I'm making 2 assumptions here: that you're American and that you're referring to the recent assassination. What I find odd is that American history is packed with assassinations and domestic terrorism and yet it is this recen

I'm open to Nuclear if it can be done safely and if we can show we have the cultural maturity to keep it safe...but in the case of Chernobyl at least I think that statistics and other officious BS has been used to greatly downplay the

Well Morgan was the editor of a broadly left wing tabloid in the UK for 11 years. His politics are quite fluid, except that I think he's consistently quite socially conservative ... "Common Sense" sort of thing.

My daughter's teacher told her class that Wikipedia is unreliable because it's just made up by volunteers. So I asked her where they should find information and she said other sites on the internet that can't just be edited b

No. The final flight could go back because that was the "return" flight. We had a good laugh about the logic of that.

My wife calls it going backwards to go forward and she can't stand it. Even planning a trip across multiple countries she needed our overall flight plans to move in a single direction.

No but it might help a younger reader and it avoids an absurd consistency

I think IQ is an incredibly bad measure of anything. So many IQ smart people I know make bad decisions and it's always because they don't judge other people well.

A bit broad. I guess the broadness of satire that people enjoy probably is a measure of how close the revolution is?

Your hatred is clouding your judgement. It is very clear that the issue of the protests is being used by an American government to pursue a much broader agenda. Israel and antisemitism are merely the most convenient instrument. But since yo

That is true. I interpreted your last remarks as meaning you thought that most normal SMTP was outright unencrypted or opportunistically encrypted with self-signed certs.

Enterprises. Porsche.com corporate email for example won't deliver without an OV. So once you're in the business of providing any kind of general email service you eventually have to deal with it. Edit: Porsche corporate

Many systems will not deliver where encryption is not present. Some systems won't deliver without a certificate issued by a public CA. And some systems won't accept an LE cert but require something called OV(organizational validat

Forgive my ignorance but all the tree cutting I've observed has been based on climbing and cutting in segments from the top rather than letting the tree fall. Under what circumstances is it better or necessary to actually let the tree

What people mean when they say this is that they don't want to engage in party political and/or tribal political discussions. They don't want to do this because it just means rehearsing talking points. People are not dumb. Th

Well the context is how they built and sold a business so unless that information is pertinent then why would he? Perhaps you can elaborate its relevance in more detail?

You're going to have to be more explicit for me. Can you elaborate? And are you suggesting that Wiz and Waze had a similar implied advantage? Or just the names being similar reminded you?

One of the possibly obsolete things I enjoy about working with a human junior dev is that they learn and improve. It's nice to feel all this interaction is building something.

I think the common perception is that Americans are more ideologically committed to tax avoidance whereas Europeans are more viscerally tempted by tax evasion?

I'm confused. If the software didn't exist then many humans would be needed to figure out on paper (or excel) how to make these decisions, wouldn't they?

There's a lot of negativity and nit picking here. Upcloud are OK, Hetzner are better in my opinion for a lot of things. Nothing is perfect and European providers need to start somewhere. We all know there are tradeoffs and limitations

There's no reason to reach for the Nazis. As an example they are the reverse of clarifying. What I've seen the last 15 years is both right and left aggressively hollowing out the centre. Views that would have been vaguely centre r

Can you not see how what that XKCD says which sounds so reasonable and innocuous will look to the people on the receiving end: that they are being shamed by an aggressive, vocal minority because of the views they sincerely hold? That this i
