Google did nothing about Israeli co-workers at Google sending me messages such as "Do you support Hamas?" They targeted me because I +1ed a memegen post mourning civilians who have died in Gaza. I'll even explicitly say this:

I was once a security engineer at Google. So many people really believed ad blocking is like, actual theft. Got into an argument about that with my manager once lol.

Adblocking is a security necessity. The FBI has recommended the use of adblockers as well. Do your family a favor and install UBO on their devices.

Yep. There is no silverbullet. All these systems are doing are just increasing areas where a vulnerability in logic can happen.

I've seen in history classes that people wondered why didn't anyone protest IBMs involvement with Nazi Germany at the time. I think we're seeing how that mentality forms, today.

Okay the problem is that there is a competitor to Boeing that’s seriously better than Boeing in its track record recently.

For any domains really. Your best bet is something like Dnscrypt or DoH that exposes a resolver locally on your full network.

by aaomidi 3y ago
Thing is, with DNS, the ISP can just intercept your DNS requests anyway. Turn on DoH imo

We’ve never really had legal and regulated drug use other than mostly coffee and alcohol. The same illegal drugs used by the lower echelons of society is the same as the ones used in higher echelons of society. You’d be hard pressed to find

Legal & regulated drugs generally don’t cause as much damage as legal & regulated gambling.

It’s really amusing when tech people who have a full understanding of singletons and basic statistics always refer to themselves when making a broader statement about society. I always wonder why people seemingly can’t apply their experienc

The entire value add of Best Buy was the fact that it was a physical store. They did not have the expertise to compete with Amazon. They never paid the Amazon wages, or made the Amazon offices. They never had the presence in schools like Am

Those same Americans travel to Switzerland and are amazed at the level of good public transit. Americans who have never left this country (the vast majority) have no idea how competently ran government services can look like. We also have a

Actually, articles like this can kneecap the service using regulatory pressure if enough people don’t want to even wait for “factual analysis” since that’s actual human lives on the line. HN talks a lot about “we need FDA to preemptively bl

Pretending that capitalism doesn’t kill people doesn’t really help move the conversation. There’s also more options than Soviet Union’s state capitalism and US’ “market” capitalism.
