I'm not going to lie, the social pressure is non-zero, and it is indeed another lever for micromanagers to pull, but I think you're being overly pessimistic here. The impact of this tech has not yet been fully explored and we may

The article highlights exactly what you're advocating -- discretion is the better part of valor. Collecting data != harassing employees, not by a long shot. It would be the height of foolishness to use this data for any critical decisi

The article mentions most medallions are backed by credit -- that would mean the drivers would be put in a position of defaulting on their now-worthless medallions. Such investments would destroy their financial prospects for the near futur

I was under the impression that it was part of a regular fire safety program in all public schools (mentioned once at the very least) -- they're known as controlled burns[1]. Prescribed burning[2] has been present in forest fire manage

NodeJS was forked into io.js, which continued ahead onto 2.0 and 3.0. Now the two projects are merging back and they are continuing with io.js version numbering rather than Node's, starting with version 4.0 today.

Contrasted with China's shifting to population growth from economic growth, this is definitely going to resonate with Western leaders. Honestly though, if we are go with UBI, can we ask ourselves what is really necessary in life? Cur

It's not authoritarianism, it's trust. We already trust large aspects of our lives to machines, it's time we take that trust to the next level. If and when it happens, nobody will miss having to manage large fleets of contain

I can't help but disagree -- they are caught between a rock and a hard place. Following the demands of one Federal government (Brazil) will result in them violating the laws of another (US). They are fighting for a unified legal regime

Human discretion is the bedrock of modern legal systems across the world -- at the risk of inappropriately quoting an aphorism on HN, there are exceptions to every rule. Such exceptions are sometimes codified in law, but the idea is that ou

Can we settle for containers instead? For example, running Chrome in a Docker container. Why not? Drawbacks? Security risks? Feasibility? I understand that users download things but personally I can't recall doing that in recent memo
