There’s a coordinated effort to ban books. Harry Potter has been banned. Parents are provided with the template letters to send and are trained to raise objections to books that don’t fit their religious ideology. I’d provide you with links but you could just google it yourself same as I could. Search for “coordinated effort ban books”

I hate to believe it but I’ve heard this more times than I can discount. So what does this mean for the future?

Isn’t it more likely that he was out when they raided his house, heard of the raid (perhaps from the woman on the phone when she emerged from the house on the phone) and fled to avoid arrest?

It sounds like he was “out” for weeks possibly, though? Seems like an overall very strange situation.

I’ll take em. They sound lovely.

Planning one, hence the conspiracy charges. Seems pretty Orwellian to me though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautionary_principle: not having evidence is not a justification for not taking action.

I can’t tell if this is a serious question. But if it is , I’ll take a crack at it. Because a major airport experiencing a power outage costs a crap-ton of money.

Every day I am more glad not to be part of the windows ecosystem.

I rode in a handful of BYD vehicles recently. They’re fantastic. It is early days yet so we won’t know how their quality and reliability stack up over time, but electric cars require 1/3rd the maintenance so it might turn out not to even matter as much as it does on an ICE car.

I hear Linux server is looking hot these days. Security updates patch automatically without reboot with unattended-upgrades (on by default in Ubuntu). Updates take about five minutes and zero downtime. Just puttin it out there.

Wait so the author thinks that the famously anonymous inventor of the famously anonymous cryptocurrency failed to take writing style into account when covering his tracks? It is about the only viable way of tracking Santoshi down. Imagining he wouldn’t think of it is arrogant and stupid. I thought of it in five minutes when first considering the problem and I’m nowhere near as smart as that fucker. It would take like twenty lines of python to obfuscate one’s writing style. The greatest thing about it being so easy is that one could write the script multiple times and generate multiple obfuscatory fingerprints which an outsider would see as one fingerprint. To say nothing of deliberate efforts to obfuscate one’s voice. Good luck with that.
