If you're using tor browser, what's the best way to discover .onion sites, and (as important, to me), avoid coming across disturbing, unpleasant or illegal material? Anyone have curated directories of onion sites they'd like

I did not have a chance to see Al Jazeera America, but based on the number of times John Oliver used AJA clips on his show, and based on the topics related to those clips, I strongly suspected I was missing out. I'd like to know when t

It includes the firmware for a widely-deployed missile system. [How well is military firmware protected, anyway?] Even if you can't use that to improve your own missile designs, it's possible that it could lead to potential count

I was surprised too. It's not that it's dangerous, it's that it's potentially sensitive military technology. According to the WSJ story[1] cited in this link, "the shipping crate was clearly marked as containing ma

What you're saying is true, but it's also interesting to me that studios could potentially get by with less. Young Harrison Ford in the late 1970s might have been willing to trade away the use of his likeness in future Star Wars f

I agree with you (such_a_casual). I think my judgement was skewed because I'm one of those critics.

Doesn't seem that editorialized. The "roadblock" is the feedback from critics, and the Economist's subhead is "Critics argue Mark Zuckerberg’s generosity is a cover for a land-grab".

Ugh. I know it's just an example, but stamps.com is one of those "borderline legal frauds", a step away from phone slamming. Opt-in renewal, online signup and "you have to call us to unsubscribe". Now I think of s

The article didn't answer the question, and I very curious -- if you're basically taking people's property and keeping 20% of the rake, how do you manage to lose billions in the process? Is it that the 20% is actually alloca

If you've never been uncomfortable with how they've touched you, maybe it's probably because you've never been firmly searched. I thought the "light touch" was universal, but once I did get an agent who really

It's hard for me to see the case for owning your own 3D printer, unless that's the hobby. There's no point in having the printer until I have something I want to print, if I want to print something, there are commercial servi

My concern is that the incentives are not aligned with ever-increasing bandwidth. If my ISP can provide 100mbps and then milk that deployed infrastructure with data usage caps, they'll do it, unless competition appears. The EPA mandat

I personally think it's a combination of things. Sometimes Congress is just on board with what's happening. Sometimes they don't have an idea what's happening. Other times, the surveillance state has their finger on t

I think these lies absolutely matter . It's a war of propaganda that can lead to real legislation. I think the "PATRIOT Act" (and the "USA Freedom Act", for that matter) show that the surveillance state has a way

Also inexcusable that Carney's bio is not the first sentence in the post. It's also standard in newspaper opinion pieces to put the bio at the end. I actually prefer it -- as a game -- to guess who writes the author's paych

The name "Skarp" -- possibly in conjunction with "Kickstarter" -- immediately made me think of "scarper", i.e. the process of fleeing, ideally with the big bag of crowdfunding money.

My point is that it can still be a false positive, even though "detecting weed" and "using weed" both occurred. The dog "alerted" for drugs, but the dog can't testify as to why -- because it actually smell
