This article isn't blaming anyone. It's simply pointing out that many white people in America live in a homogenous bubble, and tend not to be exposed to points of view held by religious and ethnic minorities. The author's exp

Take a break, then. Breathe. Think about blind trust and where you are willing to place it.

by etjossem 10y ago
Why do you think "it's real" is the only logical conclusion to a quote appearing in a right-wing hit blog and nowhere else? It is a weighty accusation which should be taken with healthy skepticism rather than on faith. In the

Most of these stories are about the fact that WikiLeaks retweeted True Pundit. Importantly, none of them are talking to the source. Were I the source, I would take these articles for what they are - invitations to give my message a broader

Your source is fake. Your source is so fake that not even known alt-right bastions are willing to risk their names on it. When it appears in Breitbart, we'll talk.

I fully expect the State Department to enter into conversations with DOD about formalizing the process for authorizing a drone strike, since the process is currently dangerously discretionary. Again, that's not news. If the source and

She's Secretary of State, and parts of the State Department would like to have a say in whether drone strikes are approved. She attests that no formalized process was in place. This is not news to anyone who has been following the situ

The original source is not an FBI report and you are completely misinformed. An unknown blog which contains nothing but right-wing hit pieces claims to have anonymous sources in the State Department. Until I hear this quote echoed by profes

The basis for this is claimed to be anonymous "State Department sources," by way of a single blog which does nothing but print right-wing hatchet jobs (True Pundit). Considering the lack of credibility in True Pundit's other

By strongly opposing a candidate that promises to do things like deport all Muslims, absolutely. Some political platforms are inherently non-inclusive and Trump's is one of them.

Director of Engineering is a soft-skills position that involves communicating with a lot of non-technical people. It doesn't surprise me at all that the initial screen would be a conversation with a non-technical person.

This one I agree with. I wouldn't use the service personally until the issue is fixed. But it is so counterproductive to find a security problem the average user wouldn't notice, and then not tell the author about it.

Even if the authors of such services are highly knowledgable about security, they're going to rely on reports from hobbyist security researchers to fill in the gaps. There are major companies out there right now with dedicated infosec
