This should have happened a long time ago. Flag people / tweets but don't taken them down. Ignore flagged tweets. Create public black lists of spammers/trolls. People are still waiting for twitter to clear up all the bots. Fr

It seems after installing the app 1. It logs into email via SMTP / OAuth 2. It creates a folder called delta chat 3. The first message sent to the another user is not PGP encrypted but when both users use delta chat the messages are en

This is cool! It's simple and clean. I'm wondering how does the initial key exchange work. That seems to be the biggest problem with PGP. I would recommend giving it a more different look than WhatsApp.

You can use ninjam, reaper and audio hijack for audio syncing but video syncing seems problematic.

I doubt it. Blondness is evolved for colder climates, that means the northern europe. Eastern europe has some slav influence so they might be blonde. This is the same reason why polar bears are white and other bears are brown or black. Sout

Oh I'm not scottish ... always thought gaelic languages were native to the islands but not recognised. Glad to see thats not the case. There are not many cultural references to it ... I came across it from the movie - Million Dollar Ba

Can't we just enable bounds checking and gc and live with slowness. Shouldn't that be a choice, a compiler flag ? Every time there is a security issue, someone can see your naked pictures.

Well that's technically an ethnocide. There's plenty of that happening as well. The funniest pattern you can see in news - everyone talks about the other, while ignoring their own mess. Chinese media will bring up Native Americans

I've been watching Meerkat Manor recently. More than monkeys I feel we resemble meerkats. It was exactly like watching people. At the bottom of it, it boils down to family vs family, which is tribe vs tribe in larger units fighting ove

It's easy to forget them. Every country on the globe has an indigenous people. The countries that don't have them either killed them all in the middle ages or assimilated them completely. Apart from them there are swathes of illeg

This seems like a cool service. There are few bookmark managers implementing full text search. Move to safari or firefox and notify the users ?

Find an email thread that links them ? For people thinking you need limited liability to be a big company ... you don't. Bloomberg is not an LLP as far as I know.

Intellectual property is anti-competitive and monopolistic which is anti capitalistic. It started out as a reward system for authors and inventors. What we now have is an obscenity becauase we are rewarding corporations that neither produce

This is absolutely ridiculous. As a profitable company the duty of the company is to make money for the share holders and board members. The customer is a dumb expendable resource to be exploited. Netflix stock price is down because of this

That was a short and epic read. > This limited both the language features that were possible and the quality of the produced code. What are the limitations ?

Because people will be paid well to do it, they might as well put more effort into it. You get what you pay for in that way!

I think this is an interesting feature. This seems to be like group-chatting in public. People can still link and retweet the conversation so they can be held accountable. It would be interesting if people can add other people in subsequent

Extinguish only works if it is a monopoly. Back in the day Microsoft had a monopoly on the PC operating system market and microsoft tried to extinguish the web. Microsoft still has lots of monopolistic practices built into the bootloader. N

According to the Nazis they were a National Socialists, they did not see themselves as totalitarian. I suppose it is an illusion of reference. People inside U.S.A think it is a free nation ... whereas those on the outside can see its totali

Totalitarian to who ... that's the question. America is fairly totalitarian to Mexicans, Native Indians to a very huge degree and to black people on a minor degree. In the same vein China is totalitarian to people who are not Han-Chine
