    Saving every single page feels a little overwhelming to me, I open lots of pages looking for a piece of information or an answer to a question and many aren't relevant, many others…

    Like several other commenters noted, these types of roadside stands are prevalent throughout rural areas of the US. You usually only see them on side roads though, if you're just p…

    > but state-actor level threat models shouldn’t be assumed so early Isn't this a response to _exactly_ that threat? Nation-state election interference activities have been detected…

    Complex indeed, it's a multidimensional balancing act. Both technology and ethics can progress and regress across a huge range of concepts. Too much unexamined progress (of either …

    You can place a limit on the monthly total of the per creation payments, probably this is to combat this exact scenario.

    While the exact language in the quote is perhaps implying something, it only directly says the that the cause is warming during the industrial era. It doesn't provide any direct in…

    Hard to say which is worse, the intentional lying or the fact that Symantec has repeatedly violated the BR's and root store policies despite the appearance of best efforts not to.

    BoringSSL and LibreSSL are two non-trivial projects to improve SSL libraries that started within the last 2 years. They may not be at an ideal state yet, but a lot of work is being…

    For clarity's sake, they were hacked once and in separate instances had vulnerabilities reported to them by security researchers, which were then fixed. I don't know if it's more o…

    I think there's something being missed here by a lot of commenters. The title of the blog isn't "What Solves Homelessness", it's "What Helps the Homeless". As in, right here, right…

    I think the affiliate model is far better than having ads everywhere on the site. The incentives are far clearer this way. By consistently making good recommendations, they will bu…

    It certainly does sound like a riff on the "our incredible journey" format.

    I bought the last couple of Make bundles and they come with a couple of ebook formats plus PDFs, with HQ PDFs for some titles. I definitely recommend the PDFs, but it's nice to hav…

    There are links on the SEC's and FTC's homepages for filing complaints, reporting antitrust violations, submitting tips, and reporting identity theft. There are probably more but I…

    Because the pay scale is subjective and the reporter doesn't know the amount before they report. FB and others have guidelines for their bounty programs that leave an upward bound …

    I highly doubt that someone who has been writing extensively about the MTA for almost 10 years is "clueless". You make a good point that the cost per km is exorbitant and needs to …

    Unless the dev's statement (quoted in TFA) is a blatant lie, this _has_ been discussed multiple times in the past. He also doesn't refuse to discuss the issue, but recommends readi…

    I imagine that when operating a ~400 ton machine any operation is at least slightly more complicated than just pushing a lever. Especially when combined into a series in a short pe…

    The probability of interception is massively higher than miniscule, see the recent wide scale hijacking of Chinese traffic to DDOS Github or ISPs inserting ads and tracking into re…

    It's not too hard to obfuscate the actual domain for non-technical users, leading to easier phishing. By only displaying the actual domain name, it's much easier for people to see …

    Windows 10 isn't released yet, so there's no way that I'm aware of for it to download Windows 10 in the background.
