The problem with your argument, which has been pointed out to you already, is that these allegations are based on nothing more than circumstances that look abnormal. Overselling or underusing seats is not proof that bribery took place. The

Dude, getting a PhD is about becoming a philosopher, it's literally in the name. You can't do that but only teach.

I think the problem with this article is pretty simple. Confirmation bias plus an unhealthy dose of Juvenoia. He admits in his update that the jobs he takes are cleaning up after projects that have already been recognized for their failures

I've also had engineering friends that worked for Amazon, none of them had anything positive to say about them. One interesting situation is that one of them worked for Google for several years before moving to Amazon. Less than 2 mont

There are several recent vulnerabilities which could have resulted in your computer being infected with malware without you knowing (like the log4j vulnerability). Because you're storing your passwords in a KeePass vault this actually

I know this isn't a humor website, but I'm seriously tempted to post the "but why?" meme. My personal mantra is that everything worth doing is difficult, but I've always had the perspective that this is not a symetr

YouTube has been cracking down on anything Covid related for over a year. Any discussion about Covid that has gone much past saying stay safe or get vaccinated has been instantly demonitized and hidden from people's subscriptions. This

Covid wasn't a brand new disease. They had most of the research necessary to create a vaccine completed two years before the outbreak. We would likely have had the Johnson and Johnson vaccine by July of 2020 if Trump hadn't shut d

Guys, two points here. One, this proposal was rejected. This did not happen! Two, their proposal was for genetic manipulation of an existing virus, which research on the existing corona virus shows was not the case. This has nothing to do w

Lately I've been thinking a lot about data cubes and how their use cases and methodologies for making them applicable are very similar to most machine learning algorithms. I don't mean how the output is generated or how things are

I wouldn't worry about purely display devices like TVs sending hashes. They don't retrieve the entire file, and hashing streamed data has challenges that tend to break the active stream. They would need to have a large enough samp

They unfortunately use both domain and ip based reputation scores. The problem is there are effectively an infinite number of usable domains. Even after eliminating the sub-domain problem the fact is there are simply too many possible domai

Filtering based on domain reputation has the same problem as trying to filter based IPv6 address reputation. They can easily change thier domain name at any time, and most spam operations do it every 15 minutes or so. This also has a second

by tikiman163 5y ago
The reason you found so many domains is that they intentionally take down thier spam sites and reload them under a new domain every few hours. They do this so they can't be taken down by people reporting them as spam. They literally se

The problem with hydrogen fuel is mainly one of supply. Even if they built hydrogen stations every 4 blocks across the whole world, the technology necessary to generate enough hydrogen to run even 5% of all the cars simply doesn't exis

Why did you think they keep pushing hydrogen fuel cells as the future? They know we're no where close to solving that problem, and if they ever do, the oil industry owns all the relevant patents. This is a simple case of the currently
