I’m not accepting your assertion as fact. There are currently multiple civil rights movements facing organized conservative resistance. You can invent whatever moralizing obligation you want, but I don’t think it’s reasonable expect an orga

It’s pretty common practice to capture system images from returned employee equipment when they’re fired for cause (at least in the US). But it’s also pretty common for technicians to be forbidden from browsing those files without a very g

The problem with opposing civil rights movements is that reciprocity matters in the real world. People are disinclined to support your rights if they see you as advocating against theirs.

I suspect China is overestimating the strength of their hand. Their economy is dependent on foreign corporations voluntarily choosing to manufacture there. If they start acting like a third-world kleptostate, they'll be branded as unre

If he'd said that for-profit news media is the enemy of Democracy, I'd have probably bought a hat.

I’ll leave the semantic arguments to the Latin majors. Russia may see some legitimacy to its claim to Crimean territory, but it’s a self-asserted claim and it should be treated with as much respect as any other self-asserted claim. Again, I

Who on earth is Russia going to sanction that would actually experience a negative outcome from those sanctions? What is Vlad gonna do, form a coalition with Belarus and Iran to…inconvenience Europe?

I think there’s an assumption in there that one shouldn’t condone bombing a nation for invading and illegally occupying one of its neighbors. I’m for that 100%.

Using nukes invites nuclear war. As pessimistic as I am about humanity, I do not wish for a global nuclear war.

No. Crimea does not belong to Russia. That’s nonsense.

It doesn’t matter what Russia thinks about the property it stole.

Russia's opinion on others' borders is relevant only to Russia. I think Moscow is part of my estate and that I'm entitled to take as much money as I can from any Russian national I encounter as compensation for Russia's

Russia is clearly the aggressor here. Why are they firing on UK ships from Ukrainian waters? Sounds like a good way to start a non-nuclear war.
15.
by zero_deg_kevin 5y ago
What even happened? The ship wasn't in Russian water, so Russia claiming to have fired on it would be admitting to a Crime(a).

In line of sight to whose military base? This ship was operating in Ukrainian waters off Ukrainian territory.

Is it dishonest for reporters to report factually-accurate on sensational crimes if the reporting leads people to believe sensational crimes happen often? Which circle of hell do I end up in for posting about Shark Week on social media?

Where does the article suggest that the AIS data was spoofed by the Russian side? I see a suggestion that it was spoofed, but not by who.

I regret following this advice in 2018. I have way too many SaaS applications that, 3 years later, still don’t support Ed25519 keys. The errors are never helpful, and each time I’ve had to troubleshoot the issue, it’s cost me at least half

Lawyer up and prepare for an unsatisfying result. Unless you’ve got deep pockets and a lot of time, they’ve already won.

I hope they’re not inviting us to bomb China until representative democracy takes root. We’re not terribly good at that, but we’re far more effective at that than diplomacy.

Maybe Jeff can succeed where Elon failed. I have doubts.

They're not running out of people to employ, their product (working in an Amazon warehouse) sucks, the market knows it, and Amazon is stuck with the excess inventory. If they want to solve the problem, they can improve product/mar

A lot of people were told their jobs are nonessential and the public debate was about whether or not they deserve assistance with basic survival needs. If it were me, I’d be doing everything in my power to never be in that position again. I

If past efforts are any indication, whatever regulatory scheme they come up with will cost these companies a good deal of time and money without doing anything to effectively solve the problem.

You could always disrupt bullying when you see it. A lot of people would be grateful and you're less likely to go to jail.

Are Seasteaders fleeing specific laws or do they intend to just sit around contemplating their on-paper freedom?

The thing that struck me most about this article was the frequent east/west framing. Is that common outside of the US?

Are there any sources more credible than the US military reporting these phenomena? Until there are, I’m assuming this is just a ploy to get funding for some new asinine weapons system.

by zero_deg_kevin 5y ago
Is there any primary source evidence of this or is this reporters reporting things reported by other reporters? The former would be incredibly compelling, the latter would lead me to question the reporter’s motives.
