The football huddle was first used at a college for the deaf in the 1890s so the players could keep their signing hidden from the opposing teams.

How Your Private Emails Can Be Used Against You in Court

Who has copies of your emails? You do, of course, as do all the people you sent them to. But so does Google or Yahoo or whichever cloud email service you use. And emails are just the beginning: more and more of our communications and transactions are happening online and stored by someone for some amount of time.

In this new world, the rules that govern grand jury subpoenas may have troubling implications, argues Joshua Gruenspecht, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Democracy and Technology, in the spring issue of the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology.

Grand jury subpoenas are used to collect evidence. Unlike warrants, subpoenas can be issued with less than probable cause. The reasoning for the lower bar is in part that if someone does not want to turn over the requested evidence, he or she can contest the subpoena in court. Grand juries can subpoena not only the person who created a document but any third parties who might be in possession of that document. Under the Stored Communications Act, a grand jury can subpoena certain types of data from third parties whose only role is storing that data.

no one in ‘56 had any appreciable knowledge we’d have computers in our pockets.... until maybe a decade later when Star Trek first aired “The Man Trap”

How else would you type it if it’s not visible to you?   This is like saying, “A majority of people pull all the way out of a parking spot when they can’t parallel park just right”

The world in 2022

Food must be good as hell to sit in water just to eat

they are already living in 3018

[vc-aesthetic]

It’s nauseating how blissfully ignorant people are. 

This is not a typical rainy day in Venice.

All over Italy people are facing record breaking storms and floods, a lot of people have gone missing, more than 20 are reported to be dead. The death toll is rising. People are trapped in their homes and attics, there is no way for ambulance or food transport.Important historic sites have been damaged beyond repair, lost to humanity forever. The thing is, this is NOT TYPICAL AT ALL. Italians are used to earthquakes, not floods. These storms have been going on for days, same in Croatia and other mediterranean countries. Germany has had a record breaking drought this summer, everything is getting more expensive because the waterways aren’t carrying enough water for gasoline to be transported, meanwhile Italy is drowning, not just Venice, but also Rome, Florence, do I have to go on?

It just makes me sick when people like @nfwmbh are commenting that this is the world in 3018, it’s the PRESENT, it’s NOW. People are dying and losing their homes, humanity is losing important parts of culture. 

Please don’t be ignorant and inform yourselves before reblogging. This is not the truth, to say it’s a typical rainy day in Venice is a heavy lie.

[austinvegas]

It may not be typical but with climate change disrupting ecosystems, it could be the start of the norm.... hope all are safe and accounted for.

Loved Venice and hope to be back again...
