I live in the US. I don't hold much hope in gun control changing after recent years. Recent federal and state policy is trending towards less regulation and removal of the previous administrations regulations.
In 2024, estimated 16,576 deaths in the US from guns (excluding suicide, which is a very large addition on top of that), and 499 mass shootings.
This article is about graduate student stipends. Tuition does not have a cost for these students, so the stipend only needs to cover living costs (which as the article points out, it frequently does not).
In CS, graduate students often intern over the summer and can make up for some of the difference.
Tuition is paid by the university, typically from a grant.
> should be taken into account when comparing the goals and motivations of organizations developing various other communicators.
Business or funding models can change for both for- and non-profit organizations. Especially as people move to options that are believed to have better user-privacy, the idea that they do not sell/monetize collected user data today does not indicate what they will do tomorrow.
Unless users have strong evidence that companies are not collecting and/or monetizing this information (which as the OP pointed out, there is for Signal as found in a subpoena), the "billboard" approach towards promising user privacy via marketing and PR is a shallow one at best for non-profits as well as for-profit companies.
Whenever I see an ad flaunting privacy guarantees, I ask myself "How would a honey pot for gathering user's information be advertised?" Exactly the same way.
That said, at the end of the day you have to trust SOMEONE if you want to use digital communications. And there's certainly a difference between facebook and GPG email encryption.
It's just a matter of balancing convenience and privacy for your personal use case.
Starting out of school with a BS in computer science or computer engineering was GS 7 or 8, so around $40-50k/year. The salaries are public for each level.
Additional degrees do not move you off the GS scale.
Reaching the equivalent of executive level can mean moving beyond GS to the senior executive service (SES).
The idea that even spam is does not fall into "content moderation" is very interesting.
A fake Rolex email is an interesting advertisement to some people and belongs in the garbage for others.
Research has shown that buyers of spam advertised products will literally dig through their spam folder to find a store to buy from.
As this (naturally, pun intended) expands to green coffee, açai, news articles about Florida man, and on up to what we see as disinformation, the difficulty in identifying intent becomes equally as challenging.
There's no way to "just host content", and anyone attempting to do this will face a range of laws, user challenges, and more that introduce "content moderation" into the platform.
Some of the conversation occurred on her Slack server, which as of an hour or two ago was still completely open/public via an invite linked shared on Meetup.
The entire server chat log is a few Google searches away.
Right. It was an open Slack group. It's likely the Special Agent is the source of those logs and photos; no need for Slack to confirm anything except for metadata to authenticate the logs (if that's even necessary for yet another nail in the coffin).
