You can pay $50 and they will open it once again for you. I only know that after much trial and error troubleshooting why my public NTP service doesn’t work (port 123 also blocked).

I want to offer a counterpoint: it’s restrictions that make us more creative. There’s a reason why all of our most famous and ancient writers use some kind of line metric. Being bored forces you to work within your restrictions to have fun.

This is such a slippery slope. Even now snopes hasn’t debunked the “Trump tower server communicating to Russia”[1] story even though it was simply spam and is soundly debunked. And when we learned that or national intelligence agencies wire

I regard public transportation much in the same way people regard piracy. It’s a distribution, not a cost problem. If taking the bus is a major pain then people will always opt for the easier method. And in most of our country outside urban

Nobody is debating that it’s not already happening. We’re merely pointing out that it’s morally wrong. (Save me the false equivalences in the USA — we’re far better off than nearly every county wrt free speech).

The article is about a foreign government using data sold (or given for free) by an American anti-privacy company to build a facial recognition database. We seem to be plenty capable of subverting our own democracy without anybody’s help.

Something that tells the truth inconsistently and nondeterministically sounds worse for our society than just asking the question under oath.

I don’t think there’s any change needed. Why prop up the status quo with bureaucracy? Mainstream media was shedding eyes and under scrutiny well before “fake news”. Let MSM die its slow death while new and better services make their debut.

On its face this study doesn’t seem controversial, but it’s easy to see how people can find confirmations of their own biases in it. For example when discussing race and gender.
