...unless they were very obviously made up and the person making them of little public importance, in which case it would probably be more damaging to even acknowledge them as being worth discussion.

Is this really true? Do you only drink pure de-ionized or distilled water? It is certainly important for some applications, but I don't know many people who find it palatable on its own. Pretty much any water you buy or get from your t

Well that certainly is disappointing.

uBlock Origin can be used to block requests made by the browser and by extensions. The logger UI allows you to inspect these requests, and the 'behind-the-scenes' keyword can be used instead of a domain to construct blocking rules

If you have redshift installed but want to use this instead of xrandr to change color temperature you could run the following as a script: redshift -m dummy | while read line;do sct "${line/Temperature: /}";done

My odd mnemonic is associating "latitude" with the fictitious word "flatitude", since in the most frequently used projections latitude lines are straight and horizontal.

Out of naïveté I am curious: if it is the right to not incriminate yourself that prevents a defendant from being forced to unlock her phone, is it different if the evidence being sought is against a third party? That is, could someone who h

I was in Chicago with my family recently and purchased a one-day pass for the CTA. When I returned home I found you could create an online account connected to the card, ostensibly to be able to fill it up automatically, but also to track y

It takes a bit of learning upfront, but uBlock's Advanced User interface[0] is actually quite good if you're looking for NoScript-style site-by-site configuration. It's certainly not going to work for all users, but it's

So, uBlock then. Set 3rd-party, 3rd-party frames, and 3rd-party images to default-deny. As above, you can effectively block GA even if the noscript loads an iframe if you can block that iframe. Or, if you are a serious, no-nonsense paranoia

Similarly, I found a used pogoplug at a thrift shop with a $5 sticker on it. I bought it knowing little about it but suspecting it could be hacked. At the checkout they told me the sticker color indicated it was half off, so it cost me less

If my local politicians are any indication, the ones who were in office during the 'tough-on-crime' era, particularly of the 80's and 90's, tend to speak as if the convicted are reprobate, can never fully 'repay&#x2

Even a few years ago, the amortized price per kWh of installing, operating, and maintaining a solar installation was lower for an end-user than the price they would be paying the utility for electricity, in most parts of the U.S. In places

My apologies for suggesting that you would be callous and unsupportive of a colleague in such a stressful situation. It's easier to understand how this connects the industry to such abuses by bringing one's company into the discus

Given the responses I see here, it seems pretty obvious that this is a 'problem with the industry' regardless of whether it's a problem with or that sprouts from the internet. It seems evident that Jess has experienced terrib
