Sadly, that seems to be the case. Cambridge Analytica did far worse than Obama's team. They lied about the purpose of the app to steal social graph data. But fundamentally, the abuse of social graph information is the same. They may

This statement doesn't go far enough. Its clear that Cambridge Analytica mislead those of the purpose of the app that it asked to download it. It then used this data to improve advertising target ting during the election. Facebook ne

I'm glad that a light is finally being shined on the sliminess of facebook's business model and that the public are starting to understand what an ugly company facebook is. I am dismayed at the state of journalism that it took unt

It may not seem unfair to you and I, who have skills and knowledge that keep us highly employable. I think in its totality trade has globally reduced poverty, and improved lives globally. But that doesn't mean that there are not peopl

I agree. However, it only works when trade is fair. Overall, what has happened is that low skill and unskilled jobs have gone to where labour is the cheapest. This has benefitted the poorest of the poor, at the expense of poor people in f

It is borderline criminal. If they were not such a large organisation they would be charged with facilitation. They are knowingly allowing the sale of counterfeit goods. You go down to a street corner and sell knock-off Prada bags and you

I've basically stopped buying things from Amazon because it is so hard to tell where your goods are coming from. With co-mingling even if you buy from a legitimate seller it is impossible to ensure that you get a legitimate product. I

If you are looking to block IP addresses, you can always use pf. Its built into macOS. It does require some command line knowledge.

I meant in terms of performance and nativeness. I was thinking of like Netbeans and Eclipse, which were both great IDEs yet sucked with performance (i.e. start up time, memory consumption) and fitting in with system idioms.

Look, I was being a bit snarky. I think all apps that are not native, or don't follow system convention, create an impedance in that they don't always follow system conventions, or something about them doesn't work exactly a

Quillette asked a bunch of people who are in the fields quoted by darmore and they mostly agreed that the science quoted was accurate[1]. There is evidence to show that as economic equality increases, gender diversity skews more. That is,

I'm not sure why you are worrying. APFS doesn't checksum data, only file metadata. So its barely better than HFS+ in terms of data integrity

The only thing I worry about is, if Amazon does decimate the retail industry, then where will young people find employment? Youth unemployment in Australia is already quite high at 12.7%. If there is further erosion of the strength of indu

Its the same concept. If a user can't use his computer because of a local DoS its still a security issue. To make this really simple, imagine if I ran a fork bomb on one server. That makes the server unavailable for users who want to
