impossible/impractical to have a separate SSL cert for each user, that is just not how the HTTPS protocall was designed

This is not Lavabits doing, that is the work of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

I believe it is very telling that a pro-privacy company, a company that has integrity and wants to honor the commitments it has made to their customers, is now a "anti-government" company...

I see a lot of comments about how "good" this analysis is, to me it seems very weak, and only "good" if you believe the government should be allowed to violate the 4th amendment, should be allowed to obtain any information from anyone at any time, and should be allowed to get SSL Keys from service providers, without disclosing this to the Certificate Authorities and violation of all security agreements with said CA's.

If you're very much a "pro" government person then I can see how this "analysis" would meet with your approval. To me it looks like pro-government biased drivel
