Surely the email can be found in the inboxes of some of her friends still at Google. Any of her friends that were on the same mailing list could give her a copy. Assuming she has any friends at Google.

Not pointless. Having such a bill pass the House contributes to the normalization of cannabis legalization.

I believe the word 'dangerous' has developed a new meaning; roughly "this doesn't align with my personal politics." Whatever my politics happen to be are assumed by me to be best for society, and consequently a

Not surprising they were wary of conceding to that demand, since it doubtlessly would have caused at least some of them to be harassed on twitter.

> radioactive waste This one seems over-hyped to me. Some species of fungus have been observed extracting energy from gamma radiation. While incredible, it's roughly similar in principle to the way plants extract energy from vis

From what I have gathered from Wikipedia, East Timor has not been governed by the UN since 2002. However the UN still governs the Cyprus Buffer Zone, part of the Golan Heights, and Kosovo. In the past they have also governed Western New G

People get fired for picking fights all the time. You say that's not reasonable, but what's reasonable about subjecting all the other employees at a company to somebody who picks fights?

With satellite TV, you need only receive and controlling who can do that is a matter of DRM which the transmitting companies struggle to implement securely. In the case of some satellite TV broadcasters, no DRM is employed. With satellite

Correspondance between officials can be relevant when determining which officials knew what, and when. This is obvious common sense stuff; it shouldn't require explaination and your resistance to it smells like motivated reasoning.

I'd like to think we've made some progress since then. Or at least aspire to...

I don't think I've ever heard of that particular software in any other context so... hard to say?

An uncontentious example: Documents created by the Third Reich helped prosecute war criminals.

I've heard it suggested that Starlink is used by SpaceX to keep their schedule fully booked, which helps them maintain quality standards, training, etc. If so, they could perhaps lose money on Starlink but still come out ahead when yo

I don't see it. Twitter could retain an archive of those tweets, while simultaneously not publishing those tweets on their website (''deleting'' them.)

Most of the documents may never be read, but the only way to preserve the valuable documents is to preserve all the documents, lest you lose the valuable ones during your hasty initial evaluation of document worth. Furthermore the worth o

In America, it isn't possible to commit treason unless there is a legally declared war going on (there hasn't been one for decades.) Otherwise, 'traitor' is nothing more than an insult.

Such people, when met in real life face to face, inevitably remind me of Aesop's fable concerning a fox who wanted grapes but couldn't reach them.

So if anything, a naive 'nm' comparison is actually too favorable to Intel? That's amusing, since I've heard it suggested by Intel fanboys that it was the other way around.

Flying buzzsaws seems unlikely to work, but I don't think snipping the old cables would even be the hard[est] part. Installing new cables would almost certainly require workers to be present on the center platform, and it obviously wa

When it comes to the matter of cables failing, you should look to a specialist in cables, not radio telescopes.

With the Spanish getting a mention, it seems odd that the Germans/Hessians don't. They were very nearly as numerous as soldiers from the British Army and were more numerous than Loyalist american troops.

Why create a novelty account just for this comment? It's not like you're discussing anything sensitive.

If you desire the latest and greatest no matter how proprietary, that's your prerogative. But to then pretend you want open hardware but have your hands tied is silly.
