   I’ve been on the internet since before Al Gore invented it. I’ve seen more crappy stuff from lawyers all the time. Remember, in the US, you do not need a reason to sue someone. A friend just got sued by a guy who tried to by his house for

   Personally, I don’t think it matters what amount the fine is. Fundamentally, short of putting all your employees in a Faraday cage, it is not possible to prevent this activity. I think it can be reduced, and good software can help, but stam

   This is simple - don’t text clients (Zoe anyone if you want to do it right) about either a security, company information, or client information. If your friend texts you about AAPL, then you email him back or call him. The rule is pretty c

    True, but so far they are either better curated or just have less spam. B&H is my favorite as I believe it has only them as a seller.

    So let’s game this, shall we? Put up solar panels. Have them charge a battery. Have a wind turbine which charges another battery. Have the first battery charge the second. Now you’ve comingled the energy and can claim it’s wind power. I’m

    I wonder how this will look 4 years after the government makes a decision on Section 230 regulation. (Or even today vs 4 years ago). Would the conclusion be the same?

    Yes, I believe we needed Rust. Backward compatibility is valuable, but so is letting go of old habits. With C++ and Rust, we can have our cake and eat it too. Plus, arguments about which language is better! ;)

    > local news will always... "local news" and "local news media " are not the same. I may pay attention to local news through google, facebook, etc, but never read the local paper or watch local TV news.

    Now would be a great time to sell a ton of mints that just happens to fit an iPhone max with a case inside. “Security Mints - sweet & secure”. Maybe a kickstarter?
