Ironically on a punctuation blog, it looks like he has a punctuation typo in his title. In the headline, the semi-colon after "hyphen" should actually be a colon. So the corrected headline is "En dash, em dash and hyphen:

Yeah, you don't need TV news. TV news is mostly commentary these days Just check the AP & Reuters feeds each day. You'll get straight news, and you'll also save a lot of time.

Yea the building is open to the public; there is a hotel and I have stayed there, and some stores too; there's a grocery store on the lower level. I did some "sightseeing" indoors so to speak; I walked the corridor all the w

Oh my goodness, my employer uses Twilio as our phone provider. If people started blocking Twilio, then for example a customer might call our support team to ask a question, and then after we research the issue we would we unable to call hi

I noticed on his "About" page that he says that English is not his native language. So I'll cut him a break on spelling! I wrote to him with proofreading changes including this one, and he has now corrected them.

Weird; that console he's sitting at is not the type that is used for radio broadcasting- that console is for music production & mixdown. (Radio consoles don't have all those adjustments on each channel) Ironic that a prison

I see a lot of vitriol in this thread, but I can't seem to understand what harm would actually be caused? Would appreciate it if someone could give me an example or two. As in, "A bad thing that can happen to you as a result of V

Thanks, ok I just looked at that one too. Most of the examples on that page don't pertain to Google, and the ones that do pertain to Google are not harmful (e.g. targeted ads, or someone's emotional reaction to data collection).

The first sentence grabbed my attention, and I was looking forward to learning about the "threat that surveillance capitalism poses to democracy and human autonomy". But then the article fell flat: he gave no examples of that th

Why can't we take a fair use copy? That is not a violation of copyright. That's not covered under "Fair Use": see [1] for fair-use criteria. It is definitely a violation of copyright, yea. [1] http://fair

I saw that he mentioned a few of them in the article. He writes: I can tell you that virtually everything I’ve used, from networking (legacy to VPC) to storage (Cloud SQL v1 to v2) to Firebase (now Firestore with a totally different API)

I tried this in a few different browsers but the pages weren't rendered in that font as the site indicates. Instead it seems to be rendered in Comic Sans. Wonder if there's something I'm doing wrong.

How is ransomware able to spread to all the PCs in a company? (Especially PCs at different locations around the globe) The malware needs to execute itself on each computer. But I would think this would be thwarted by hardware firewalls as

Bloomberg has now revised the headline title to "China Sends 1.1 Million Party Members to Share Uighurs’ Homes". We should probably do the same here.

I think you mean "than", not "then". "than" is the word that fits in those phrases.

I read the link you provided, but there wasn't any "OMG yes" light-bulb moment in that article. Do I care if Google & Facebook track my viewing habits? I'm not sure I understand what the potential harm to me might b

I thought so too at first, but a few months ago I read the judges' decision in his appeal. He had actually ordered some murders as well, and that was factored into his sentence. The murders didn't actually take place, but he did

Oh, yeah I can explain that, no problem! I'm one of those people myself. I've never heard of a single example of potential harm that could come as the result of tracking. So as you can imagine, to me these articles seem like a

This article is pretty hard to see in its default rendition. Light text on a light background? Not sure that's the best design choice...

There are lots of typos and grammar errors on every page of the site. I would recommend getting those fixed, as this will cause you to lose credibility with potential customers. Visually attractive site design though!

To me that's one ingredient in quality journalism, actually. I feel more confident in a piece if it tries to include multiple points of view, multiple interpretations etc. Always good to see the "critics said x, but supporters sa

This paragraph midway through the article sums up their guess: ...the computer was in charge in 22 rear-end crashes, [so there is] reason to believe that the AVs are doing something that makes cars behind them more likely to hit them. Mayb

Thanks very much: we have been completely mystified at what these sites are doing by listing fake coupons for our business too. So basically it's just black-hat SEO; I should have guessed.
