It’s pretty common practice to capture system images from returned employee equipment when they’re fired for cause (at least in the US). But it’s also pretty common for technicians to be forbidden from browsing those files without a very good reason.

The problem with opposing civil rights movements is that reciprocity matters in the real world. People are disinclined to support your rights if they see you as advocating against theirs.

I suspect China is overestimating the strength of their hand. Their economy is dependent on foreign corporations voluntarily choosing to manufacture there. If they start acting like a third-world kleptostate, they'll be branded as unreliable business partners and have to go back to sorting trash.

If he'd said that for-profit news media is the enemy of Democracy, I'd have probably bought a hat.

I’ll leave the semantic arguments to the Latin majors. Russia may see some legitimacy to its claim to Crimean territory, but it’s a self-asserted claim and it should be treated with as much respect as any other self-asserted claim.
Again, I assert that I am mayor of Moscow.

Who on earth is Russia going to sanction that would actually experience a negative outcome from those sanctions?
What is Vlad gonna do, form a coalition with Belarus and Iran to…inconvenience Europe?

I think there’s an assumption in there that one shouldn’t condone bombing a nation for invading and illegally occupying one of its neighbors. I’m for that 100%.

Using nukes invites nuclear war. As pessimistic as I am about humanity, I do not wish for a global nuclear war.

No. Crimea does not belong to Russia. That’s nonsense.

It doesn’t matter what Russia thinks about the property it stole.

Russia's opinion on others' borders is relevant only to Russia.
I think Moscow is part of my estate and that I'm entitled to take as much money as I can from any Russian national I encounter as compensation for Russia's illegal occupation of my house. I don't think that's a crime, so it's not a crime. Is that how this works?

In Ukraine.

Russia is clearly the aggressor here. Why are they firing on UK ships from Ukrainian waters? Sounds like a good way to start a non-nuclear war.
zero_deg_kevin | 4 years ago | on: Russian jets and ships target British warship
What even happened? The ship wasn't in Russian water, so Russia claiming to have fired on it would be admitting to a Crime(a).
zero_deg_kevin | 4 years ago | on: Russian jets and ships target British warship
In line of sight to whose military base? This ship was operating in Ukrainian waters off Ukrainian territory.

Is it dishonest for reporters to report factually-accurate on sensational crimes if the reporting leads people to believe sensational crimes happen often? Which circle of hell do I end up in for posting about Shark Week on social media?

Where does the article suggest that the AIS data was spoofed by the Russian side? I see a suggestion that it was spoofed, but not by who.

I regret following this advice in 2018. I have way too many SaaS applications that, 3 years later, still don’t support Ed25519 keys. The errors are never helpful, and each time I’ve had to troubleshoot the issue, it’s cost me at least half a day.

Lawyer up and prepare for an unsatisfying result. Unless you’ve got deep pockets and a lot of time, they’ve already won.

You can invent whatever moralizing obligation you want, but I don’t think it’s reasonable expect an organized effort from the {$outgroup} community to defend the rights rights of the people who designated them the outgroup.
