I've made statements on HN I'd prefer are anonymous to the general public? Also, there was no mention they were handing the info over to a 3rd party. If you explicitly state someth…

Could be. But imo, anything the FBI touched would be suspect.

I prefer being publicly anonymous and if I answered your question there is literally only 1 person I could be. I suppose that makes me paranoid but I'd rather not create drama. For…

The latency issue is, I supposed I could have stated it better.

Of course. Hostile work environment = GTFO ASAP :) I'm just saying the "blacklist" bit was overstated imo.

> even if you do win then other companies will mark you as a troublemaker. Getting hired is going to get a lot harder. This isn't really true. Most businesses don't do thorough bac…

I don't think most people on HN are making over $100k unless they are in the Bay Area or NYC. Many, many places that "starting salary" is more like $50-60k.

Perhaps it does but I'm not convinced without evidence it happens and I can't find any that shows it happens the majority of the time let alone all the time :/

Do you eat meat? 'cause a number of the rendering plants that produce animal feed are still mob owned.

In case anyone was wondering why I bash Amazon's non-AWS technical staff... They screwed up the promotion, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and 3-5s latency for ads…

Its explicitly designed into Zappo's business model and an intentional side effect. They have a 1 year return policy + free returns specifically to encourage people to send more re…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Aleynikov would be an example of what I mean. :P

Wow. We must be exceptionally good for some reason then 'cause some of the items I'm talking about are specialty shoes that cost $100+.

I think you completely missed the point of why I pointed out an example of another side effect. :/ I'm going to drop it.

Does that happen in every case for every piece of technical evidence?

Like I said, if it really was how it worked someone would find a way to automate it. :P I suppose I could have been more verbose. I tend to use acronyms sometimes and not think thr…

I'd prefer a better educated populace that realizes the "technical evidence" being submitted in many cases is essentially witness testimony and not physical evidence [e.g. fingerpr…

What are you defining as higher end? $100? $200? Unusual measurements required? [e.g. Not just a standard size but additional dimensions] 'cause if you are, I'm still standing by m…

Tbh, this is what scares me about tech illiterate juries. Many of these cases hang on key pieces of evidence that are literally the FBI's word against the defendants.
