First paragraph of TFA says Windows Server supports BGP. But hey, I guess you don’t let facts get in the way of some anti-Windows snarky shitposting.

This pro-piracy nonsense is a point of faith for many nerds. They will twist themselves into pretzels to avoid the conclusion that piracy is costly and that enforcement of the law can be good.

Calculus doesn’t solve this. Creating a way to solve sums of infinite series does not itself prove anything about the mechanism of the physical world. Yes, obviously motion is possible. And 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 … = 1. But that doe

UAC offers almost no additional security for single user systems. You’re trying to protect your data and passwords and stuff, not the ability to install device drivers.

Almost all the bad things you’re worried about don’t require an elevated token. I’m much more worried about someone stealing my data, installing a trojan, etc. (none of which require elevation) than installing a device driver (which does).

First, a bit of pedantry: UAC is not a security feature. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20160816-00/?p=94... . It just works to encourage developers to make their software work without an elevated toke

No need to worry about statute of limitations. He sold them a license to use it in the game, in exchange for $20,000.

I'm skeptical there's a single C compiler out there that makes the first two behave as expected but not the third. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the real oversight is that the standard meant to say all three, or that th

The Fourth Amendment only prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. And it does not require warrants in all cases. There have always been exceptions to the requirement.

> civil asset forfeiture and absolutely no protection against unlawful seizure. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Even putting the specifics here aside, that's not how civil asset forfeiture works. If the government seizes your assets, you can

Poor legal reporting by CNN, but it sounds like DOJ was worried that these shares might fall under a bankruptcy exception somehow and end up in SBF's hands, clear of the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction. If so, this move makes sure

The Great Filter is obviously correct. It eventually becomes trivially easy to make civilization-ending pathogens and weapons, even accidentally. And there is always a deranged grad student or hubristic scientist willing to pull the trigger

501(c)3's are some of the most political organizations out there. The only thing they can't do is be directly involved in electoral politics. But social influence and ideologically driven work, that's totally fine.

Like I said, I'm including capital gains income in my figures. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make in your first sentence. Capital gains are taxed lower because, in theory, that income was already taxed at the corpo

The vast majority of the profits from those industries are not going to the ultra-rich either. They mostly go to pension funds and 401k holders. The focus on the ultra-rich is an obvious political ploy. In every western country with a more

Not a broken premise at all. The focus on the ultra rich is mostly just a political ploy since it's easy to villainize extravagant wealth. But the vast majority of income (I'm including capital gains in this) is made by the middle

It’s pretty obvious why the doctor’s guild would prevent more medical school spots from being available.
