Uh, this is basically real news though. Even just this week my company asked why people aren't taking risks and submitting "side projects" and what they don't want to hear is "because four rounds of layoffs in a year has absolutely crushed anyone's willingness to do so?"

Work(s/ed?) for Sony as of 2013 and worked on Planetside 2. Pretty cool!

I carved "On" into mine, it's exactly opposite of what you described.

I'd argue that a light switch has an indicator that shows the current state, separate from the switch.

I don't know what a great one is but I have an example of a terrible one:

the green/black glue gun has the worst on/off switch I've ever encountered.

You can't see it in the picture, but the actual switch that arrow is pointing to has no text on or around it, so you're left to pick up or down, plug it in, and wait a few minutes see if you were right.

Well yeah, a militia is a bunch of armed people with a goal.

A well regulated one knows how to use those weapons effectively, and as a group. In my opinion the law as it stands falls short of the mandate: The US should provide public weapons training and make sure its citizens know what the hell they're doing. That might actually save a few lives that are currently lost to accidents.

The number of 80 year olds that know what cryptography is AND know that it's a proper solution here is not large. I'd expect an 80 year old to say something like "we should only look at pictures sent by certified mail" or "You cant trust film unless it's an 8mm and the can was sealed shut!"

Funny you say that, this pope famously refuses to use the papal throne.

Should the denial of federal funding for the inevitable sea wall be hundreds of pages of redacted text? It's a conundrum.

You have full throated agreement from me.

I'm hoping they do their fucking jobs when that case lands in front of them, but it's a slim hope.
