I have not gotten the feeling that Turkey is no longer a democracy? I have to admit that I haven't researched it much, but I haven't heard anything in the mainstream media about fraud during the elections or the referendum to expa

If you're ever again in a discussion with people who claim they have nothing to hide from their government because medieval things don't happen in modern democracies.. just point them to Turkey. Or perhaps the States under Trump.

Just because there are legitimate reasons for sending all that data doesn't mean it's not also usable to track you or whatever. In fact, having all that data in the first place lowers the barrier to start using it for other things

Your entire comment is a straw man. The article doesn't claim the internet ruined journalism, and I don't even know where your "end of the world" comment is coming from. You're also comparing papers like the New Yor

I've never found the bang functionality very useful. Perhaps because Chrome offers that out of the box in the URL bar.

Try startpage.com. I moved away from google a year ago and never looked back. I've never once needed to fall back to google. That's probably because startpage.com is basically anonymized google. I know we're supposed to roo

You need to do some testing of course. "IMMEDIATELY" doesn't mean within 5 seconds. If you can't properly apply security updates in a reasonable time frame without it leading to major outages, something is extremely wron

That explains why the font looked so familiar. I've been using DejaVu Sans Mono since forever and it's great.

Literally nothing you're saying makes any sense on any level. This looks more like markov-chain generated text.

"Doomed" to me doesn't sound like "not expected to grow". It sounds more like "expected to die off". I mean, tv sales have been dropping for the last few years, but we're not saying the tv market is d

Managers often think throwing more hardware at the problem will fix things. But hardware scales sub-linearly. Solving the actual underlying problems can easily get you exponential payoffs. Anecdote: One of my managers once spent €70000¹ wor

I'm of the believe that anonymity is a requirement for having truthful discussions. I sometimes hear people say "if you believe in what you're saying, you shouldn't do it anonymously". But there are plenty of topics

I'm growing increasingly worried about the naming and shaming of people with not a single shred of evidence. What I have to wonder is, these people are speaking up against harassment, but they can't seem to follow their own rules.

Use startpage.com. I've tried DDG a few times over the last years. The results where reasonable when it was still using Google as a backend. Since it's switched to something else (Bing?) it's horrible. startpage.com gives me

The thing is that we're pretty sure our theories are right, but we're still missing a bunch of stuff. We've named that stuff "dark matter". There's really not much to be skeptical about as far as I know. I ha

As far as I understand it: All kinds of stuff is happening in the universe that can only happen if there's much more gravity than we can explain with the matter we can actually observe. So there has to be something more than the observ
