I think most people just leave wifi on; constantly turning it off and on is annoying, and you get better GPS when it's on.

This approach would make sense if most charities were similar in how much better they could make the world with your dollar. But instead there are huge differences! For example, if we look just at developing world health we see a power la

I didn't downvote you, but the leaked PRISM docs don't show "participation". They show that the NSA was getting the data. If they were doing it by, ex, inter-datacenter fiber tapping then Apple wouldn't have &quot

Certificate pinning usually (ex: Chrome) is implemented with an exception to allow a company administrator to install a new root CA cert on the device and MITM connections. Does iMessage not allow this?

You seem to assume the incentives are always correctly aligned, and agreed on concepts of "better" are immutable. They're not. No, I agree with you. I'm not very confident futarchy would work out in

In this system there's an agreed-on concept of "better", and this is standard one-person-one-vote with no money involved. If these "smart, effective rich people" then bet that certain policies will be better, but i

What is your total household income? If you select "Under $50k" they say "More likely to side with plaintiff". If you select "Over $50k" they say "No effect on either lawyer". That's
