FTR, I don't get a prefix from them, either. I tunnel all traffic through Comcast via a VPN, though, because I consider them a hostile network, so I don't especially care.

Uh. My hobby is metal machining. Precision is a matter of understanding the physics of what you're doing, knowing your machines, and, well, the machines. I can give you close to 0.0001 tolerances with the machine in my apartment (about

I actually don't mind that. The filter works both ways - it tells me the company in question is clueless about hiring tech talent, so I can ignore them.

Right. It is just like explosives. There is no problem leaving agents of rapid chemical reaction lying around where kids may find them, it is the kids. This also has nothing to do with robots.

Staying fit also helps job performance, as does public speaking. Shall we start a comprehensive list of skills and activities tangentially related to making more money?

It is already happening in the US, just slightly differently. Befitting our "national character", as the Chinese term it, our great wall is made of advertising. Deep packet inspection is here today for Comcast and other ISP custom

I stopped using them over a year ago. Recently, they started spamming me with lots of %-off offers[1]. Just a datapoint; it could be unrelated marketing efforts. Or it could be that they're feeling it. [1] Their mailing list was also b

I do, for frequent access stuff. Work-related things, personal apps that run in various places, frequently visited sites. The trick is to keep the number low, otherwise I'll never use them because they're impossible to navigate. F

And the graphical interface is not only _very_ different, but works poorly in tmux.

I completely agree. I'm surprised by how many people who know about the ME are so blasé about it - it may have some features useful to some people, some of the time, but as a whole the IME is malware. If there were a comparable chip at

You can generally predict Uber's behavior by assuming it behaves like a stereotypical frat house. The behavior is: - Go for it and see if anyone complains - See if ignoring the complainers makes them go away - See if bullying the compl

Given that your example has essentially no similarity with the situation in question, why would you ask? That is not a rhetorical question - I'm pretty sure you're capable of distinguishing the facts of the Waymo case[1] from &quo

1) I kinda doubt Russian hackers code on typewriters. 2) Cyrillic is an alphabet, not magic incomprehensibility dust. There are plenty of Russian speakers who are not beholden to their spooks. 3) Assange has an agenda in addition and orthog

Hard to say what I'd do when I haven't been in that situation, but in a past dispute with a large company, I felt I had the freedom to make them pay for their desired confidentiality. (It wasn't quite like this situation, but

I'd put "non-identifiable" in scare-quotes, but yes. This is a cute publicity stunt, but it won't work. De-anonymizing datasets is generally possible to some degree, assuming the dataset has enough information value in t

Can you point to the coordination and orchestration? Who is the conductor? Extraordinary claims and all that. We've had enough of this hand wave-whispering of dark plots for one year. If you are not going to name the bad actor you thin

Really not that different than kill files, something comment threads still desperately need. I realize I'm well off the curve here, but I'd still love a browser killfile plug in with: - fine-grained cookie management by name/

Run it yourself, or have it managed by someone you trust. As a massively inferior but better-than-nothing fallback, contractual agreements. Otherwise, you can't.

Unless you have a friendly local ISP, I strongly suggest using a third-party DNS provider as well. OpenDNS is lovely for this, or piggy-backing on one that you know actually returns valid results (and doesn't sell the logs) is good. If
