I doubt the limitation is lost on Wyden et al, but there is a political barrier to getting a bill like this passed at all. It's a lot more symbolic to introduce a bill with no chance in hell of passing the Senate than to introduce one

Export controls. Interstate commerce. There's plenty of precedent for federal statute regulating international and interstate commerce.

That is an Onion headline if I ever saw one.

You do if it exacerbates wealth disparity and inflation.

Paul Graham is a charlatan. He has no great insights into the way the world works that aren't fatally colored by his own self-sense of success. In large part, the purpose of articles of this ilk is little more than to seek self-justifi

No. They is obviously Amazon, and I am expressing shock they were so successful in scamming their workers into voting against their own interests.

Can't believe they pulled this off. Incredible.

This seems like a bug because it means system state results in unpredictable behavior. There should be a dedicated swap for hibernation, like the pre-allocated hiberfile used by Windows.

Yeah, this is definitely happening. They need to dominate your life to pretend their job has purpose.

I read some speculation that the delay was to keep this objectionable crypto payment development under wraps until they were ready to launch.

Why this particular coin that nobody uses? This seems weird. Is this a monetisation scheme we should be worried about?

The Sony designs seem pretty interesting and divergent from the rest of the market. I don't know why they're not getting more attention, but I assume it has to do with carrier deals.

Authoritarian IT is always insisting everyone use cloud services -- but exactly the same cloud service for everyone. This seems designed to fail.

Um, I think you put words in my mouth and, in doing so, entirely missed what I was saying.

BSOD on your face.

The only thing you said that is true is in the last sentence. The basket of goods affecting inflation is heavily influenced by the cost of housing. All you care about when holding a store of value is how much of that denominated fungible as

I'm not sure anyone in this thread knows what inflation is. If the cost of housing rises, that is inflationary against all other fungible assets that could be used to purchase housing. That is, one requires a larger quantity of all ass

What are you on about? If the NLRB wanted to take action against this company for union busting, they have statutory tools at their disposal. What you're proposing is completely tinfoiled.

It's the federal agency itself that you're accusing of impropriety here.

It's just sliding squares in Chrome, but ironically it works in FF. I must be missing a font that FF provides?

Even so, there's a limit to how much the consumer can do, given how interconnected supply chains are. Your TV may ultimately be assembled in SK, but it will definitely be sending revenue to China for myriad internal components. A boyco

The fact that you're being silently downvoted suggests this generation does not want to be cornered on what its moral principles are. Disappointing.

All of that clearly raises red flags, which are perhaps overwhelming, but it doesn't necessarily mean they were entirely wrong. Case in point, a certain pharma company with no track record whatsoever was recently working on mRNA vaccin

Thanks. So, as with simjacking, a bad actor, e.g. an employee at a company with poor internal controls, can sell (or inadvertently give) access to anyone's 2FA codes.

My reading of this article suggests that the PIN requirement for number porting is bypassed in this forwarding scenario, since this method is claimed to be distinct from simjacking. That is, the number hasn't been ported by the FCC&#x2
