Right -- You can't trust a fellow employee to remember their own user name, or small basics like not stuffing paper towels down a toilet, so it totally makes sense that you see no problem with having every untrained, undocumented idiot brandish a firearm in the cubicle next to you.
Maybe if you stopped hiring retards and instead hire people who have a brain because they're the best choice for the job you wouldn't have that issue.
Even California has relatively weak controls compared to most counties and compared to what people are asking for.
Noooooooooooope.
California has some of the most restrictive and nonsensical rules regarding guns, and loooooooves denying or just ignoring valid permit applications for no reason. Unless you're a certain congress woman, then you get to pack heat while telling everyone else they can't.
Each cert should be signed by one authority - the fucking host serving it up to clients. Authorities are worse than useless. Self-signed certs are far, far more secure from a trust perspective. You just need to do the legwork and get your clients to trust the cert. If you control your environment and your clients, that's simple. If you're running a bank, that's a bit more difficult, but not too hard. You just need a trusted channel to establish communication. Perhaps in person? You could even take the time to get a cert from the user!
"NONONO! That won't work because <shitty_convenience_over_security_excuse>!!!"
How much do the Russians pay you to spread lies? Or do you simply do it out of the goodness of your heart.
Step 1) Use gerrymandering to win the majority of congressional seats, despite most Americans not agreeing with your politics.
Step 2) Win the presidental election by a hare's tooth, despite the your opponent being the single most unlikable politician to ever win the nomination.
Step 3) Then, despite being the first time EVER when one party has a majority of Congress, SCOTUS, and holds the Presidency, totally fail to get most of what you claim to want done.
Step 4) When everyone laughs at your total incompetence, make up a never before heard of "deep state" of enemies that supposedly secretly run the US government and blame it all on them.
Yes, mom, it wasn't me that spilled grape juice on your white carpet, it was my invisible friend DEEP STATE.
All evidence put forth has shown Russian collusion to be mainly a DNC thing.
Everyone uses gerrymandering when they're in power. The mistake isn't gerrymandering itself, but letting the clowns draw their own lines. Trump won by a landslide in the electoral college (the only vote that counts). SCOTUS doesn't have party affiliations like Congress or the President do. Further, you don't use SCOTUS to "get" things "done". They judge. Other than that, Trump has gotten a lot done, and is doing a lot. He's just not doing what you want. Most people aren't laughing at Trump, but at CNN, etc. Hell, CNN's own polls show Trump's approval ratings climbing steadily. Further, the "deep state" is absolutely real. Or do you not remember Snowden, Assange, Wikileaks, etc. spelling it all out for you?
It's not a logical fallacy to point out hypocrisy, bigger problems, or other shit that in turn show the point of some retard to be stupid or moot.
If your point is that guns are dangerous, and I tell you that cars and alcohol and hospitals are more dangerous, you don't get to call "whataboutism" like some schoolyard "nuh-uh" retort that magically enshrines your bullshit as unassailable. People crying about "whataboutism" are typically actually crying about someone poking holes in their claims, pointing out how dumb they are, etc.
Nah. I listen more to assholes than non assholes, because assholes are more often correct and fed up with the bullshit. Also, I'm an asshole myself and typically find myself agreeing when another asshole takes the time to rant about bullshit.
The original AC is correct, of course. This has been known for decades. Nothing new here, except maybe a crappy mathematical model for the sound, which is utterly pointless. It's a fucking pop.
The Post Office doesn't even have the fucking power to negotiate rates like you think they do. Hell, they can't even stop themselves from getting screwed by the presort bundles. That packet of ads and junk you get every week? The fact that there's an outer sheet now means that it's considered 1 piece of mail. It used to be each publication inside that single, thin sheet had to pay to be delivered to your house. Now they dump shit off at a proxy who slaps it all within a single outer sheet (which does absolutely nothing to contain the junk inside), then the post office has to take and deliver all that bulk for a fraction of the price (and a fraction of the actual cost they incur to deliver it).
And at the current rates they are losing money per Amazon delivery. Multiple sources have given actual numbers for this.
"But break down the losses, and the situation is a bit more nuanced. Delivering packages, it turns out, is a growth business, and it actually makes the Postal Service money: The revenue from package increased $2.1 billion, and was up 11.8 percent for fiscal year 2017. "
Yup, this is exactly it. The third party data now provides little to no benefit over the data Facebook gathers itself. So they drop the 3rd party data and try to get some PR from it.
It's not demonstrably false. They haven't so far shown that they can do that. The major successes so far have all infringed on patents and stolen code, even if they later clean up the act to remove infringing bits.
LAME, DivX;-), XviD, x264, and x265 are the major successes of open codecs so far. (Though DivX;-) became DivX, was bought by Fraunhofer, wasn't fully open/free, etc., its origins are still in the same camp.) All of these have their roots in the tainted swamp of code theft and patent infringement.
I don't care either way. People have been saying h264 and h265 were unusable. Yet I've been using them without any issue. What I care about is the efficiency, performance (decode mainly, I'm willing to wait overnight for an encode), and compatibility.
The original point in this thread is that this is completely unoptimized, and being open source doesn't magically fix that. Someone pointed to LAME as being better than commercial solutions, but that's only true because got where it is by stealing and copying.
Further, by the time LAME surpassed commercial solutions it was largely because those commercial solutions were done. No further spec changes, no further development, no further optimization. Instead, they were busy working on specs for the next generation of codecs.
The same exact thing happened with MPEG 4 video.
MPEG is shit, and the patents involved are a ridiculous mess and I'd like for almost all of them to be thrown out. But the simple fact is the open codecs have historically succeeded by stealing from the closed codecs and them hammering away on them long after the creators of the closed codecs had moved on.
In the end, designing codecs isn't easy, nor is it free in terms of time/money (the only things that matter for getting shit done). However shitty MPEG is, you have to give the devil his due.
LAME did this by infringing on patents and copyrighted code.
It's called "Lame Ain't an MP3 Encoder" because of this. They hid behind the claim that they're only doing this for research and are only creating source code, not an encoder. Of course, we all know LAME is in fact an MP3 encoder. All you have to do is compile it or download a compiled binary from someone else who did that step for you.
See Microsoft, DivX, and XviD for a similar situation in video.
Slashdot posters have already fucking told you how to fucking stop it.
Send the cops every time a 9-1-1 call originates from there, and follow typical procedure - guns drawn, clear the whole fucking area, violate everyone's rights, etc. Then fine them gobs of money every time it happens.
They're not actively participating anymore than the post office is actively participating when I buy a stamp or pay to ship a box, or AT&T is actively participating when you pay the bill.

corporations should refrain from antagonizing people.
Fuck you. That's never a justification for violence. Ever.
Asshole.
Who said it was a justification for anything?
Corporations should indeed refrain from antagonizing people.
Don't worry, Trump will die in prison either way.
Why do you wish him well ? The orangutan deserves to have his brains shot out by a Republitard carrying an AR-15.
Now that would be divine justice.

The sad fact is that most people who want to own a gun by definition have mental health issues.
Nope. The fact is people who are afraid of guns have an irrational phobia. And that is a mental issue.
