lol, "nazism is not an ongoing danger" This is amazing, it's like Charlottesville never happened and Bannon never had the president's ear.

Tube barriers have the same problem, although it's not really environmental. Ever seen Canary Wharf station (jubilee line) at 6pm? Or almost any DLR station where there's only two or three oyster card readers for an entire station

The Naturalization Act is actually quite interesting. Hadn't heard of it before being non-American. Looking into it, it seems like the act caused a load of confusion over race and nationality from the start, all the way up to the early

I honestly don't think these interviewees know what they're talking about. The most objective argument I have to support this is that they keep talking about "whites" as a race. Never "white Americans", "c

This was my problem when I rented a keyless car for the first time last year. To preface, it was a v6 mustang which I wasn't actually expecting to be quiet, but in comparison to what I'm used to it was practically silent. Consid

I already have. But I like to double up on my privacy controls where possible, just in case. Opening up incognito takes a fraction of a second more, it's become part of my workflow.

I honestly think this is very, very user dependent. Mainly because if Google's ad tech wasn't working, they wouldn't be making so much money.... You, I, and everyone else on this site don't represent the average user. Pe

Although it initially seems kind of scummy, isn't this better than the majority of ad services anyway? In exchange for selling your medical data, you get a discount. It's essentially getting paid for sharing your data. Of course i

It's not just exploits tbh. Apple have really, really good tools for locking down and monitoring iPhones. The device enrolment thing they have is fantastic, and very streamlined. Meanwhile I have no idea what's going on with Andro

What I've heard from friends who've worked in pizza delivery places, as well as making it from scratch myself on occasion, the margins are insanely high. Which makes sense considering it was originally a peasant food. Pizza dough

Isn't that reassuring in its own way? If a bear charges at you, even with bear spray, there's still a reasonable chance you're going to meet your end. And you'll be looking at it in its face. At least with an ambush it w

I think a better argument is that between a third and a half of all people on Earth see enough value in some elements of social networks to sign up for them. A lot of people I know only use Facebook for messenger. Some only use it for priva

They also said the words "cock up" They're very likely in the UK. They are very likely getting underpaid for dev work, unless they're a contractor. Our salaries are definitely lower here than in the states.

I live in London, visited LA (not SF but kind of similar?) The wealth inequality was massively more visible in LA. Far more homeless people. Neighbourhoods were either rich or poor, there wasn't any mixing. OFC London has similar probl

Ah that explains it, I'm in the south. I've seen the glamping sites with yurts in the lake district before, but I assumed they're few and far between. Guess I was wrong.

Why does every new site/technology have to be related to cryptocurrency? I was keen on this up until I saw it uses ethereum and my vaporware senses all triggered at once. I'll put 5 SCL, or 10 schrute-bucks, on the whole purpose o

Just checked and yup, all the planted five star reviews are at the top despite having no more than one "helpful" reports. Negative reviews with up to ten "helpful" reports are on at least page two. This is while sorting

My old company did that. PR sent an email to all staff saying "please leave us a good review on Glassdoor". I checked and the week before four new reviews had come up, all using the same writing style, all incredibly positive. Stu

Another point in favour of Anarchism being a crucial part of the 20th century: the Haymarket affair. We wouldn't see an eight hour working day as normal without the literal sacrifice of anarchists in he late 19th century.
