I'm with you 100%. That said when I read something like this and get angry about it I really don't know what I can practically do about it. I have disposable income but I'm not the type to feel righteous and self-assured because I dropped a couple hundred dollar donation on a criminal justice reform NGO.
As far as actions to take, what immediately comes to my mind are ideas that involve becoming a federal felon for violation of the computer fraud and abuse act.
Does anyone have any concrete ideas on what to do as a technical, moderately affluent person when you come across such insidious bullshit?
- exikyut 5y agoThe other day I found an interesting webpage linked from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28232716 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28232716 that outlines the practical accessibility of hiring researchers for things. There are a lot of possibilities here: a domain expert could autonomously take the subject further, or they could provide targeted insights that factor in your strengths/areas of expertise, or they could even work with the original reporters (who likely have private access to a tonne more info, and might be willing to follow up with it further if independent funding is possible, etc). (The thread the above comment is from was also very interesting too.)
