Another "free" Google service that blinds lay people from objectively considering the cost vs. benefits of online privacy/anonymity (since "free" tends to make us act irrationally). Instead, consider paying the equi

Glad to hear you folks are still around and only pivoting to something (hopefully) sustainable. I've always been a curious follower of Priceonomics for two reasons. One: the sheer research/depth of your posts that hit HN frequentl

If that's the only way you can validate claims and counterclaims made by others, please go ahead. Less resourceful people, like me, prefer a more common-sense approach of searching & reading multiple authors & articles to arriv

As a practice, I turn off all location services on my phone and only briefly turn it on when I need to use Maps. May seem paranoid, but don't find myself suffering too much by this change.

By itself, that fact conveys nothing. You could've said, "Every time the "NSA is spying on everyone" comes up, it seems to be Glenn Greenwald talking about it". When it comes to Big Food (or Big Pharma, Big Insuranc

I've been running CM since the Nexus One. I don't think it supports per-app system privileges. Unless it is hidden somewhere deep within (though I could swear I've recursively been through their entire settings tree). May I a

Ah. I don't use Facebook, and I haven't installed Twitter's Android app. So I never faced these issues.

$400M for 500M lines of code. That's roughly $800/KLoC. I wonder how that compares to any other modern software.

The old article just had a few lines about this allegation, via an interview Greenwald gave to Brazilian media. This Spiegel article, co-written by Laura Poitras, treads a lot of newer and deeper stuff: > The National Security Agency (NS
