I grew up in a third world country in conditions that would be considered poverty here. Every day I'm thankful to be part of the 1% of the global population whose skills are in demand and who earn big bucks (relatively). I don't n

I think your fundamental assumption is based on "possible" performance. I would argue that required performance has flattened over the last few years. A nexus 4 is a perfectly serviceable phone still. I think as technology improve

I'm reminded of this quote from Steve Yegge's platform rant[1] ... I'll argue that Accessibility is actually more important than Security because dialing Accessibility to zero means you have no product at all, wh

I wrote my own hack to do the same: https://github.com/aksrikanth/settings/blob/master/bin/setup... It works well enough, and I have to set it up once.

The problem is that new people are still joining the internet and will continue to do so in the near future. They need to be protected from this kind of behavior. Some people argue that getting scammed is the only way people will learn, but
