GTalk didn't surreptitiously invade your privacy well enough. None of Google or Facebook's products are truly "free".

We already are cyborgs. We just haven't implanted our augments yet, and haven't come up with a direct neural bus. We communicate with them via touch and sight instead. Which of the following transitions is more world-shaking? 1) G

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. They almost certainly do not have privacy as a central focus beyond its utility as a marketing bullet. It's just more embrace, extend, extinguish. Facebook is doubling down on Messenger. They don't w

“Ad blocking is a detriment to the entire advertising ecosystem,” Paul Verna, an analyst at the research firm eMarketer, said in a statement. Yes, and the entire advertising ecosystem is a detriment to the internet. Crafting more "comp

Good. I'm done being nice to advertisers. They are actively poisoning the internet in more ways than one. They had their chance to work out better ways to advertise, and they instead redoubled assaults on attention. This is getting ins

Maybe I'm alone in this but I refuse to have always-on microphones in my home. I will never be an Alexa customer, the value offering is fundamentally not worthwhile to me. I really hope development on this isn't at the expense of

Wow. It has an austere and distant beauty, like whale calls. I wonder what it means.

Search is the one you should really stop using when possible. I've found DuckDuckGo's general search to be only okay, but bang patterns are very helpful since I usually want to search stack overflow or another site directly anyhow

Random aside: the IKEA mail catalogs are actually very well designed and nicely printed. They're one of the few catalogs I actually keep. They don't feel consumeristic and actually have a lot of neat furnishing ideas, even if you

Clearly, absolutely no one saw this coming, nor did anyone warn us. :-) How else do you explain how woefully unprepared we are?

Because generators may be implemented with delineated continuations but they are not themselves the same thing.

It would really be interesting to see something like a "personal SOLID server" that runs on your phone, and is reachable in IPv6 only (or through tunneling via "DNS for people", replacing phonebooks conceptually and hand

It still pains me to see that Mozilla Persona failed.

This is the correct answer and best practice. Be conservative in what you accept and liberal in what you produce.

I thought Lisp was the best language though, you're telling me it's the worst? :-p

Tipping is in my mind toxic to long term growth of ride sharing. It makes the user have to think, it's just bad UX.

Because alcohol laws don't tend to get enforced unless there's a problem, because most of Southern Europe operates on a "village and neighboring villages" field of view and it would be socially uncouth. Weed on the other

I should clarify I'm supposing that by opioid they mean morphine based opioids.

This was the story with heroin, oxymorphone, codeine... Practically every generation was in theory safer and actually turned out to be much worse.

I wish it was considered acceptable to provide bar charts of relative self assessed competency with a set of tools. With error bars of courses.

I suspect that's the real plan here. Use the auction to stir up attention and blackmail any state actors implicated by these files into hushing the whole thing. Hence the open ended termination.

It's somewhat odd to see the author gloss over the fact that ragtime began as a guitar style...

I'm reminded of the Orson Welles "documentary" F is for Fake. I might have to rewatch it tonight.
