What we were trying to do was help the parents to teach the kids to self-soothe. So in effect, we weren't saying that they wouldn't wake. We were saying that they would wake, but they wouldn't have to signal their parents. T

Folks don't need to accept all the baggage that comes with the "defund" label. You can want rigorous oversight and oppose wasteful spending of public dollars by just being a normal person who always wants those things.

Let's make sure we add "gunshot detection" to this list, since that is the currently popular for-profit junk science product that police are pouring millions of dollars into acquiring all over the US.

presumably Isn't the answer to your question buried in your assumptions? For example, you seem to assume the rate of comsumption of unique IDs is static.

The author of the post is replying to an NYT article [0] complaining that the US doesn't actually destroy nukes, but rather aims to recycle materials and so stores those materials in the meantime while awaiting need for those materials

If after witnessing a Rackspace meltdown someone is still a glutton for guaranteed pain and wants to go down with the Hosted Exchange ship, Intermedia has been around doing it for a long time. Otherwise, SMEs should find a good value-add li

All levels of awareness have responsibility. While telcos and ISPs do have enforcement mechanisms when they are made aware, using Cloudflare's own suggested model, Cloudflare is closer to the content and therefore responsible earlier.

At all levels, and Cloudflare isn't exempted from that. Social media platforms already routinely decline to host content via moderation.

by loteck 4y ago
Turns out there's no such thing as neutrality. Connecting content to the world is a choice your team approves or declines. You can complain about scalability of that decision all you want. Cloudflare is not neutral, and will never be.

I use Publii for a blog and enjoy it. I wanted actively developed static site generation with some reasonable template/theme options, and I didn't care about multi-user or team collaboration. I achieved multi-device sync via stori

Some commenters may need to think about distinguishing between burnout and actual medical depression. You're burning out when you stop caring about something unfinished that you previously cared for and spent time on, and rationally sh

Am I the only one scratching my head over people, who are themselves giving advice on this website, saying not to take advice from people on this website? Seems self-defeating.

Important to scroll up and see that this statement is made in the context of Dan Luu discussing how expressing an interest in writing can be damaging for your job prospects, regardless of your other merits/skills. Patrick is chiming in

Why should a corporation design its information controls for users who "care" about infosec, rather than designing for the overwhelming amount of users who don't care at best , and at worst are insider threats?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a pretty big difference between a "moral compromise" and a modal to entice a potential customer to buy? I'm not clear on how enticement even comes close to being a "dark

Love the no tracking mojo, but it would be great if I could be able to "collapse" (equivalent to HN [-]) a site (hide all that site's stories) and have that setting remembered when I come back. Putting it another way, I'

Apple and Google are doing their best to redefine the term privacy to mean "information choices you make within the confines of our total surveillance." Prisoners are free to move about in their own cells.

I think the last 30 years of failed government efforts to effectively end the use of secure encryption contradict your opinion. Those battles were won by vigilant defenders. You can and should join them if it's important to you.

By all means contact and organize on Senators, it's good practice. In my experience they are completely unresponsive to anything smaller than the largest and most funded groups. Still, making noise is only good. You may find your local

Let's have no fear to face down our opponents' claims. Senators pushing this bill laid down their claims in a document [0], and everyone should put on their critical thinking caps and grapple with it. [0] https://www.do

The 3 Techdirt links in the article are especially helpful for catching up. EARN IT is another skirmish in the 30+ year old Crypto Wars. For those who care about defending privacy and encryption, exhaustion is not an option. Power-hungry go
