Forgive me for not looking at Chrome's source code on this, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that Chrome doesn't encrypt the passwords on the disk. You can easily do better than this while maintaining all of your current

This isn't a matter of police officers surrendering rights. It's a matter of whether or not they get special rights to privacy. If I can be recorded with video or audio, so can they. If they can have video/audio recordings in their vehic

By the way, you ~could~ argue that Sally could get by with less money for Social Security, Medicare, and benefits. It wouldn't work, though, as it would be predicated on the idea that individual endeavors would be more sustainable than lar

This is a ridiculous article. By ignoring the reality and focusing on only a small aspect of the economy, the author attempts to covey the idea that the current tax structure is not only bad for business, but bad for employees. The author

It does sound gross. I'll admit that. A friend of mine, after hearing about all the gorey details, hated the idea. He said it was intrusive and ripe for abuse. Every bit of that is true. Your reservations are accurate and commendable.

I don't think so. Viewing one's site in terms of game mechanics is a fun idea and has some basis in game theory. However, all I really have to do is offer a winning value proposition. If you are a hiring manager and are rated fairly low

That's great -- assuming your applicant pool is small. Some employers throw out any application that's not printed on resume paper with the watermark oriented appropriately and an attractive font/style, et cetera. Are these metrics truly i

Would love to have more insight from you on this. "Downer" and "demotivational" seem to indicate that you're approaching this from the perspective of an employee. The site does not operate according to the willingness of employees to be ev

Interestingly enough, 10 point "employees" can and do have trouble differentiating themselves. MIT Ph.D. admission, for instance, is rather selective. There is much research available demonstrating that there is a huge qualitative differe

Excellent question. He doesn't. But, of course, he doesn't control his ranking -- others do. So, deleting his account doesn't do anything to remove his ranking. Perhaps people who are below average will then drop off and the cultural rel

People adjust very quickly and easily. Much of the inefficiency the commenters on this thread observe are either the result of intent or indifference. We've had the technology for years to make for "better" traffic flow. Studies have bee

Diaspora isn't the answer. It's reactionary. It tries to deal with privacy concerns but is limited because it ignores the utility of Facebook. If I meet someone, I can exchange a lot of information with them by merely sharing my Facebook

Privacy is a major concern. But, also, functionality is very important. If you want to topple Facebook do two things: Guarantee privacy and revolutionize functionality. Here's how: Privacy; The Zero-Knowledge Database. By relying upon th
