  • This is actually the way the law is written. Anyone who aids in any abortion, from the clinic performing it to the Uber driver taking her there – is now subject to being sued by random tattletales. The women themselves are not subject to the same thing.

    They did it this way on purpose. They didn’t want the optics of the State going after these people so they specifically made it so that the State AG would not be involved in all. It would just be a bunch of private busybodies looking to get all into other people’s business.





  • Not really, all it requires is someone to produce a signed message with one of Satoshi’s private keys, which can be easily verified with the public addresses on the blockchain. Whoever produced that message can be proven to possess that private key. Nothing short of that would be believable by the crypto nerds.

    If we presume that Satoshi understood that Bitcoin may be valuable one day and kept the keys private, that would mean that the signer really is Satoshi, or one of his associates or heirs Satoshi trusted wih access. Even if that person wasn’t actually Satoshi, their word on who it is would be considered authoritative.

    Unless it’s Craig. Fuck that guy. Nobody believes him.

    Shit, the over/under was 85 and I took the over.

    Pete deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Particularly now that every other commercial is a betting ad. I think the real reason they kept him out was that they didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of an award speech. Now that is no longer a concern, and they should definitely put him in posthumously.








  • I can understand why the people who performed the attack consider it to be “extremely targeted”. All accounts that I have read say that these pagers were used directly by Hezbollah as an alternative to cell phones, which they believe the IDF have the ability to track. I haven’t seen any reputable source claiming that these pagers were in use by the general population. So they consider these attacks targeted at Hezbollah, because only Hezbollah members should have had them.

    They were not intending to target children or other civilians, but of course when something goes off at a random time like this there is no guarantee that only the targets are in possession of these devices.

    However, I think the attack will end up actually harming Israeli security, for two reasons:

    First of all, they put too much explosive stuff in it. If it were a smaller explosion (or even just a short circuit leading to device failure), fewer people would have been hurt, and they would have more claim to say they were targeting communications infrastructure. But if the explosions were smaller, the attack would not have gotten into the news. I think they made the explosions larger than necessary just to make headlines, without regard to collateral damage. I think that’s the part that would get any other country into hot water as a war crime.

    But more importantly, they have proven to Hezbollah that Israel cannot track these closed pager networks, otherwise they would not have needed to blow them up! So now Hezbollah has learned to open up every pager before deploying, and once they source more devices they have their secure network back.

    So in a few months, Israelis will be in a less secure position than they were before the attack, just because some of their leaders wanted to make headlines.
