What alarms me is how important privacy has suddenly become, despite a distinct lack of actualization on the "nightmare" scenarios we keep hearing.

Two things about this: 1. What does that say about the companies that are allowed to remain? 2. What are the parallels to this and what the US does to its technology companies? I've never heard of a company being "kicked out&qu

Someone should figure out the exact mix of coffee that's the least-bad for you and sell it. "Least worst coffee".

That's something I think people forget; the vast majority of folks don't have some kind of split personality disorder, and their behavior online is the same behavior they exhibit in real life, except perhaps toned up a bit.

Light is light except when you have multiple sources of light, some white and some blue, due to backlight leakage that happens to varying degrees in every LCD screen. Do you know how much white light would negate the blue light in your brai

That's not how science works, friend.

Currently? Yes. If this case gets decided such that non-criminal assets can be frozen? No. I'm explaining that law firms won't simply cease to exist if this case gets decided a certain way, which is what folks here seem to be i

I'm not asking lawyers to do anything, I'm saying law firms who do criminal defense will not simply cease existing if this happens, which is what you're implying.

You're entirely incorrect. They're the one making an assertion, I'm simply asking them to back it up, not "criticizing" it. Your comment is pretty terrible, from a quality standpoint, not something I'd expect

I give a shit, because if I'm going to use it, I want to know if it's going to do anything. Why suffer through the filtering it does to my monitor if it doesn't matter?

I am going to need more than "I would think that" if I'm going to believe this, and considering how backlight leakage allows extra white light to emit from your screen, I'd consider that an important enough extra variabl

It's not unsure (like I said, assets unrelated to the crime can't ultimately be kept), and what else are they going to do? You can't seriously suggest all criminal defense attorneys are just going to give up on their profess

I still haven't seen any evidence to suggest LCDs perform in a comparable manner to the light source in all those studies they cite. Where are the studies testing F.lux directly? This is ripe for all of the best biases to take over,

Can't you just pay your defense attorney after the trial, guilty or not, whenever your assets are unfrozen? Assets frozen during trial that aren't linked to any criminal activity can't be permanently confiscated, so your defe

That's most likely because you only hear about the extraordinary. The ordinary cases are just that, ordinary, and justice gets served with little fuss.

Yep. Process is compensation for lack of talent, which may sound cruel or arrogant but it's not. If you're great, you can self direct, design, and implement what needs to happen in your project with no help or management at all.

You only hear about the people struggling with agile because the people not struggling are busy working on stuff.

It's hard to maintain or add new features if good design/development practices aren't followed. You sound like my managers.

Jira is a super flexible tool. Sounds like all the developers you know hate how their bosses use tools. I happen to love how my team uses Jira.

Not a huge fan of Confluence (just give me Markup, dammit), but Jira is simply the best at what it does.

You're conducting this conversation in a manner I find to be vocalizing the precise feelings I've had about CISA and CISPA, and especially, EFF.

If this law isn't enacted, then it will continue to be illegal for Company A to share breach details with the government, or with each other. Is this necessary to slow down the rate and severity of breaches? If so, what should this la

There's no value in a tag if it doesn't mean anything, and if membership on a watchlist is merely another way of saying "this person played a video game once", then analysts are going to discount membership to the watchl

I'm actually asserting there is no substance, just emotional rhetoric. I was further implying the conclusions weren't drawn with sound logic, so their validity is under question.

Experiencing emotions is a completely unavoidable part of existing, but reacting to your emotions is the behavior of a child.

And I think your comments are the defensive result of an emotional reaction to your helplessness in the face of an overpowering perceived adversary. When you create an us/them narrative, you might not be the only one who plays into it,
