There is plenty of evidence, look at the lives of nearly anyone who has been suspected of online piracy. You're going to see a very strange pattern where something catastrophic happens to them and their lives fall apart in a nearly im

I'm not suggesting anything, that's exactly how it works.

The justice system is complete crap, the US government doesn't have the ability to deal with piracy because it is international. This doesn't work the way people think it does, there is literally no justice involved. The CIA is u

You're correct, there have been companies that quietly paid a million+ just to avoid litigation. It can cost certain companies tens of millions just to deal with a public security breach.

This happens all the time, I worked for a company that was audited by a security firm. The security firm compromised every part of the company by pretending to be employees, third party vendors or competitors looking to hire away current e

This is impossible to stop, there are private companies that collect road side camera data and combine it with cell phone GPS coordinates to figure out the same information. If you own a home your address is apart of public record, if you

Maybe its just me but I have yet to work for a company that didnt have legacy infrastructure that was hold them back in some way. Even the startups I've worked for had to make odd business decisions in order to take on new customers.

And this is the attitude that causes businesses to tell lies about everything they are doing. If you want transparency with regard to how you're data is being handled you need to ease up a bit and realize there are biological limitati

I agree with you completely, no one should be hiding behind "It's a really complicated process". They need to actually sit down and come up with a concrete plan on how to tackle the problem then communicate that we have a pl

It's not that simple, some of these companies have tech stacks that are run-a-way trains written by people who had good intentions but wrote their code and built their infrastructure in a way that was meant for 1/50th of the traff

Whenever someone publishes an article like this, I want them to find out what its like when you reach the threshold of 100000 individual delete requests per second which ends up being five million actual deletes when you factor in all of th

Exactly, a lot of people move into small towns and then unintentionally create tension with locals because they have purchasing power that is 3 to 20x anyone in the surrounding area. Most people don't factor in envy when they move som

We should try addressing another issue, there shouldn't be expiring skills in the first place. A lot of the tools and software that are being called "expired skills" aren't even old enough or mature enough to expire in

You would have to be insane to move because you've recently been given remote work privileges, especially in the middle of a recession caused by an ongoing pandemic. Companies provide remote work options all the time and once you move

Universal Basic Income is never going to work, we all live in a universe where everyone wants to build or create something. The average person isn't going to build or create a damn thing, they aren't going to do anything producti

I agree with all of your points, including the fact that I do not have supporting data. Just keep in mind that the people who are really good at skirting prescription drug laws do everything to make their operations look innocuous. They us

Pill mills were shuttered, but you'd be surprised at how creative people are when they need to feed their habit. There are doctors and pharmacists all over the place that are either: 1.) Being explicitly blackmailed by prescription dr

If you understood how bad the prescription drug problem was in the United States you wouldn't remotely be surprised.

Thank you, I read the title and was trying to figure out what this person was talking about. There are references to thought experiments going back to the Ancient Greece and Rome.

They are advertising for GitHub, I still don't know why people feel the need to use Github for well known projects other than the "social" aspect of GitHub. It would be interesting to see if it would be possible to extract t

I hate to rain on everyone's parade but no one transformed Wall Street. If you saw how most of the banks are run and who is in charge of these places up close there would be a run on the banks. Everyone would be withdrawing their cas

It's entirely possible they launched competing products because they know something everyone else doesn't. Did anyone bother to investigate why they didn't acquire these companies? I've worked at several startups and yo

I would be careful abour this one, some managers do everything they can to get rid of exemplary employees. If you're going to this make it as public as possible and make sure you have sound reasoning for why you are singing the praise
