Hickfang | 5 years ago | on: The New Domestic War on Terror Is Coming
Lately, I've come to suspect these terror scares are home grown plots by the state security apparatus, designed to justify their existence.

> .. That's precisely the point of a union. It's an organization to protect its members ..
That's just it, the union is there to represent the interests of the senior officers and no one else.

I call cyber BS on that story!

> What are some cool things that are possible? - extract resources I guess. Is this Russian program trust worthy.
Yes, it's guaranteed to have been backdoored by the NSA.

@scpedicini: "This had to have been one of the most boring articles I've ever read. Flowery, overly prosaic and not a single interesting take away about actual safe cracking - and yes yes we get it insider information trade secrets blah blah blah."
I agree entirely, reads suspiciously like a New Yorker article, they should read such, out loud to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, they'll soon crack.

Is there a non fascist source for the same material?

Hear elRon in his own words. As he once put it, he was “drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and greys” at the time.

Dispensing with all the folksy prose, buy enough lottery tickets and you'll win on the lower draws.

I find it hard to believe Anonymous actually met his advisor. Bret Weinstein has fully called out the tactics.
Hickfang | 5 years ago | on: The future of .NET Standard
The future of the .NET “Standard” .. it'll be a continously moving target, making it near impossible to clone ;]
Of course that'll mean developers are for ever playing catch-up, rewriting code at more expence.

> Why would I assume they want their presence to remain hidden?
Why don't they land in time Square or go on a reality television program?
Hickfang | 5 years ago | on: How UFO culture took over America
Assuming these UFOs are vessels from off-earth and want their presence to remain hidden then why do the space aliens persist in buzzing US air bases.

Watching the video is even more revealing. Future historians will be amazed as to how a border-line aspergers case got away with engineering a virtual monopoly on computing.

> One is MauiKit stylized MAUi and another is .NET MAUI. The acronyms for both are generic enough that this complaint feels like a reach.
Yea, like the Microsoft Palm PC isn't a rip-off of the Palm Pilot :]

https://adhd-institute.com/burden-of-adhd/epidemiology/gende...
“Evidence suggests that the prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or hyperkinetic disorder (HKD), is greater in males than females.”
A more plausible explanation is that those doing the diagnosing are female teachers who perceive the more naturally boisterous play of young males as symptomatic of a mental disorder.
