jamespo··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
How much has "Hollywood" paid to people that make films and how much has Kim paid? Rough figures will do.
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
Sexual assault is very hard to prove, and attitudes like yours continue to show why.
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
Except the UK has done similar and more under the "special relationship", I didn't ask if Sweden has a perfect record.
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
How were the chances higher? Sources? I think you've made that up.
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
If only this could have been decided in something known as a "trial".
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
Yes, I remember his bad faith offers, thinking that he has the right to decide on how a sovereign country's justice system should work. What I don't remember was any reasoning on why he thought it more likely that he'd be extradited from Sweden to the US rather than from the UK, who are particularly close?

Anyway, I see you've drunk the koolaid and are in full defense mode, so I'll leave you to it.

How can it be "proven" if he flees justice?
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
I see you're trying the same thing. To answer, no but stealthing does.
jamespo··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
Blog piece. What he did is known as "stealthing" and it strangely doesn't address that at all?
jamespo··on OpenAI didn’t copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice for ChatGPT, records show
It's an alternative explanation all right
jamespo··on Starting emails with "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" will fool the filter
I've recently had to zero score SpamAssassin ENCRYPTED_MESSAGE rule as it's being exploited. Also I don't receive any encrypted messages.
jamespo··on Attackers spread backdoor via eScan antivirus software update process
I'd hope these other critical services at least sign their packages
jamespo··on Linux fu: getting started with systemd
Why do you want ssh if you don't have network :)
jamespo··on XZ backdoor story – Initial analysis
The VPN is just part of the picture (sock puppet accounts complaining about speed of dev, no meaningful history of other contributions from the dev, no trusted "personal network" for the dev, etc) that in hindsight should have raised red flags.
jamespo··on The race to replace Redis
I suppose they're getting at why was it important that Redis was open source to you? Under the assumption someone else would be responsible for free updates?
jamespo··on Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
"Jigar Kumar" seems to have disappeared
jamespo··on The race to replace Redis
5% of contributions is not “mainly” from AWS
jamespo··on The race to replace Redis
Not for redis the company if they follow mongodb’s trajectory
jamespo··on Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison
I think part of the issue and what the judge didn't like is he doesn't seem to have any remorse.
jamespo··on Cloudflare loses 22% of its domains in Freenom .tk shutdown
probably not, but very little of value has been lost
jamespo··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
People can justify the price of an iPhone as they use it ALL the time.

sounds like an intel mac

"Don't take advice from 1 hour old accounts" is another tune I like
jamespo··on Nvidia adds $277B in market value, Wall Street's largest one-day gain in history
Other companies are catching up or surpassing on batteries, see Toyota
jamespo··on Show HN: htmz – a low power tool for HTML
Part of this is backend devs and admins like telling frontend devs what to do
jamespo··on KYC. No, Thanks
That isn't hiding behind these laws though necessarily. I've heard of this from Paypal and I'm sure it happens, on the other hand I'm sure there is lots of abuse and we only ever hear one side of the story.
jamespo··on KYC. No, Thanks
Are payment processors hiding behind KYC & AML laws? Do they even need to provide justification?
jamespo··on Apple Vision Pro review
The os was simple, it played music, that's it?
jamespo··on Apple Vision Pro review
They were both significantly better than alternatives and didn't cost 7x as much as this does vs meta quest 3.
jamespo··on Apple Vision Pro review
First iPod and iPad were fine.
