It seems pretty simple to me. If corporations are allowed to outsource our jobs to cheaper workers, we should be allowed to buy cheaper products from overseas.

A lot of these tech companies were given state and local tax breaks in exchange for employing people in those areas. If these tech companies have decided against employing people, it's time to start clawing back those concessions.

More importantly, their engineers are generally paid like shit, comparatively. I've known a lot of British engineers who have come to the states for the better stock options and compensation. If you want world-class feats of engineering, you need world-class engineers.

Yes, but he later invented a substance that could weaken Superman, so he had that going for him.

There's a better way of slowing monetary velocity without the Fed risking crashing the economy into the ground. Let's just make billionaires and billionaire corporations pay their taxes for once. Most of the excess money sloshing around is going towards the 0.1% crowd anyway. Of course, it's the American Way to subsidize the rich with money taken from the poor, so this isn't even being suggested.

I'm also struggling to find the "illegal" part. Is it illegal for a Taiwanese citizen to work remotely for a Chinese company? Is it illegal for them to work remotely for a Dutch company, if a Chinese company sets up a Dutch subsidiary?

I'm not saying it's not -- just wondering why the article didn't go into more detail about which laws they're breaking. I mean, I'm American, but I assume as long as I pay US taxes on my income, that I could work for a company physically located in France or Japan.

Lead added to gasoline contributed to a ton of mental health conditions across the United States until it was discontinued. Until the lead was banned, we had no idea of the widespread impact of the damage caused. It's entirely possible that the various brain disorders that the elderly encounter are made much worse by the pollutants in the air, and we won't know how badly we're being affected.

You know, I thought these ransomware hackers were pretty all right guys. But now that I find out that they're pro-Russian -- I must say, I don't care for them one bit.

"Fuck off," replied the people.

It's not a gamble if you're guaranteed a return. When these reckless companies that donate massive amounts of money to politicians fail, the US government has been shameless about propping them up and bailing them out with taxpayer money. If you know you can bribe a politician for a nominal fee in exchange for socializing your losses and privatizing your gains, all-out recklessness becomes a winning strategy.

I can only think of two reasons why Gilmore's removal from the EFF so secretive:

1: He's gone a bit crackers, and they're not saying more to not tarnish his stellar reputation late in life.
2: The EFF believe that many people would agree with Gilmore, and they want to move away from the example set by decades of Gilmore's superb leadership.

The list of Gilmore's previous accomplishments have greatly influenced my previous donations to the EFF. If these ideas have somehow become "troublesome" for the EFF, I need to know in order to adjust my donation behavior.

I really miss Android's ability to root, mostly for the ability to efficiently block ads with your hosts file (and the ability to record calls, which came in handy with a car warranty dispute.) Android's major advantage used to be its empowerment of power users and the technically minded -- your phone was basically a computer in your pocket, not a toy. You had full system-level access, sd-card support, the works. Lately, between changes in Android and increasingly onerous manufacturers, you're no longer allowed to really own a phone you spent up to a thousand dollars on. It surely won't be long before Android disables blocking by Blokada.

That's not for lack of trying. See the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
If it weren't against the law, car hoods would absolutely be sealed so that only the dealerships could repair them. Hopefully we can get that kind of consumer protection for our phones as well.

Because the blockchain is public, we know all the blocks that passed through this bad actor -- they were at one point registered to myfirstferrari. We can declare these coins as "radioactive", instructing our systems to not buy coins or fractions that had ever been owned by him or any of the other malware-powered miners.

This sounds like it would make a really interesting project, scaled down. Anyone know of a good hobbyist microscope with a movable stage that a USB camera would play nicely with? It would be fun to step the stage over X and Y for a slide of, say, pond water and create a classifier to determine what's in it.
