What an awful way of looking at things. So anything you do in the car is irrelevant to the outcomes and shouldn't be punished? Would you have said the same about DUI?

Sidewalks are not bike lanes, and are not appropriate for biking on.

Case after case in the US has shown that all you need to do is claim it was an accident and you'll receive the most minor of slaps on the wrist.

Sure, which was exactly my point. There are a multitude of external pieces of data that can be used to track you down if the people going after you have the resources.

"especially if the FBI is the one hunting" is very true. Even using TOR, I remember a college student who made a bomb threat over TOR to get out of a test and got caught because they were able to see the activity on the TOR networ

The VPN he was using honestly would have been fine to protect you from drag-net style surveillance, but he was specifically targeted by the FBI. By the time the FBI opens a case against you you're most likely totally fucked, regardless

That's interesting, but basically totally useless information to anyone who doesn't have the product :P

I occasionally bike with one earbud in with just normal wired earbuds and tuck the other one into my shirt. What am I missing out on with wireless earbuds?

100% agree. And it's unfortunate that articles like this end up being the ones discussed, it actually hurts privacy discussions by moving the conversation away from your "This data could be better anonymized and published" to

Why don't you post links to every single social media account you own here? And then we can go through them all and see what we find, and then we'll store it for use later. Make sure you don't leave any out.

Firefox's reader mode is incredibly useful and a vision of a much better future.

Can anything really be "Google-Fi exclusive"? Aren't Fi phones just phones that have radios for every US band and a Fi SIM card?

When people think of "urban planning" their minds often jump immediately to large-scale infrastructure changes or totally designed cities built from the ground up, but it's exactly these sorts of little things that are actual

Small and midsized US cities desperately need a small (or large) urban planning revolution. Cars are considered the "default" too often, especially in cities under half a million in population. It's these cities in particular

I wasn't allowed any TV when I was a child and I definitely had a similar experience, any time I was near to a TV my eyes were glued on it and my attention was completely held. When I was a little older (highschool) I got my hands on a

intercom noise that's a strike, Sir_Cmpwn. Stay in line.

There's nothing "sick" or bad about not having kids if you don't want to have kids. There's a really awful way of thinking that having children is the default option, and not having them is something you need to exp

TransUnion broke on the second to last step of setting up an account for me. "Technical difficulties" message.

Plus a phone has a much shorter life, batteries you can't change on your own, accidental destruction, a laptop will last longer than a phone.

I think it varies and a lot of companies do it differently. I had a part time internship with a software company over the spring semester which "ended" at the end of the semester but that was just a formality to start a new intern

Sure, but the effort would be better spent on another Valve project. HL3 just straight can't live up to expectations, it will be disappointing no matter how good it is because it's been drummed up for years and years as the best p

by m3rc 9y ago
Exactly. Not only will we never see HL3, we SHOULD never see HL3. It's so ubiquitous as some sort of second coming of Gaming Christ that no option existed except to have it be disappointing. It would have been Duke Nukem all over again

I have friends who live in different physical locations than me or work different schedules than me. Should I decide the friends I just saw off to grad-school are now dead to me, able to speak to their other friends but not me, the zen mast

That's a great way to convince yourself you're becoming some sort of productivity Übermensch and never end up speaking to your friends again.

What was stopping people from taking the same click-bait approach to the text titles? Titles on reddit are still pretty damn nondescript, and rarely have actual relevant information in them.
