How do they do it in other countries? Is the US the only country in the world that protects their citizens rights? I'm pretty sure that's not true. However, I do think the US is the only country that enforces laws by "trial b

$110M for the lawyers is absurd. We as a country need to disincentivize lawyers from filing lawsuits like this. There should be a limit based on how many hours they work, etc. Lawyers fees should be negotiated on top of the settlement, it&#

I still have old mailing list emails from the early BugTraq days with replies from Julian Assange. It certainly was quite popular in the day!

IIRC, they have basically an instance of a scraper for every different bank web site, which to me doesn't seem very scalable. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but when I interviewed a few years ago, it definitely seemed tha

This is what I think too. I bought my cast iron pan for $15. I use the heck out of it, and I don't think about seasoning one second. If I need to cook something that will stick, I put oil or butter on it, and I wash the pan afterwards.

I'm actually less anti-Trump than most. I voted for him in 2016, but didn't vote for him in 2020. I don't like most of his policies, but there are some of his policies that I do like. I liked Trump before he became president,

I think it's in the interest of the FBI and CIA to covertly run a service that caters to the extremists, so that they can monitor their activities. If they get driven underground, it will be harder to maintain tabs on them, but the cre

Yes, I think this is actually it. After he basically commanded them to "Stop the Steal", I said that Facebook and Twitter would ban him. I also said that nuclear war was also on the table. If he is so unAmerican that he would actu

"We need to stop any speech that we think is wrong!" Well, what if the definition of "we" changes? What if you become the minority and the majority wants your speech limited? The only reason why we have things like gay r

Very interesting proposition, I hope the company flourishes! I'm not HR but I'm pretty sure the anti-overtime provision is completely illegal at least in countries like the US and Canada. I would outlaw overtime instead of pay peo

My son picked up Scratch programming over lockdown by taking an Outschool course, and then he joined John Hopkins CTY online courses and has been programming on his own since then purely for pleasure. He has made videos and animations and I

Could this be some sort of data corruption? I find it hard to believe that Slack could be down for this long without something that is exceedingly hard to rollback. Even if some services are completely overwhelmed with traffic, they could b

You need to come up with something that works before you can expect someone to pay. Why would someone pay money sight unseen for something? They don't know you and they don't know if you will even finish what they paid for.

It's a fantastic idea. Shareholders, who the Board of Directors claim to be beholden to, would lose everything. The company would get liquidated to the highest buyer. Shareholders would be incentivized to not support crimes or strategi

The problem we have is that the lawyers for the government want to show victories quickly. They don't care about justice, and they aren't incentivized to prosecute tough cases where rich companies have dozens of lawyers and presen

It's funny how brilliant people like Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer were so intentionally stupid, because they were blinded by their own religion of "Everything Windows". It really makes you think how many others are blinded by

Teslas already have a user-facing camera. They are using them to make sure that if there's an accident, they can pin the blame on the driver (perhaps not looking straight forward, etc), and not their own technology.

I have to say that HomeKit really does a good job in unifying the Home IoT experience. I used to use Philips Hue exclusively, but the HomeKit app is just so much nicer. And since then I've branched out considerably, and the only unifyi

All this is is an artificial moat to give the taxis a monopoly. I used Uber when I was in London last year, and it was superb.

Dan, that's like asking a Google employee to basically get themselves fired. It's not something we should encourage, for their own benefit.

From the article, Pornhub only had 118 incidences of child porn over the last 3 years whereas Facebook had 84 million incidents of child porn during the same time. So it sounds like Pornhub is taking child porn seriously, and Facebook isn&#
