Do you have a link about mastadon's moderation problems?

Oh man, that was the best. It was large enough to have basically every interest. All while still having the basic functionality of reading and replying to text. Your "feed" was chronological messages, rather than a psychologist-en

I recently found out about Mobile Justice apps that stream your recording directly to your state's ACLU, so that even if your phone is siezed the recording is not destroyed. California's: https://play.google.com/st

I'm not convinced of that. Apple is in a position to invent a search engine, make it real pretty (if not as powerful), and slap it as the default on iOS Safari. Throw in some claims that "it's the most private" so the ap

This is what-aboutism at it's finest. Changing default apps has nothing to do with privacy. How did you connect the two other than "but what about..."? In fact, forget about Android, every OS pretty much ever has allowed for

Ok, wtf. Clicking around randomly, I came across: http://textfiles.com/sf/bane_of_ Which I presume is some kind of speculation on "Episode 3" of star wars. I have no clue when this was written, but given the

You could say the same for cash.

Why do you need to mitm it if it's all open source?

MacBook keyboard + constant track pad use (like 2 months worth) was really wrecking my arm, shoulder, and wrist. I don't recommend that combo for anything but light, short spans.

I'm curious what kinds of sites people think should be returned for a search term of "mattress", if not mattress shopping sites?

The entire point of the Congress is compromise. Whenever I see joint legislation like this it gives me hope that despite our hyper partisan climate, there is at least some collaboration still happening.

But this is how Reddit works. And HN actually.

That's the crazy thing about this. There's already obfuscation techniques against hash blacklists, so what is this even for? There's no earthly way apple security engineers didn't know that. So what is actually happening

It's funny how the chrome store has skewed so far the opposite direction (kicking out extensions that claim they need http://* ), but any Android app can claim they're a http:// handler.

This seems like a pointless comparison. Why should one SpaceX program be compared to all of what NASA does? It would be like saying "angry birds was developed with 10 days worth of Microsoft's annual budget".

By that rationale, no one should have been forced to stay home. Everyone's got mouths to feed.

How though? It's trivially simple to change the default search engine. Just because a product is dominant doesn't mean it got that way nefariously. I'm sure if you added up all the R&D over the years in search, especially

There's some truth to this. For many years, Google allows users the ability to wholesale export all of their data (perhaps as a defense for this moment in time). If the consumer market wanted an alternative, wouldn't there be comp

Wait what? I wish people would make up their minds on this. They have gotten a warrant. That's how law enforcement is supposed to work. Being against warrantless tapping is not the same thing.

Can you refer books/other material about this?

This really is a "stunning" victory that I did not expect. In today's world, big money rarely loses a round to NGOs and the public interest. Maybe this happened because the circumstances around the selling were _that_ egregio

This is very eye opening, thanks. Yes, in the US, the implication is the opposite: "I bought a car" is taken to mean brand new. I guess part of it is that it's a very car oriented culture, but the other part is that people va

Missing any math in any year is a disaster. There is a real continuity in math teaching starting from addition through high school. I've seen so many people who gave up early on, and they have _no hope_ of making it up later on.

I've used this to create a little muxer for opening URLs, which routes some to safari and some to Firefox, based on domain. Platypus allows to associate the app as a URL handler with the OS, which is very nice.

That works if it's a bottom up organization. Decisions like this at apple are very much top down. Luckily, the PMs there make the right calls, when it comes to privacy, since it's one of their key differentiators.

Fwiw, the "{}" formatting is common in python, so that might be a reason they went that route.

Ya but I wouldn't be surprised if the Ticketmaster TOS that you sign (click) makes you give up your suing rights in favor of arbitration or worse.

One thing that I've always noticed about this video is how much it makes sense when explained iteratively at each step. The final product, though, I can't picture that checked into source control for someone to understand weeks or
