There were a number of years where I would have been happy if YouTube just removed the comment section. The "culture" of comments in the early '10s is reminiscent of what you find today on sites like 4chan. Scrolling down to

Even for Facebook, I'm surprised at how deeply upsetting and tone deaf that comment is coming from them.

Gotcha appreciate the clarification. Yeah that's an important distinction between violating some norm regarding how "modest" women are required to be and the overtly violent nature of sexual harassment by men.

Black markets can be thought of as truly free markets that are free from antitrust action. These markets, if permitted to exist for an extended period of time, are dominated by cartels. "The Little Guy" doesn't get to be disr

Free markets have a well established, well understood "tendency towards monopoly." A truly free market is one dominated by cartels [0] (not to be thought of as something unique to the drug industry.) The market forces that spur in

It isn't much news (disclaimer: IANAL.) Facebook had submitted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. A motion to dismiss means they assume that every fact alleged by the FTC is true. You perform a motion to dismiss to say "even if ever

It seems that, regardless of one's political position, folks always want to try to map the motivations and views of the so-called "founding fathers" of the US to their own. This is likely because they play an important role i

I don't think it is all that uncommon for regular human-to-human transplant recipients to be on immunosuppressants for life. If I'm not mistaken, that's the case for all organ recipients, but there may be exceptions. I think

The tool in question is just what you probably thought: Ghidra, also thought of as a FOSS alternative to the popular decompiler/disassembler IDA Pro. Interesting story either way.

It's genuinely absurd to try to map the Libyan civil war onto crypto currency. There was nearly a "51% attack" on Bitcoin, though it's not accurate to call it an attack (and it was far more than 51% of the hash power.) T

I think there's a misunderstanding because the original thread leaves one thinking that Norton is surreptitiously installing cryptominer malware on their customer's machines (not a big fan of how that was communicated.) In reality
