I don't understand this argument. Embassy's are essentially fancy hotels. There are people locked up in worse place that don't do the shit he does. I find the excuse to be very hollow and I state that as someone that wants him to continue his work.
Funny that not one of the offended parties claims anything he published was fake or a lie. This is pure shoot the messenger to deflect from your own guilt stuff.
Exactly. The whole premise of democracy is dissent and the challenging of power by embarrassing it. By shutting down a famous journalist this way they are saying "We can do this to anyone, anytime." This isn't just bad for Assange, it's bad for everybody.
The premise of democracy is mob rule. That's why we have a constitutional republic and not a true democracy. What we're seeing however is neither a republic nor a democracy but an elitist deep state that was embarrassed and is out for blood looking to hang someone.
Julian's down fall ultimately is that he's a monumental prick. No one likes him and so no one defends him. Even people that admire his work but know him personally are drop dead quiet through all of this because they can't be bothered to give a fuck about the guy. If he didn't have such a malignant personality then he wouldn't be good at what he does though.
I have a better plan: Amazon talks to their shipping partner and tells them to ring the doorbell and actually deliver the package to a person, instead of leaving it on the porch. And if they're not paying enough for that, they should pay them more.
THIS! My god, I had an amazon package come the other day. I was standing in my fucking garage next to my front door and the mother fucker didn't even acknowledge me, just dropped it at my door and walked away. Not the UPS guy, the actual Amazon Prime truck guy.
Worse still, I can now look on my phone and see their truck as its coming towards my house. It'll say "Six stops away" and show me each stop they go to. I could get in my car and follow the guy and just steal every package he drops off at that point.
Housing is becoming more and more unaffordable. More and more people have no job security (relying on "gig" jobs).
Maybe where you live. The rest of the country is experiencing the best jobs market in half a century and new housing projects all over the place. Move out of your shitty echo chamber of a community and see how great things really are.
If it isn't obvious, we are starting to see signs of a recession coming our way.
Such as? Its the best jobs market in 50+ years. The only people bitching about recession are in Silly-Con Valley because all their vaporware is being exposed as bullshit. No self driving cars, no AI, Machine Learning is turning out to be nothing more than really complex and shitty pattern matching. They are nothing but advertisers selling people to other advertisers.
The rest of the economy is fucking stellar and couldn't give a shit less about Facebook, Amazon, Google and Apple.
Economics 101, if you aren't growing you are dying. What the problem is these days, and probably has been for a couple of decades or more, is the expected rate of growth. The bullshit from wall street needs to end.
Justins problem is the complete lack of a father figure and a religious nut for a mom couples with too much fame at too young an age and far far too much money at that age to make him too big to fail. Its a tale as old as Hollywood with all the child actors doped up and fucked up. JB's in that boat, maybe he makes it or maybe he ends up on shitty TV shows like Leif Garrett living out his glory days until he's balding and fat. Time will tell.
You haven't needed root to mount a filesystems in over a decade. Not sure what you mean here. All your user needs is permissions. Pop a thumb drive into your system, no root required.
On a single user machine, privilege escalations are not really that damaging. If you manage to hack into my user account on my Mac (or my Windows PC, or many Linux desktops), you have access to all the valuables. There is just nothing of value outside my account.
Totally different on a server. If you have 100 users on a server, then escalation from one hacked user to the other 99 is a fatal problem.
Now do domain joined systems + lateral movement in the environment. Priv esc is devastating, especially from an APT perspective when trying to establish persistence. Stop trying to minimize this like its no big deal someone just fucking owned your box completely.
If Microsoft was smart they would make LTSC avaliable to the masses to replace their Windows 7 fleets. But Microsoft will probably let hundreds of millons of Windows 7 machines flounder and we will see more wannacrys instead.
Ransomware is installed by end users just as easily on Windows 10 as it is on Windows 7.
