It would totally depend on where you live. In Canada after 7 years the debt goes away on most debt. But you have to not pay it for 7 years. If you make one payment in that time it starts over. And they will try and beg you even to make a very small payment. Because it starts the clock again. Once you reach the 7 year mark the debt is wiped from your credit and can not be used against you.

Source: Canadian, walked away from my student loan debt after injury, provincial loan was wiped clean federal loan had to be paid off. Student Visa wiped clean. To be clear I could not work and the bills kept getting harder and harder to pay. I was dying with stress and anxiety about bills. So I stopped paying them and bought food instead. I was young and not prepared for emergencies but it was clear I was sinking. I would like to also add this is NOT a great solution if you can avoid it. Responsible spending is. With the debt, for 7 years I could not get a credit card or take out a loan. If my car died I had to buy a new one right now out of pocket for work. It is not good. So though I had about 20000$ in provincial loans wiped it took me over a decade to pay off the rest of my debt. Today I am 100% debt free and even have a few dollars. The difference in stress levels I live day to day are huge I can not understate how much responsible spending with in your means can do for a person.
I do, and I still wish for more than 24 hours to a day, because of how much work I need to get done every day. I typically get 3-4 hours, with the sweet spot at about 3.5 hours. And I've been doing that since I was about 14. Sometimes I sleep for 6 hours, but that's very rare. Sleeping for 8 hours is out of the question, because there's no way my eyes will remain closed for that long. And I've only used an alarm once, back when I was in high school.

Once I wake up, that's it, until it's time to call it a day again. And I don't drink coffee or take any other stimulant. I only get tired or fall asleep during the day if I eat something that has a high Glycemic Index or too much of something that has a high Glycemic Load.

Breaking up Google / Facebook is obviously not going to work. The services / companies benefit from strong network effects, it's a natural winner-takes-all industry with only a few powerful players.

That doesn't mean that they should not be controlled. I find it completely repulsive how they are able to set non-transparent, arbitrary policy (regarding censorship, payments etc.) that affect billions of people all over the world, who just have to accept it without recourse.
That's great to hear. Unfortunately, his actions haven't really done anything in the US. I wish I could say otherwise, but I haven't seen a single thing change. Privacy still isn't an issue that's on most people's radar. The government still does what it did before and likely a lot more. I have a ton of respect for Snowden, but he severely overestimated how much Americans care about privacy, spying, surveillance, or anything like that they mostly can't even understand.
Citation? I suspect you made that up, to score imaginary internet points.

Here's some data I just Googled:

Credible journalists can reveal key facts derived from the leak while keeping other details secret.

For example, a journalist could verify a leak came from a real FBI agent by checking their badge, and assure their readers of that, but keep the agent's name secret.

Or a journalist given a list of secret base addresses could report the number and countries without revealing the precise addresses.

Also, newspapers might be happier to make a big splash reporting an exclusive, but be less motivated if every other newspaper got the same stuff at the same time :)

Yes that assumes you have use for the camera. Anyone who doesn’t really has no reason to read new phone launch press releases (since about 5 years ago).

I bought a couple of those BLU phones as testers to ensure our apps were usable regardless of device (in an office full of flagship phones this is easy to overlook in “hallway” testing)....I’m not generally a phone snob but I will say that using the BLU phones makes my 4 year old iPhone feel like an ultra luxury rocketship from the future. The difference in performance and quality is remarkable side by side.
Honestly, I don't think so. Particularly on issues that can further develop into VSA vs. "Europe". Every point has a "right" answer, any deviation from that answer puts the commenter in the opposite camp, and the majority opinion controls the discussion by downvoting dissent into whiteness.
Also not an accountant or lawyer, but I think that if you're paying someone by the hour, and directing them as to how they should do they job, they need to be classified as an employee, not a contractor.

This means a W2 instead of a 1099, plus you need to pay them on a fixed schedule, pay social security and medicare taxes (and likely other taxes depending on jurisdiction) on their wages, deduct income taxes, do an I-9 verification at the beginning of employment, change your own liability insurance, etc.

There is software as a service companies that help out with setting this up correctly, but I do see many ways you could do this incorrectly, and land yourself in trouble.

If you're not being stupid about it, you're cutting down mature trees and not trampling the volunteer seedlings. Mature trees (especially coniferous trees) are fairly carbon neutral because they suppress undergrowth. Seedlings capture tons of carbon. So the tax would incentivize emitting much less net carbon. That's the point.
If you have an Apple device logged in to the account then Apple uses its own push notification infrastructure instead of SMS. Apple calls it “Trusted Devices”:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915

Also, SMS is always in-addition to your password. If you forget your password and you don’t have a trusted device from which to reset it, then Apple uses a recovery procedure which requires more than just SMS for verification.

You can also enable a recovery key which will then prevent SMS from being used to reset your password. With a recovery key you need to either use a trusted device or the key to reset your password.
Which makes it hard to distinguish between a real phenomenon, and a rationalization that people employ to frame their consumer choices as superior to others'.
Ok, but considering that you very likely would continue to eat in the absence of meat, the replacement foods usually need cooking, refrigeration, and distribution. These things are not particular to meat and shouldn't factor into a comparison.
Three Ways to Fix the Drug Industry's Rampant Dysfunction
Guess there could be two attack vectors, one that is easier to avoid and the other not so much.

