It’s difficult to parse out the difference here. The need to physically roll in is both the stick they’re using and the means with which they’ll retain control. Naturally, facebook doesn’t have much to stand on here. Russia of course has co

That’s not “office” stuff, that’s “microsoft office” stuff. You should in fact use windows if you rely on microsoft tech like that. That said, a VM works wonders and people aren’t as confused by them as I would have expected!

Also in my experience SMS is confusing (read: arbitrary and complicated rules per country) enough you want a domain expert available for support. Given the track record of other AWS products I find this unlikely. That said, if you have an e

Libre office and google docs more than do it for everyone I know.

While I've never heard of either of these companies (maybe because I'm american?), it seems like wider selection is better than "up-scale" food. Delivery on top of expensive food is a once a month prospect; cheap food de

Yea, but it works & may actually be helpful.

That does make sense; but the new version is a strictly inferior form of "raises the question".

Err, isn't use of morphological classification to define species of animals super outdated? I was under the impression it was more useful to define which groups of animals could produce viable offspring. In this definition, neanderth

Thankfully, none of your assumptions are true if you consider TOR one part of anonymity as your parent comment did. Not to mention, you conspicuously avoid comparing degrees of anonymity. Obviously TOR is better than SSL, which doesn't

You didn't actually disagree with your parent comment. It is possible to be anonymous on TOR. It does not come for free.

I believe one major goal is avoiding active patents.

Well, that seems to be more of a problem with C familiarity than memory allocation. If you can write correct data structures in C, you have rudimentary knowledge of linkers and mprotect (or whatever is analagous on Windows), you'll be

I would really doubt that, actually, but I suppose it could qualify as a hostile work environment.

> Writing a memory allocator without obvious (and not so obvious) bugs is really hard. Actually, I disagree. Putting aside the implication you had that writing bugless software is possible, I think that memory allocation is straightforwa

Yea, but it's a decent pitch for the experience. LSD is sensual.

In the context of law it typically means protection from discrimination. Enumerating protected rights is the easiest way to protect them.

Making this a setting doesn't preclude sane defaults, like disabling autoplay everywhere except youtube.

I basically never open a web page to look at a video. For me, it's a straight up waste of bandwidth. I don't mind clicking on eg youtube videos.

If only you could somehow enable users to make decisions for themselves we could solve this....

Wow, so the facial recognition is both used and trained in the secure enclave. Imagine a future where you could root your phone by showing it a picture of an artfully encoded payload printed on paper.

I think it's absolutely acceptable to ask for more references if you feel it's insufficient.

Ehh, they actually are very well refined interfaces. True they are text oriented, but that ages well I think. I'm not trying to imply Leo doesn't have polish, just that native UIs age poorly compared to, say, readline/curses

You might try pleading directly to the devs—it worked for me before I got a job (I was still in high school).

I mean, "worse" here is really a relative term when it's so easy to re-enable for a page. I can't say i'm empathetic when i mostly see stupid autoplayed news clips and car ads.
