That's a good example actually - should criticism of Trump now be subject to restrictions due to the two attempts on his life? "Stochastic terrorism" must be applied equally in both directions

Likewise, this contrasts with the (rightful) criticism of Google and other companies censoring anti-government material in China - which could also be described as "company complies with local laws"

An important part of democracy is that it proves its legitimacy to the citizens. Threatening citizens who are skeptical or critical of the process (whether reasonably or not) is the only thing here which is a threat to democracy

How would it be completely different? You're confirming that you see the left as more deserving of speech than the right

When I visited I think I spent more time looking at the architecture of the building than the collections. It's very nice. Similar story with the Louvre I suppose - I never went in, but enjoyed walking past the pyramid exterior in the

And how many give up after one (if that) when they realize they can't afford the time to do it without enough compensation to reduce hours/replace their day job? Especially when it comes to the boring business side of getting it p

Yep. This isn't a dichotomy between unscrupulous trend chasers vs passionate artistes writing masterpieces just for the love of it. There are plenty of people who would like to make their living selling creative works that they&#x2

If you mean the ones that are just a painted strip on the ground, then OK, but for existing traffic lights controlled ones it doesn't seem unreasonable at all. Sensors to detect pedestrian and/or car presence are already extremely

You could likely swindle many physical stores out of wares by social engineering too, but making material gains by deception is known as "fraud"

Yes. It's funny how people will claim they only block ads because they allegedly want to pay for good content, but cannot, or claim that piracy is just a service problem. Yet when asked to put their money where their mouth is they inst

I've noticed that Confluence, Reddit, and a good number of news sites do the same thing. Usually the title segment is entirely ignored, meaning you can prank someone by changing the title part to something shocking, and it just redirec

And it's sad how often one needs to use the URL to find the date, since many authors just don't put it on the page (corporate sites are particularly scared of dating their stuff) Others seem to think just day and month is fine, as

And I think Kotlin would just be val results = foo.filter { "banned" in it} Though I'm not sure I'm a fan of it eagerly finishing with a List. If you chained several operations you could accidentally be wasting

That sounds like a usefully-circular/tautological claim

Yes, unfortunately I've also observed that while "OSINT" is theoretically a legitimate, white-hat thing, in practice it's very often used as whitewashed branding for malicious (often "righteous") doxxing. Sim

Yep, and a lot of backup software will use them (along with file size, and other stat() fields) to determine if a file has changed, so backdating them can actually lead to silently stale backups

This is true, but I'd assumed that one of the major reasons to use TSV is for human readability. If not, then I'd personally choose an even rarer character as my delimiter

IIRC Snowden said he used similar tricks to see if his hotel room had been searched. One was a cup of water behind the door, that would be knocked onto a tissue that he'd sketched a hard-to-reproduce drawing onto. I think he mentioned

The one flaw I do see with them is blank cells If you go with the CSV convention of two adjacent tabs => blank cell in the middle, then rows of different length will not line up properly in most text editors. And "different length&q

Agreed on supermarket delivery. I've started using it now, and probably should have done so sooner I also actually agree on prioritizing bus and cycle lanes over car lanes. Instead of being angry at them, which unfortunately many drive

The company does have to use its assets to pay anything it's liable for, yes. It sounds like essentially arguing against the concept of limited liability for the owners and investors? I would regard LL as generally a good thing. Withou

You wouldn't want your "interactive" user filesystem on S3, no, but as the storage backend for a server application it makes sense. In those cases you very often are just storing everything in a single flat folder with all th
