There was this interesting article which talks about some scientists suggesting an upper age limit: http://www.nature.com/news/human-age-limit-claim-sparks-deba... There are lots of disagreements and debate about the s

My corporate firewall has your domain name on a shitlist, for the stated reason of distributing viruses and malware. Have you been told this before?

Not sure, but it might be the celebratory factor. (Given that both UoH and F-secure are involved, it's a good bet that Mikko Hyppönen is involved in this somehow, who is a pretty famous security expert).

You need a lot to power a 4k, I'm actually okay I think with just 2k for laptops as of this point. We can start demanding 4k next year. What I'm disappointed by is the lack of usb 3.1 type c ports on brand new laptops. edit: sorry

I've tried these things with the kids I'm around (aged 2-7), and I was just met with frustration for all the things I tried (Doudou, Xubuntu, whatever). As much of a nix-zealot that I am, in the end I resigned to using an iPad wit

> You've zeroed in on something implicit in my argument: yes, with escalating power in society comes escalating responsibility not to do harm. So you're more a consequentialist than a deontologist, okay.

What is the correct response to someone like Brendan though? To monetarily support a movement that seeks to take away this right is morally reprehensible. As another poster said in this thread: with escalating power in society comes escalat

I like your thoughtful reply and agree with you, but want to point out that you are drawing somewhat arbitrary lines here on what is fine and what is not fine in supporting Trump. For example, wouldn't you agree that any of your cousin

1) Thank you for writing this! Some of the techniques you've outlined here, I have thought of so many times... but deemed them too dangerous. Your post has given me the courage to try some of this out on my own. To begin with, I will p

Incidentally that's also one of the advertised high points about iPhone 7 -- great pictures in low-light. As an aside, I find the attention to photography by Apple, Google, et al quite intriguing. It makes total sense. On social media,
