Sublime Text has an orgmode plugin, as does Vim.

Why is this better than Orgmode? Orgmode is human readable, opens in any text editor, handles everything from bullet points to tables, and Github even has a Markdown-like renderer for Orgmode files.

Strictly speaking, stocks are a piece of paper. What makes the stock market behave as it does is the way people treat the stock. Similarly, the way people treat Bitcoin is as an asset with very, very high liquidity.

It's funny that you say "bring [it] into the modern era" when countries have been asking citizens to not use weapons for centuries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wounded_Knee_Massacre https:/&#x

I would go one further and suggest simply hosting your own site.

One might cite news sources which oppose Gamergate as having a political agenda, since Gamergate quickly stopped being about the "five guys" allegations and became about the party lines that both sides drew.

The obvious problem is that if an ISP wanted it could simply throttle Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon until they die out (which would be convenient for many TV/Telecom companies).

There are at least two orgmode plugins for vim. I don't know how complete they are, though. Orgmode is plain-text formatted, so you don't need a plugin to read it. However, the plugin gives you the ability to fold headings autom

If we allow you to buy "facebook-only" service which only serves FB, Twitter, and related services...what happens to Gnusocial, which isn't on that list? By permitting discrimination by content, you are implicitly allowing an

>Just look at the attacks on Politifact, Factcheck.org, etc... for people who don't think objective truth is a factor in "Fake news". More likely explanation: people mistake personal bias for "common sense" or so

You mistake "do no harm" for "don't let the user do harm". This is "do no harm" in the sense that Hippocrates said it; your job as a kernel security dev is to not harm the user, just as a doctor's job

As mentioned in the reply to the sibling comment, we can't know for sure unless we have source code.

The trouble is that the evidence is basically "Apple says they don't". Because the source code is not open, we can't know for sure one way or the other.

It depends. The comparison I always make is to Gordon Ramsay, the (in)famous chef of Kitchen Nightmares fame. He's famous for two things: swearing constantly at the subjects of the day's episode, and being entirely right --his

Define "real issues". Also, explain how other issues change the impact that this new tax code will have on students. I agree that US's tax code needs to be reformed. I think we need to start working with a much, much smaller

Unfortunately, every successful organization I've seen either is a cult or develops a cult-like following to support itself.

While this does suggest that they lost the source code for this program, it also shows an unbelievable amount of skill.

I suspect that UBI, or something similar, will be necessary when automation/AI/whatever-you-like is good enough to replace "front-end", customer-facing jobs. At that point, it'll be hard to break into the job market

I wasn't as concerned about Windows-only programs as I was about non-open x86 programs in general. While there's definitely more closed Windows programs, there are Linux builds of closed-source tools which are only available for x

Unfortunately, the first question that popped into my head was not "awesome, a processor that won't spy on me" but "will it be x86 compatible?". I know, it's heresy--you should only need open-source software, a

I typically use a vim-like set of keybinds when possible, so for me it's something like shift-H or g,h.

The concern isn't so much that the CIA will use it, but that someone else will find it and use it before the CIA does--a problem that is avoided by having the CIA disclose the vulnerability instead of keeping it for a rainy day.

One of the other reasons I hate politics is the mentality that the only losing move is not to play...which is often followed by "vote for me". It's a cheap, underhanded tactic that tales advantage of First Past The Post&#x2
