Sharing something doesn't mean people have read it in full. :) I know I sometimes start reading an article, "get where it's going" and pass it on. More often than not, sharing long article is a form of self-praise (for m

People are comparing it to the times when here was less screening. Some people probably also assume that higher perceived level of threat that justifies tighter security is not a result of natural development, but of direct action by govern

That is exactly what DST does. Once a year everybody shifts their schedule one hour earlier and start working and go to school one hour earlier.

Are you saying that Trump is not Hitler because times are different or that he won't be elected because times are different? Third Wave experiment and some others showed that you don't need desperation to succumb to the strong lea

I'm delighted to see Congress taking a stand for's right here, and I hope politicians finally realised they do have a personal stake in the matter. They do have secrets, like most of us and effects of revealing these secrets would

And one more car analogy. If someone comes up to your car, pulls the door (issues a request) and based on the fact that it opens (responds 200), drives away in it, that would be seen as grand theft auto. Whether the lock was implemented poo

To make it clear, I'm not comparing Facebook to NSDAP, merely commenting on the value of non-participant's observations.

Whether author's "whining" is justified or not, his outlook is valuable because the break gave him a perspective that we lack while living in and through the change. I can imagine a person who went to jail before the rise of

_Most_ people like living it in a bubble and go to lengths to create a comfortable bubble. That's why we hang out with like-minded friends, choose jobs at companies we share values with, watch Vice and not Fox News (or vice versa), etc

They were clones of 8088, so fully compatible. I got one at the scrapyard in early 90s and used it till 1996 or so when my family could afford a 386, also plenty pre-loved.

Brick and mortar is a closed model. Quite literally. Flash, ActiveX and Java applets are a "brick and mortar" of the web and thank god they're long dead as means of web design. Luckily, there is a "brick and mortar"

That probably must exist to track potential problem with donor's blood in case it wasn't spotted And also, people generally like being appreciated personally. I'd imagine that named donations prevail over anonymous in most ca

Very basic dashboard and reporting made me think it must be all about APIs and reusing data in other AWS products. You know, Analytics + SNS + SES would make up a nice a little marketing automation solution and I wouldn't mind building

Given that Kippt is basically discontinued, I'm looking for alternatives. Sadly, my 25 bucks for a Pro account didn't help 'em much. And that is frustrating. http://icebergs.com looks like a nice alternative, but

Agree totally. Physical servers are fully managed by DO and they absolutely must inform customers when they fail at their job.

Anyone found a way to make this a default view?

My point exactly. Google Apps TOS clearly grants them rights to mine the data.

Yeah, I know. It's not literally data, it's knowledge about me and ability to target me they sell. Processed data.

Thinking about it, sure, 5 bucks is outrageously much. Didn't give it enough thought, my bad. Anyway, my major concern is that somehow my data stored with 'enterprise-grade' paid service still gets mined and resold to 3rd-parties. I'm being

I pay by letting them dig through my email, calendar and GDocs and resell data advertisers. I have little doubt those impressions of ads hanging in front of my face in GMail all day long earn them 5 bucks a month. And they don't exactly ref

History has some examples of legacy brands being revived. Mini, Hush Puppies, Pabst Blue Ribbon are some of the known examples. Forever and never is a really long time. Being on the edge but akin to old school is actually valued in music su

The song is beautiful and gives a romantic fleur to the endeavor. Just watched the official music video though and that made it even more oddly appropriate. Talking about an old creep stalking young teenage girls. http://www.youtube.com/wa

I'm not too excited over perspective of getting a murse to carry a phone. Taller iPhone still complies with a requirement for a phone to fit in the jeans pockets safely. And that seems to be a more thoughtful reasoning behind product design

Oh, I'm sure this will run lynx with no problem at all! ;) It appears to me, though, nowadays most people prefer nice graphic interfaces, free-style layouts, visual and audio effects. The whole multimedia thing, you know. Also, this Android

I'd expect Amazon and Google to peer directly within US territory, one being a major byte-generator and another one being the largest byte-sucker. So this traffic must be almost as cheap as Amazon's own intra-territory exchange. Probably th

I actually don't see the point in the whole conceptual redesign of the application if that's the case. Scenario you're implying was just perfectly implemented in Skype as it was, on a Mac at least.
