What about 6 federal “agents” beating up and summarily executing someone who is just protesting them on a public street? Is that fascism?

Great tips and you’re right. We just flip into an app-side maintenance mode before we run the backup so we know there’s no writes, scp the file and then flip it back. We only do nightlies so it’s not a problem. The shell script is super s

Very quaint of them to exempt themselves because they've "proven themselves" already. Surely they are incapable of producing slop because they are just so much smarter than everyone else so the rules shouldn't apply to

The King of England is not our head of state, the King of Canada is our head of state. It's an important distinction because the Canadian and British monarchies are legally distinct offices. Canada is not subordinate to Britain like

Canadian Prime Minister recently said that he stands by Canada’s NATO Article 2 and 5 obligations with our Eureopean allies. A subtle signal that war with United States is a possibility. Trump will use this as a pretext to not only take Gre

I'm not well versed in Finnish law - but in the USA simply the act of accessing a computer without authorization, even if it not secured, can be a crime under the CFAA. So the company is still a victim, and obviously the patients as w
