Despite some comments here, I don't thing society will adjust to this for a long time, if ever. We already live in a world where you can create bias with words on a page or a website, moreso if they come via someone with influence. Ima

I'm surprised this isn't used in privacy arguments more often. Every time governments and politicians suggest tracking everything we do for our safety with the assurance our data is safe, surely it's prudent to point out that

Could that be confirmation bias as well? I have no idea how old you are, but quick knowledge graph result said "40% of men have noticeable hair loss by age 35, 65% by age 60, and 80% by age 80." FWIW, if I had a hair transplant pr

Anecdotally, I think people are voting for people who don't 'feel' like a politician. It doesn't so much matter what they're saying, more than they're addressing the specific issue that upsets you, and distanci

I remember reading about this a while back (probably on HN). They're storing a bunch of data along with the OSs and devices to read it in a bunker in Switzerland, so if we do leave a bunch of digital data, future generations can actual

Absolutely. I'll be totally fine with the lack of headphone jack when wireless headphones last 72+ hours on a single charge, or they charge wirelessly from the bag when I walk into my flat. Until then, wireless headphones are something

Annecdotaly many of the people I meet in WeWork aren't running startups. Just small businesses that don't want to work from home, or are a few people in size and don't want to have the hassle of renting office space, renting

Completely disagree. As someone that worked from home for 5 years, moving to shared workspace (coincidentally WeWork) provided the needed separation of church and state. I'm far more productive and I'm more than covered the costs

Perhaps, yup. I could be taking it entirely the wrong way, and maybe that's the beauty of it :-) I've spent a lot of time trying to deal with imposter syndrome. I guess I saw the parallel.

Why not ask users to set a unique phrase to identify themselves when you set up the OS? If this phrase isn't in the box that asks for a master password, you know it's phishing. Hell, just put that IN the copy on the master passwor
