Even without encryption back-doors, people are under unprecedented levels of surveillance, and it's only getting more pervasive. So I find it very hard to believe the job of law-enforcement is getting harder, not easier, just because w

I should have known this would be used as an excuse to even further expand corporate control at the expense of individuals. Now they're trying to use it to restrict the second-hand market. Instead of making it clear you're buying

There is selection bias (and other issues) not only in this study, but in which stories are promoted as well. E.g. this story presenting immigration positively gets to stay on the front page for some time, while a (admittedly anecdotal) sto

I honestly think that's a terrible idea, and that paid sick leave should be paid not by the employer, but from taxes. Which should be raised slightly to cover such a policy. Otherwise, hiring someone presents a gigantic risk for smal
