Why won't Bezos give his phone to the trustworthy FBI? Is he trying to perpetuate fake news. Our country and tech news is filled with Fake News and Russian Assets peddling it. Yest…

Is attacking Grewnwald's character relevant here? Anyways, if it is, Greenwald has been one of the most outspoken critics of many aspects of the Russiagate accusations against Trum…

From a distance, to me it's interesting to read about fears of the FBI snooping in our phones and email, and see how quickly the discussion jolts to how immoral (or amoral) corpora…

Sadly, it reminds me of all the stories of authorities using databases for stalking women they're interested in, or people they have a personal grudge against, or whatever. https:/…

If you're familiar with the market and the dogma at the time, the idea was that securitization used mathematical techniques to actually reduce risk, and these were being sold as su…

Physics has made a lot of progress in social justice and representation and these kinds of comments putting down "her point of view" is the type of toxic masculinity that will send…

Very true. In fact, I doubt few people would be content being alone with themselves and their thoughts and nothing to distract them.

No. Yes? That's what I mean, my whole life is a way of dealing with them by using escape mechanisms. HN is one of them. Lesser one.

I feel like my whole life is a series of addictions designed to prevent me from drudging through the extreme anger and sadness I have in my life. At least, luckily, I don't like to…

Paypal has the right to, not the government.

I am aware. Even going back in history, I find most are surprised to know even Abraham Lincoln really went after journalists and the press. Anyways, I don't know why I was downvote…
