They admit they do not have enough information to determine the cause, yet they suggest there is little security risk. They can either not know or not know, but not both at the same time. At least that is how I understand the statement.

>We're investigating, but not to worry: there is no indication that this is connected to any phishing or account security threats. This statement is as ridiculous as it gets.

I have to admit I am getting lost in all these new language constructs :(. I worry that soon I will not be able to read TS code of more experienced programmers. That being said, the only way forward is to learn! But there seems to be total

What if I simply reset my Android phone to factory settings just before exiting the plane? Can they force me to log in to my Android account in order to get to my FB? And what if my battery is dead or my phone stops working? Can they force

I think the only thing that can prevent the US from spiraling into a dictatorship is a successful Netflix show about US spiraling into a dictatorship. Maybe it is too late for that too.

This post could be greatly improved by clearly stating what is the Windows Support scam. I read half the page and I am still not sure.

doctor visa is a terrible idea, a) it would undermine the salaries of US doctors, b) it would drain doctors from poor countries where they are needed more than in the US.

Kafka and Orwell missed an opportunity when they did not incorporate the idea of secret/paywalled laws into their works.

B specific. Answer the question above, name the problem you have on mind and tell us how is brutalism solving that problem.

Isn't it just a fad? How usable and readable is the brutalist design? Or what are you trying to maximise other than being different?

I sincerely feel with those who can not concentrate in an open environment but all is not black and white. As a mild introvert I hate the whole social dance associated with entering someone's private office while I can go into a deep c

I have a very specific idea on how to improve democracy. Make all public spending easy to search. Let me elaborate: Via direct and indirect taxes democratic governments take and redistribute between 30% and 50% of our income[1]. Yet we usua

Good point. Also, wages are not disposable income - the government redistributes more wealth than it used to. The number on your payslip may not be bigger but you can afford more food and health care. Any graph should take this into conside

You have actually illustrated 90% of the problem - none of the the above represents liberal behaviour but rather the very opposite. Liberal fight such behaviour, these things happen DESPITE OF liberalism. You have just validate my post.

Sometimes I feel like the more has been achieved by western liberalism the more is it being criticized for not magically fixing everything there is to be fixed. Coincidentally those who criticize it never offer alternative realistic solutio

If I could cast my vote it would be 1) perception of quick-to-open tabs and snappy responsiveness, 2) everything else. I just could not stand how unresponsive Firefox used to be.

Summary: gibberish >it’s not primarily the War on Drugs that’s driving this beast. Instead, it’s an all-out assault that “extends a brute egalitarianism across the board.” What that does even mean?
