In case anyone was looking for the actual text of the bill: https://www.leahy.senate.gov/download/usa-freedom-act_-intro... I'd honestly say this being said so close to the election is playing politics rather than

So you make over $200k a year AND have fun doing it? I'm just asking because that is the only way your comment makes sense. If not, I suggest you re-read. > At one point, a career goal of mine was to "get paid full time to work

> I doubt you could host a large scale operation on a single server. Given the volume that SR1 && SR2 received, you would need more servers at some point. At that point you either need to hit up craigslist again or host via cloud

'course. But how else are you going to pay? Stolen credit card?

Did I say a career goal? No? Maybe y'know, you shouldn't put words in people's mouths and actually read what was written. I'm telling you the way you value/put things is specific to you and a smaller percentage of t

That doesn't work in the real world for most people. At my Day Job, I use Language X with version Y for everything. I use Library Z and T only. Oh, and I can use ancient language B as well but I cannot use any 3rd party code with B. Yo

This is basically just agreeing with me and not supporting what he said: "Sure if you take someone off the street and give this offer to them. But people who rise to the position of being able to consider [be CEO who does unscrupulous

Did you read the article? "No paid prioritization. Simply put: No service should be stuck in a “slow lane” because it does not pay a fee. That kind of gatekeeping would undermine the level playing field essential to the Internet’s grow

Then explain HSBC and Jamie Dimon+Chase to me? $9 billion just to shut things up and keep them from going to trial? What other motive would he have had to enable this [since he said he was aware of it in 2006] besides greed and the expectat

Ideally, yes. Hence the setting aside $50 million for legal fees and such. :P But I don't think it'll ever cover the full extent of the income without major changes to the political system.

I think from a rational, economic perspective if you make $100 million but spend 5 years in jail [and losing, say, $50 million in legal fees and fines], most people would consider that coming out ahead.

This++. Also, if they were nation-states you probably shouldn't post about it in a public forum either. I'd only worry if you were a Google competitor using Google Chant/Hangouts. :p

I'll have to take your word for it. I'm pretty sure you are overthinking this tho. What you are describing is basically: 1) They find the server [this likely takes months based on their performance so far]. 2) They get a copy of t

Yes but it isn't like they executed him or gave him life in prison. He'll get out at 43 (at the latest) and be deported. If they executed him or never let him out of jail, I think I'd take issue with it but in this case I thi

Except for the fact that no one doing anything shady will talk to an AP reporter now if they have common sense. That likely impacts their ability to report the news in a timely fashion.

I'm not sure this part is true. You can buy servers and server parts anonymously via places like Craigslist with cash. At which point, you just need a fake ID to trick the Colo and pre-pay them for 12 months in cash w/o being reco

Let us say you decide to hide out in Cambodia while operating servers in Iran. The point is where isn't important. Given a large enough market, the US would do whatever was needed to catch you. :P

To be honest, I don't think it is possible to evade the authorities and run a profitable business on BTC. I think that is really where these markets are running into trouble. They need to spend the BTC they earn to cover their costs an

If you don't live in Iran, staring down the Iranian justice system [given the lack of love other nations have for them] is pretty easy. Tbh tho, I wouldn't be surprised if you setup an Iranian site that you weren't accused of

As it sounds like it was social engineering [e.g. Getting into the private/admin areas of the forum via an undercover agent] I'm not sure you can state that.