Factually incorrect as every Win10 box comes with a decent AV installed and running by default. It is actually much harder to infect a Windows 10 system than a Windows 7 box. Say what you like about their Fischer Price looking OS but they have come a very long way in the security department, especially on Enterprise versions with Credential Guard enabled.
Mozilla has rested stubbornly on their laurels for 20 years.
And by stubbonly resting on their laurels you mean creating an entirely new language and surrounding ecosystem for the sole purpose of being able to write a stable multithreaded browser engine.
Something which no one else managed.
That's pretty much the polar opposite of resting.
No one cares that they wrote a new language. It's completely irrelevant to the choice someone would make to using it. 99.9999% of the people have no fucking clue what the language is, what it does, or why it matters. It was also pointless on Mozillas part. Google didn't need to do it and they are eating their lunch. Maybe if they had just fixed their shit to begin with and not wasted all that time making a new language their browser wouldn't suck?
Mozilla has rested stubbornly on their laurels for 20 years.
You didn't notice that they replaced the entire add-on ecosystem, replaced the JS engine and ripped out tonnes of legacy code? Strange because a lot of people on Slashdot were complaining about it.
No they just took Chromes extension ecosystem with a handful of very small modifications. They rested on their laurels.
Firefox is notoriously difficult to use for this purpose. It's why you never see it done outside of just rebranding it entirely like Waterfox and Ice Weasel.
Mozilla has rested stubbornly on their laurels for 20 years. Turning that ship around and making changes will be hard. The other part of this though is that people do not see Google going away any time soon. Using their engine is a safe bet. Mozilla could be dead in a year based on market share, declining interest and a general perception of being last centuries tech. Right or wrong thats how it is.
Also, I have heard and can't prove that Google is incentivizing companies/orgs to use Chrome. I would not doubt if there wa smoney changing hands here.
The straw part is calling such places feminist paradises.
Of course calling it a paradise is ridiculous. That's the point. They govern with their vaginas and try to convince us all it's the proper thing to do. Clearly it isn't as Sweden has shown.
Stopped reading there. The GOP did not contribute or vote for the ACA in any way shape or form. You fuck wits on the left own that pile of shit 100% in every way shape or form. Not one GOP official contributed or was even included in the drafting. That is all you. Own that shit and fuck off.
Where you live politicians spend on schools and spend more on schools then spend even more on schools and they just keep getting worse. Where I'm from we ask Mary and Johnny to pay their own kids schooling and use the money however they fuck they want without leeching off of the rest of society like fucking parasites.
You want kids? Great, have as many as you like. Not my fucking job raising them for you. Educate your own kids and fuck off.
Every one of those credit unions deposits your money into one of those banks you loathe so much. In the end, the banks get the money no matter where you put it.
As for your customer service complaints, I know plenty of shit credit unions too.
Storage absolutely is a problem. I have to buy my wife the largest capacity because she takes pictures and videos nonstop of the kids and family. She can fill her 256GB iPhone in a weekend. I have it setup to upload photos and videos to OneDrive and then remove from the device but even then, she can fill it faster than it uploads, especially if shooting 4k.
I can get away with a base model no problem but my wife can't and a lot of other people can't either for the same reasons. We used to store this shit on our computers but more and more we're doing it on phones.
Except its not really a conspiracy. This is why Huawei is banned for gov use in the USA. The NSA and CIA have been found to tamper with US equipment in customs on its way to other nations. China has done the same a number of times.
Phones may be different but there is a lot of history of this with other tech.

It has syntax, stores variables, instructs a system to do things. Not seeing an issue. Especially when the "L" in SQL is for LANGUAGE.
How does economic illiteracy like yours get modded up? Crazy

Fixed that for you

How many of those 800,000,000 were voluntary installations or upgrades?
Who cares? They were upgraded. Thats all the metric says. Stop trying to read shit into it.

and offer them jobs in gov't run factories building solar panels.
So you're literally a fascist then? This is what Hitler did with the car industry. Funny how the green energy people think this is all something new.
