Don't worry, by the time people find out we gave them Mad Cow in 40-50 years, we can stack up all the extra profits in a Caribbean bank and be sipping margaritas with small grains …

Upton Sinclair effect right here. Let's keep supporting a major source of climate change, obesity, antibiotic resistance, animal cruelty and heart disease because you want a hambur…

Wow. About 30 years ago, my now departed grandmother was at her favorite Italian grocery store comparing sirloin to ground sirloin and noticed a price difference. She asked the but…

Only one? My official impression of k8s from many sources, bug reports, first-, second- and third-hand experiences is that there's quite a pile of mud with steam rising from it. Th…

Maybe this new generation of developers doesn't view plagiarism or an ability to peruse source material as a problem because it benefits their laziness to simply copy&paste and omi…

There was a documentary where eating quality small, oily fish were order(s)-of-magnitude more effective than fish oil pills. Furthermore, fish oil pills can often go rancid and ins…

Achievement unlocked: Godwin's law

Yes. At a meta-level, it's dripping with contempt, judgement, criticism and antagonism to an extreme degree, plus combative use of redundant personal pronouns to drive a wedge of d…

Cannibalistic theft in a business suit. It's always sold as cheaper and then charges citizens as much as possible later because the state-subsidized monopoly is a business first, n…

Yes. Let corporations in to cannibalize and strip-mine the public commons (common-wealth) with perverse incentives and gamify things too important the government should be doing. B…

You're stuck in an utopian delusion not dealing with reality. When you privatize government, you create perverse incentives for corporations to extort citizens by charging excessiv…

Netherlands extremely rarely gives anyone an actual life sentence for anything. Plus, it's a property crime, and depends if she had knowledge of their value and intent based on tha…

Then we don't need most mainstream human news reporters anymore: same level of research and knowledge on topics. It's when AI can do hard-hitting investigative journalism that we s…

True and it's true the title is a clickbait overreach without direct evidence in hand, however it's still true that America's decline has been a mostly gradual one and the rich hav…

It also replaces ssh-agent. I also use monkeysphere to store SSH keys in GPG. It's a far better solution than ssh keys lying around requiring management.

Shedding? Why? The point of supporting "legacy" crypto is batteries-included and for many instances where it's vital for backwards interoperability. Makes me glad I left Go because…

HC was an enhanced Campfire clone. I still like FlowDock better than Slack or HC.

Worked in nuclear industry in the late 90's. Most *WR designs are inherently not fail-safe, complex, require dedicated teams, are nearly impossible to insure and require a massive …

There are some hillarious 419eater meet comedy answering apps that direct random pre-recorded skits to the scammer. When real-time natural speech synthesis arrives with unique acce…

On VOIP landlines with nomorobo, one ring means a sad day for another scammer. :D And it's free. Haven't tried the paid mobile version, has anyone tried it?

NoMoRobo is free for landline VOIP in the US (maybe Canada too). Works like a charm in 98% of the time. For cell phones, you'll usually have to pay for such an app that can interce…

NTLM doesn't use a salt. It's 128 bits. That's within the realm of nation states and there's at least one public sparse NTLM rainbow table. And I said, "if you have the storage," w…

Legend has it Patrick Moore is still offering to drink it to this day.

Yeap. There's only so much people can or will give without feeling used, resentful, bitter and/or bored of being overworked and told to work harder. It's also another example of wh…
