Fever dreams are easy to come by.

Great. Imagine I sell a security product and I make a tidy sum telling you how secure that product is. Turns out, there's a security hole in my product that costs your company 100 million in lawsuits as customer data gets stolen via th

Remove lawyers from the composite picture. Is there any rational reason for a NDA in that case? If the answer is no, then in one way or another they are trying to limit liability by limiting the researcher's ability to be paid for thei

I think American Religious History IS for the most part, a Nonsensical Nightmare. The highlight was probably the Quakers, and the low points are the various cults which I'd say Mormonism is likely the more benevolent version of. Theref

Cords are probably always going to be more stable than cordless for the simple reason that atmospheric conditions change whereas cables are shielded from such change.

This is a not widely documented Civil War phenomenon, but happens probably quite often without people knowing it since by definition, it is the ABSENCE of sound that has to be noticed.

Unless their job requirement is tied to their gender, I don't think being a trans person is listed as "legal fire-able offences" unless you can also be fired for being one gender or another.

Not being under subpoena is not to suggest that destroying these devices was motivated by a pure heart towards opsec security for the US.

Sounds like somebody was looking for a scapegoat.

The proof is in the pudding as they say, but the idea appears to be exciting on the face of it!

by balentio 4y ago
I think human nature when something is young and exciting and offers possibility is to remember the beginning especially vividly since it is "new". Those moments always stand out to you later in the years when you have one of thos

You can control your presentation of an identity and you can kill it. However, you cannot stop others from resurrecting it and remembering it. This is the lie of copyright.

In part because they do it for the love of the OS. Now if only they would support these "mongrel" video cards...

I'd say that this is about the same as being de-platformed. You could argue that also hurts your reputation, but that's usually hard to do since you don't have a platform to state as much upon.

The simple solution would be to make the debt hypothetically discharge-able again and to get the government bubble of money out of the picture of higher education. I suspect the market would mostly regulate itself at that point, but then yo

The system is mostly pay to play. However, it is not really art that's the problem. It is the platform on which to display your art where things get complicated. It's rather like first have the talent to paint a Mona Lisa, then ha

No. The problem is greed. I'm not sure what fixes that, other than usually tragedy.

Great. Now apply it to all the other colleges who marketed themselves as money making for students and an "investment" only to saddle them with unforgivable student loan debt.

I think there are a lot of "hidden" things under people's feet like this, but it is especially neat when it is somewhere "far away".

An absolutely unnecessary sacrifice.

What would you suggest to make it better?

That assumes that his lawyers have not, in fact, done so. The legal system is a corrupt disaster which is why the FBI is raiding and doing whatever it pleases. It has actually been doing this for a lot longer than now, it just so happens to

I'd say the National Security question is less of an issue than "If a president declassifies something who has the ability to say otherwise?" Basically, it boils down to not recognizing the authority of a President of the Uni
