No he didn't. There is literally no evidence he ever tried to hire a hitman or hurt anyone in any way.

I'm not a man, and I agree with scotty79. We are all different as individuals, and gender is pretty mush meaningless. Knowing that someone is a man, woman, non-binary, etc. might a…

What makes you think it's rare? The Institute for Justice says that: > In 2018 alone, 42 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. departments of Justice and the Treasury forf…

12 or 13 employees in an organization being accused of terrorism or war crimes doesn't necessarily mean the organization is complicit in those acts, or could have foreseen the situ…

Sorry, that should have been 0.1%. The claim about 10% doesn't seem to say much. What does it mean exactly for someone to be a "Hamas/PIJ operative"? Has UNRWA been told who these …

Gaza is a ghetto controlled by a genocidal group at war with another genocidal group. It's an active war zone. It's not comparable to Silicon Valley. How does the 0.001% of employe…

> They're already starting to make it more difficult. Look at what's happening with DoH where it's harder and harder to choose how your DNS queries get done and you get steered to …

I don't think that's specific to the modern era. Was there ever a time when it wasn't like that?

I have no idea what you are talking about. There are literally infinite alternatives because you can freely modify any open-source alternative in infinite ways. No one is going to …

That's frankly ridiculous. Moving countries is expensive, and there are a limited number of countries in the EU and the world. If you can't afford to move or don't trust any of the…

They can install an open-source OS/browser and ignore Microsoft, Google, and Apple. There is nothing they can realistically do when they don't trust a government. Governments ultim…

It's hard to say whether that would be allowed because the regulation is written in such a vague language. There is a risk that such a system would be considered to be a precaution…

All of the EU's own websites have cookie banners. Everyone has cookie banners. The problem here is the law, not the companies.

I certainly wouldn't call those successes.

And those elected officials are beholden to the highest bidder. In the current system, the people who make CA decisions acquired that power voluntarily and seem to have acted benev…

EU governments will be even more subject to pressure from the US. I don't understand how anyone could doubt they will comply with every request from the US government. The differen…

It would be impossible for them to force me to blindly accept a government issued ID card as true, and it would be insane for me to comply with such a demand. The same is true here…

The same argument could be made about the security research in the article. I think the majority of potential juror would never find someone guilty or liable for this, but there is…

As a user, I definitely welcome it. It's necessary precisely because companies like this lie about their security practices and endanger their users. The question isn't whether it …

I think most Democrats today recognize that was a mistake. The passage of the Respect for Marriage Act last year indicates that they have probably learned from that mistake.

Even if you consider fetuses to be people, which I don't, it doesn't take away from the number of people killed by abortion bans. If you save two people by killing one, you have st…

No. I'm self-taught, so I may be biased, but in my subjective experience all the best programmers I have worked with either had no formal education, or a non-technical education.

There are a plenty of people who want to build more housing, and they would make a lot of money doing that if it wasn't illegal. The problem is not capitalism, it's statism.

It's even worse for people who don't even have that option.
