   The first problem is identity. The voting part is easy, the politics are impossibly expensive to navigate though.

   100% this! Sorry but trusting local cops with anything technical is a fools errand.

   And this is why I've never notified anyone about any security issues I find, better to laugh and move on. Twenty years ago or so, I offered help to parties and every one of them accused me of causing the problem or otherwise being mali

   Magento, maybe. But I don't think it haa has the user base to drive numbers significantly.

   Can you provide evidence of this claim that profitable/large companies don't use PHP? Or just parroting unfounded php hate.

   Crime is crime, let's not excuse it. You follow the laws of the country you are in regardless of circumstances in your past, coming from oppressive regime isn't a free ticket.

   They are if they don't follow rules. Your political issues do not free you from following tax law.

   Tax avoidance and tax circumvention are not the same. First lesson my tax attorney taught me. ;)

   Not sure I agree, launderers don't worry about price, they need to move funds and do so on a fairly reasonable timeline. Losing a bit of money is part of the cost of doing business, as long as it's lower then taxes, its still a go

    Sears... Amazon and the likes not only ate, but stole their breakfast lunch and dinner. Blockbuster... Could have invested in their David but didn't, I'm sure they're still regretting that. To name a couple fairly obvious and

    There are contact/document editing tools that already show the change history and any redlines or additions. Even office can do this I think.

    Ya, but the logic fail is... Why only in these three known locations? If CIA was using this tech in other offices, others would be effected also.

    Not sure if I'd rely on the theory that one entity can always discover what another did. ( #1 above)

    When I lived in Austria, I had ads hanging on my doorknob almost every day. I was amazed at how many I got when I would leave for a week. US should do same. Make spammers deliver their junk mail themselves, lightens the load on the USPS and

    Gee, big tech using high paid legal staff to attack and silence others unjustly. Seems like the usual situation to me. :(

    i think any review based platform is good, then things can magically disappear when someone ponies up the cash to make an opinion they dont like go away.

    This isn't new at all. If I wasnt under an NDA I'd tell you more about how deep the rabbit hole goes. Keep digging, lots to find and crooked stuff to expose.

    absolutely agreed! we still have ec2 stances and workload, but for some stuff it was the perfect solution.

    I have a production REST API endpoints backed by PHP on Lambda that are called 12k/sec on the high end. no problems since ~2017. The best part is, I never have to worry about scaling the underlying resources, if sales brings in large c

    this doesnt solve the OPs problems though, if Vagrant is complex, so would be a docker image. the problem is the user doesn't know how to manage/configure the underlying complexity of the OS and needed services, which would still

    "pay that much for such complexity"... FWIW, we shaved 50%+ off our compute bill and lowered complexity by moving from servers to serverless. Just because it doesn't work for your situation doesn't mean it doesn't w

    i guess the guy that wrote the original challenge clearly didn't know what he was talking about. i wonder which "experts" he was agreeing with when making those statements.

    Great idea, but it needs more data, currently it almost comes off as biased. For instance this product: https://www.buyforlifeproducts.com/products/18 why were only a handful of glowing 5 star reviews pulled in? Sure,

    I imagine most devs would do the same in the same position too... Stay on possibly sinking ship, or move to a very well paying FANG. Choice isn't hard.

    If you are rich enough and have the correct corporate structure, you can poison anything you want in America. I think WV had shown this.

    Sub-division being built by my house right now. They paid $500k for the land a few years ago. Paid $1.1m this year to get the earthworks done ( underground power, water, sewage, irrigation,etc) plus they will pave the street and do curbing.

    I don't know of any laws in the US preventing this. Unless one contact barred you from the other, in which case it would be civil.

    They cut holes in the cement foundation and slide beams across the entire house, then lift it up. Back trailer under house, through another large hole cut in the foundation, lower house onto trailer and drive away. When I was a kid, I watch
