I have a manager who does the "teaching" thing poorly. If you're making a request in the form of a question, fine. But if you're trying to make me THINK, fuck off.

What if the state is the US demanding data using NSLs or dragnet warrants?

great! finally a search engine that will give me mainstream news sources and the official washington or brussels consensus on facts.

But it will be bar policy to have your name/address/email info or their reader won’t authenticate you.

Or there’s cases like WMDs or “Assad gassed his own people” which are outright frauds coming from the establishment who determines what is factual.

It becomes an issue when people do try to start their own networks, those networks get smeared and service providers (credit cards, hosting, dns) start cutting them off.

I don’t like the “unbanked” basis for these anti cashless arguments because they’ll just solve that problem.

No they intentionally put those sources higher in the results even when there’s more popular content below it. They get extra priority as they’re deemed “authoritative sources.” So if you’re searching something political you’ll get a Washin

google also has a definite opinion on news, politics and other controversial topics which will get worse and worse during election years or during times of war.

Isn’t this all predicated on a manifesto that surfaced before the dust even settled? Also saw reports the manifesto was a hoax. Everyone needs to slow the hell down.

What if Rachel Maddow had a source inside the IRS who's trying to get at a folder that has trump tax returns and other financial details but doesn't have access. Source says they can deliver everything if Maddow can get some passw

yeah, judging from a few of those samples, i'm assuming toxicity means being on the "incorrect" side of the gun and immigration debates.

Using national numbers isn't really useful. The case study of the $50k ironworker in Seattle is well below the median for that city which has a median income of $80k.

by lurchpop 8y ago
Why are they characterizing $50k as "high paying?" That's median income for Washington state, and generally medians tend to skew low in terms of the lifestyle they afford.

Bmw will remotely disable a car if you don't use their batteries or have an authorized dealer install it. Would be cool if that sort of thing was covered.

Jesus Christ, if you want to put up one of those buildings you'd have to pay the existing renters over 3.5 years rent.

The author also makes a few contradictions. They need less surveillance because there's more "eyes" on the ground, and yet the biggest walkable cities that come to mind, nyc and London are the most heavily surveiled on the pl

I think that protective tone they're taking is PR. These potential enforcement actions are for your safety because we care about protecting investors. Not that it's a power grab in the crytpo market.

It sounds made up. I wonder if this is some flimsy parallel construction cover, or they're railroading this guy to justify some new anti cryptocurrency legislation/policy Dhs is waiting to roll out.

I think the argument of backdoors making services less secure is the wrong approach. The government just needs to convince lawmakers they've come up with a scheme where only they can access the backdoor, not criminals. The opponents sc
