The economic consequences of non-compete agreements are interesting, to say the least. I'm curious to see what happens to average salaries for programmers over the next few years i…

At least one of those activities is blacking out his website on SOPA blackout day.

I think the point is a bit clearer if you imagine each song having its own market. I am not a member of the market for dubstep. I am a cheapskate in the market for Taylor Swift son…

It's not about what they eat, it's about what it becomes in the digestive system.

One of his supporting arguments cuts both ways. Apple's patent on "hand scaling velocity" simply gives a mathematical formula for the sentence: "scale at a speed proportional to ho…

He's just removing the right-most letter/number swap in each iteration.

Don't you end up eating the digestive system of the bug along with the rest of it? The sticking point for me is not that the animal is a bug, but that I am eating its waste. Never …

I don't think that in the case that someone has your laptop in hand you can still plead the fifth. If there is evidence pertinent to the case on the physical drive obtained by the …

I don't think you understand what a subpoena is. A subpoena is a compulsory order to produce all documents related to a matter, whether the government knows they exist or not. So y…

Nobody has the right to avoid a reasonable search in the United States. You are protected by the fourth amendment from unreasonable searches, but you aren't going to convince me th…

Do you think the government should have subpoena power in order to collect evidence? Do you think they should be able to search a murderer's home for the weapon? I'm not saying the…

Yeah... no. There's a line, and past that line, law enforcement has no power to enforce laws at all. Removing the DOJ's ability to collect evidence is, in some cases, the equivalen…

It's easy to see why you wouldn't want someone to decrypt your laptop. What about Bernie Madoff? Wouldn't you be furious if all data produced by a corrupt hedge fund manager was en…

Wouldn't you do the same thing?

Why would he need to explain it to the windows that are using his coworkers? Also, it's very unclear to me what that the situation you are describing entails. /s Grammatically, you…
