I mean, if you want to get arrested and charged with a crime, by all means, record private conversations in your own home. Talking about “natural law” isn’t going to be a very good defense when the case law is not on your side.

I have to believe that the Clinton v. Jones set a precedent similar to what would be used for criminal cases. The President should only be protected from criminal prosecution if it would interfere with his ability to act as President. A very favorable interpretation of that might be that they cannot indict the…

I don’t think that is how the courts would go. They would probably hold criminal charges against the President through a similar lens as civil lawsuits in the Jones case.

In terms of the probability of dying as President, it’s huge. Warren would have a life expectancy of 15 years in 2021. Sanders would have a life expectancy of 8 years. Basically, he would have about a 50% chance of dying while in office.

That’s not how your right to privacy is determined under the law in the United States. There is no “natural justice”. US law is based primarily on British common law and more specifically on statutes and court precedents. In California, the law makes it illegal to audio-record private conversations without the consent…

Amazon is fine, but you have to look for products that are from trusted manufacturers that are sold by Amazon or the manufacturer. There is a not of garbage and counterfeits on there.

What legal precedent are you basing that on? Generally speaking, someone’s reasonable expectation of privacy would be judged by the courts on a case-by-case basis based on a number of different elements, and you cannot make blanket statements such as, “you have no expectation of privacy in another person’s home.”

That sounds like a violation of wiretap laws. My state is a two-party consent state, which means the person you are talking to needs to consent to be audio-recorded. Even in one-party consent states, what you did is possibly a crime since you were not a party to the conversation.

I do not believe that is true. The law has a concept called mens rea, or guilty mind. State wiretap law is not usually a strict liability crime and it certainly is not where I live (California). In order to violate the law, you would have to intentionally audio-record someone in a place where they had an expectation…

I’m not sure why storing it in your Dropbox account would be any less secure than storing it on your own device (which can be lost, stolen, or “borrowed”). Dropbox at least supports 2FA.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a desktop board for a high end Intel CPU with soldered-on RAM. You do see it on notebook boards or some custom micro-desktop boards (like Mac Minis).

More likely an 8GB stick and a 4GB stick. Those type of CPUs (800 series i7s) were the best tier you could get before getting into the server/enthusiast tier (the 900 series which supported triple channel ram, so 12 GB would be a normal 3x4GB setup). As such, they lacked onboard graphics.

Unfortunately, an i7 860 wasn’t a super-fast processor for the day and it is going to really hold you back now given that it is a decade old.

I mean, it would make a measurable difference in tire deflation. Whether you notice it or not, I’m not sure.

Your tire doesn’t care what’s inside it; ambient air is fine, but CO2 works just as well.

Apparently all he understands about China is how much money they provide him. 

That’s some nice whataboutism. The fact that I, as an American, live in a country where I realize that there are inequities in our justice system that I am not happy about does not diminish my right to speak out about the gross human rights abuses in China.

I would imagine that the district would be worried about being sued on first amendment grounds. This is the sort of thing that schools should be able to discipline students for, but only if it takes place on school property or at school events.

Let’s be honest, how many people have actually read the fourth amendment? As far as most Americans know, it says that the President can basically do whatever he wants.
