What "conservative values" are they battling? Sexism isn't a conservative value you twat.

Go has a pretty stupid package manager if it's relying on a URL to deliver binaries to clients. Any code (binary or source) should be signed and signatures cross-checked in a distributed registry. If you think github name resuse is going to stop this you need to switch languages.

It's pretty easy to yank the onstar box in your vehicle. I recommend doing it just for security reasons. A CAN network should absolutely be air gapped.

This is a surprise? The NSA is a weapon, not a charity, so that's ironically the most honest thing they've done. They don't exist to make friends, they exist to dominate.

I get what they're saying, but it's stupid. If you have two groups, one that doesn't smoke anything, one that vapes, the group that vapes would be more likely to try actual cigs.

However, vaporizers themselves are pretty danged safe, and there is plenty of science showing this. Most of the problems with vaporizers are when people modify them so they being to combust the fluid rather than evaporate it.

People use windows for industrial automation??? Scary world!

Literally no matter how many times you tell these people "It's not that we're against net neutrality, it's that we don't think the FCC is the right place to do it" they plug their ears and scream "YOU DONT WANT A 'FREE' INTERNET HEATHEN, IF YOURE NOT DOING IT OUR WAY YOURE WRONG". I'm happy to see them waste their money.

Now if they were to lobby the FTC about the bad business practices of ISPs, I'd be all in. Every month I get a report of the text messages I send. I think every time I hit some sort of network mangement cap, I should also get a report from my ISP of exactly when and why it happened and how I can avoid it. Also no more of "up to speeds of 300mbts", they should not be allowed to advertise burst speeds, but only the steady state download speeds. Finally, if the terms change (new network management practices introduced), I should be able to easily cancel my contract with no penalty, since they were the ones that modified the agreement. With those rules in place, forcing ISPs to advertise what they limit will quickly destroy any market for "fast lanes" except for the people that actually want them.

I mean technically no... nobody cares what I'm saying to my friends on a daily basis. But a private conversation can be spun 1000x ways when you don't understand the relationship or context. ...with extreme amount of sleaze bag lawyers, district attorneys, and predatory prosecutors we have, it's just good insurance to protect your private conversations.

Yep, "light touch" approach usually works out in practice better. If the Goverment would do that with net neutrality, we'd be much better off too ("Sorry, we only buy bandwidth from vendors that don't shape the traffic beyond reasonable measures accordings to FIPS-11231")

Actually I've found that .22lr will slice right through a phone book (from a rifle), but it stopped 9mm and .45acp. Kinda crazy

"Making available theory" I guess if you have enough money, you can convince a court of anything. Sad to see noble country of Sweden fall to this.

3 passwords tries = a lockout is the STUPIDEST "security" scheme ever. At an old job, a disgrunteled person used a script to login to the CICS region with the admin usernames very quickly. They locked out all admins in less than one min. Someone had to physically travel to the data center in another state and use some sort of local console to get in.

I suppose if Texas calls for Pro-AR15 laws in CA, Google, Apple et all would be just as happy to support said bills?

No. Needs to go to the FTC, because Comcast undoubtedly needs to be reigned in on other fronts.
