I don't think the myth of a theoretical "free" market holds any water and can be applied sensibly to any real world scenario. In the actual free market a giant megacorp would swoop all promising hires and suppress all competi

Forcing people to change their interests based on an agenda only results in them being even less interested than they were in the first place. There is also the backlash to the nonstop pushing of politically-based hiring instead of meritocr

Visa confirmed this... on Coinbase's blog. Why didn't they post it on their own website?

What if I set my resolution to 3840x2160? Do you think it's about raw pixel count? Widescreen resolutions make most people more productive.

Visa has vested interest in cryptocurrencies never getting anywhere. They have a motive to make them seem like a dangerous investment. I'm not saying that a purposeful action happened here, but it is a possibility.

Being distracted is never a benefit, but being able to see two or three files together and compare them is. At any rate, it's just extra space that you can leave blank if you wish. I see no upsides of 4:3.

Just open two buffers side by side and it's almost like you have two 4:3 monitors. Isn't that better?

The author presents his own personal opinions as though they were shared by the majority of programmers, but they're not. 4:3 ratio offers little space and I found that I actually prefer ultrawide monitors (21:9) to regular HD ones. Th

Like I said, all existing tracking methods can be fooled. Poisoned data isn't worth much. People who want anonymity know how to completely throw off commercial trackers to the point where they are useless.

Why would a VPN provider disclose customer info to a random third party? Why would you assume that the majority of VPN providers lie to customers? Why do you think people who want to stay anonymous don't know how to throw off browser f

And how exactly?

>and that true anonymity doesn't exist either Yes it does, you are mistaken. An IP does not identify you if it's a proxy server or a VPN or a Tor node. All existing tracking methods can be fooled.

I don't think it's a matter of affording something better since GNU/Linux is free.

People always hate redesigns of popular services, and the truth is that it doesn't matter. A redesign has never encouraged any significant % of users to leave any service. People hated Windows 8, new Youtube looks, new Facebook timelin

Surveillance cameras in malls and shops are often installed in places where they are easy to spot because they are an effective deterrent. Even if they are nothing more than decoys. I wouldn't expect many surveillance cameras to be hid

The problems the author has still can be solved with a flexbox, it's just that a grid offers an alternative. There are justify-content and align-items properties that with a properly designed nested arrangement of flexboxes can help to

To have your account erased as opposed to "deactivated" (which doesn't really do anything) the surefire method is to spam gore images on popular groups.

If despite these practices and despite you realizing what a horrible breach of trust this is you still don't consider it the last straw and do not get your account banned (which erases all information about it forever, at least from th

I find grids too complex to be useful, and their applications are very limited. Now that we have flexbox we can use that to create any sort of layout that's also very responsive and scales well on all sorts of devices. The grid seems k

Yeah, somehow all the crypto naysayers always refuse to put their money where their mouths are. I wonder why.

You sound very confident. Why don't you short the cryptocurrencies you are sure are going to "come crashing down" to make a lot of money?

Long before that happens we will have already moved to better, more advanced crypto currency systems. Bitcoin is not the only alternative and its importance is dwindling. "Mining incentive" won't even have any meaning by the

The greatest thing is that nobody's "letting" invest anyone anywhere here, because nobody has any authority over the system. Rather than being "allowed"to invest in crypto, you are _free_ to invest in crypto.

Furthermore, what is even meant by this "tap"? For most attackers breaking OpenVPN + HTTPS is just plain impossible, even if they somehow intercept the connection and position themselves between the VPN end point and the target se

We've seen this little bit of FUD several times in the past and it's as inaccurate as it has always been. VPNs cover some scenarios but the author makes unreasonable, extreme demands and wants them to provide security no entity lo
