Meanwhile, companies require us to come into work, commute hours, burn fossil fuels, etc. Companies and governments talk out one side of their mouth about being green and carbon neutral, then tell people they need to burn fossil fuels to co

You haven't been paying attention. Or you're going by what they say, not what they do. Donations to wikileaks getting shutdown by payment providers under government pressure because they didn't like the journalism coming out

This is already known data, you simulate the conditions of the womb and a baby in the 4th trimester (we're born early because of our big heads), will sleep easily. So swaddling, swaying and shhhing all simulate being in the womb where

Exploit DB etc, already exist. They're used for penetration tests as well, to simulate a real attacker, better to have something that you can work off of as a model to detect then let the attacks be the secrets of criminal organization

matrix.org has entered the chat XMPP doesn't even support E2E encryption out of the box. It's as outmoded as IRC.

It'd be economically viable if what I pay in local/state versus federal taxes were flipped. What happens instead is I pay exorbitant federal taxes, then that gets given back to my state/local governments as grants/title

If that were completely true China would be doing it now. We wouldn't see countries shutting down nuclear programs and replacing them with coal. But yes, I agree that if a tech is freely available there is opportunity for countries to

Right, write the same article about Jan 6 and people at the Capitol Building, and few would blink an eye. In that case, I don't think any any attempts were made to burn it down, or a federal courthouse building which has zilch to do wi
