There's a time and place for that stuff though, if all of a sudden you start bringing up politics during your local Arduino project meetup you can't be surprised if they stop inviting you. Hacker News sort of splits between techno

If only someone could have seen this coming, you know, outside of the thousands of people that saw this coming. This is just one of many reasons why mass surveillance is a terrible.

This is pretty interesting, I'm thinking about how edge cases will be handled. Consider a product like Airtable: at present I think most people would classify it as a consumer productivity tool. Firebase on the other end would be a

In Cincinnati, it's illegal to ride a bike on a sidewalk, which makes sense, it's not very pleasant for the cyclist or pedestrians. The result is that bicyclers ride in the street. You'll regularly get harassed for riding i

This is something that I struggled with, good writers can build a story that reveals something over time. I'm not a good writer, I can't build stories like that, so I just have to lay the point out and support it after 5th grade

I recently changed how I eat, mostly chicken thighs, stir fry beef, rice and canned / frozen vegetables depending on the deals for the week. Oatmeal for breakfast. Meals are clocking in between $0.90 and $2.50 per serving, It's p

I'd argue that isn't ethical either. Commonplace and unethical are unfortunately not mutually exclusive.

This is clearly an attempt to gather evidence about the defense and the journalists involved. It is also likely that they are attempting to identify the source for the Navy Time's reporting. Here's an analogy from the civilian wo

The prosecutors embedded a tracking image in an email that they sent to journalists and the defense. It's not just for tracking to see if the recipients have opened the email, but it could help them identify who the email is forwarded
