I should have known better than to click on a click-bait article like this. Even if Disney+ enters the market and immediately dominates, that doesn't mean Netflix is dead. They'll have to (continue to) adjust and maybe their stock

Point being, the ability to edit and view edit history changes very little with regard to the courts. Instead of needing to present Facebook with a subpoena for information from e.g. logs, you're able to simply view history. It doesn&#

I'm still not following -- in court for what? This is information that you originally put out, wrote down on Facebook, so it's not that you're hiding something you didn't want anyone to know originally . If it was libel

For the first half of that, I was pretty sure you were still talking about Visual Studio. That's...pretty much what I'm looking at with VS on my computer right now.

I think you're talking about a different class of problems, though. The NSA is going to be focused on larger, sophisticated groups; Chinese government intrusions, multi-state-sponsored terrorism, coordinated Russian attempts to influen

You know who should determine if prosecution has basis to pursue? The courts, not the prosecution. Mueller and his team attempting to be neutral, in this case, plays into Trump and the GOPs side and thus the outcome becomes partisan, desp

A "strong assertion" versus a "weak assertion" has no bearing on the burden of proof. An assertion requires evidence. This isn't a communication issue. If I make an assertion, and someone asks me where I'm gett

I don't know that I can entirely agree. There is a nuance to sealioning that the comic doesn't get into. I think the difference between reasoned discussion and sealioning is beginning from a good faith argument versus bad faith. I

I literally could not disagree with you more. Arguing with someone on the internet (while almost always pointless) means I'm talking with someone whose motivations I don't know. Are they being disingenuous, trolling, are they quot

Personally flagged this article. This is incredibly hyperbolic and ignores some very important facts. What surprised me was that the title here "Russiagate is a death-blow" may have been slightly less hyperbolic than the article

I don't think that's really "ironic," and I don't just mean as a pedantic "what is the definition of irony" thing. The easiest way to see the problems with, say, airline travel is to travel by airlines. I
