This is what-about-ism and it's dishonest. The US's incarceration rate has little to do with concentration camps where people are put because they're a ethnicity the government doesn't like . They can both be problems w

Firefox doesn't make it's decisions based on the same criteria as Google, but: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/07/18/still-not-using-... What are your thoughts on that?

I disagree. It seems way more unix-y for programs not to break piping by spewing color codes.

The whitelist based approach seems pretty limiting, doesn't it? If every exit node is expected to enumerate the domains it will carry traffic to, what happens if a client needs to connect to a new site? Are exit nodes intended to keep

What Microsoft got in huge trouble for absolutely pales in comparison to what current tech companies get away with. I'm not sure why that is. A combination of oversight getting extremely weak and consumer apathy are my guesses.

Best buy was much worse off a few years ago. The company and the stores are in much better shape these days, they hired a CEO that did many improvements.

The funny thing is, based on this article and Fry's (the person) business acumen, why is it allowed to continue this way? The author emphasizes that John Fry is a bright guy with attention to retail detail. Bare shelves are incredibly

Ben Eater did a video on driving a VGA display using a breaboard circuit. He builds up to it in his usual amazing teaching style, highly recommend: https://youtu.be/l7rce6IQDWs

I don't see how the wsj quote is misleading or wrong. It's a close enough approximation for laypersons reading a non-technical newspaper. It's also a definition that's more closely aligned with the article's subject

For better or worse, I think Slack and its cohorts are what people accept as the "next" email. They are wave's successors, spiritually at least.

Wait how is that? At the very least, what they're proposing sounds like open specs and industry standards.

How can a protest video be considered illegal in a country that claims to be an open and free democracy? There was a time when I would expect Google to stick to its principles and say no. Nowadays, I'm not so sure.

So could naming the os in this way be a clever attempt at recapturing the meaning of a subversive word that the government doesn't like?

Not to mention, as a private company, Google could do whatever it wanted anyway, there is no first amendment protection. This lawsuit is probably going to get dismissed, so I have to treat it as a stunt to get some cheap headlines.

I lose all tabs occasionally. Browsers aren't perfect, it does happen after a weird crash, or something. It's exceedingly rare, like maybe twice a year. With that said, I've always considered tabs to be volatile state. Browse

Yes, there's merrit to this, but up to a point. The problem is that the "glue" you're using to connect your ingredients is bash, and that quickly gets unwieldy >100 lines or so.

People complaining about rudeness or arrogance towards the recruiter are deliberately missing the point. The author is venting about the thing Facebook has become. It's an opinion piece. The fact that it started with repeated recruiter

How is requiring (and selling) a portfolio of overpriced dongles "in support of the user"? Apple has let margins dictate design decisions for many years now. That's not user first. I don't know a single iPhone x user who

The question is, if you wanted to start a cheaper, good-enough battery company, even cheaper than AmazonBasics, could you sell and compete on Amazon? Or would they still outposition you by hand holding customers directly to theirs? I'm
