I don't exactly agree with BuzzFeed's business practices because it uses a lot of clickbait tactics. For that reason this comparison carries a sort of negative connotation, although I understand it.

This is truly disheartening. I hope that other providers follow suit and choose the privacy of their customers over profits. This move is unacceptable by the Russian government. To save logs as required by this radical new Russian legislati

It seems like Dotcom these days just uses his position and his notoriety to push products that would otherwise not get much attention. He really tries to leverage his image as an "internet savior" who fights against the evil US go

I really don't think this is an important topic and the article is of little substance with a fairly clickbaity image to top it all off. However, I do agree that the comment styles mentioned in the article that Torvalds supposedly disl

Seems like this is mostly a bug fixing release. Solid stuff nonetheless. I recently learned Elixir and even though I came from an object oriented and imperative language background, I've fallen in love with the language. Switching back

Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't imagine that the legitimate cases for the use of ivory/elephant products are economically significant at all to the EU. Because of this, I'm confused as to why they would be treading s

I agree with this article, however, I think it might be preemptive. Her administrative penalties are completely separate from her possible prosecution by the DOJ or other entities. In fact, the Comey specifically stated that usually, a pers

Is it possible that this trend is due to companies taking in more interns and training them as opposed to normal hiring practices?

I still use GitHub but the best thing about GitLab for me was the integrated CI (which is amazing), and the fact that you can host GitLab on your own servers.

Let me be clear, I believe this is a step in the right direction. However, I remain generally skeptical of Facebook because I do not agree with a lot of their practices. I did not mean to be smug, I'm sorry if I came off that way. I un

Great. The info-graphic looks fantastic and it's quite accurate according to my own personal knowledge, I've experimented quite a bit with a lot of the tools that you mention. Great work!

True, however my point would be that when you have to selectively enable encryption, it only allows the government to more quickly find out who they consider suspect.

From what I understand this is a provision where companies and services who use encryption in Russia are required to provide the keys to unencrypt the data to the Russian government or else face fines and other penalties. This seems like a

As much as this is a step in the right direction, you have to specifically enable encryption for individual conversations in Messenger. This implementation seems a little sketchy to me. They really should just encrypt every conversation aut

I'm really skeptical about this. First of all, Facebook collects more user data than just about any company out there. They make most of their money off of advertising and harvesting user data and metadata. Facebook is just about the l

I don't think so. I still cannot watch a 720p Twitch stream on Chrome without lots of frame loss. I can watch those same streams just fine in Safari. In my opinion, Safari might be a bit behind on some of the standards but Chrome and F
