My site says "Unavailable for your site because your domain is not properly configured to support HTTPS", but I don't see instructions to resolve it?

> NPR's standard procedure in cases of errors is to make a correction, not remove a story entirely, as was done in this case. Glad to hear that the ombudsman raised the same issue I am raising here.

I had to visit like 3 different sites to understand the whole story. I feel like NPR got caught up in this scam. They should use the opportunity to investigate how this happened instead of burying it.

I am confused why NPR removed the story instead of adding this correction to it. It seems that this revelation only makes the story more interesting, given that it's about a con-man.

I have a strategy I wanted to try. Look at historical percentage difference between currencies. See if there is any patterns like, every time BTC drop 10%, LTC drop 20%, or something like that... Find those patterns and trade on them. Do yo

I think this raises a fair point. How can we punish the employers and not the employees? Maybe we should have jailed the executives or responsible party, so no one dares to pull that kind of shit again.

It's hard for me think of wellsfargo as an "evil" company, because every time I had to go into the branch, they have some of the nicest tellers and it's always a pleasant experience.

Oddly coincidental because I just spent all last night reading about distributed computing for Uber's payment system. I can't imagine the government system has more load than Uber.

Every single congressional hearing is like this. They just sit there and chastise the CEO... It's a PR stunt, public spectacle kinda thing. All the real work is done by lobbyist in closed door meetings.

It sounds to me like the researcher wanted to use this data to identify at-risk groups and get them preventive care. I don't mean "identify" as in, de-anonymize them, but to use data to figure who may need help (or advertised

You are way way way way too optimistic... It is clear by the current state of our politics that there is no repercussion for lying. The fact that Sinclair has been growing is evidence of that.

This has been said many times, but it feels like all the manufacturers colluded to make EV cars extremely ugly and undesirable. Prime example being the BMW i3. Of all the nice looking cars they have in their line up, one has to wonder why t

As someone who mined bitcoin at home before, stories like this is the reason why I don't advocate for bitcoin. This is a slap in the face of a decentralized system. When I stopped mining a few years ago, almost half of bitcoin's m

Do you really think he would risk something like this for a measly $31M investment? The guy is worth like $17B. Maybe this is why I am not rich. I just don't have the right mindset.