The first one being a targeted attack. Then any ordering of Yubikeys can leave to vulnerable as the supply chain can be intercepted (because they see it's you and switch out the key to a counterfeit one). This can be solved by going to a in-person store and buying it there. Then there is no risk of you being personally targeted as you can go to any store.

The second one, is where all keys sold being counterfeit, which you cannot solve by going to a in-person store or ordering online. Not sure how you could avoid this vector.

I do love the way people are so religiously fanatical about Global Warming they don't care that we have to destroy environments for meat.

It's more important to them that in 100 years time Global Warming might destroy things than the actual destruction now.

That's what is truly disturbing about the comments.
Because finding out that the research on "mind control" continued would be a big scandal, and in the past journalists like Gary Webb and Michael Hastings, who uncovered scandals about the CIA, did not to end well. Probably the CIA didn't kill them, but I'm convinced it contributed to mess up their life enough to disrupt their work. Intelligence agencies around the world consider themselves, rightfully or not, guardians of national interests. If a journalist works to uncover stories that could damage them, she/he may be end up being considered a threat not only to the agency, but also to national interests and that would put she/he at risk. Since there are not enough structures in place to let unjust behaviors on the part of intelligence to be scrutinized, researching on such things is not something I would do without also expecting ill-fated consequences.

He won't actually get a cent from sales until his share goes above whatever his advance was.

That was my point. The article claims to show how easy it is to introduce such a bug in the second snippet, but that isn't true. You need to introduce more bugs to get a security vulnerability.

That must be terribly reassuring to the families of car crash victims.

You can make all the extraordinary claims you want if you never have to prove it, and no one should believe you until you do. You're basically just wasting your breath and letting everyone know you believe in fairy tales.

> Good luck forming a union coz then the company will go poof too

The answer to this is to form a bigger union so that only the bigger contracting companies can survive, and then have high-paid union executives who can negotiate large industry-wide contracts between employer and labor provider that provide some minimal level of protections but largely protect the status quo.

Then, those in the employer camp can donate to conservative causes complaining about unions and regulation, and those in the labor provider camp can donate to progressive causes complaining about evil corporations and lack of worker rights.

From here, the leaders in the two factions will variously ping pong and vacillate and make various and sundry unfruitful negotiations while taking the advice from various lobbyists about how they might improve the state of affairs and generally enrich themselves through back channel dealings with their benefactors from either camp.

When you have ~500,000 registered members there are bound to be a few nutters. Especially when Twitter is involved. Which is where many of the reported instances of antisemitism come from.

Corbyn himself liked a couple of suspect images on Facebook and has been critical of Israel. While still keeping the support of leftwing Jewish organisations (Marx was a Jew after all).

Obviously racism should be called out and dealt with when it is found. To me, over the ~4 years this has been a storey in the press the Labour Party have sufficiently answered all questions.

When you get popular enough with a political movement that threatens the rich elite of any race or religion, the attacks start. It just happened that Corbyn was pretty boring in his personal life, attacking his views on Israel was the only option.
I think it was during press briefings. Particularly when he would discuss the previous administration or working “across the isle.”
Because in most cases you don't want different applications to use different settings.

If you are currently using private DNS server with internal domains and don't know about changes firefox is going to make, firefox will resolve you domains incorectly
while all your tools like nslookup and dig will show correct information.

And then when you do figure it out, you will have to go to every single user and help them fix firefox setup. (because most of such small businesses don't have their own AD)

I first though about blocking it at companies firewall level, but thats tricky, because you don't want to break everything else that uses cloudflare.
I had to pay. I have lived abroad for several decades and when I decided to do some independent contracting I realized that now I have to pay social security. Also, while I generally pay more taxes than an American, every once in a while there is a tax break that I get that Americans don't. In that case I have to pay that amount to the US.
There's a book called Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control by Dominic Streatfeild that goes into this topic well if people are interested.

(And by well I mean takes a fairly sceptical view that they ever really got anywhere, and generally makes the case that the CIA ended up so desperate to counter perceived Russian abilities that they really stopped asking if any of the people they were hiring in this area were either total con-men or just completely nuts.)
Well, other than the minor hassle that they need to know how to issue a W2 and get enrolled for workers comp insurance and pay their estimated taxes for them. None are super hard, but they are barriers for people who aren't used to hiring people, which is the case for I think a lot of self-employed people.

I only finally bothered to learn how to do it all last year when I needed some extra help with projects for my consulting company. Prior to that I just paid a contract CFO to deal with it because it's what you don't know you don't know that gets you sued. So either it's expensive to hire a CFO just for that, or expensive in your time to learn it all when your main goal is to actually get work done that produces revenue.
I mean limited in terms of quantity posted per day; my understanding of Facebook's system is that across all of my friends (or maybe even friends of friends?) there's a lot of stuff posted, and Facebook only picks a subset of to actually show me. I don't know how they decide which things appear in my newsfeed and I don't know what order they're in.

Compared to Instagram where I see every single thing that someone I follow posts (might be because I follow so few people on it). If I want to go back and see one of the posts again, I scroll back in time and eventually find it.

For losing posts on Facebook I’m not talking about trying to find something from a month ago, I’m talking about things that I swear I saw yesterday and now I can’t find it.
