Even If Terrorists Do Use Strong Encryption, We Still Need It — Backchannel — Medium
Meanwhile, I keep waiting for a presidential candidate to say words to this effect: “Yes, there will be more attacks, even here in America, because we can’t protect everyone and every place while also protecting liberty. But our strength is in that liberty and our resilience, not our collective paranoia. Our Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, is an agreement that we will take some risks in order to have liberty. That’s the trade our founders made, and which we honor.”

The GOP Debate Was Full of Crazy Ideas About Technology | WIRED
One thing is clear: with the exception of, perhaps, Cruz and Senator Rand Paul, the Republican candidates seem far more interested in restoring the country’s surveillance capabilities than they are in protecting Americans’ privacy. So while this may have been the first tech-centric debate, we highly doubtit will be the last. Let’s hope they do a little more homework in the meantime.

How to Lose Ten Pounds in Thirty Days
The Journal of Consumer Research ran a number of studies on this difference in terminology. One of the studies split participants into three groups:
- Group 1 was told that anytime they felt tempted to lapse on their goals, they should "just say no." This group was the control group, because they were given no specific strategy.
- Group 2 was told that anytime they felt tempted to lapse on their goals, they should implement the "can't" strategy. For example, "I can't miss my workout today."
- Group 3 was told that anytime they felt tempted to lapse on their goals, they should implement the "don't" strategy. For example, "I don't miss workouts."
The results?
- Group 1 (the "just say no" group) had 3 out of 10 members stick with their goals for the entire 10 days.
- Group 2 (the "can't" group) had 1 out of 10 members stick with her goal for the entire 10 days.
- Group 3 (the "don't" group) had an incredible 8 out of 10 members stick with their goals for the entire 10 days.

Exploding Unicorn: When Little Girls Rule the World
Exploding Unicorn: When Little Girls Rule the World
Disney went in the completely opposite direction with its next princess movie. In Frozen, Disney gave Elsa a crown and a superpower, and it instantly became one of the highest grossing films of all time. Think about it. Elsa can plunge the world into winter, a climate condition usually caused by the angle at which solar radiation hits the earth. That means in practical terms Elsa is more powerful than the sun, and little girls love her for it. She’s not even the main character. Frozen was originally titled Anna and the Snow Queen. It’s really the story of the queen’s little sister, who has no magical powers or chance at the throne, rekindling her relationship with Elsa. But when little girls play make believe, no one wants to be Anna. That’s like being Robin because Batman was already taken. My daughters and millions of their peers idolize Elsa because she has absolute political power and the very laws of nature bend to her every whim. Little girls scare me.

Hobby Lobby Comes Home to Roost as States Consider "Religious Freedom" Legislation | Elliot Mincberg
Hobby Lobby Comes Home to Roost as States Consider "Religious Freedom" Legislation | Elliot Mincberg
Even better, rhetoric directed at outsiders could be cloaked in general language about protecting religious freedom, not attacking LGBT rights. Supporters could even invoke Democratic supporters of RFRA like President Clinton and claim that neither RFRA nor its state counterparts had been interpreted to allow discrimination, as Indiana Gov. Pence has tried to do. These claims ignore the fact that it wasn't until last year that the Supreme Court effectively rewrote the language in RFRA so that it was transformed from a shield for religious liberty into a sword against anti-discrimination protections. And previous supporters like President Clinton have made clear their opposition to this year's state RFRA proposals.
