Yes, I was really arguing that. Thank you for correcting me. My incorrect belief was based on too myopic a view (I’m in the Ninth Circuit’s jurisdiction and forget sometimes that the rest of the country exists) and too broad an assertion (t

Are you arguing that a teacher at a public university doesn't have 1FA rights when teaching or giving their opinion on a subject they're an expert on? I am skeptical if that is indeed your arguent. If university professors believe

Clayton, you've made this claim a couple of times. Do you mind citing specific decisions?

I disagree. Case history is absolutely not clear about the difference between government encouraging action by companies vs. forcing said action, and whether the former is explicitly permissible. I read the decision. It's not so great

Jeff, where's your interpretation of events surrounding the president's resignation based on? My understanding was that the journalism school extended a written 5-year tenure-track offer to a candidate signed by the journalism sch

Is there some data backing the assertion (that this Web site appears to be relying on) that adolescents learn better from other adolescents?

Perhaps because you want to import something you don’t want to rewrite? There’s a lot of tested C code out there.

John, any other thoughts to share on changes in the department? I’m curious to hear your perspective.

No, nashashmi is implying hnews_account_1 is an adherent of the same Muslim splinter group (known as Ahmadis or pejoratively as Qadiyanis; see [1]) as Abdus Salam [2], the sole Nobel Laureate that Pakistan has ever has. Salam was a prominen

Not: Pig is not a documentary; it’s a fictional drama starring Nic Cage.

During the last two years, my family has ordered 46 times from them, and - other than three instances - the order has been perfectly executed. For those three, we contacted Chipotle, and we got an apology and partial credit. Conclusions: *

My 11-year-old just claimed that "The Wings of Fire" animated TV show - Ava DuVernay's adaptation that was in production at Netflix - has been canceled. Googling confirmed the news, and immediately thereafter led to news abou

Nit: Jamie Dimon (and not Diamond). Less of a nit: You apparently care about liking your workplace. Sample size of 1, but I know of (a) no-one who went into finance who enjoyed their tenure; and (b) plenty of folks that retired early from t

Is anyone working on a microkernel design for privacy-sensitive devices (like phones) that would prevent outright this class of kernel-level arbitrary code execution exploits? We're stuck with iOS and Android for the foreseeable future

Mr. Sharp is apparently not so sharp. He carried out the attack from his home network. He connected directly for enough time that his bare IP was logged. The rest of the time, he carried out the attack using a commercially purchased VPN sol

I disagree that "enlightened" societies don't rely on mediating access to information as the defining tool of control; our difference of opinion is perhaps that you think of this purely as limiting information spread, where I

I'm in a post-Thanksgiving charitable mood, so thank you, Jack. The execution hasn't been perfect (as has been commented on ad nauseam), but Twitter is the closest to a worldwide-accessible [1] Speaker's Corner [2] I know of,

I DM my staff on slack “after hours” [1] all the time, and set the expectation that they should respond when appropriate at their discretion. That could (and often does) mean the next business day or even later. Or it could mean ASAP; they’

Is a climate dentist (a) a typo (i.e., you meant denialist); (b) a clever reference to Seinfeld and anti-dentites; or (c) a valid phrase that I’m unfamiliar with?

Wrong. I’m not bothered by privately owned assault rifles because of the homicide rate. And, this time, you went to a straw man logical fallacy. I said Fairfax was better than the rest of the US, and not a favela. So, I’ll go back to my ori

Risk is relative. What’s your standard for being secure? The homicide rate in the US is 4.9/100k people, which is lower than the global average. Is your standard for security measured by this metric? If so, you should feel quite good;

That’s awful. I’m sorry that happened to you. But I’m not sure I understand your argument. If one or both of these drivers were legally in the US, what would law enforcement do differently? From my reading of your situation, it sounds like

It’s worse than you think. 1. One’s standing on a temporary visa (whether a B-visa as a tourist or an F/J-visa as a student) is always subject to such arbitrary fates by both DHS and DoS personnel. This includes the arbitrary and - mor

A bit meta. That was a really well-explained description of a non-trivial problem. I wish there was (or I knew of) a curated collection of bloggers that wrote this well about software.

Any conversation about individuals having the right to control their lives (including the means to end them) seems to me to be a good thing. Similarly, on a larger scale, I also find talking about the (often shady) efforts by various govern
