I wonder also if they're at risk of getting their money stolen by police. Would a carload of mercs be able to stand up to a single cop on the highway claiming the money by asset forfeiture?

On the duplicate title test, I wonder if they saw no difference because they put the unique element after the pipe (e.g. "... on Pinterest | {pins}" ). Maybe google ignores after the pipe because that's where people always pu

I went through the same thing at a start-up I founded (with others). It ran for 10 years and I never jockeyed for a management position. I just stayed a developer. In the end the fact that I was a founder who played a giant role in building

NSA and FBI have a strong history of lying to the public. I would say that makes #2 more possible. It's also in their interest to position the threat as a national security issue because that's where they derive their power to reg

Went through this recently at Best Buy. The salesperson said by next year they may no longer carry any "dumb" tvs. Currently, those options are almost gone. I didn't see any dumb tvs over 40" and there were no 4Ks withou

Conservatively, I'd say abuse will start in 18-24 months.

HAHA you can tell David Gregory was personally offended when Alex called Snowden a whistleblower. Also, he's knowingly misleading his audience when he says there's been no evidence of abuse. The LOVINT revelations and general prac
