As a parent of an older child, I can assure you: It will get better. One tip I found especially helpful when trying to let my child sleep through the night: Try not to be on their side, when they fall asleep. If they wake up during the nigh

Actually they recommend not using Youtube but https://media.ccc.de/ instead.

It would be nice if I could access this article with https, so that my ISP cannot see what I am reading at theguardian.

So why do people have children? Why do they have more children in one country and less in another? Take Germany: We have a retirement system that people believe in (I am not saying it is working) and we have less than 2 children per couple

> Yeah, the NSA spied on your citizens, but you helped them. I did not help them. Either the German government did or the BND and VS did without orders from the German government. This needs to be investigated and punished accordingly. T

And even earlier the ö was transliterated from oe. The e was pulled on top of the o. The e was then changed to two dots. Probably because of laziness. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_umlaut#Orthography_an...

I think you're right. But I also have the luxury to work in a company where not one except me has root on my work computer.

Are you saying that iOS9 has hooks for ad blocking in Apps? I doubt that.
135.
by biafra 11y ago
Another way publishers can fight this, is to not show the content if they detect ad blocking.

by biafra 11y ago
I don't see any reason or indicator for a revolution. Ad-Blocking has been around for years. Also on mobile. It is nice that Apple finally has hooks for plugins in their mobile browser, but it is by no means a game changer or a revolut

Why not use Firefox and an Ad-Blocking plugin?

Only if they really plan to add an API. What about Hangouts for example? Did they announce an API for Photos?

And they will most likely crash if you do, because they are not expecting a SecurityException. I prefer the CyanogenMod way to just give out empty data, if a permission is not given by the user.

Interesting german book on the subject: "Nazis on Speed - Drogen im 3. Reich" by Werner Pieper (2002/2003)

There is enough evidence that the NSA does industrial espionage against Germany and Europe. Whether the BND was stupid enough to help them, remains to be seen.

Did you read the article? It says: tell them instead, what you want to earn.

Are you serious? This makes no sense. Does that mean Authy won't work if it has no internet connection? That would be an important limitation. I hear they do backup the seeds for 2FA. But why is that not optional?

Please tell us the name of the company! Are they still in business?

I still don't understand, why you think you're entitled to know a candidates previous salary. But yes, I wouldn't trust you with that information.
