Even an American citizen couldn't be convicted of treason for what he is accused of doing. In America, treason has a very narrow definition. Other sort of espionage charges are another story. (Consider that even Julius and Ethel

Five degrees? I count two. Edit: That's three edges between her and the CIA, and frankly Ardin to Seltzer is one, making the count two. One to Seltzer, one to the CIA. If "reportedly" doesn't cut it for you, then you

The reason for the fuzziness should be obvious. It's really far away and it's really hard to see. Expecting a jump from "never seen before" to "seen in amazing visual clarity" is unrealistic.

I don't think I've ever seen anything but glowing praise for Lisa Su on hacker news. Then again, HN seems to discuss her less than Marissa Mayer. Why is that? She's far more successful. When I think great women leaders

Incidentally javascript is completely unnecessary to read the article: https://0x0.st/zZIt.png I strongly recommend blocking all javascript, including first party javascript, by default. You'll probably be surprised

What positive value does American Football provide? It gives us brain damage and entertainment, not much unlike election forecasting.

Untargeted advertising is very often more egregious than merely telling people a product exists. Traditional pre-digital advertising runs the gamete from "Come to me and I'll fix your car" to "You are ugly and unpop
