This is a cool technique and super interesting. My little rtl-sdr dongle just became more powerful. At the same time, I hope this doesn't result in abuse of the spectrum followed by tightened regulations on the cheap dongles. Please be

Thanks for posting, I appreciate this. Over the last couple of years I've been trying to improve my PHP workflow after being exposed to skilled rails developers. This guide is a big productivity improvement over my old habits of settin

That was the first thing that struck me too. There's some irony about these showing up on the streets of DC. New technology only stays in the hands of "our team" for so long before ultimately showing up on our doorstep. Espec

College provides (and usually requires) courses specifically focused on topics like business ethics, philosophy of law, environmental philosophy, environmental ethics... How much any one person takes these courses to heart is up to them, bu

I've begun to wonder if the double standards and hypocrisy are a symptom of our industry where a college education isn't required and maintaining ethics isn't really encouraged. Sure you might spell out what you're doing

"put your bodies upon the gears" I absolutely agree with you that this is a moral decision for the employees. At a former company I pushed to improve our user privacy and decrease our storage of unused personally identifying infor

Interesting point. I think you're probably right. There's a different emotional impact between being manipulated to consume versus being manipulated in what you think. Of course at the end of the day it's exploiting a similar

This fact has me more confused than anything. What did most people think Facebook was doing... Keeping all the data locked away an never letting anyone make use of it? The interest in that data by political entities should have been especia

A similar thought experiment: If you could somehow pause the universe, create an exact duplicate, then press "play" on both at the same time, would they remain in sync? Would their futures be the same? If so, it implies that any r

I second this notion. It's amazing how, even on a technically literate forum like HN, the posters around here make the same arguments that they /need/ FB to stay connected. Im five years clean from FB and have never looked ba

So it's not a matter of demanding my representatives create new legislation, so much as it is trying to convince them to make my voice (our voices) heard on the national stage. That makes sense.

YT is a difficult site to give up, many sites I would recommend to help pass the time end up linking there (ex /r/mealtimevideos) But off the top of my head: - default sub reddits (news, worldnews) - niche sub reddits (homelab, rt

I think one of the scariest effects will be the new entrenched power of the existing major sites. Building a new Facebook, Google, Amazon, or Twitter after this will be more than a technical and social challenge. There will be literal gatek
