How are we going to punish the EU for this? The penalty for interfering with Archive.org must be so severe that even an international entity would never contemplate doing this again.

The reason I asked the question is because sometimes there is a tendency to think of "China" as a monolithic entity and say "China" is spying on companies or putting bugs in the cellular equipment and so on. I've ev

The thought of #1 research universities crowded with rich dummies just disappoints me. Imagine what research could be accomplished if the universities were populated by smart people instead.

At some point I lost my lust for obscure hardware like this, although I remember what it felt like. I'm really disappointed he didn't take an image of the disk as it was when he got it, because it would have been really interestin

Leo wanted to make his film so he didn’t ask too many questions when this guy wanted to fund it. A similar thing happened to John Delorean.

You're just talking about the downs though. No one needs stoicism to weather the ups of life. The rich are just jerking themselves off. Probably because they have some subconscious insecurity over the lack of suffering in their lives.

You should never have been sending mail from noreply@ in the first place. Every message needs to be send from a real mailbox that can receive a reply that will be read by a person. If the message isn’t important enough for that, then it is

I’m not sure if they would. It seems to me that, at best, the email has zero value to an enthusiastic Facebook user, because they are routinely engaged with the site, and have the app installed on their mobile device to receive the notifica

I’m not sure why this company is still allowed to send mail. Why can’t their mail servers be blacklisted?

I’m still really alarmed by the idea of the gene drive. Suppose eliminating mosquitos has unintended consequences, such as the loss of species that feed on them, or other species that rely on their existence in some way we don’t understand

Microsoft has done more to damage computer security than any other single company in history. They quite simply don’t belong in this space. I can’t believe anyone takes this type of shit seriously.

Negative, those things are external to any employment position and not something an employer is entitled to discount salary against.

Terms of use and privacy policy not ready yet. Let me just fall all over myself to enter my whole portfolio into your web site. What are you planning to do with all of that information once you get it? How does this make money?

That is an incredible amount of energy and I agree that it is worth trying to reduce, but I’m skeptical of adding numerous DC-DC converters to the chain. In the current state, it’s all passive devices between the turbine at the power plant

I agree with the author, the lesson really is to take the documentation seriously. I think a lot of people might not be in the habit of doing that, because they find the documentation of many projects lacking, or because it’s easier just to

You know or probably should know that all conversations between prisoners and their attorneys are privileged. If you're saying that you've illegally recorded and listened to those conversations, you belong in a cage with them.

I understand now. Where you wrote “I am not staying in the U.S.” I took that to mean that you were leaving the US, but you meant that you are currently not living in the US. I think your plan is exactly right, find good representation befor

If he’s a foreign national who never wants to visit the US again for any reason, and can expect his country not to extradite him for whatever the charge is, then it is a reasonable strategy.

Announcing your plan to leave the country is going to get you arrested and held without bail. Hire a real world criminal defense attorney now and hope the court will let you trade your passport for an ankle monitor.
