Response to terrorist attack from Afghanistan: Invade Afghanistan. Response to terrorist-equivalent cyberattack from Russia: Invade Russia? I hope not. I don't want World War 3 to be in my lifetime.

Now that we're finally pulling out of Afghanistan and done with the War on Terror, it's time to disband DHS / TSA and put things back to how they used to be. I think it's kinda weird how very few politicians are talking

I read the book as a young'un in the target demographic. My review: Harriet the Spy was a very stupid story. It's a bait-and-switch. The title gets you really excited to read about a female grade-school James Bond. "Harriet

The death penalty used to be much faster. But through a series of laws and court rulings starting in the 1970's, they decided that the case has to go through a super long sequence of appeals and court proceedings, with the intent of m

Is this waste a radiation hazard, or not? The waste is a byproduct of fertilizer manufacturing and has nothing to do with nuclear power or weapons. For that reason, I doubt it's radioactive. However, the article is contradictory on th

This is really confusing. In Section 1.1, it says the DID "did:example:123456789abcdefghijk" resolves to a DID document. Does that mean it uses DNS or similar to resolve "example" to a server that hosts the "123456

Fascinating article. Let's work through the business plan. If it takes say a $2 million loan to acquire land and build units for 100 families that pay $1000 monthly, that's $1.2 million a year in rent at 100% occupancy. I dunno
