I really like the content of FP and the Atlantic. Nevertheless, I already have a feedreader, and I don't need to see HN, or reddit turned into another RSS feed or twitter. If your stuff is good it will rise to the top. In the meantime, espe

Would you do me a favor, go check out the volokh conspiracy. In Chrome with adblock plus off, but disconnect on, no comments can be seen. Disconnect seems to find a google tracker that it blocks (but provides no other information on.) Tha

I've been using the lab feature, but I was hoping for a bit more. I would like to be using a web browser on a desktop, perform a search, get directions, and then choose to have the entire route's tiles sent to my phone. (Along with hotel,

I'd love a modern guide on how to secure a modern webstack. What do I really need to do to secure an EC2 image, or an AppEngine application or a Heroku application?

I think TSA here, in subway stations, and abroad (ask foreign travelers what they think of when traveling to the US) is responsible for a great deal of hate culture related to the US.

As an American my money goes against my wishes to fund a lot of hate culture in my own backyard that I think worsens the world and increases danger in far more destructive ways than Israel stupidly, but humanely, turning away tourists at

I have missed out on job opportunities and travel opportunities that were in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps people should know about that as well.

Thanks, that was an interesting, relevant, easy to follow explanation and dissection of the gender wage gap. An interesting infographic is present at http://www.payscale.com/gender-lifetime-earnings-gap And Robert Reich has been quoted (

In the context of the narrative itself ... And you gotta start there. See, I disagree that it has to start there. I love the movie, but I analyze it that Dan O'Bannon wrote a script in the 80s for an 80s crowd, and he knew that the audien

I enjoyed it, and I try to stay away from the gender stuff at HN because it is often trite in part due to the issue you are talking about. First though, I do think in Aliens, that part of the mens' and the audience's enjoyment and celebrati

Yes, it's because you're in the UK. For the most part, US carriers (including AT&T and US Tmo) have not yet released official ICS upgrades. http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2012/05/14/us-galaxy-s2-4-0-ic...

I got this plan last November. As of last November, it required a SIM from either, get this, Walmart, or 1-800-TMobile. You can't use a SIM from a T-Mo retail store. You can't buy a SIM from Walmart, but you can buy a $20 T-Mo phone and u

If not ad revenue on mobiles, or loss of cool, I think what will kill Facebook is when the EU or the FTC "realizes" that social media access is a critical part of the societal infrastructure and should be regulated by government and availab

Note that it isn't just the carriers that suck, it's the manufacturers too. I'm sorry for not including that in my comment, you're absolutely right. That's what I get for netflixing dr. who while browsing HN.

Oh I hope this is true. I sit here seven months after Google released the source to ICS, and still the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II has not been upgraded to Android 4.0, and today the rumor is it will be at least another month before TMo an

I'm thinking more of API access so that external apps can be created to link Facebook to other networks, so that tweets and google plus and tumblr posts and all that stuff can just flow from one network to the next like telephone calls can

Certainly what makes Facebook valuable is their huge network which is sustained, I think, through barriers to entry (network effect), and barriers to switching (owning your data). I wonder what might happen, if it could happen that the EU o

Is there any way to see the number of flags a link has accumulated?

Yes this is a cryptic response. Who has been compromised? What is the exposure? Password changing is recommended, but why? If they were using OAUTH, why is it necessary to change passwords? (And what about users of 2 step authentication?)
