4,500 is larger than a lot of cities in the Midwest, and Census data shows that in many of those communities, everyone is under the poverty line. You seem to be running under the assumption that all or any of those 4,500 users even have any

I think we need to force the reckoning to the forefront, for the sake of the unsavvy. This affects us all, and we need to get out in front of it, before it bulldozes everything. If it hasn't already.

I rolled with the Badger for a while, but I've moved away from it and toward a more network wide approach. Can't install plugins on my devices, and I don't want thirteen different browsers on my tablet. And my Xbox is stuck w

Somewhat off topic, but anyone else think it's kinda weird that an article about data privacy has so many third party tracking scripts? I know it's sitewide on every article from the mothership, Gizmodo, but still...

We need a concentrated effort to move solutions like Ghostery and Ad Block Plus up the chain, from the browser in to the router. And we need to make it user friendly and sexy. And for what it's worth, I don't like in Ghostery, a p

And that is the point when my entire foot will go through the screen. I don't shop for TVs anymore. I buy really large monitors.

Do you? Does anyone? We sit on high and talk about the kids and perceptions of cool. But the elephant in the room is never discussing what people are actually doing with the app. And to me, that is where the divide comes in. There is the Sn

Snapchat is and always has been a way for me to connect with my drug dealer, and trade nudes with open minded individuals in my social circles. Because of this, I have been utterly fascinated by Snapchat's continued existence, partners

Can you imagine the courage of a young Hugh Hefner? What if there was a new kind of gentleman's lifestyle magazine? With best in class reporting, editorials, interviews, fashion and accessory coverage. And two to three pictorials of to

I've spent too much time in basements. Leaky walls. Mold. Stuffy air. It's no way to live.

I'm not going to recant my entire life story here. But programming career advice IS life advice. If I were 17, I would've focused less on my programming career, and more on life itself. But that's the rub. No take backs. No r

I was 17 once. I could code once. What's the best way to spend your time? Basking in the sun. Finding a scam to score some schnapps or beer or weed. Telling somebody you love them, and just going for it. Recklessly driving a car at a h

I find it all to be the same. Email spam. Robocalls. Phone scammers. The entire online advertising industry. It's all a vile poison that wastes time, effort, and money. But worst of all, there's no incentive to fix it. Most cases

Now if we can just teach the Internet how to unlearn. Go ahead, search with your favorite web crawler. Something simple like "command line ip address". It will tell you to use ifconfig -a.

Ha ha ha, Which account registered the "fraudulent * " clicks? That account receives $X per click, which we've determined, and no you can't see our math. Proprietary information, don't'cha'kno. *Advertisin

Human benefit? The trash bags full of money being thrown around the room, while we fight over the scraps? Or we can talk about the purposeful obfuscation of the industry. How you have no way of verifying clicks, or views, or anything. How C

I was some of the human time and productivity lost due to ads. Getting them to admit any wrong, from a technical issue, to anything, is like pulling teeth from a live dinosaur. Good. Hopefully they take their refund and invest it in somethi

"Finding the balance between searchable and memorable is quite the task." While I agree, the name Neo is crap, unfortunately. It's like how many things are named Fuse or Fusion in open source, or new projects that start up wi

"Windows 8/10 only at the mo, sorry." Well... why? I get, like, macOS requiring a Mac for Xcode to ship an .app bundle. But wha'bout that Linux?

The parent comment reminds me of a recent "every Stackoverflow question" post which I cannot locate right now. Yeah, you could emacs, or whatever. Or a regular human person could just use this app and really enjoy the User Experie

Not that I'm aware of. I'll typically start with Ubuntu Server and add a DE to it, but this time I did a clean Kubuntu install. I'm looking at my resource monitor right now and it's been sitting around 200 all day for Pl

I feel this way a lot about Gnome, and even Ubuntu's attempt at "Unity". It wants to be Mac. It wants to be Windows. In the end it's like all of the worst parts of both, made in to a mutant of dis-congeniality. They want

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Neon. I was really liking Cinnamon, but I don't know. Something just felt incomplete, and I was having odd issues that seemed to be exclusive to running Cinnamon. I switched to Plasma, and have r

Because KDE is the Holy Grail, and all non-believers must perish at the end of that sword. But in all honesty, I use KDE Plasma with a healthy mix of Gnome apps, because I can't stand Kmail and others.

I'm talking North Dakota weather. Three inches of ice on the roads, but fuck it they plowed, and that's the weather of the city and nobody gives a fuck and no businesses are closing. Not like Dallas where a quarter of an inch of j

And for that matter. You know that scene at the end of Big Hero 6 where he goes through the portal? And the surreal bleeding colors of the infinite void? I know -- KNOW -- whoever worked on the Environment Art for that scene has done mushro

A skinny kid is looking at a few weeks for the joint they smoked to leave their system. An overweight person is looking at roughly 30 days. Obesity takes you in to ??? mark mode, as many as 90 days is plausible from what I've seen. Tha
