Mainstream media has "owners" who "fire" editors when they don't like the stories being written. Journalist pitch stories at those editors. See Rupert Murdoch and the Times of London, The News of the World, The Sun,

Kind of underscores Taibbi's credibility that he'll pick a fight with Musk and be shadowbanned though, huh?

Yep, I got that totally wrong. I wonder how I managed that. Had near total expectation that I was going to find that the other way around when I went back to check. Dose of humility for the day.

Oh come on now that's not fair. No matter how utterly woeful and corrupt tech journalism had been (and horrific is the adjective I'd use) drawing parallels to Jim Kramer is just unseemly.

Doing it locally is better, for mine. eg https://gitlab.com/hal88/junkcode/-/blob/master/c_template.c single file, chmod +x, compiles itself and executes the binary, can easily give the -S flag

Using an operating system you have to tinker with to get working right, and even fix when it breaks means you learn a lot about the low level of what an operating system is, and how this one does it. That information translates to being use

That's a new one, you have no right to privacy for your banking records. Obviously you don't actually believe that when seeing it written out. This is a change in what conduct is considered legal. Didn't used to be, now found

Nah it is. When something "just works" you don't learn much about how. When your graphics card driver shits itself, you learn something getting it working again. Console text editor at the minimum! It's not "misery

Yeah it's really annoying for the government officials to have to prove you're a criminal before treating you like one. Imagine founding a nation where these employees had to actually do that? When collection agencies perform secr

Locking your house, bars on jails, wearing a vest all take none of our rights away. Doesn't compare with giving away rights to government agencies for their convenience in countering things you haven't done and may not. If you can

> "...interested persons might move or hide collectable assets, making the agency’s collection efforts substantially harder." Is that asset movement or hiding illegal? Hasn't happened yet either way. A: Yes it is illegal.

Let's flip it then. Why does the IRS need any secrecy at all here? Or better Why does /any/ government agency require /any/ secret search powers without a properly executed warrant where they justify that?

So when someone at the IRS with no oversight does something utterly evil and totally illegal for whatever reason they had and your business gets ruined as a result, you are bankrupted and you could have easily prevented it all because any j

Oh for goodness sakes what is going on here? So much ridiculous, wordy justification of the unjustifiable! Is it just AKTCHUALLY dialled up to eleven or something else? There is NO WARRANT here. None. If there were a warrant then a judge co

The whole thing can happen in secret. No gag does not require your notification. That secrecy will be abused. Count on it.

by harry8 3y ago
Nonsense, the reasoning is completely sound and you have misread. The justification for secret powers executed in secret is that the "party in question" might proceed to do something else wrong in the future if they were notif

by harry8 3y ago
The above analysis bothers the hell out of me. Because you might do something /wrong/ we need to have secret powers executed in secret. Surely if moving assets is wrong, there's a law that says in these circumstances you may

There are as many different ways of disagreeing as there are pairs of people. I don't know what this kind of naked abuse with no substance achieves but whatever it is, there are /plenty/ of places to do it. It's been a t
