This code is from 2007, honestly it's not that bad for 2007 standards. I've seen worse code that was written with Node last year

Kind of sad for them to lose complete credibility just to prove that "orange man blumpf is bad"
He wasn't being paid by Apple while he was working on NeXT though (at least I don't believe). I think the issue arises when the person is working for Apple then starts to work on their own company, not sure though

happy yule
sicilian is basically arab anyways.
Fake news isn't just Russian propaganda, it also originates from places like the NYT. Look at the covington catholic situation, Jussie Smollett, saying 17 intelligence agencies agreed when even James Clapper admitted it was three, and so much more. I could write an entire book on things the NYT has been wrong on.
Why should I trust the NYT when they frequently exaggerate and lie about things I know about? Is it unreasonable to assume they also lie and exaggerate about the areas I don't know about?

If you only use hidden services then most of the risks are mitigated to being almost entirely benign.

Pretty interesting, I hope they make something similar for the laptops. I use an x200 with Libreboot to avoid the proprietary software in new Intel chips and the bios. It's still fast since I use Arch with dwm, but at some point in the future I would like to switch.
My guess is that there's no easy way to get bulk telephone data for free. If there was a government service that linked everyone's identity to their telephone number, then it'd be easier to scrape it and publish it online for free. As far as I know there's no easy way to get people's real name from a number besides purchasing a bunch of different marketing/caller lists. This is expensive so you probably can't make a profit just by running ads. Plus I bet Adsense has rules against you running ads on a site that gives away personal info. Just my guess though.
