It's a shame because setting up some microphones around the city to detect a firearm discharge seems like a great idea. It's an idea, yes, but a *great* idea? There are so many technical, social and civil rights issues wrapped u

By the by, I hadn't heard of Zoroastrianism until I read Peck's A Short Stay In Hell, where the main character finds out (at the beginning) that Zoroastrianism was the one true and correct religion. It's a quick read, I&#x2

This continues to be debated by so many, but like this person, the debate is meaningless in the face of realities. I'd refer everyone back to @taviso's work up of SMS "2FA". [0] The amount of 'splaining going on in

I guess the main thing is that there is basically infinite demand for more things in software. Law is very similar to software in this way. They both also take a long time to write & are never actually "finished."

I'm always puzzled by posts like this. What is your purpose in posting this kind of extreme message claiming privacy is dead? Do you want people to give up on privacy and surrender themselves? Or, do you want people to be inspired to f
