There are some real issues with ACA that you don't see unless you're affected by one of the provisions that starts funneling all of the costs for the legislative generosity your way. For example, one of my good friends is a lawyer

Here is the absolute truth: The human race is a brutal and tribal species. The capacity to do horrible things in the name of our own survival, rage, hatred, jealousy, and fear means that no society ever created by men can escape war. It&#x

I'm not going to defend war crimes. What I'm going to say is that war is the worst possible display of inhumanity you're ever likely to imagine in your darkest nightmares. I have several friends who have all served in elite m

Only one I could find quickly. Also, don't mistake statutory law for case law. There may be relevant case law that significantly expands the concepts contained in a statute.

By my understanding, ANY person who in the course of their work encounters child pornography MUST report it to the NCMEC. IN the past, I know that film developers were obliged to report child pornography to the police and I'm assuming

Something I'm sure is missing from this discussion is that there is a specific legal duty to report anything that constitutes child pornography to the authorities. The NCMEC is the clearinghouse for this sort of information and my form

Exactly. They found a way to get around the problem of paying market wages by changing the market.

This is something that I've long suspected was going on with the H1B system. In essence, we have a limited "guest worker" program that allocates most of the economic benefits to the company (in terms of a compliant workforce

To admit any weakness in terms of mental hygiene is taboo. Even today. It's forever an invitation for others to question your actions/moods/beliefs as somehow entirely subject to past injury or affliction. We link personali

At the risk of becoming a target for abuse, one of the big breakthroughs I had in therapy was connecting with a therapist who was able to use attachment theory to help me understand my feelings and emotions in the context of romantic relati

At some point, you need to look towards things like cost, reliability, and speed. I'm with you on security vulnerabilities and marketing but I'm also pragmatic. Few of the companies we deal and support financially have perfect re

What I see at play here is a radical difference in philosophies. For the record, I don't think any country or society owes you anything. If you want something, you should be prepared to work for it. That includes a goal like "co

I recommend PIA as a VPN for regular users. It's all about threat model. If I'm trying to get past a hotel firewall, an ISP deep-packet inspection system, or a coffeeshop blocking my traffic or snooping on it for profiling purpos

Nope. They can certainly open the safe. They just can't compel you to TESTIFY to something. The contents of your mind are sacrosanct. If they can compel you to divulge a combination, then they can also discern that you had access to

That's a remarkably bigoted thing to say. Some of the most remarkable people I've ever met have served in the military. Far from being "suckers" they are people who felt a deep desire to serve the country in some capaci

The way the law works here in the USA is that anything that requires you to disclose the contents of your mind (a passphrase, an explanation of where you were, your name) cannot be compelled because the fifth amendment precludes the use of

That was my thinking as well. I do INFOSEC for a living and needed to make sure I wasn't bringing back any compromised devices when I returned. So far, the two phones have remained powered down while I come up with a plan to examine t

Hey duked. I just returned from Hong Kong (on vacation) and used two BLU Advance 5.0 phones as burners for use while in-country. I take precautions whenever I travel overseas. I've got two phones here that were used during my trip th

I'd be really surprised if either of the next administrations allows this kind of amalgamation to happen under antitrust rules.

Ummm...no. Certain systems do indeed operate as you say, with INS as the primary guidance/navigation mechanism. Submarines for instance, cannot rely on a GPS fix. Strategic missiles as well. But ground forces do indeed use GPS systems.

I had the great pleasure of drinking with CJ Ramone on the day that my divorce was final. We closed down the bar IIRC. Great guy. Fun to talk to.

That 2% is what you'd get charged by ANYONE with the skill and operations to manage that level of money.

Please cite a hedge fund that doesn't charge performance allocations. And those funds that LOSE money for their investors also don't MAKE money for their fund managers.

You completely misunderstand how this works. They only make $1 billion if the fund makes $5 billion that year. So they aren't taking anything from the fund. They are investing the money wisely, growing it, and sharing in the gains.

Keep in mind that the 2% is there to cover the expenses of the firm and its trading costs. The 20% is the real incentive for the fund managers. Also keep in mind that they only get that if they earn more for the investors than the "hu

If you don't think investing billions of dollars skillfully such that you don't lose any of it and earn a risk-adjusted return that's better than your peers is valuable then maybe you should try it sometimes. These guys manag

Not every person's struggle is the same and comparing two people who are struggling just misses the point entirely. That lady who is stuck in Section 8 housing with a newborn you just mentioned? She's WAY better than the DRUG-ADD
