This article is probably much more harmful than the security features it describes as dangerous...

+1 for everything you wrote. I'm still using quiterss and heavily relying on the filter actions on a daily basis. My only experience with an online self hosted client was tiny tiny, which I didn't like. Thanks for sharing the fres

Same here. To be honest, I was quite surprised to read about the "death" of RSS in Motherboard, I would have hoped they would rather write about how alive it still is despite uncountable attempts by tech and press Goliaths to get

Well, there is only one way to know if he/she will guess the reason :)

I agree with you but the way you express this is still too distant from each individual's experience for the audience to actually understand it. I tried above in another comment but I suspect I will get the same answers that you receiv

I think this article (and most comments below) failed to grasp a component that is highly relevant to the discussion: Google doesn't have a billion customers. Google is a company that collects data from over a billion human beings, th

+1 for "nothing better". I have been using RSS for years and select my sources of information depending on its availability. Some comments bring the question about the readers, and their exposure to publishers, who truncate their

I'd say there is too much effort in reasoning on the wrong problem. What worries me the most is the 'why': why do (too) many software developers don't know about sysadmin? I have been involved as a consultant in large so

I see the argument of "not enough hours of practice" in some comments. I disagree. That would be true if there was a direct correlation between moderate proficiency in computers (e.g.: ability to independently reinstall your machi

Good news for politicians. Only 5% of the population actually understand how dangerous they are for civil liberties.

Good thing Swiss citizens just refused the basic income, by vote. Goes along with today's vote: Swiss have authorized their own government to perform surveillance on them to "prevent terrorism"...

The Nth story about that guy who runs a business depending on Google services and suddenly starts telling everyone else they shouldn't run their business on Google services because Google services flagged them and they realized it was

This completely defeats the original purpose of this HN. Why would anyone invest effort in hosting an independent email server to have all its content routed clear-text through Google's servers/databases?

If you were able to defeat procrastination with a todo list, you were not a procrastinator. You just needed some organisation in your daily activities :)

Two strong assumptions in your comment: 1) "there won't be enough people giving back into the system" Considering the fact that we don't even know precisely how it will be financed, why is this already a conclusion? 2) &

We will be voting to implement the same mechanism in Switzerland in next June. Fear campaigns by right-wing parties are intensifying.

I am happy she is doing this. The price that paywalls are charging for accessing research papers is unacceptable: the money does not flow back to the researchers, nor to the institutions. Most of the paywalled research has been sponsored by

The Law defines the existence of a basic income for all citizens and the conditions it should meet, literally, "to allow any citizen to live with dignity and participate in the social life". The exact amount of the income is unkno

I don't understand why would anyone choose to have STD's testing performed while having sex... If they really invented an affordable STD testing kit, why not simply sell it as-is? I don't get it.

Your comment makes a lot of sense and yes, the visa hassles are obviously the most logical reasons why any "foreigner technology worker" should try working elsewhere than in the US. But you know what? I don't think they can &
