I'm the better part of 40 and I still don't know what I want to do. I've drifted through life from one thing to another with no direction, focus, or interest. Like you I've tried many things (though mine are probably mor

That's a pathetic ad hominem strategy. Your point is that there is no privacy so why bother, similar to the arguement that if you've nothing to hide you've nothing to worry about. Sorry but, my dude, google, amazon, microsoft

My point if it wasn't clear, which I thought it was, was that the article horrifies me. Accessing this site? Linux laptop running tor browser what else?

What can I say I don't trust Google. No walled gardens for me.

This horrifies me! Can't think of anything I would want less than one of the big 5 US companies spying on me everywhere all the time.

I'm not trying to be facetious but what if they do ask and you say "sorry I don't have any cloud services" or more realistic "what are cloud services?" I'm no digital security expert and I haven't eve

I like this. Seems like a simple analog solution to fairly difficult digital problem; true randomness that is.

Just for context: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42529424 Of course cops don't put their lives on the line. Now let's all slag off those cops, because let's face it they deserved what happened

>More police are killed in traffic accidents than in violent confrontations. When you factor out traffic accidents in police deaths, being a cop is actually one of the safer jobs in North America. Love to see the stats on that. Either wa

Meanwhile you're not putting you life on the line to protect a public who couldn't give two shits about you. The police are is a game of heads they lose tails they don't win; what ever they do. No one wants to hear about the

I call bullshit on this. These cops have to be willing to consider their lives less important that everyone else's. Bullshit. Yes plenty of people go into the military. For myself it was because I could not get a better job. Was I will

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and the only form of wit I possess. Just one of the many character flaws I possess which make me such pleasant company, especially at this time of year!

Not to mention you'd be hard pressed telling if a phone has a user replaceable battery just by looking at it. I should know because that's the first thing I ask because I won't buy a phone without a user replaceable battery.

Sarcasm and ridicule. Assuming American creationist grab a gun and ask them to prove the existence of God by asking them to ask God to stop the bullet you're about to fire at them. In all seriousness you're wasting your time, they

I'm near 40 doing a CS degree and hope for a change of career at some point. Whilst I'm not looking for a mentor I hope I'm not too old.

I'm already nihilistic, or Stoic in any case. Already question every social construct; this started when I read the Illuminati trilogy. Fearful of what? My happiness and depression swing in roundabouts. I don't see any of this cha

Certainly US TV has way more adverts than TV in the UK, but even UK TV has more adverts. I stopped watching normal TV 2 years ago and before that used to record all my shows so I could fast forward through the adverts. Stuck at the in-laws

The difference between the Mozilla thing and this though is the level of outrage and the fact people are actually trying to make excuses for Apple. Mozilla did their thing imho in all naivety. Someone there thought that would be "cool&

I don't think the outrage is excessive and I am more inclined to think poorly of the people not outraged by this. And those ok with the price of replacing something that should be user replaceable anyway. This is one of the richest com
