Not true.

Science says, i can disprove your claim, by providing a example that falsifies your claim.

Outside it is raining, I dont like rain. This rain is not blamed on climate change, therefore, your statement, "Absolutely EVERY undesirable weather phenomenon is blamed on climate change." is demonstrably false.

Furthermore, nothing in global warming, prevents other extreme events (even local extreme cooling).

LinkedIn is surely disclosing age in some ways as well, nevertheless, I get more job offers then ever. I'm currently over 50.

Good companies, select people based on past performance, as it is the only reliable predictor for future performance. Hip Young Startups, that do age discrimination are being silly for no reason, and it will hurt them.

Not me.

How exactly, do you know this divide isn't escalated largely by these actions, and how do we know it's ONLY 47 accounts?

I for one, remember quite vividly how all of a sudden, even here on /., after the Ukrainian invasion by Russia, there was a sudden influx of almost trollish proposals of idiotic theories, how it was really the CIA (f.e.).

Troll factories are real. Russia is at info-war with us. And they are really really good at it.

One could argue that limiting certain -type- of speech, f.e. the bittorrent protocol, (or a message to 4chan boards) is certainly not in line with the constitutions free speech protections

Furthermore, limiting the -type- of guns (lets say we ban 50MM cannons from being owned by citizens) is in no way a limit of the spirit of said gun right.

And who are you kidding really? When the US army has nukes, and an enormous army, how is your little gun going to save you from an evil Gubberment?

Comment War (Score 1) 41

You guys are refusing to ack it, but you are at WAR. The cyber WAR is already started with Russia. Make no mistake about it.

Election trolling is one thing, fishing for NSA secrets is another. Troll propaganda yet another. There have been reports of GPS interference near the Russian coast. Several US warships have already been involved in major accidents. Those might be explainable by sheer incompetance of the US Navy apparently current, but dont close your eyes for external influences.

Oh, and do prey tell, do these "independent tests" look for backdoors? Oh no they dont now do they? They look for effectiveness in finding viruses.

You do realize, that an effective tool, can still contain backdoors?

Nobody is trying to argue that Kaspersky is sending sensitive info. The spies just know, the Kaspersky codebase is tainted. And now you know too. But you chose to ignore that.
