I'm not sure I follow. I didn't explain my point well now that I've re-read it but the idea is more than the early maverick hacker projects felt more like just a project, something that was made to make sure everyone's l

I think the criticism lobbied against AirBnB and Uber is for a reason, and the reason isn't the same "up-yours" attitude of past maverick tech companies. It's a little easier to buy the maverick attitude of something lik

To clarify, we used it for our system status updates and notifications at one of my last places of employment (small university, ~3500 userbase). We didn't have a lot of official followers, but our SMS subscribers, as reported by the v

I won't deny that it can be a very divisive platform, and unfortunately people are not always very good at divorcing the product from the artist for certain subjects. It can be a weird disconnect to do so, and I'm not a stranger t

I think this is related to some theories about how the body processes food as it approaches its rest period or something like that. I have not read any of the articles or theories, but I have heard the idea repeated many times, and across t

Honestly I think the numbers on this would be poor. OS X users use Safari, and rightfully so because the performance tends to be very good compared to other browsers on Apple hardware. At best they could hope for bundled installs with Offic

I think you're misunderstanding their point. The gp was saying don't ever attack your most enthusiastic customers, parent was suggesting there is equal potential for harm in refusing to detach from your enthusiasts and citing Koda

What would you define as completely open? I mean, the very act of leaking data is a risk; you're performing an act of civil disobedience, which while for the greater good is still likely to land you in some legal trouble if you get cau

I'd love to get into specifics, but will more just give a general description for confidentiality reasons. In general, I see a lot of cloud service providers across the EU - think of the marketing materials you've likely gotten fr

For the external sources, there is of course not much you can do (except a filter for "unsubscribe" to catch most spam/newsletter emails), but for work email and chat, having a strong established culture on what is expected c

Well, I will grant there are exceptions to my expectation, and it might just be my own bias coloring it; I tend to avoid "bad" foods pretty regularly, cook my own meals, and I am not very tempted by convenience stores at all. I wo

Can you elaborate where you are seeing this? Is this as the post-secondary level or lower? I worked in higher-ed in the US and almost uniformly our institution and those we talked to in mailing lists were adamantly anti-blocking. Rememberin

I would agree that those alone will have little impact, but they also tend to be indicative of an overall different life-style. It's hard to over-shop for groceries, for example, when you have to carry everything home on your person, a

I'm not sure I'm explaiing the scenario well - this isn't a planned attack, it's an opportunity attack where you're the victim based simply on the fact that you happened to be there, much like a mugging. Assume the

Don't be disheartened - most industries are like this, and it even has an idiom "fake it till you make it". My current work allows me a pretty decent look at literally thousands of different IT infrastructure set ups by this

I think the largest difference is just the volume of readily available information to support just about any point you want to make. The power of authoritative sources has eroded greatly as the increased access to information means you can

Probably because in a lot of the places where this happens, the owners/operators of the infrastructure have to actually live there and deal with the consequences of undermining the powers that be. On top of that, sometimes it pays to p

My only issue with reader mode is that many sites seem to beat it with the stupid"load rest of article button" so you can't just load it all through reader. On iOS I usually try to load articles in between stops in the subway

I cannot disagree with this line of reasoning at all - the whole idea behind reckless is a disregard for danger or consequence, not the actual consequence itself. I was younger and first got a license, for sure my friends and I would drive
