Clearly you haven't lived in close proximity to these people. They trickle in, respect no boundaries and no laws. Now if they integrated and contributed to the regions culture and economy, that would go a long way towards their accepta

They are Bangladeshi Muslims, much like the "Assamese" flooding the labor market in South India right now. Get ready for your comment to be down voted into oblivion, the usual reaction by ignorant SJWs. This place is getting to be

Anyone who understand Bengali should listen to the "Rohingya" language. The similarities are unmistakable, even if you can't understand either. If they really have been in that area since the 8th century - an assertion made b

I agree. Not only is it the fastest, it's also the most reliable. I have Firefox thrashing about more often than not, and I refuse to use Chrome or its google infected variants. Brave seems promising but doesn't yet have extension

Safari may be broken but it's not as broken as ie6 was back in the day.

I might have forgiven them if they had gone USB C. But they launched the 7 without a jack and the latest MacBooks without USB A so their latest phone couldn't connect to the latest MacBook without a single. I know - lightning to USB A

And the NSA is trustworthy. Okay then.

Microsoft and Google are definitely vectors both for themselves and as puppets for the US govt. Apple isn't there yet, but who knows when they'll be compromised.

The NYT had been quite biased for a long time. I think the last time they did any real journalism was during the first major Wikileaks story - the one where Greenwald played a big part.

The communities already there appear to be as toxic as reddit, so good job. I guess.

Can concur. I spent 5 years dealing with a German company and the obsession with spreadsheets, processes and plans for the most trivial of projects lead to major overruns. They're very good at creating big organisations but don't

The Paris attacks were coordinated by plain text SMS. This is just propaganda designed to lead to curbs on encryption. They won't focus on the real reason for modern terrorism, which is a certain abhorrent fascist ideology masquerading

That's pretty much what happens to de facto monopolies. I've heard much the same about Microsoft's program managers.

Why would anyone go back?

That cop belongs in jail. People who enforce the law should be held to higher standards. But he'll get paid leave, and will be back once it all blows over.

After buying a number of apple accessories, I've come to the conclusion that Apple treats them as disposable items. I've upgraded from the Apple 1 through 3 and then switched to the Fire stick. Airport Express? Got a number of tho

I don't care much for Apple but I agree they're the best of the lot when the lot consists of companies like Facebook, and Google. My beef with Apple is their holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to Apps on their store. They did

Secure means encrypted. Most people, leave alone journalists, don't know how to set up PGP and then use it properly. It's there right in the article as well; the reference to secure messaging vs secure email.

Interesting. I whitelisted this site, and 2 of the 4 ads it displays on each refresh are from Facebook. I've never had an FB account and they seem to know it.

Well, I do run a content blocker on macos/IOS which turns off all comments on all websites, but that's a trifle limiting. What annoys me about reddit comments are the pun "trains," endless reruns of old reddit jokes. Eve

Digg users didn't care when that site committed suicide. K5 users too moved on. Myspace, anyone? It's just a matter of time before reddit dies as well. Unlike google or facebook, there's not much value that a user can extract

I've been on BBSes and various forums since 1987. Reddit is the only site where I've been banned off a single sub. And this was to correct an error referencing my own work and expertise. As far as I can tell, they've gone ove

I now log into reddit very rarely and only to correct errors in comments where I am actually somewhat experienced. I've been gilded more than a few times and I've never come to know until the expiry notice shows up. So it's a

Fermented shark? TIL. I don't personally know what's wrong with soy, but an excess of anything is bad in the long run.
