Rushing prematurely into precipitate does sound pretty dangerous.

What game-changing insights did the philosophy and political science classes leave out? I'm all ears.

Hoodies are very comfortable.

    HTTPS provides end-to-end encryption

I wonder if that's why it's called Transport Layer Security.

The editing of the dictionary in that book is more troublesome than the surveillance state and propaganda campaigns.

Start a lemonade stand?

Trotting out fallacy names on regular basis isn't going to win you any points.

I read your piece. Your title is clickbait, and you know it.

For a bug in the LucasArts Smush codec? Why didn't you verify it was an mp4/h264 first?

Mp4 is an envelope codec, so it could be both an mp4 and an obscure codec
