I agree. The only way to fix this is to remove immunity for all cops in all cases and start holding them responsible like we do regular citizens, if not to even more stringent rules. This is first and foremost a cultural problem however, on

"If police did that to a hero who are they willing to go for bat for????" No one. This should be obvious if you're living in the US. Even if you've never had an encounter with police, watch ANY cop show, especially the

This is why it's a terrible idea in the US to tell anyone about your problems, especially mental problems. Help is NOT out there unless you're extremely lucky and rich. Most likely, there are a bunch of goons like in this articl

This is a huge step forward as I assume those trackers they're talking about include all ads by definition (anyone know of any ads that don't track?). If that is indeed the case, this seems to be the first browser from a major ven

Amazing how much backlash there was at the idea of legally requiring software to explain its decisions, but this is one example out of many that makes it clear that we either require it or people will die from software with bad intentions.

Why should anyone have empathy for those that have no empathy for anyone?

That's pretty irrelevant. I base my assessment of the horrific parenting in this country on our poor and still falling educational achievements and the censorship houses our universities have turned into. I understand that the law enfo

I find it ironic that in America, where child rearing is the epitome of life in mainstream culture, parents are so awful at it, especially at instilling independence and freedom, something we claim to value more than anything. This article

Check out Stanford's NLP libraries. We've been using those in production for years now. The documentation around it is not great, but the tools work well.

After I lost my dad, that's what the therapist I tried to see said: "Deal with it." At that point, I realized I was wasting my money. It took many more years, almost losing everything, and sheer fucking willpower to undo what

Losing steam? You mean the theory was discredited because there isn't any proof whatsoever of it being true and we don't have the means currently to prove or disprove it (measuring said chemicals while the brain is alive). I'

Manipulating a foreign election, especially to the detriment of that country, is morally wrong. We have a lot of laws in place to prevent this being done. The leaks are irrelevant. The arrogance is disgusting.

Here's a couple of things you can try: * Drop linux on it with a simple GUI on it and lock the machine down. Don't give him root access or admin rights. Make sure the machine updates and backs itself up without intervention. * Set

Assange can publish whatever the fuck he wants, but this claim is truly beyond arrogant: "This is why, irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public which is better informed as a res

In the last few years, since the Walking Dead series came out, my sister has gotten into videogames for the first time really in her life and we play together. This was not the case when we were kids. It is not the case for most videogames.

I'd add WiFi to the list of wireless technologies Apple is too incompetent to implement properly in their laptops along with RF and Bluetooth, but it was already on the list for a few years now. These are the kinds of problems I wouldn

Unless you use their API. Or you invited external users. Or you use one of the other features that lock you in. In fact, I think Slack wrote the letter because they feel so confident that they've locked in their current customers. Swit

Any 15" Retina MBPro from late 2013 onwards and Airs from 2015 onwards can do 4k @ 60hz. I'm doing it right now on a late 2013 rMBPro.

How about huge monetary penalties enforced on these companies by law, instead of hoping that the industry police itself? There is no way anything else is going to work and hell will freeze over before abuses stop voluntarily.

This is why we need strict, very harsh penalties for abuse of copyright (and patent laws). This has NOTHING to do with copyright, yet these Samsung assholes file claims with Youtube? How about 1% net revenue fine for every wrongful copyrigh
