It’s similar to holocaust denial, it doesn’t make sense and the people who support the assassination also support the conspiracy

Which part? The fact that a part of the executive branch can’t kill the head of the executive branch and keep it a secret? Or the fact that I assume Oswald was crazy and being a megalomaniac did actions that might have started a war?

That’s the key to the fact they were disseminated online. They still hired people that weren’t fit to keep these secrets and that’s not a new issue

Can’t say I believe there was another gunman. There may be forensics technicalities that are hard to explain but it seems that in any event that is highly ‘investigated’ people find too many patterns in the noise (9/11 for example) Lik

I never really understood the logic because it is deeply oxymoronic. People that generally wanted him dead (ultra right) think that he was killed by the secret service (presumably left) and Yigal Amir (ultra right) was framed. But it is som

So despite countless of soviet spies in the FBI and CIA, the end of the cold war, defectors and open archives The JFK assassination still remained a secret?

This is very close to my feeling on the matter, and if I remember correctly there was even a case of cover up related to the fact that he visited the embassies (which can also be interpreted as not wanting to divulge their intelligence sour

So, just from the top of my head and rather recently: 1. the NSA lost all of its malwares/zero days to the Russians 2. The NSA lost a huge amount of documents detailing a large amount of their billion dollars sigint sources and tech ca

I look at it like the crazy general in Dr Strangelove that is trying to start a world war I highly doubt that a secret in the caliber of “let’s kill the President” can be kept by so many people for such a long time. In my experience large o

I completely agree with you that it was Oswald but the weird parts of this story are: 1. Oswald defection from the army and time in the Soviet Union 2. Oswald going to the Cuban and Soviet embassies before the murder (possibly starting a th

sounds interesting, can you elaborate a bit?

we’re talking an intrusion to the corp network not to the prod one (getting the keys from the crash dump) I assume that’s a way smaller scale. However the document doesn’t go into detail which kind of logs exactly they were missing, so mayb

It’s security logs though, presumably these carry less legal risk than chat messages or mails Also when you don’t know how a Chinese threat group got into your network that’s a major issue which will cost more than theoretical legal risk

Weird they don’t have logs saved for something that happened two years ago due to ‘retention policies’. That’s something I would fix

Do you know of any similar story at Google since 2010?

It depends on which one you refer to because both had some relation to Alsace-Lorraine. However, the first one broke out after a complicated system of alliances together with a non compromising attitude towards nationalism (assasination ult

I agree about the somewhat unexpectedness of exceptions, although it is much structured than gotos (you just go up the stack) virtual polymorphism for example is completely unexpected, as well as function pointers and other constructs that

Yes, however I am not sure if Dijkstra meant goto in the sense of jump outside of a function. I don't know enough about Algol 60 and languages of the time, but if you allow usage of goto between different functions you will have a corr
