I used to make $9 an hour and was not eligible for Medicaid. ACA exchange in Kentucky (Kynect) wanted well over $100 a month which was not affordable for me, but then again neither was the fee imposed by not having insurance. I paid around

Thanks for the context--that definitely makes sense. It seems fair to say that legitimate leaks were probably diluted by baseless and largely irrelevant claims such as the Steve Jobs leak. Definitely fair to say if it can be done to Steve J

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the comment was a response not about proving that claim to be false (as the commenter pointed out there was no evidence either way), but rather the ethics of releasing data protected under HIP

What does that have to do with Assange being charged? EDIT: It seems any effort to seek clarification is discouraged here. My apologies.

I would think a "criminal beggar" as you call it could come up with an equally convincing sob story which doesn't involve revealing a "criminal" background. In my anecdotal experiences, random strangers asking for m

I would respond by simply saying nothing is getting done already, so worst case what would the difference have been? By your argument, no difference.

Maybe he can use it to endorse another moderate Democrat who would never dream of enacting such a policy.

I initially jokingly searched for pizza, but was blown away when I found a ton of great looking frozen pizzas. There seems to be a shortage of chicken breasts in my area right now as well and some of the options here look nice. This app see

I wasn't arguing that those things aren't pushed, but rather that they're rarely pushed with technical merit. See: "...which end up being the optimal choices?"

Unless I imagined it, they previously said publicly that they were unlikely to pursue a sell like this because they had succeeded at previous companies and cared more about the impact this product could make than the profit they could make

That has nothing to do with the parent wishing for the Green New Deal not to be pushed by Noam Chomsky. Also as far as I'm aware, Noam Chomsky is not a tech person so I don't see where your "we aren't 6 and get nothing f

It worries me because P2P is a powerful censorship prevention mechanism. Requiring a license to use P2P technologies would mean disallowing much more than just torrents by default. Not only that but lots of illegal content distribution take

Our current systems definitely won't fix the climate. I think I would take probably over definitely.

From the non-gatekeepers' perspective, the difficulty of policy implementation does not matter when the policies themselves are ineffective and only serve to maintain status quo financial structures, which benefit the wealthy often at

I knew several employees at the Lexington, KY facility and none described the job as fantastic relative to other options. Proof is that all of them have moved on to other jobs, some of which pay less, because the conditions are better. I&#x
