The NSA does not negotiate salaries. You are assigned a pay grade. I don't think you can compare an offer unless it is the final offer before you make a decision.

lohszvu··on VPN service for hosting public-facing services on non-hosting ISP circuits
That's not how networking works. Incoming connections are usually blocked which is what this is for. It punches a hole through your firewall by using an established ssh tunnel to forward traffic over. You don't need to allow incoming anything to use this service

lohszvu··on Mariana Trench: Deepest-ever sub dive finds plastic bag
Used once is referring to plastic bags used to hold groceries and then immediately thrown out. (Not used more than once: ie a garbage bag, pick up dog poop, etc)

So it is comparing 1 reusable bag used 131 times to 131 plastic bags.

Further in the article another study considers plastic bags used more than once, which are much better for the environment.

>I think the fundamental problem with plastic bags is that since they are 1 or 2 use, they are always going to be entering the environment at a rate faster than they degrade. So there is going to be an ever-increasing buildup of plastic bags in the environment for as long as they go on being used.

I think it is much more important to look at scientific studies than what a random person hypothesizes with no evidence to back it up.

lohszvu··on Facebook Bans Far-Right Groups and Prominent Hate Figures
Are you serious? Lies are and should be protected under free speech.

There was a time that the scientific community believed the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. People with different opinions should not be forcefully silenced. The government should not be able to decide which ideas are "lies."

In this case, Facebook can ban anyone they want, but that has nothing to do with free speech.
