There's always been a delay in Wired blocking me, so I always just print the page to a PDF and read away.

Why does it matter how interesting it is? It's humorous and we had some fun with it.

I think you have no idea what you're talking about. Since you bring up "Communist countries," my grandfather lived in Communist Romania. He was beaten to death in jail over the course of two months on charges of possessing f

They are two different worlds. There's no comparison. In the west, with cases like these, and people like Snowden, we're trying to defend our free speech and privacy by our standards. We're doing alright, but there are s

Did you really need someone to explain the purpose of a file called test .html? Seems like the filename explains it.

Why not a <span> or a <dingleberry> then? I think this is the key thing to discuss here.

That's a frustrating parallel you draw. I wouldn't tell a depressed person to cheer up. I've been depressed. And I wouldn't tell an addict to just stop. I have friends who are addicts. But I know that at the end of the d

So what's your solution then? What if I agree with you and say: fine, it's impossible for procrastinators to do their work. Is this the end? Do we all just agree that procrastinators can't do their work and sit around not doi

But they don't lack the stamina/strength. It's just more difficult for them. The possibility is still there. Same with addicts. I know a handful. Yes, it's tremendously difficult for them to quit with the drugs, but it

Labeling or not, calling it a problem or not, I don't get your point. Are you saying that you cannot control yourself and it's not your fault that you didn't do all that work? At the end of the day it seems a personal choice

The OTA doesn't need devs and Facebook engineers, they're not developing CRUD apps, and they don't need to know what CRUD is. They need to be well educated, qualified professionals who are capable of advising the government

But there's nothing innovative about the original versions of the AmazonBasics products. That's why they're called Amazon Basics . I'll agree with you when we have an AmazonBasics car or smartwatch, which turn will cha

First off, "simple" is relative. A laptop stand is relatively simple, that's just what it is. So, you're saying we stand to lose original making of products that are easy for Amazon to copy. That's exactly what I&

I also bought a different, brand-name stand for my rMBP. I'm one of the people who are willing to pay extra for a product because it looks better. I don't think Amazon is threatening higher-price/lower-quantity products tha

I made some Korean friends on a semester abroad in college… Kind of shocked me how much I hadn't heard of concerning Korea and Japan, from specific stories like this to differences in daily life and what is considered "normal beha

Their whole thing about sex in the second paragraph—anyone have any idea, given this, why if I type "sex" in to the app store search I get a good amount of apps blatantly about sex? First one is Sex Positions 3D.

Sometimes it feels like the opposite. Any day that has the slightest hint of holiday to it is "markets closed! remember no work tomorrow! hooray for national silly lala day!"

Yeah; same in German. I suppose English is considered more "important" and thus this makes the news.

Interesting, same here but my parents are likely your generation. Grew up in 70s-80s communist Eastern Europe, lots of food shortages from government obsession with self-sufficiency. Stories of waiting in line for 3 hours for a maybe loaf

They need to "program," not program. The difference is key—people who can't write email rules just aren't "computer savvy" and that's not such a large issue with the new generations. What seems to be happe

Yeah, but nobody set out to make dentistry easy for them, or to coach them through it when clearly they have no natural ability to learn the sciences required. Some people just don't get it.

Is it really necessary to make programming more accessible to non-programmers? (this is how interpret some of the introduction about making programming easier to a 'beginner') How is it different from making structural engineering

Nice catch--I didn't notice that. Should've had an article of its own.

Am I missing something? Why is this posted here and now? Edit to clarify my confusion: is this new? What's the difference between this and two factor verification (which we've had for a while)?
