   Books on making guns are, its disingenuous to argue that CAD blueprints aren't written materials. It'd be like saying this post isn't written because its on a server and stored in a datafile somewhere.

   You'd be a rare bird. Most employees don't even bother to not pirate software, look at porn or whatever on their work laptops. Its somewhat hilarious.

   I think most people do keep backups, especially of email. Email clients are designed to download mail and its easy to keep it offline. I'm pretty careful and delete previous work product unless its open sourced. On a technical level, u

   The social dynamics of groups are really interesting. I'm in a Facebook group for vegans, where people continually justify eating things that have meat byproducts in them because they're convenient or they "don't believe

   I've been online for around 25 years, I don't think it gets easier. There are a lot of factors at play, but keep the old saying "don't cut your nose off to spite your face" in mind, even if you win you argument are

   Everything runs inside of SGX with a sysctl or something similar. If you haven't already, check out TempleOS :)

    This "report" is so speculative it should probably be ignored TBH. This almost sounds like an "adulterated" batch of "vape juice" or something rather than a technology related death. FWIW I'd trust a compa

    All VPN's are basically illegal there, so its luck of the draw. All of the big providers get blocked pretty fast and I've heard stories about China blocking swaths of AWS too... Apparently the best bet is to get a US SIM with data

    I'm going to guess that now that the hacker community has discovered/turned on them, they're highly likely to lose whatever funding they have and they're trying to get some of it back.

    If you're worried about the air and our environment, sure plant a tree, but pay for Carbon Capture. YC's funded some cool Carbon Capture startups and they make an immediate difference.

    Oh man, I'm in the midst of some of this right now. Theres no dowloadable form for certain things because they want it on identical sizes and types of paper... I have terrible handwriting and its killing me.

    I know systemd is controversial, and frankly I think its lame because it doesn't follow the simplicity and reliability of previous designs, but this sounds like "yet another linux trashfire" issue.

    ISIS having a right to free speech is an interesting point. Under current law and status they do until they incite violence. If ISIS spent all day tweet about kittens, they'd be in the clear; but obviously they don't. > The axi

    I found this situation regularly when going down the rabbithole of the anti-vaxx or anti-5g people. One "scientist" makes a highly dubious claim, thousands of nutjobs cite this one scientist, "scientist" then goes on to

    You could although honestly you'd have to do it inside of a non-user-modifiable environment. If you were using FreeBSD, you'd setup an SSLVPN to the parent host IP and have SSH enabled over that. Then you'd put in a firewall
