His internet traffic logs would also have lots of indications that he was encrypting all of his traffic.

So he wouldn't have tor installed? His computer wouldn't be encrypted? This is ridiculous, the laptop would be full of all the software required for being a leaker.

The enigma code wasn't really much of a conspiracy theory so much as it was normal espionage during ww2. Everyone knew each side was spying and trying to code crack each other. So like, yeah, one of them was successful...

> Two people are enough to conspire. And to claim (as you did, if I understand correctly) that you need a "large group of people" to hire an assassin to take out one person is irrational, and I believe contradicts a lot of well

A conspiracy theory typically involves a pretty large group of people doing something big to deceive a massive group of people. Like a faked moon landing, a large false flag operation like 9/11, or a hillary clinton/democratic par

idk I haven't had a very hard time buying distribution rights for an unlimited time period for video games.

Except there might be a lot of rightsholders in the different territories. Figuring out how to disperse the revenue could be very difficult. It is a weird idea to steal art from people and force them to sell it to others.

Don't you think the most likely outcome of this is the far majority of older media titles will just no longer be available in the EU indefinitely? It will be unreasonably difficult and just not worth it to track down and negotiate with

I also thought this seemed fake when I read it. Just a gut feeling though.

I never said he "was amazon". I am talking about his contribution to amazon. All those "serfs" are not really risking their own personal wealth. They take home their pay win or lose for amazon. They are not serfs. Th

There are disagreements about whether mormons are christians. Mormons have a full book which they claim is scripture about jesus in north america. Because nothing is supported by provable factual truth anyone can claim anything. Unlike mat

This kind of seems like a no true scotsman fallacy. I'm not even sure what an "actual christian" would be because the books that make up the christian faith contradict themselves all over the place. You could even make argum

This is not really a good example. That bot is massively cheating and if you played against him a few times you would find very simple patterns that always beat him. (I don't even think the base AI can actually see your location in th

The issue isn't the traffic cameras or people getting away with crimes. The issue is that the government is not operating in a way that is legal. The people give the government its power and when it doesn't follow the rules that

So what you are saying begs the question, why are there so many absent fathers in the black community? 33% of black men go to prison. That creates a situation where there are far more unattached black females vs males. What is the optimal

So do you think the mods are paid more than the marketers pushing stuff to the top? As a person who has benefited from having posts on the top of reddit I can tell you that there is a massive incentive to manipulate the system and that mod

Is the point of hn to make a bunch of bot accounts on proxies to massively upvote your ad in the first hour?

So I guess we all think it is legit that this ad has 96 points in 3 hours. More than anything else on HN in this time period.

I don't know what you mean when you say polished. OSX is like a skin deep gui for unix. Tell me how you disable your second monitor in OSX using the gui. It was impossible to do this around 2 years ago when I tried, it probably stil
