I'd bet this type of behavior from the government is what causes "domestic terrorism"...not just the "radicals" mentioned in headlines.
In other news, operational security is just as important as technological security measures. This means not leaving your device unattended, and if you do, implementing tamper detection of some variety. This can be as…
Well... I think meritocracy is perfect, it mirrors evolution in rewarding superior contributors(ie, on their merit). However, being in the "elite" mentioned in the article does not imply you have merit. People in that…

Denying that 10x <anything> exists is usually a shallow defense mechanism for our own egos. We aren't that good at <skill>, so we convince ourselves that no one else is either.
I don't have(and never have had) any social media accounts...ie facebook, twitter, instagram, tiktok, etc. The closest would be an HN account. That said, could someone tell me what I might be missing? Ignorance is…
Try intraday stock/futures/forex trading... it will quickly break the "scrub" mentality the author talks about. You either play to win, or you run out of money and can't play anymore.

Devil's advocate here. The article mentions imminent "massive loss of lives and livelihoods". Wouldn't that lower emissions? ie, we aren't likely to need to keep smog factories pumping out pollution 24/7 when the…

Your comment is 100% spot on. It's not the unhinged criminals with handguns and a couple rifles I am worried about. It's the single pissed off vet who drives a moving truck to a federal building packed to the brim with…
