So why are Texas and Florida looking for billions of dollars in disaster relief? We should tell them to stop whining because the hurricane was tame as shit, right?
Because hurricanes happen, and this year was the first hurricane season that wasn't a joke in over a decade.
And you're committing the same error. You're appealing to authority and claiming a consensus while selectively choosing who is an authority or not and rejecting predictions as not being part of the consensus in order to construct the imagined authority and consensus.
It's like flipping a coin after collecting 10 guesses, then claiming the 5 incorrect guesses weren't part of the consensus and weren't from approved guessers.
Show me one single model that has predicted temperature changes accurately for 5 or more years.
And none of those were mainstream positions that had scientific consensus. You've confused yourself by taking many different views and bundling them together as a single mind. It's entirely possible for there to be 10 different wrong views on climate change but still end up with climate change being real.
You want him to obey the consensus because it's a consensus but ignore the consensus because the people contributing to it are routinely proven to be hilariously incorrect?
We haven't had a hurricane season worth a damn since Katrina, actually. Hurricanes have been tame as shit until this year. (And don't get me started on "Superstorm Sandy", which wasn't even a hurricane when it hit New York. It only cost so much because NYC was unprepared, and it was hyped up because it was NYC and the media fucking LOVES NYC.)
But aren't we already suppose to be under ten feet of water?
Yeah! And didn't science say that man could never fly or go in space? Because science never gets better and past theories will always be right forever!
I don't think anyone with a brain ever said those things. We saw birds flying all the time. It was just a matter of weight and power. We saw the moon and later were able to measure its distance. It was just a matter of escape velocity.
What next? Flat Earth? Sound barrier? People like to make false attributions about claims that were never seriously made. They do well in shitty chain emails.
Some guy went around probing for and disclosing vulnerabilities and pissed off a dentist's office, which then prompted the FBI to raid his house under the computer fraud and abuse act or whatever. Guy claims he was white hat (I don't know if he was or not), but the color of your hat doesn't change the legality of it. I don't know to what extent he actively probed the dentist's office (there were 2, the second one got mad), so he may not be guilty of anything, but the FBI still has to investigate.
The same FBI agent that raided his house was also involved in the case against the guy who sent a flashing GIF to someone who has epilepsy.
I believe that somehow gave the first guy (who got raided) the full name of the FBI agent involved in raiding his house. He then went full-retard and started cyber stalking the FBI agent and his family, posting all info he could find via Facebook, Google, etc. onto Twitter. Allegedly he posted shit to their Facebooks as well, but again, I don't know if that's true.
Then there was a smiley face tweet from 1 person to 4 others (including the cyber stalking guy). The FBI wants info for those 5 accounts. It seems like it's a weak claim from what we can see, as they need to prove intent to kill, harm, or surveil to bring charges. But they don't need to prove that to get the info relevant to the investigation.
If he (or any of the 4) did such a thing via Facebook or other comments, then this is a non story. There may be DMs (or other accounts, info, etc. related to this shit) between some of them that do include intent to harass the FBI agent and his family. The FBI may suspect this or they may know it but need parallel construction.
Seeking information relevant to an investigation to out makes sense, assuming whoever issued it decided there was enough reason to ask Twitter for that info (and assuming that a judge looks at everything when Twitter fights it).
Implicating 5 people based on a smily emoji? No, not at all. A guy cyber stalking an FBI agent and his family being closely associated with 4 people? Yup.
It's likely the FBI is out to get this guy, but I can't really blame them until they do something wrong. They haven't, so far. Even the initial raiding of his house, while shitty, is expected and understandable in the "OH NO HAXERZ" world we live in.
If they're bringing a case against him for being a white hat and reporting vulnerabilities, that would be wrong. If they're end up bringing a case against him for his tweets of public info with no other evidence of intent to kill/harm/surveil/harass, that would be wrong. However, if they find evidence of this guy (and any of the others) conspiring to harm or harass or surveil someone? I won't be crying.

Unless they've shat out a spec sheet, or you can statistically disprove their claim to a high degree of confidence, they can say whatever they want and change whatever they want.
No need to be sorry. That was an era where you couldn't afford a 2nd tv or whatever you need.
I'm happy to be in this era where I can have new shiny stuff all the time at a fraction of the cost. Trust me.... the premium you paid for the quality of old isn't worth it.
It was an era when you could afford a house, a car or two, a spouse who didn't have to work, 2 or 3 kids, a dog, annual vacations, medical expenses, retirement (often with a pension), etc., all with a high school education. Being poor meant you had a single car, limited yourself to only 1 kid (or you had too many), your spouse may have had to have a at-home job or part time job and you had shitty vacations or no vacations. Being broke meant you had to move in with family until you got another job.
It was also an era where most households didn't really see a point in having 2 TVs.

Or the most superior version of all: BitTorrent. Offer a fallback slow link for people who can't use a torrent. Hell, do it as a Google Drive / Dropbox / Box / One Drive / whatever link.

Speculation in Bitcoin may very well be a bubble, but it's a bubble that's been going strong for a long, long time. The actual Bitcoin network and currency provide a useful, valuable service outside of any speculation layer running on top of it.
ICOs and their older siblings "premines" are a true mark of bullshit. When the Ethereum bubble pops, almost every single altcoin (i.e., all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) will crash and burn overnight. In the Bitcoin world, currencies with a significant premine were universally known as scam coins. In essence, the creators of the currency decided to print themselves tons of free currency before opening the doors to the public. ICOs are a similar deal. It's like buying stock in a company that doesn't exist. Most commonly, they're an extension of Ethereum and are a mountain of nothing, pegged to nothing, and sold for real money or Ethereum (which is quickly sold for real money).
Setting up your own ICO for some token running in Ethereum (along with a shitty site that does nothing but let you send those tokens to other idiots in the ICO) is a turnkey operation, which is why they're so prevalent.
The Democrat got 2.8 million more votes for President, but lost because of affirmative action for small states (aka the Electoral College).
How cute. You think this is a democracy. This nation is INTENTIONALLY designed to keep member states mostly sovereign and to prevent mass idiocy in populous states from tanking the whole union.
The reason Denuvo shilled comments from the very poor asian cracking group 3DM was because they paid off the group to release the comments to suggest Denuvo would be worth using in the future. In reality 3DM had one half-hearted kid cracker who had made some progress with early versions of Denuvo, but had already moved on due to real life issues.
For 3DM, taking Denuvo's money was a no-brainer- they were never going to release decent cracks anyway.
They paid 3DM off after their first 2 cracks (I believe 1 was really a workaround/bypass). 3DM then announced they were stopping for a year. Other groups started cracking Denuvo's shit faster and faster (as mentioned elsewhere, due to 64-bit debugging improving). Denuvo is dead.
For instance, as a casual gamer I'm not going to fuck around downloading cracks (that are probably lost in an ocean of fakes infected with malware)
