It is definitely a two-edged blade. It might serve as a moral pillar to Greenwald, but it also makes him easy to manipulate. One could feed the leak at the time where it would do most damage and know that where other editors would think twi

The damage will really lie where it already does today, where people consume info without any filters in whatsapp groups within their bubbles. If they can believe a photoshopped image with a caption, they will be much more inclined to belie

The worst experience I had refactoring JS was the need to change functions that were used elsewhere from plain to async. I really hoped to have had a strong IDE that could assure me the affected code was as intended and did not have the flo

Is it common for the police to resort to explosives and military vehicles to handle a single armed person? Or maybe they have just too much leftover military toys and are eager to play with them?

This seems to assume that every good purchased is created by a minimum wage work force. That not being the case, the minimum wage work force purchasing power increases for everything else that is imported or produced by a higher wage work f

There are more use cases for sending email other than marketing. We don't like sending them, but many customers prefer to have transactional information (for instance, an audit has been done in some factory plant you manage) and period

We have had two separate instances of Mailgun blocking our account without reaching out, forcing us to upgrade the account to have access to chat support in order to resolve the issue in a reasonable time. They seem to only respond tickets

Can we really call it an accident when strikes are made at weddings, funerals, farms, vans, and even double striking to kill first responders based on a phone chip signal that might have, at some point in time, been used by rebels? In fact

Pirating shows and putting them on an external drive that you plug on any TV and can take with you on trips works fine and most normal middle class people can manage it though.

They don't seem to understand that without the rainforest they would be trying to plant stuff in a desert. The whole economic aspect is moot, the forest provides the rain to plant so they burn deforest to plant more. But agribusiness d

First we have to wait for the science, then we have to wait for the establishment to deny the science, then we have to wait for the establishment to lobby against the science. In the post-truth, post-science zeitgeist, should we acquiesce t

I think that misses the point. SQL does not prevent a junior dev from selecting many more rows than he needs to and then proceed to iterate over them naively.

There is only so much the super rich spend, what's left is either sitting somewhere collecting interest or being exchanged between other super rich and never trickles down again as tax or paychecks. Money is a zero sum game and the sup

As a parent this is my sentiment. When I compare my parents middle class lifestyle to my own now, there is a lot I would not have been able to accomplish without direct financial support from them. Now I dread that I will hardly be able to

That is certainly the case. Google's decision for Angular have made millions of lines of code legacy over night. The real reason it ever got traction in my opinion was the built in dependency injection. It solved a real problem at the

We have been using Mattermost happily for 4 months give or take. Our use case is basic chat features with some integrations for a team of around 40. We run it in a t2.small instance along with another tool. I only had to manually restart it

Honest question, won't the microorganisms that actually cause the disease adapt as well, perhaps jumping to another species of mosquito that is even more in contact with humans? Do they depend on a specific characteristic of certain sp

The moderators could perhaps not be looking directly at the video but a blurred version of it, along with a tool to reveal some part of it. That way they can infer what is going on without looking at the raw material. Another thing they cou

Seems like given enough time, any company will lose whatever value it tried to uphold in the past in favor of shareholders. Once it reaches that point, every business optimization is in detriment of either the final user or society, quite o
