Which ones? The vague "Some TVs" screams FUD. Past conversations about this on HN suggest that this is almost certainly a complete fabrication, not something that has actually been documented.

> Each year, more than 170 workers die, and for the period 2009–2017, the mean annual total mortality rate has been 150/100,000. Most of the workers are in the age range 25–35 years and are most likely very healthy as they were acce

Yeah, these aren't any kind of "official" background checks though. You're just buying a report of very questionable quality from a data broker. It's often not very difficult to create false records in these reports

A large plastic jug, actually.

What kind of official background checks are available to US companies not working with classified stuff? I guess like, none? Maaybe some states offer this as a service?

Opioids are a perfectly good treatment and should be mainstream. Extremely effective with minor side effects.

What exactly is it that you are proposing the donors get in return? "influence"? How do you quantify that? Is it votes? If not votes, then what? Buying "influence" is not corruption. Paying a representative or a senator

It's neither. It's donations to support causes.

I just tried to pick a date most similar to the present one :) If you dig through the archives, I think you may find that the politicisation of reddit happened earlier than you thought. 2008 reddit already seems like mostly politics to me,

If you can't save the output of curl into a file, you certainly aren't one of the few people capable of meaningfully inspecting anything you download.

It's also possible for a web server to selectively serve you a backdoored .deb or git repo

by rosnd 4y ago
Is it meaningfully sketchier than downloading a .deb and calling dpkg -i on it? Or cloning a git repo and building it?

What alternative do you propose?

Full size RVs might be great if you avoid cities, with a van you can probably find a decent spot to stay on Manhattan. The fact that you can access so many more places could reasonably multiply the value of such a vehicle.

Why do you assume that Ukrainian ISP IP addresses have been transferred to Russian entities during the Crimean occupation? This seems like a weird assumption unless you know more about the subject than I do.

Oh no, I spend many thousands of euros a week on Champagne. It still tastes good. And I don't spend so much money because I chase the expensive bottles, it's because the prices for good grower champagnes have exploded in recent ye

Taxi/Uber drivers are not affected by energy prices? That's 90% of the Teslas you see in Europe.
