I’m not accepting your assertion as fact. There are currently multiple civil rights movements facing organized conservative resistance. You can invent whatever moralizing obligatio…

It’s pretty common practice to capture system images from returned employee equipment when they’re fired for cause (at least in the US). But it’s also pretty common for technicians…

The problem with opposing civil rights movements is that reciprocity matters in the real world. People are disinclined to support your rights if they see you as advocating against …

I suspect China is overestimating the strength of their hand. Their economy is dependent on foreign corporations voluntarily choosing to manufacture there. If they start acting lik…

If he'd said that for-profit news media is the enemy of Democracy, I'd have probably bought a hat.

I’ll leave the semantic arguments to the Latin majors. Russia may see some legitimacy to its claim to Crimean territory, but it’s a self-asserted claim and it should be treated wit…

Who on earth is Russia going to sanction that would actually experience a negative outcome from those sanctions? What is Vlad gonna do, form a coalition with Belarus and Iran to…in…

I think there’s an assumption in there that one shouldn’t condone bombing a nation for invading and illegally occupying one of its neighbors. I’m for that 100%.

Using nukes invites nuclear war. As pessimistic as I am about humanity, I do not wish for a global nuclear war.

No. Crimea does not belong to Russia. That’s nonsense.

It doesn’t matter what Russia thinks about the property it stole.

Russia's opinion on others' borders is relevant only to Russia. I think Moscow is part of my estate and that I'm entitled to take as much money as I can from any Russian national I…

In Ukraine.

Russia is clearly the aggressor here. Why are they firing on UK ships from Ukrainian waters? Sounds like a good way to start a non-nuclear war.

What even happened? The ship wasn't in Russian water, so Russia claiming to have fired on it would be admitting to a Crime(a).

In line of sight to whose military base? This ship was operating in Ukrainian waters off Ukrainian territory.

Is it dishonest for reporters to report factually-accurate on sensational crimes if the reporting leads people to believe sensational crimes happen often? Which circle of hell do I…

Where does the article suggest that the AIS data was spoofed by the Russian side? I see a suggestion that it was spoofed, but not by who.

I regret following this advice in 2018. I have way too many SaaS applications that, 3 years later, still don’t support Ed25519 keys. The errors are never helpful, and each time I’v…

Lawyer up and prepare for an unsatisfying result. Unless you’ve got deep pockets and a lot of time, they’ve already won.

I hope they’re not inviting us to bomb China until representative democracy takes root. We’re not terribly good at that, but we’re far more effective at that than diplomacy.
