I can recommend trying a chromebook. You get a "linux" (crouton) laptop with excellent battery life and you don't have to spend hours upon hours of wrestling with custom wifi firmware, etc. The only drawback is that disk spac

I'll be glad if ext* support is removed from Files.app. I once had it corrupt my externally mounted ext3 hard disk and lost a ton of data. I never should have been doing that kind of thing with Files.app in the first place. It's r

Stories like these are exactly why I won't even touch an iOS device. It's the wrong app ecosystem for creative innovation and freedom.

Yeah I am getting also a 402 response from the tracker. I wish they would have put up a BEP or something with an explanation of how they're extending the tracker protocol...

Yeah it does. Apps can have permission to the current tab when you click on their action icon (either in URL or to the right of it) I agree though that this app has permissions that are too broad.

I spent a day trying to overcome the tethering restriction on my T-Mobile unlimited data prepaid Moto-G. I tried changing some tether_dun_required setting (mentioned in parent), which required me to root my phone. That didn't have any

Great idea! If I ever take a salary position again I'll definitely make this a part of my employment agreement!

This has a ton of great information and background but could definitely use some splitting up and organizing IMO. I don't know anybody but the most dedicated who could spend the hours it would take to digest this. It reads almost like

Maybe he was breathing some residual company oxygen while he was in his home working on this software. It would follow that he used company resources and thus the software he created must belong entirely to his former employer.

I would argue that this is a moot point since computer hardware is a commodity. Most companies around here buy their employees new hardware and said employees will simply use them for all their computing needs as is convenient (would you tr

Does this have a companion android/iOS app to upload location data? I really like the idea of self hosting something like this.

I'm frankly surprised that more people don't share your point of view. I am personally for gay rights and gay marriage and the such but I a can also respect that people will have different views about the matter and that I don&#x2

I hate titles like this. Obviously nothing will decrease your risk of death because your death is 100% guaranteed.

Nice article. Coinbase should be paying you for your service!

This article reminded me of the "four agreements": "Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best." Not lying falling under the first.

"With a track record of zero deaths or serious, permanent injuries since our vehicles went into production six years ago, there is no safer car on the road than a Tesla." I recall one Tesla caused death[1], and I'm sure there

They are using something called http://www.sheerid.com/ to verify student status. This strikes me as a little strange that such a service exists, does that not violate HIPPA laws?

I would hardly call that an essay. I would call it propaganda straight out of a public high school civics/US History textbook.

I see it requests both these permissions: - View and manage the files and documents in your Google Drive - View and manage documents that this application has been installed in The second one seems reasonable. But the first has this descri

I thought the way android apps can lock down information away from other apps is they are able to set permission bits to be for their own unix "user" (e.g. each app gets their own userid). It's conceivable that WhatsApp simpl

I think I find myself in a minority that thinks "sudo apt-get install nginx" is much simpler and who doesn't care about edge cases. If there's an edge case, something is wrong with my machine and it should die.

Seriously. Manually mute your mic. This applies to everybody who uses hangouts or conferences with anything, ever.

It is a very thorough exposition. However, I have to ask, what does this "burrying" mean?

One of my favorite features of infinite scroll is how it can make clicking on the footer of a page nearly impossible. E.g. try clicking on "About" or "Careers" on the bottom of http://venturebeat.com
