There are three kinds of men:

In other words, people with a smaller brain region are less capable of speaking the truth.
Somehow, Nazis got a press so bad even Wolfenstein won't show a swastika, yet we have hammer&sickle proudly displayed on major government parades, Stalin and Lenin widely worshipped, and so on. It's scary how investing in some propaganda can whitewash even the most murderous ideology in world's history.
Use RequestPolicy. It makes both AdBlock and Ghostery obsolete -- by referencing 3rd party servers on an opt-in rather than opt-out basis. It might be a bit tedious to use the first time you visit a new website, but almost always it's obvious what needs to be unblocked.
Except that since recently you need a C++ compiler to build gcc, which puts a severe block towards reproducibility: you can write a basic C compiler that can handle most programs in a week (with a plain libc, at least), and get all bits needed to let old gcc bootstrap in not much longer. A basic C++ compiler, on the other hand, is a matter of years.
So tux2 was ready in 2000, and it took 14 years to rewrite it to avoid parents? Oh how much patents help innovation!
When Stalin took over, the genocide was already going on full steam. Putin has no Lenin to build on.
The stock exchange is a zero-sum game, at least in the short term. Contrary to popular views, no profits of the company being sold, nor even dividents granted to shareholders, inject any money into stock exchange -- they change only the perceived valuation of shares, and the only new money comes from the Ponzi effect.
And in a zero-sum game, if someone is skimming, everyone else loses.
I'd expect the most populist countries to start banning real meat no later than 10-20 years after fake meat is introduced.
So eat your meat while you still can.
And there are a lot being eaten by humans actually
Not in the US, where they abuse procedural rules to make horse meat effectively illegal.
If your UPS dies, a suspended machine is screwed just the same. There's rather little point in suspending a server: even ones that are off outside business hours are better off hibernating rather than suspending.
Then what about massive subsidies for coal and oil industries?
Let me know when every single power plant, every car is required to collect its waste and deposit it for storage. Only then you can call it equal.
To do that, the attacker would also need to be able to intercept mail sent towards the real person. You can sign a key without using mail, but that's not what is done during usual keysigning, and asking an innocent person to do so would raise a suspicion. Yeah, intercepting mail is possible if you're resourceful enough, especially without DANE, but that's quite a hoop to jump through. This usually implies an organization, and with that resources, it's simpler for the attacker to find a bunch of shadier people to sign that fake key.
And in this case, the fake key has zero signatures whatsoever. If it had any, they would either be a blob of also-fake unconnected keys, or someone proving his guilt this way.
