   For all practical purposes it won't make a difference. When you sign up for ISP service there will be a new small paragraph buried deep in the long 10000+ word contract text that says you consent to them selling your browsing data, whi

   I wish MIcrosoft would have worked off Firefox for the new Edge instead of Chrome. Just doesn't make sense why they would feed into a direct competitor. Bagging Edge off Firefox would have made it a real option for me as well as creati

   I was watching the broadcast and the disappointment and sadness of seeing so many years of work abruptly disappear in an instant was palpable. A valuable lesson in failure and finding motivation to keep going and try again, a valuable life

    I love these kind of projects, really making stuff smaller and more accessible. I'm hoping that we can see something as simple as AppJar [ http://appjar.info/ ] to really boost the tinker/maker community, and espe

    I wonder if this is a negotiation tactic to get special reduced rates, or if this is the beginning of a deeper experiment, in which grocers (who run on notoriously low margins) are trying to save 2% per almost every transaction. Supposedly,

    I don't understand why these config systems can't be less 'programmy' (less technical). All of these (Nix/Guix/NginX Lua, etc) config systems are all so complex with layers of interesting syntax and punctuation
