That is what the commenting I'm replying to said, and it was incorrect to say so.

The article is clearer, but the author of the article seems to not understand his own article. It's a little baffling, really.

It's pretty clear he sees himself as an ally to Julian Assange, and is jumping to his defense. It's sad that this is what it's come to, and that we can't separate WikiLeak's role in this from the Russians. Good j

Can you specifically name the content you would have to see in a given government report that would convince you this event took place?

Okay, and how would you like the US government to share that information with you?

I just feel like there's no amount of evidence that'll convince the folks who are currently unconvinced.

Journalism isn't about "demanding verification" it's about getting it for yourself, and waiting until you have it before writing an article. Also, him saying "false story" is, itself false, because the the fact

You don't get to redesign all the cities of the world, and it'd be a mighty impressive feat to move all the traffic to the sky. There's also a lot more sky up there than there is land down here.

Yes, we want flying cars, and yes we "need" them if we want to solve congestion and traffic as our planet grows beyond 10 billion people.

I mistakenly thought Signal was an app on your phone that encrypted/decrypted text messages. What part of that has to be online, other than getting updated public keys, or is that the part that was blocked?

Yeah, people are saying, "No, learn CSS!" but isn't CSS exceedingly simple? Why can't I just use Bootstrap because I don't feel like designing an app, and Bootstrap is the fastest way to get a consistent layout on
