If anything, hijacking page real estate makes it less likely the user will click on non-injected ads (which actually pay something out to the content creator). I believe content creators have a right to seek compensation for their work -

California has tried to solve this very problem by requiring employers to provide 2 hours paid time off to vote on Election Day [1]. I'm not sure how good compliance is, or how many employees are aware of their right. [1] http:/&

Reasons for not voting vary. Uninterested voters are common, but other factors (didn't like the candidates, forgot to vote, too busy, transportation problems, inconvenient polling place) show up too. The Census has good data on this:

A representative sample doesn't vote, that's the problem. The people who show up tend to be white middle-aged homeowners. Youth voter turnout, for instance, is very low compared to the eligible population [1] https://

They don't get paid by their employer, correct. To cover costs, the union backing them will typically issue strike pay. But the project doesn't make any progress until they're back to work, and labor costs may be higher after

TazeTSchnitzel's right. For all we know, users reported posts from proud #bi, #gay, and #lesbian people because they wanted those people off Instagram, not because there was anything wrong with their content. The result is the same: th

Creating a Security page on the site to explain your infosec policies would go a long way. I like that we're able to view previous disclosures [1] and active security issues [2], but I had to dig a bit to find them. Surface those. [1]

That's why we have a quorum. Half of all seated Senators (51) are required to be present for the Senate to do business. For a House with no vacancies, half means 218 Representatives. So you're right; fishy "unanimous" vo

That's right. Late employees build on the shoulders of early employees. The idea that founding team members are somehow inherently less entitled to their equity doesn't make sense. Indeed, they often forgo salaries in exchange for

The way the bill would accomplish that goal is the problem. A warrant is a court order allowing police to work within a very narrow scope - a single tapped line or residence to be searched. It doesn't force the phone company to build a

Agreed. Those familiar with encryption understand that a single security incident resulting in the theft of such a backdoor key is all it would take. The attack would cascade to any company that implemented the library.
