I’m assuming he wrote that himself or had it written on his behalf. There aren’t a lot of facts available, but from reading the two articles (justice.gov, Reuters), it sounds like his level of experience is a matter of debate.

It’s hard to be sure, but it sounds like they were lower-level lawyers at the firm that won the Johnson case and wouldn’t have directly benefited monetarily from winning additional cases. Seemingly, they were offering to ruin the case by de

It sounds like the defendants were lower-level lawyers at the firm that was initially suing Company 1. (According to one of the articles, it seems they were later fired and started their own firm.) Rather than offering to drop the case, the

They already pleaded guilty; the link was changed to an outdated article. (See comment below by dang.) The extortion is this: 1. They were responsible, in part, for suing Company 1, presumably in the high-profile Monsanto lawsuits. 2. They

Can you change it back? The justice.gov link is much newer and contains significant new information. For example, the Reuters article emphasizes that the defendant was not yet guilty and a second person hadn’t yet been charged. However, the

What's more important here is that the title doesn't match the conclusion. (That being said, it's kind of cool that they A/B test all their titles like that--thanks for the info!)

I prefer it primarily because it "just works". I don't use my TV often these days, so I stopped maintaining all my custom hardware (e.g., Retro Pie). I've found that my Chromecast can be finicky; sometimes it doesn&#x2

I used to use apps on my Samsung TV, but it became clear that Samsung wasn’t interested in ensuring that the device was secure, so I had to look for alternatives. They stopped releasing updates for my TV about a year after I bought it, but

Yup, if you’re willing to tinker, you can make a pretty nifty home media setup for practically nothing, customized to your liking. But for everyone else, Chromecast et al are plug-’n-play. If you’re an Apple person and are willing to spend

Do not connect Samsung home media devices to the internet.[0][1][2][3] If you really want the internet-based multimedia features, get a separate, more secure device such as a Chromecast or Apple TV—and even those aren’t perfect.[4] How man

Current title is "Western Digital’s SMR disks won’t work for ZFS, but they’re okay for most NASes." That isn't the title of the article (it's the subtitle) and doesn't match the conclusion: > Conclusions > We

I’d rather be able to charge my devices slowly than not at all. To be honest, I really don’t care about fast charging. I’m carrying around battery packs either way.

I’ve amassed quite a collection of charging-only Type-C to Type-C cables over the years. People usually don’t realize they have such cables because they typically come alongside a charger, so people only ever attempt to charge devices with

This isn’t an information disclosure vulnerability that would allow someone to gain knowledge of new Apple IDs. It also doesn’t affect first-party applications. I can’t provide an explanation of the behavior you observed without more inform

That flag indicates users flagged it--it doesn't mean any action has been taken by HN staff. It's essentially been reported to moderators by users, but unless you see the "[dead]" tag, it remains public and alive on HN.

I tried that for an SRE position at Google. You can get through the first couple interviews, but if you don't study the exact material they give you--and they'll give you a lot--and aren't able to recite it exactly as desc

Right, I don't see the justification for "breakthrough" on that particular page. It's interesting in that it's attempting to bring more performance to the JS world using old tricks, but from that page alone, I woul

The issue here is the link; it doesn't do a great job of explaining _why_ Bosque is breakthrough. A bold claim like that needs evidence. What's special here? From glancing at the code snippets--which is really all we have in the

I was surprised to find that one of the cameras listed is just down the street from where I live, and I frequently walk near it. It’s a pretty safe area, so I’m curious what sort of suspected crime they’re monitoring. That being said, the c

People were getting 503 errors, which indicates it’s something within Slack’s own infrastructure. Granted, external network issues can trigger internal problems, but I wouldn’t be pinning this on Cogent just yet.

You can do that with Telegram if you have a bunch of centrally-managed groups; simply mute them until you need them. Admins can unmute them as necessary. That being said, I don’t think I’d want Telegram to be my failover. They have a tenden
