He's only opposed to unions and worker rights because they would affect the profits of his company, and by extension, how much money he makes personally. If Ryanair's business model is only sustainable by exploiting workers, then

No one should be using slack at all. I understand that it fills use cases that email and irc don’t, but that is no excuse for letting all of your communications be owned by some other company. What if slack accidentally or deliberately deni

Don't gloss over the fact that Microsoft forbade computer manufacturers to sell a computer without their operating system. They didn't have the option of paying for the license and not installing the OS, or paying for the license

I thought it was kicked out of the iOS App Store for using the private APIs, after it was accepted. That is fair on its face, because those are the rules Apple set. However, the F.lux developers pleaded with Apple to open up the APIs needed

That is a good point, but flagging shouldn’t be the end of the line for soft deleted data. There should be a process going back and removing everything that was flagged for deletion, prioritized to guarantee deletion within a set time frame

I wonder how we can effectively punish Reddit for this. If we can cut into their advertising revenue and derail their IPO, that might force them to reverse their position.

The SPLC? Seriously? Bigotry isn’t a legitimate point of view. You don’t have a right to have that opinion.

Do you believe all crypto currencies will be outlawed by governments, or just the practice of initial coin offerings that are obvious Ponzi schemes? The reason I ask is that while it is possible to hold people responsible for illegal busine

I suspect that both the willingness to attribute shootings to "evil" and the reluctance to address mental health both stem from the religious belief that still pervades American society to a much greater extent than it does other

We need to start sanctioning the people who come up with this stuff. Lock the people associated with the CBP out of flying on any US airline, or purchasing anything from an online merchant.

Pre-heating is great, but if your commute is very long it can't make much difference. Traditionally, vehicles are very poorly insulated and it isn't a big problem because their heat is a free waste product. Electric vehicles reall

Valid is a binary condition. Either an address is valid and you will be able to send mail to it, or it is not. That is usually the sole reason for validating an email address. If a bug in the validation logic causes an unusual email address

I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of Intel ME. Have you verified that setting the HAP bit is effective with the ME code removed? If so, then that is obviously the way to go. However, if the code that interprets the HAP bit a
