Yes, Law is the nexus where Moral, Political, and Commercial interest all meet. Its going to be messy and complicated. But, it's common on tech boards to have a very loud minority of autistic-types claim that all these things can be so

Take a relatively grey-filled topic like: One person has caused the death of another. Now show me the simple law covering that? People claiming "the law can be simple" are exactly the same as luddites who claim "why cant you

A close friend of mine lived in Mexico for many years. I would visit him occasionally and spend the odd week or two with him. I got to know his home help. He being an American of generally liberal persuasion tried, as your family did, to tr

The obsession with "thin" has produced devices which are totally unnatural to type on. My old BB Classic was one of the best pure communication devices I've ever owned. I could write long multi-paragraph emails on that thing

I did sysadmin freelancing for a number of years. The keys for me were: 1. Find small to mid-sized companies who can't afford (don't need) a full-time SysAdmin, but could use one for say 2 hrs per day. 2. Be nice and attentive to

This will coincide with a spontaneous / grassroots effort on regular reddit users who will push for "ending the stupid tariffs against china". Also don't post Winnie-the-pooh images, its not cute...

Apple's case is slightly more complicated. From 1995-2004 I used Linux, from 2004-2018 I used Mac (whole ecosystem), from 2018 onwards I'm back to Linux. To be honest my reasons are: I really just think Tim Cook has little to no v

I find it odd timing that all of sudden, two paychecks into the government shutdown, suddenly multiple online news sites are being shuttered. Is it possible these sites were surviving on deep-state money?

I've been using Brave for a few months now and they have come a long way -- with many bumps along the road. When sync is finally released (its in beta now), I really think it will be a contender.

The only reasonable way of achieving those goals would be to allow totally anonymous submissions. Mail in a sample and simply have a code that you keep to check on results once they are processed. The fact that none of these services allow
