I do know for a fact they shadow-banned or throttled Scott Adams, who is far from a conservative but likes to practice free speech and is very open about what he finds problematic on his side of the aisle. Most of his tweets never appear o

And it's this kind of reporting that fuels the need for 'alternate facts' because the facts presented so often leave a lot to be desired.

Classic distraction strategy. It's sad watching people on facebook/twitter even believe one word from the White House and the MSM about Russian hacking. Putin isn't a nice person, but even so the facts simply don't sup

That Apple saga was quite an interesting view into American politics. If you ask me, Trump and a lot of the government is out of touch with Privacy rights. The opposite battle is taking place with free speech in Canada[0], with the govern

I believe AMD's market share in consumer PC's is about to double or more with Zen, if their demo is to be believed. Their supposed < $500 CPU is on par in performance with Intel's $1100 CPU with a TDP of 95W instead of In

There's nothing wrong with the CISSP for what it is, a wide gamut glance into InfoSec, but a lot of hiring managers have been led to believe it holds high technical merit. A few years ago I took a job with my then shiny new CISSP and I

I wouldn't say worthless, a lot of CISSP's are in management where actual technical ability gets delegated to non-CISSP's. I'm pretty confident that most CISSPs could pick up almost any security-related technical skill

That may be true, but many other countries are weathering the storm of falling oil prices just fine. Venezuela simply doesn't have enough of a free or business friendly economy to allow them to diversify enough. If Maduro came out to
