  • I could imagine an Oppenheimer situation where he deeply regretted what he had created.

    But I highly suspect this was more of a case of "don't look deeply into my past", which, is quite ironic given what he did.

  • No Country for Law Men: The GOP Votes to Defund the FBI

    Jump

  • The bases for the two parties are very very different.

    It's why Republicans can, with little consequence, call Democrats pedophiles, crooks, etc.

    Democrats have a big tent, with a lot of moderates in the base. Moderates, for the most part, see democrats as the paragons of virtue, people who should stand tall while their opponents throw shit at their face and call it confetti.

    Moderates won't vote for Democrats if they feel like they can't be polite. They won't vote for Republicans but simply keeping them out of the ballot box is enough for Republicans to win.

    The only good way to deal with this is as a SuperPAC. Running attack ads and forcing Republicans to play defense. But remember that conservatives have significant backing from rich assholes and they have their own SuperPACs.

  • We need democrats or at least Super PACs to start commercials the fact that they are soft on crime. They want to defund the police.

    Remember that nuance is not a characteristic of the right.

  • They don't need to be a techie. Just someone who can click a button.

    I am remembering Julian Assuage has/had a payload that was distributed via BitTorrent. The file was encrypted with a private key and his public key was posted either as a file in the package or on the site where the magnet file was downloaded.

    Before he was arrested, he encouraged everyone to download the file and sit on it and to keep seeding it. He said in the event of his untimely death, the password would be released for everyone to decrypt.

    That would be another option but you sort of need the notoriety to make this work.

  • Iirc the way that blind works is by verifying you work at a specific company but then that email address cannot be used again.

    It's not associated with your specific account.

    Someone who worked at blind explained that but there's no way to know this for sure.

  • Anyone else remember Memory Commander?

    I suspect that all this program did was push stuff to the hard drive or faked how much free RAM you had to games.

  • I've actually given this a lot of thought over the years. The biggest issue for me is all my AWS services that no one in my family knows about.

    So the idea would be to, at minimum, let my family know what services are being used.

    Unfortunately there isn't a turn-key solution. I've seen a number of well-meaning solutions and some that are quite novel but they all suffer from the same problems: how do you deal with false positives and how do you verify your deadness.

    I imagine that the problem is similar to the Yellowstone trash can problem, in that any solution to mitigate one will make it harder on the other.

    The best solution I've found is to have a two-person solution, similar to launching a nuke. You have automation that tests if you are active that emails a close friend or relative to verify you are indeed dead.

    Ideally there would be more than one person on this list a confirmation from two people would kick off all of the automations you code.

  • Sounds familiar?

  • They have done the math.

    Over the long term, it costs them almost 4-5 times as much to hire a new employee. It takes most new employees 6-12 months to become as productive as their counterparts. Add the cost of recruiting, interviewing, performance management, etc. Giving a raise by far is the cheapest option.

    Long term.

    But quarterly profits will always, ALWAYS, supercede any long term investments.

    Why take the hit in your operating budget NOW when all you care about is making sure you're hitting next quarter's numbers? Hell, the employee leaving is going to lower your costs so it's better for you in time for the shareholders' meeting.

  • What? Of course not! We need to keep investigating Biden! He has Hilary's emails and Hunter's connection to Saudi prince's need to be uncovered!

  • Hiring budgets are often very different from operational budgets. The job you're moving to for a 30% raise has the same policies as your current job; you're just seeing the other side of it.

  • Black student at Hawaii Mormon school says he’s fighting order to cut hair

  • Mormonism has very strong ties in Hawaii. They sent missionaries there when the state was annexed by the US.

    While not as strong as Utah, it very much is there.

  • People don't admire the fact he's a liar.

    They admire him because he's a racist, homophobe, and transphobe.

    They admire him because he says things they wish they could say without getting yelled at by liberals.

    They are okay if he's a liar, sexist, misogynist asshole so long as he's also racist, homophobic, and transphobic.

  • No GOP wet dream is basically what North Korea does.

    You stand in line to vote and are handed a card. There is one box for the "candidate". You vote by putting your card in the box while everyone watches.

    You have the choice to not vote.

  • The first year, I was like, "They need to shore up their prosecution."

    The second year, "Probably waiting until next year, so not to cause an issue during an election year."

    The third year, "Come on....do something. Anything. Charge him for littering..."

    The fourth year, "It's not happening. Not when he's running for office."
