> Being unable to comply is not a valid legal defense. Sure it is. Lawyers even have a pithy Latin maxim about it: lex non cogit ad impossibilia.

Good news: the legislation doesn't target you as an individual. "Operating system provider" means a commercial or non-profit entity that controls the Internet-enabled device's oper…

> The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That's why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system. - Arthur C. Clarke

I don't think it's helpful to chastise people for acting in their self-interest. I am willing to individually give up a little to collectively gain a lot. That makes sense to me. B…

So why should I bind myself to it, if it's reached this point? The master's tools won't dismantle the master's house. Subjecting myself to a collective bargaining agreement meaning…

I recommend that you read your collective bargaining agreement more closely.

We agree, then, that it's ineffective at its stated goal of constraining an employer's power.

The National Labor Relations Act prohibits covered employers from negotiating directly with employees.

I used to get really upset when I saw a car on the road with obscured or disfigured plates. The rise of Flock/ALPRs has done a great deal to morally rehabilitate this behavior.

The future isn't evenly distributed.

Yes. Huge boon for chain analysis companies, even in cases where the coins moved long ago and are no longer sweepable.

The VeraCrypt documentation disagrees with you: > If you need plausible deniability, you must not use VeraCrypt to encrypt any part of (or create encrypted containers on) a device …

And terrible (non-)response from VECV, if they have any interest in receiving timely disclosure from future researchers.

It would also give you information about the order in which blocks were written, and the historical state of the disk. Because of wear leveling, block allocation isn't just a one-t…

Modern SSDs are log-structured under the hood. The presentation to the host system as a random access block device is an abstraction on top of that, emulating the semantics of spin…

Thank you. I decrement my Anubis-ire counter by 1 whenever I encounter a site configured like this.

Anubis is the penicillin of web hosting. Every individual practitioner has a strong incentive to overuse it, because it's extremely effective for them individually. Every additiona…

I share your frustration with the sluggish uptake as everyday currency. This is, however, a social and political issue rather than a technical one. People don't see the problem wit…

What I'm saying is that your (and others') distaste for the amount of power currently allocated to it is an aesthetic preference, and has no bearing on the viability or utility of …
