You understood my comment correctly. False consciousness is a good explanation because of the fact that tech workers accept such a meager proportion of the profits generated by their work without complaint. Why would anyone knowingly accept

It persists partially because tech industry workers are especially susceptible to class confusion. That is, the startup culture stock option lottery deludes them into thinking they are a part of the ownership class rather than the working c

I think we can all rest easy knowing that the ultra wealthy are safe.

Looks interesting, but which devices and drivers does it apply to? I have no expectation that this would work over every common wifi interface in current laptops (to say nothing of the typical home gateway with their embedded linux distribu

He also wants to restructure Japanese agriculture, which is dominated by aging family farmers working tiny plots of land, a system that results in high food costs. If big companies move into farming, Mr. Abe reckons, prices will fall. Wha

How do we file the same action against Microsoft? I would like to take their domains for my own purposes, which are obviously far more worthy than what Microsoft is doing with them (I swear).

The large font looks ridiculous, why do you people keep doing that? If I needed bigger letters on my screen I'd adjust the DPI on my display.

Under that theory the 501(c)(3) org would only be able to procure and register NFA weapons that were registered before 1986, which would be very expensive and not practical. Only actual law enforcement agencies can register post-1986 weapon

Yes they are. The linked article is mainly to provide historical background rather than to expose the current trend. This link should be more illuminating: https://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/debtors-prisons

Why is it possible to destroy an entire enterprise by compromising an Amazon account? Where the fuck is their 2FA? What about a cooling off period before committing changes like deleting all of your storage? Amazon's infrastructure se

How about a link to the document instead of some fly-by-night web host with a cheesy flash PDF viewer?

The needed radio hardware would be more of an engineering and procurement challenge for the typical two-bit analytics startup than wifi radios.

They could make it optional, but having such a technical option wouldn't be Apple's style. Perhaps it could generate a new random MAC address for each saved network, which would be thrown away when you use the 'Forget network

I'm busy combing through /usr/bin for other trivial utilities that I can turn into a web site for residual income. I was tempted to create a parody site that would execute 'ls' for you, all you'd do is add the

Assuming you actually represent google, can you link to the bug, or paste bin if your bug tracker isn't publicly accessible? I'm curious to know what was the basis of this configuration decision. It seems like someone went out of

Gun control isn't an intellectually enlightened policy, it's an example of liberal anti-intellectualism. Anti-intellectualism isn't a conservative-liberal issue, but the author is painting it that way.

Their web page says OpenSSL group is their first candidate for funding. It's puzzling that they would choose to fund such a corrupt and incompetent organization over LibreSSL, which is actually fixing the code and ultimately is what wi

Those who are defending this as a reasonable and commonplace policy are dissembling at best. This is another example of the emerging electronic class system. Those who are members of the Silicon Valley clique are privileged to take what the

The problem with Rice is that she is a malevolent liar. She's unfit for any leadership position, public or private.

If the NSA is going to spend our tax dollars analyzing that code, the least they could do is contribute formatting cleanup patches!

If you'll state what apps these are, I bet someone here would throw together a web based SaaS replacement in an afternoon. If there's no competition for a business app it's often because no one is aware of the need.

A large fraction of their technical support calls are for wireless access issues. This is one way they try to reduce the number of calls and to resolve cases more efficiently. They have no interest in using your wifi key to intrude on your

At root this is a part of the push to make the web less participatory and more like television. Users need to be gulping content and crapping cash, and they don't need to be distracted by trivia such as altering a web site's layou
