Framing it as purely a question of trust in government and pointing out an example of our interests not being represented is not the entire surface of the argument. The government's stated purpose is inherently good (though they do not

My wife had an account hacked years ago. I don't know for sure that it was brute forced (could have been phished or exfiltrated by a keylogger or session jacked with an XSS vulnerability or...), but I also don't know that it wasn&

I think the definition of a "lie" implies intention. If one says something that is not true which they genuinely believe to be true, that is a "mistake" rather than a "lie". So the scenario you are describing s

But the code responsible for the bug was generated C. That they use Go in other applications is irrelevant.

Then why should Obama have given any airtime to Fox? Why should the next democratic president? And now you see the problem: suppressing journalism that you don't agree with is a fucking dangerous precedent.

I find it baffling that you can speak about open conflict between two nuclear superpowers so confidently. Nuclear exchange would mean, best case, collapse of civilization with a possible extreme worst case of human extinction. Why in God&#x

I think the value in such a comment is placing it within a timeline of the person's life. It wouldn't make sense to relate a story from 1982 and mention it relative to Jobs' death, but discussing an event that occurred months

That you describe mindfulness meditation as "new-age" suggests to me that you aren't familiar with it, and are dismissing it out of hand rather than thoughtfully. The new-age movement has a spiritual element to it, mindfulnes

I don't agree at all. Let's be honest about why conservatives have this "healthy skepticism": because the fossil-fuel industry has successfully linked belief in anthropogenic global warming with liberalism. It's a c

How many such incidents have occurred? How many Muslim people exist in the world? Is it justifiable to violate the civil liberties of a large group (and set the stage for something much worse) when this ratio is quite small?
