It's not exactly sci-fi but there are sci-fi elements and it's one of my favorite books so I'll just mention it anyway: Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

This argument isn't very compelling. Shell scripts are great at tricking you into believing you've got something 100% working when in fact you've only accounted for the happy path and maybe two or three failure cases. This is

I don't think they need telemetry. Go is clearly a successful language and community without it. The whole point of the proposal is that things could be improved with some telemetry. Now of course you could weigh the tradeoffs and sa

It's called "spyware" when you don't trust the collector to be acting in good faith.

This implies some sort of malicious intent on the part of the Go maintainers, which doesn't really seem fair given the way the original proposal was written and how feedback was incorporated.

This is a reasonable take, but I think it's also reasonable to suggest that if current system execution is too expensive then perhaps a new regulation could make it cheaper. Of course there are perhaps unintended side effects from new

You can register before commercial use in the US (filing status 1B). But there is a deadline before which you do have to start using the mark in commerce, and then update your application with the USPTO, otherwise it will expire.

In my experience 409a valuations for common stock are effectively set based on a discount to preferred and some handwavy math related to "comparable" public market valuations. So I would expect them to come down, but they will lag

The loan will usually be at a fixed-rate, while the interest paid on your deposits will fluctuate. So there is still risk that your net interest margin will go negative at some point.

This is pretty "easy" in Chrome, at least for a definition of "easy" that I'm comfortable with. For more than ten years I've had all cookies turned off by default in Chrome's site settings, and I click two

Honestly in practice I'm not sure there's much difference. A "nationalized" utility would still be regulated by legislation to behave "correctly" when operated by the executive branch. See e.g. USPS.

It seems like you're pretty upset about this, so maybe not the best time to discuss. But anyway my only point is that whoever is angry at Bragg about this must feel that the indictment is illegitimate, that's all.

by stanleydrew 4y ago
Agreed. We haven't seen the indictment yet, so it's not really possible to opine on its legitimacy. A lot of people are jumping to conclusions without evidence.

by stanleydrew 4y ago
To make this claim you have to argue that the indictment is illegitimate. And I suppose there are a lot of people who will make that claim. Presumably the reason Obama, Bush and Clinton won't be charged with crimes is that there isn&#x

This is just one indictment based on the evidence gathered by one local prosecutor related to one set of potential criminal acts. Other indictments are likely coming from other ongoing investigations.

There are other investigations ongoing in other jurisdictions, including an investigation related to inciting the insurrection. Those investigations may likely lead to indictments from grand juries as well. The United States has many local

Well yes it's common to return both, but the HSTS header explicitly has a max-age parameter so the browser is bound by the spec to enforce TLS connections until the max-age is reached. So when you say browsers would "require HTTPS

I think you're just talking about aggressive browser caching of 301 responses, which isn't related to TLS or HSTS. It is pretty common to respond to plaintext HTTP requests with a 301 to the equivalent TLS URL, so I understand the

I'm not a crypto fan, but I think the argument would be that Bitcoin in particular wasn't created as a means of wealth accumulation, but rather as a means of avoiding government interference in "money." That may have bee

Ah yes, the false flag accusation. I've noticed it's almost always the first thing propagandists turn to, probably because it's effective and basically unfalsifiable. It allows you to project your prior beliefs onto the actor
