There is nothing dubious about collecting information if you do it legally. Further, it is what you do with it not the potential that would get you into legal trouble, otherwise Google, Facebook and every other company would be under legal

Having been brought up in the UK, I think this is one of the situations where we look at the rest of the world and think they are quite literally insane... Why would you not have right of way on public roads? Everyone is a pedestrian at the

You reveal a short-termist Anglo-Capitalist bias. This is not how good managers are assessed in other forms of capitalism or business. Consistent long-term business growth is far more important in some, e.g. in Germanic and Scandinavian cou

The link in the article to "The Man Who Owns the Internet" ( http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2... ) is far more interesting than the article itself. It almost makes Mann look like a rank amateur by comparison...

All these mainstream "tech" stories coming since middle of last year remind me so much of the last technology bubble. That said, this article covers a rare point in American press about the boundaries of social responsibility in business.

Unfortunately, the question is whether or not it makes it any less effective (and I mean in a total sense not purely legal)... DMCA being used explicitly for censorship of free speech was one of the repurcussions that was warned of before i

On the contrary, one could easily overlook: 1. the intimidation factor of the US government willing and able to do anything to any company over "intellectual property", including foreign ones, even if it falls well outside the legal juris

This guy's method is a very solid approach to learning languages especially for Romance and Germanic languages, even if his claimed results (C1 in 5 months) are hard to believe for ordinary people. Two other resources which are inline with

Those links are very useful. However, I note that at each refuted point, the author is constantly being surprised by an actor creating a solution that does indeed do something new. This includes interoperability with VMWare hypervisors and

I completely agree. If this is publishable science, then a strong and reproducible description of the science and algorithms used is all that is necessary. I would be very interested if the author had actually given even a single instance w

Something mildly condescending and irritatingly simplistic about this article... I understand his loose attempt at the general point about enterprise customer base and enterprise valuation. But great companies exist despite "intellectual

Original publicity: http://www.channel4.com/news/millions-of-barclays-card-users... Though the story moved on since then to reveal other credit card providers were also susceptible and that it is a general problem with the specification.

You're writing an awful lot of words and almost seem offended by the mildest possible expression of someone's opinion about the stark contrast of a technical topic and more than colloquial writing. A whole thread over "wild"...?

Haha, nice way to beat the system. But I doubt the symmetry of those two graphs. Surely, there is no (ordinary) retail car on the planet which can accelerate as fast as it decelerates?

Set up your own domain name for $5/year or less and use the free email aliasing that comes with it, e.g. paul@wvenable.me would be aliased to paulharris@gmail.com at your DNS provider. Then you only ever pass around wvenable.me addresses. I

Indeed. Perhaps this is the primary reason why Go was invented.

You are indeed correct, thank you. The article is highly misleading on that particular point. Given how extraordinary a claim it was (enough for me to take the time to write a response to it), I should have double-checked it from an alterna

What I like most about Firebase so far compared to Meteor, is that I can actually read about Firebase and its excellent documentation from any machine with any web browser! Well done, thank you.

Long, but you failed to cover the consequences for the single most critical point of this Act: rollback of independent accounting requirements. No other developed nation in the world would even consider such a fundamental change to public

Something like Julia, Rust or Clay that are high level languages but with little more than Python-like simplicity that generate LLVM code seem powerful. This general model is the closest to a viable C-replacement I have seen yet. In additio

While it's true that most network access is restricted, there is one network call that can be made without any permissions: the URI ACTION_VIEW Intent opens a browser. Android has no "Trust Links" permission?

After having tried many keyboards in the past, now I only go for those that have the following features in order of priority: 1. mandatory: no built-in numpad, i.e. tenkeyless. This reduces the right hand mouse sweep and reduces strain on t
