I think the author is completely wrong on the premise that more encryption has meant less privacy. People are using more encryption because we already had no or little privacy. It hasn't gotten worse, it was already this bad. He is rig

The damage caused to water tables and such caused by extracting natural gas does last that long though, it's not a very good solution.

Tipping is a barbaric practice. If drivers aren't making enough they should be advocating for higher wages instead of complaining that Uber doesn't make it easy enough for them to take bribes.

More than moderation, I think it's just an artifact of their ranking system. It basically guarantees that the only stuff on the front page or top of large reddits is going to be stuff that's shallow and easy (not to mention quick)

My own response to sites adblocking adblockers has just been to stop visiting those sites.

This title is incredibly misleading. All the Obama administration is doing is providing a streamlined process to people who are already eligible to have their debt forgiven. For the people moaning about "wealth redistribution" or

I exclusively ride Uber because there's no tipping. More honest pricing is great.

Ctrl+Key shortcuts aren't going to work in bash (at least not without breaking other important stuff) so I'm hoping they decide to make quickedit mode more usable someday. Unfortunately I still think this is going to be kind of a

Is this still going to be using the absolutely dreadfull conhost? Because that's the biggest shortcoming windows currently has with its interactive command line tools, cmd.exe and powershell are both usable, not great (okay, pretty bad

Cool resume, I thought the part where it loads super compressed low detail images for every card in the app demonstration and then loads the full detail image when you actually show that tab was a clever way to make the ui more responsive w

Does this mean Al Jazeera English will be viewable online again in the US? I never watched AJA because I don't particularly want to watch US-Focused news and I have never had and will never have a cable subscription.

Filtering options would be nice but the lack of algorithms deciding what to show me is exactly why I use twitter over facebook and I already hate their occasional recommended tweets.

Increasing the limit beyond the current arbitrary 140 character limit is good, but 10000 characters is a bit much. I'd rather see a small increase (maybe 160, 200?) and removing links and @'s from the count.

I agree with you on the jail comments not being appropriate but doing something through proxy doesn't make you less culpable. drone pilots still get ptsd (the ones with a conscience at least). Shkreli isn't a good guy on the wrong

While npm and semver are far from perfect, I've personally found them to make dependency management a lot less of a headache in node than, for example, python which is an absolute nightmare to deal with. You still have to make sure you

Ad blocking isn't just about improving "user experience." Current ad providers are so widely negligent and irresponsible with the content they allow on their networks that they are a tremendous security risk these days. It ta

considering 2.4ghz is basically unusable where i live this isn't really good news.

Seems more like an idiot test to me. If someone legitimately finds something this basic confusing they are going to constantly be running into problems and aren't suited for a programming job.

I strongly disagree with this. Being able to do a very simple task like increment or decrement a number inline is useful and reduces clutter and I've always found the idea that the operator complicates things ridiculous. The way they w

Well there's always antidepressants and stimulants to help with that. In all seriousness, don't become a drug addict but if you're really worried about that there's a decent amount of research going on into improving bra

There's no such thing as true reality since even the idea of reality is part of our survival mechanism.

If that's what happened then good, but it sounds like people who don't agree aren't getting kicked off youtube, they're just not shown to subscribers.

So in practice this means that if you pay for the subscription you get access to less content.

Yeah as long as this policy remains in effect nobody's going to get back on board.

I like what I've seen of ansible but a lot of their modules are a complete mess. I've run into problems with both their AWS and Docker modules and ended up resorting to a series of tasks running shell commands because it was more

There's a big difference between knowing something off the top of your head and doing some basic research before giving strangers your money.

This makes some sense as the only demographic group still interested in nudy mags are too young to legally buy them.
