Great - you should then uphold the same standards against pro-CCP users instead of promoting them on this site bud.

100% agree - definitely an unpopular opinion on this site from my experience but I appreciate your post.

Snowden blew the whistle on legitimate information - the other guy did not & that outcome was upheld in court.

Hard to see how you could miss such an important distinction between the two unless you had some other motive.

Sounds a little pre-meditated, if you're that worried why don't you go get tested :) Also I think you would be hard pressed to isolate where your infection originated if you were positive - so you might not have the best luck with suing your co-worker. Also that just sounds a little nuts.

So you have a belief - the same thing as a person who believes in Jesus? The benefit of having an explanation is it doesn't matter at that point what one believes.

I like the sound of that. I hear the words "according to someone familiar with X" far too often. Not interested in speculation, hearsay, gossip, scapegoat to promote one's own intentions...Lazy and agenda ridden through and through.

Thanks for your personal story - I love reading stuff like this.

That seems like quite a stretch. The difference between having the source code and not having it is night and day as far as exploring potential vulnerabilities...which is one of the strengths of open source as you point out, but this code was not intended to be || written as open source hence the panic. Feel like you missed the mark on this one.

Seemed intuitive to me. It's a descending listing of least creepy to most creepy - the emoji changes as you scroll to denote this. If you leave the page and return the emoji will show as a smile until you scroll again, regardless of location on the page, but otherwise I don't see your first point.

How about they use some of that authority to stop these diseases from festering in cesspools of animal & human waste repeatedly in their country? Pivoting from allowing this to occur to saying they have an advantage or painting them in a positive light is so backwards to me. Hopefully all the dissenters being tortured in black boxes over there are safe from the virus at least.

>Shadow is a firm that makes custom software for Democrats and progressives.

If I can ask, why the specific nature for their clientele? Isolating your solutions to a specific political party seems strange to me especially if the emphasis on making money. If anything, money normally supersedes political leanings at the end of the day which makes the whole fiasco even stranger to me. Wouldn't you want to provide a solution for both parties by default? Not doing so seems nefarious on it's own.

It sounds like pairing products with political leanings is not a good business decision? Which may explain where all the 'hate' is coming from - it's just bad business and sows the seeds of doubt in their credibility in the minds of many.

I am in full agreement with you.

Also, it seems like the amount of drivers on their phones, texting and driving or what have you, is at an all time high today. I work in an urban area and the amount of times I've missed a light because someone is on their phone stopped in the lane with a green has begun to give me legitimate road rage that I have never experienced in my life until now in my late 30's. I would trust the car more than the average person at this point.
