Can't stand PowerShell or Bash?
Yeah, I don't know where the *good* Sci-Fi authors went either?
* Does anyone know if Lindsay Ellis' Axiom's End is any good?
* I'm extremely disappointed in Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary. I'm about 2/3 of the way through and it is SO boring.
* I was given Ready Player One as a gift and I'm NOT looking forward to reading given how shit the movie is/was. Are the books any good?
* Apparently the original Chinese book is better then Netflix's adaption of the 3 Body Problem but the series highlights the idiotic nature of the source material so I'm not interested in reading that either.
* Apple TV's adaption of Foundation was decent (even with the changes) but it just reminds me that I miss Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein even more.
SF/Fantasy seems to be the way things are going.
* Netflix's adaptation of Lev Grossman's The Magicians was good.
What I want is a site is where I rate a book I've read 0 to 5 stars and it will recommend similar books that I will like. I haven't checked goodreads but maybe I should?
On my Firefox Nightly I have an extension to set Yandex as an allowed default search engine. Makes it easier to pop up another browser for a session.
Somebody fix that extension to work on mobile, eh?
They don't - something like this needs an Act or Congress.
SCOTUS made up some BS "Chevron Deference" in the 80's which has been abused like this since.

We may like the FTC proposal on this one but with that kind of power and no representation it's only counting the days until they do something we absolutely detest. And then there's no effective recourse.
Weren't the founders and top management of Google citizens of Israel?
It dozen't seem all surprising from that perspective.
These protesters should have gone back to writing code to surveil Americans, I guess?
Sometimes a Good paperback at ThriftBooks is $1 less than a new one at Amazon so I just get the new one.
Weird market!
PS unless the recent printings have been Trust & Safety'ed.
This is nonsense. Cryptography and secret codes have been around for as long as communication. One-time pads were first used on the telegraph in 1882.
I didn't say possible. I said practical. Strong crypto is hard. Secure key exchange is hard.
Governments have been breaking codes for as long as we have had codes.

If I had the money to burn on a Mirai, I could likewise hire a few Mechanical/Chemical engineering majors to build me an at-home electrolitic fueling station.
It's not that hard to find hydrogen sources these days. Some people even have it plumbed to their residence.
The honorable thing to do when you don't agree with the ethics of your employer is to resign in protest, rather than be fired for being a nuisance.
The former says that you have uncompromising integrity in how you act in all areas of life, and are willing to make personal sacrifices to do the right thing, while the latter suggests you're a bit unhinged and a potential nightmare employee.
The old name of Coffee Stain Studios was actually a single studio not multiple so it was a little misleading / confusing.
The new name Coffee Stain & Friends makes this a little clearer.
Even the most professional of officers would be tempted if he was was cheating on him or if someone delivered a credible threat to the safety of his children.
The best way to prevent this kind of abuse is to make it impossible.

I don't see it. For example, cell phone records are only recorded and accessible via warrant, and by presenting that warrant to a provider directly. Same could be done with E2EE data if forced through the cell phone provider's networks.
That would mean an end to E2EE APIs on cell phones and other devices, which may be practically impossible at this point.
Edward Snowden showed that this is not as true as you seem to think it is.

Oh dear lord, the hyperbole. We allow law enforcement access to all other forms of communication with a lawful warrant. So should this particular technology be exempt from that?
Then, let them serve the warrant.
What is different is that for the first time in human history, it's not only possible but it's practical to have encrypted communications that no one can access except for the intended recipient.
All of "the most heinous of crimes" take place in the real world, there is some physical action that can be detected and punished. I don't care if this makes the job of law enforcement harder. I want law enforcement to be a difficult and time consuming job. Idle and bored cops tend to find ways to fill their time and it's never good.

I've been thinking about adding solar panels to my house. I would love if I could get a federal subsidy to do it. However, just like with my student loan forgiveness, I'm NOT giving Biden my vote in exchange.

Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
