   Wait so, in response to an article about the current year being hot, you excluded the past 50 years and made a conclusion that things are flat. Am I missing something from your post?

   "Buy Community Vouchers. Initially you would pay with a stablecoin (USDT/USDC). " You're literally requiring people to buy specific cryptocurrencies to buy your community vouchers.

   Friend, with respect, these "simple challenge"s really start to add up very quickly, especially after edge cases. Highly recommend you read this and similar posts: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17&#x2

   Frankly, I'm not sure why explaining it (or the explanation) makes the situation any better. FWIW, I'm the kind of weirdo who gets annoyed by having to add a new noscript rule for every federated instance. So I'm not exactly

   "If you're particularly concerned about metadata footprint, you can run your own servers in whatever network environment you feel like" You're not going to win any long-term support with this attitude, even if you'r

   Not directly an answer to your question, but installed Shotspotter locations are generally "not shared with police" and installations are done in a way where the location is obfuscated away from the police/city through Shotsp

    I've looked at many, many criminal court cases with these questions in mind and it really isn't that simple in court. Judges and prosecutors very often and truly don't give a fuck. Or the prosecution will just nolle the case

    Friend, you should try actually submitting some FOIA requests or bumping up against the "open data" stuff out there. What you're suggesting works in a perfect world where government agencies actually want to disclose informat

    I'm with you on shooting for the moon, but there are many, many, many little wins that need to happen before then. But it's not work that'll happen on its own. If you want to have your hand in poking at the problem, the best

    That's even harder than FOIA.

    Okay now, how do you show that it's not being abused? FOIA? Good luck.

    You're misreading my post with Coinbase-tinted glasses. My post is about the building that Coinbase operated out of. Not Coinbase itself.

    Here's the top of a conversation I had with him, starting with me: Thanks for the thought out response. I agreed with just about everything you said, which makes this whole situation that much more frustrating. On one side, you&#x2

    The big problem is that the exchanges are largely self-regulated. Or at least when I was in the field. A company I worked at sued a counterparty to our trade because we had proof of market manipulation. I won't say any of the details o

    Yeah. Lots of stuff exposed stuff out there can stay exposed for quite a long time without being targeted or noticed. I've found quite a bunch and usually all it takes is... looking. Just one of those weird things about the modern worl

    Sorry, that's not me. They were more than welcome to fire me as a client. I've been oncall for long enough in my career to know that a "quick email" is not, really, a "quick" email. It can completely derail eve

    They initially hired me to do "network security" work. Another similar email-then-bill situation is me responding to them telling them why I won't, under any circumstances, figure out who wrote a Glassdoor review. A lot of it

    Your post reads like something a lawyer would write to convey something that while (maybe) technically true, misses the point by a hundred miles.

    Once did some programming/networking work for a company that did the networking of a office sharing building that Coinbase was running out of. Early in my work there I noticed that the company had its admin passwords written on a white

    Used to hate pigeons in my 20s. Not like, vile hatred or anything like that, just.... man, what's up with these pigeons. Now, I live at a place that has a tiny pigeon colony right outside my window. Every morning, a cute pigeon couple
