The Intercept, edited by Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald of the Snowden Disclosure group, is exactly that. https://theintercept.com/ Their website is clean and I have yet to see intrusive ads anywhere.

Does it matter? You may find their advice useful regardless of their intent. Personally I don't have enough time or energy to determine someone's intentions, I just position myself to be guarded against ill-intent.

The technique used will be passed on down to anyone that the FBI deems fit, be it public or private. There is no oversight or limitations. Complete and total lack of justification. There's a word for this -- corruption.

And is more testable. And is easier to bring web devs onto desktop app development. And is faster to prototype. And is probably a better way to develop desktop apps. </kool-aid>

Just want to throw Google Play Music into the mix (pun intended!) as I have been using it exclusively for the past few months. It is excellent and I cannot recommend it enough, and it is available in Canada (unlike SoundCloud Go).

How do you feel about Babel -- and, to a greater extent, ES6+ -- losing out to TypeScript due to the difficulty in getting into it? I use TS exclusively, and that is unrelated to working with it professionally on a daily basis. It is a thor

It is for this reason that I will avoid JS like the plague, and instead opt for TypeScript. I have been satisfied so far.

Some people think Java is icky and other people think the JVM brings too much baggage for their comfort. Warranted or not, it usually fills the space where fast microservices are necessary. Personally I think Go's closest competitor is

Anecdotal evidence here -- ordered mine on launch day, been using daily it for a few months. No issues whatsoever. FYI I have a case and I don't know anyone that uses a phone without a case.

But the Nexus 5X is larger than the Nexus 5. Comparing the 5X with the 6 and 6P is disingenuous -- the numbers refer to the phone size, not generation number.

I don't listen to albums anymore. Google Play Music has spoiled me -- their station selection is vast. Albums don't even mean anything to me. Plus I can upload all of my personal music collection to it and listen to it on the go

Node is very attractive for a variety of reasons, and TypeScript complements it like hand in glove (which is completely intentional, kudos to MS on that part). Transitioning to Node+TS from .Net is fairly straightforward (setting aside the

That's a testament to the inescapable conclusion that X11 is terrible for mobile devices. There's still Linux underneath -- it's not stock Ubuntu, not by a long shot -- but it's Linux.

I would look at this from a different point of view -- give people recourse against this kind of nonsense. Reduce the barrier for people to rightly protect themselves and help them wherever necessary.

It's not the web that we are losing -- it's the browser. It's all still HTTP requests and responses, but the web browser itself is becoming something very different from what it was a decade ago.

Do we station troops at every airport, school, stadium? No. Do we put video cameras outside of every person's home? No. Security is needs-based. If there is a high risk of attack then yes, otherwise no.

Current anti-air defense systems can eat Predator and Reaper drones for breakfast, and still ask for seconds. New anti-air defense systems defending against drone swarms will be developed.
