I don't know why you're being sarcastic, but I actually wanted to make sure I don't bring someone on to be unhappy. People over 25 can work more than 40 hours and not get burned ou…

edit: Wow, I've gotten some negative responses and I'm not sure why. This isn't a "how can I exploit people" question, it's about making sure my interview process doesn't accidenta…

I'm not sure that my response helps build a constructive discussion, but I'd suggest that you at least have the direction reversed (lobbyists propose actions, the "assholes" (as yo…

I'm glad you didn't take offense to me making reference to the fallacy as I appreciate our conversation and wasn't sure how else to express that thought. If you haven't done so, ch…

No, and thanks for catching that. My understanding is that the prosecution doesn't need the decrypted data to secure a guilty verdict, but as they're entitled to it, they likely wa…

They're staying within the law -- the defendant being in violation of the law is why an order to comply was filed and why we have access to the court of appeals document. If you do…

Subtle point: "they" don't want or care about his credentials -- they want the underlying evidence for which they know exists (check out "The foregone conclusion doctrine" in page …

I think this is just a thing that happens in the movies. Also, check out the source document and let me know if you think someone found guilty of the described acts deserves immuni…

Head's up that the source goes into some detail and is a miserable, sickening read. Per the source ( https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/fedsr... ), the prosecut…
