Tor is not enough to ensure even mediocre privacy. Just proxying everything through Tor would give people a very false sense of security (and break UDP amongst others). There are VMs that do that but still wouldn't recommend that to so

The only unsettling part to me is the cost of litigation. Assuming the legal system is just, I don't have a slightest problem with whoever funding or managing a lawsuit, revenge-seeking or not. And comparing an invasion-of-privacy (or

Since everyone is talking about their crying habits - I have this very annoying tendency to get teary eyed/cry when having intense discussions with some people. Especially if there's any hint of negativity in it. Awkward for obvoi

Ever looked into TMS? http://www.rsi.deas.harvard.edu/mb_what_is.html I don't have RSI but had a brief RSI-scare after some intensive typing and came across it. Seems like it helped a lot of people. Including Etherpad&

It's part of the implicit negotiation to me. You get the other side to soft-commit to a given price range. A perfectly valid strategy. Not to say it can't backfire in a multitude of ways. As a consultant you sometimes want them to

Can't find the documentation. Your site gives me no idea of how you actually integrate it or how it works at all. Wouldn't sign up without that information.

With a properly setup TORbrowser it will use a different tor circuit for every host. Using a [single] VPN "centralizes" your exit connections. For HTTPS enabled sites TOR is perhaps a better choice, just have to be careful of ssls

How about you find an experimental OSS project being developed by a local university, contribute a bit online first and then try to meet up?

I just keep all my work-files (documents, downloads etc) in my desktop folder (it's the "top-level" folder in Windows when you Alt-Up, have it symlinked at /desktop/ too). My default view is a detail view sorted by

That overzealous secrecy around TTIP is a shame. It doesn't look like such a bad piece of legislation. The overall theme seems to be some deregulation on EU side (as generally EU is the over-regulated side) and bringing regulatory stan

One could argue a "leak" creates more buzz? A bigger sense of momentum and out-performance? Also they'd face less scrutiny if the there's some creativity in the numbers. "It's just an internal document, you can

I'd say complaining and being open about your own shortcomings is a somewhat Western thing in general. Kind of ties into the concepts of guilt vs shame societies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt_society https

Vs pure native: let's you avoid ad-hoc mutating the UI, makes state more manageable and predictable - the same thing that got React popular in the Web space, albeit with more competition. Not super-familiar with Objective C and Java-An

What's your use case? My intuition is telling me you want it to be something it's not :PP I use it exclusively for CLI stuff via Mintty (the default terminal emulator). The installation just extracts the basic files and lets you d

Do you actually do that? There's a lot of hoops one would have to get around for a seamless experience with a VM. Most of the time Cygwin just works[0]. I tried running my Emacs and terminal in a separate VM, wasn't so pleasant.

Perhaps I've never been especially bad at colors. But what ultimately improved my [single] color intuition the most is internalizing HSB (Hue/Saturation/Brightness). When I think of a color I think of an HSB coordinate. Maybe

Sounds like its much more than the image issue. Just run lol. I wish I did when I was in an analogous situation. Laughable equity, co-founder you can't respect, already built-up resentment - can only get worse.

I don't know the history of China's takeover of Macau. But in case of Hong Kong it was mostly legal and diplomatic reasons (of the UK). Taiwan is an independent democracy, it's very unlikely they'd willingly agree to th

As funny as that comparison sounds - browsers are an amazing environment/system. If we ever abandon the Browser for more opaque systems I'm sure it will be remembered the way we remember Lisp machines today.

To me what Github got right is making virtually no distinction between end users and developers. SF tried to shelter "end users" from "dev stuff" yielding bad experiences for both. It's hard to use open source proje

Without adjusting for BMIs it doesn't tell us that much about causality. If you could get that data that would be huge.

PayPal looses money on fraud (charge-back fraud mostly I assume). They had to pioneer fraud prediction/detection tech to even survive, let alone be profitable. Actually after Peter Thiel left PayPal, he founded Palantir, which is stron

Timing is my guess. Maybe Twitter felt like getting the team and the technology now and then was worth exponentially more than MAYBE having it a few months down the road.

It's not specific to text. If someone has a tendency to misconstrue others' emotions they can do that anywhere. I DO fully believe it is true for a lot if not most people, especially those that didn't grow up on text communic

Maybe consider doing comprehensive medical testing? If everything is okay it will help reduce your anxiety about it. If not it will probably help more than any amount of exercise ever will.

I've been thinking about that quiet a bit lately. My two random thoughts: 1. I don't think it's strictly bad. More pressure to build coherent and precise arguments is good. It can indeed yield unnecessarily verbose language b

1gbit/s is just under 120MB/s - the average read/write speed of an HDD. So yea, maybe you can backup your personal PC or two, but you still won't be using it for frequent reads/writes (latency issues aside). I have

The most unsettling thing is how much I love reading anecdotes like that - they make you feel so much better about "messed up" things you do yourself.
