Yes, I think people overreacted a bit. But part of the backlash was because if these algorithms were better trained on a diverse set of faces, they might not have made that mistake. I think that's a fair criticism.

I installed Chocolatey maybe a year ago, because of Atom for Windows. My recollection is that it was rather slow, shortcuts would sometimes break, and it was often unable to uninstall packages. Maybe package management is just hopeless for

I'm glad that you've had a good experience with Windows 10, but this is still a big deal. There are a lot of reasons this is different from Chrome and Firefox updating, or even from Microsoft automatically delivering updates to Wi

I don't have a Facebook account, but is there really no way to not share your available status to your friends? In Gmail you can simply sign out of Hangouts. On a side note, > If you’re wondering why the response starts with “for (;

Isn't it common sense to at least set a randomly generated password as the default one? Especially for something as sensitive as an Internet webcam.

Actually, I think the second site also uses Times New Roman. The reason why you'd want shorter line lengths is because long line lengths are less readable. I've seen this mentioned this mentioned online and it appears to be true i

Why should I, as a user, have to download all of this crap just to read a text article? I shouldn't. Maybe it takes 1 second to load an article for you, but if it also took 1 second to download a text file decades ago, then what am I a

Probably to avoid the flash of unstyled content, but yeah, that could probably be handled better.

Hm, I hadn't considered that. I use Chrome, so for downloads I can press Ctrl+J and copy the link from the Downloads page.

This reminds me of when tabs were introduced to browsers (remember when you had to open a new window for each webpage in IE6?)

I think part of the problem is that one benefit of the web is to be exposed to new ideas, and passive users are hardly benefiting from seeing stuff that doesn't challenge them. Centralisation of power is not just a problem in that Face

Actually, this happens for all Google results, not just PDFs.

Actually, I'm in the US and I also get this 404. It's been a while since this add-on has been made, so that the link is broken isn't too surprising.

Yes, that email was rude, but not quite misogynist, and it was in response to a rude reply. Not entirely his fault, but I'd agree with krisdol that it could have been handled better. Personally, I don't see what's wrong with

> Perhaps because what BP did there affected US soil and citizens? When a French user uses Google.com, it's they who are requesting the information. It's not as if Google is actively pushing search results from Google.com into

That's what I was thinking, too. But perhaps it's because of C++, where std::list is actually a linked list.

I still can't fathom how the search results on Google.com ought to be controlled by the laws of every country that Google operates in. (Surely, some of those laws contradict each other.) Why should France be allowed to control what Goo

Why not open the PDFs using Mozilla's PDF.js project instead of converting them to HTML?

(In my unqualified opinion,) I don't think this qualifies as security though obscurity. It seems to be just as secure as using AES for encryption: a secret key produces a ciphertext that an attacker can read, without being able to decr

just a question - is this any worse than the "JSON-in-script" output method?

I think it should include a note that Shift+Right Click opens the standard context menu. And then let the standard context menu open when you hold down shift.
