It's not a black market, it's an awkward grey market. Deal only with the big ISPs. Everyone who emailed me, gee, give me time to reply... more emails than I expected. :) I'll email everyone at the same time later, bcc eve

At least it would all be just a conspiracy theory espoused by tin foil hats until another Snowden shows up.

But 2018 Winter Olympics are in South Korea. Not sure if you thought Beijing was hosting 2018, or if you thought that Beijing ups the censors every Olympics each time. https://www.pyeongchang2018.com

What would the 2018 Winter Olympics have anything to do with anything?

I buy unfiltered Internet for my org. We don't use VPN. It's super expensive. Email me if anyone likes. I prefer not to discuss it in public here because I'm not sure what the ramifications could be. It's a grey area in

Fair enough, but you could not have known that your options would not go underwater either. At the end of the day, options let you become an investor on the cheap. Hindsight is 20-20. I think the only nice way to do it is a long window for

A 'Captain Phillips' executive identified the tone of the film as a source of discomfort for censors, particularly “the big Military machine of the U.S. saving one U.S. citizen. China would never do the same and in no way would w

They don't burn out either, because it's just work to them and they take regular vacations. Where's the vacation shaming?

From a vendor strategy perspective, that's true. From a web browser market share perspective, that's not true at all.

This comment explains better than I can as to why that doesn't matter. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13268819 Essentially, if a local regional player (or a foreign player who complies with their laws) can compet

Besides the other comments, I never said that it meant that. I was describing the word, not giving the definition.

Formatting my computer and reinstalling Windows was a point of pride for me. I'd laugh about it with my friends. I have no idea why in retrospect. Just one of those things. I guess I grew up after XP was so stable.

The word lineage is boring? It seems to be haughty, lofty, arrogant, and so on.

It can be blocked, but doing so will block google.com. Basically Open Whisper Systems is making a block that much more costly to implement, since Google is ubiquitous in so many different areas. If they can ramp up their homegrown options

The likelihood that Facebook or any other corporation cares about public good more than its own and its shareholders' bottom line is ludicrous. I'm not commenting on whether that's right. I'm saying that's how the s

To be technical, that'd be the second group if it was phrased as "people who like feeling that others are in control", using the word "in" instead of "under".

There is a fourth set: people who like being under control if their lives are acceptably happy, comfortable, and secure.

What sucks about team sports is that few people who play at a high level care to play with someone who can't keep up. So you need to do something to get to a certain level at least. I play soccer and basketball weekly, and I think the

That company likely has culture issues then? I've never even heard of anything like that before. I've heard people say that their HR doesn't understand them or what they do, but this is taking it to another level.

I wonder if you just weren't pushing yourself hard enough. Ellipticals are fine, especially if you have bad knees, but they're not going to push your body as hard as other stuff. I'm working out these days, and after a couple

That's the argument for racial profiling. Not making any argument for or against, just pointing out something interesting. I didn't think about the topic in this context before, as to whether or not it's rational. It's a

Unfortunately, many people are not good at grieving and healing. I wish there was a way for people to learn how to do that instead of rely on fakes. But not sure what the answer is when they're so emotionally distraught that they defau

You should entertain the notion that the word means something entirely different to religious people than to others. You have a very narrow definition and/or experience of what religious people are like. You should entertain the pos
