I'll give you (1), but that's on the DNC, not the Clinton campaign. (2) and (3) seems pretty tough unlikely to be substantiated by the evidence I've seen. Hackers released dirt on only one side -- a clear attempt to influence

Paid for it gladly! Would pay again for Sublime 3. $70 is not much at all compared to what I've been paid for the work I do using it!

Sublime license follows you around, so new employers don't need to purchase new ones.

I thought this at first, too, but giving the author the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they meant that if someone deletes their account, you should actually delete their account, not just disable it. I haven't seen anyone do this, but a

Another explanation for these numbers is that prosecutors are also resource-bound and risk-averse and prefer to go after cases they are almost certain to win. There are, of course, exceptions of all kinds, e.g. https://en.wikiped

First off, this already happens: every major corporation uses multi-party disk encryption, usually branded as "recovery options" or some such. They keep their private keys secure. Second off, the FBI is not asking for a special do

John Baker's quote makes more sense if you realize there is no judge or trial or defense in a grand jury indictment. A prosecutor just makes their case and presents their best evidence. One hopes the majority of the indictments he refe

Interesting. In this particular case, though, Free Basics is designed in a way that allows Facebook to track what content is being accessed, without any explanation as to why, aside from the obvious incentive of being able to use that brows

Fair enough, although this seems like something which is ideally a company-wide policy from very early on. FWIW, I regretted typing that after re-reading it later. There are most certainly exceptions.

Of course HR is the company rep, and sometimes one who is happy to forget things which aren't in writing. If you want someone advising your interests, pay a lawyer. Engaging with HR is still a good idea. Ensuring a fair and reasonable

This is an extremely short-sighted view. There is no question that connectivity is a vital resource necessary for equality and that we want everyone to have access to the internet. The question is how we expand the network to them and — mos
