I use a mix of stylish themes to achieve something similar, and hide Slack's grating UI and default colors.

Payday loans are a major target for identity theft. This kind of fraud is insidious, it can screw up your credit for years. From the article: "Almost a third of online payday borrowers surveyed by Pew reported that their personal or f

It was. On the other hand I feel like I know exactly my skill level and limitations.

As an autodidact software developer, I've been lucky enough to avoid these self-doubts. I still experience them, but the difference is I don't wonder what my peers think: For the first few years I was teaching myself how to code,

Free with ads, or paid with less ads is not much of a value proposition. To the ad-hating, legitimate fans of the publication, there's probably minor difference. That's the group this plan is targeting.

You mean like an in-house metal server? Well because I need to adjust resources on the fly sometimes, or experiment with different configurations, or test upgrades on my own. That's why you use a virtual machine. If you're wonder

You can become conscious of them, and then you can choose how you act. The real question is, when does a person have free will? Ever? We consider people to be adults at some point. What that means is autonomous agents. I don't want

On the other hand, that technology and research is always going to be there. Let it loose in public and we can understand it, becoming naturally immune. Is the alternative a naive public shielded from manipulative media? How long before t

Call me a skeptic, but there's nothing philosophically "pure" about a locked down hardware platform where discrete components are all dependent on each other and NOT user serviceable.

7.5 hours daily, but some times 6 during the week and about 9 on the weekends. Ideally it would be whatever I felt like, for maximum cognitive and memory benefit. I hate being on someone's schedule.

That's true of older versions with security updates too.

by r0s 12y ago
You don't sound like a developer, more IT/ops side so let me try to put this in perspective. The existing security holes in their code are going to be given equal weight with these concerns. Now unless you know what their bugfix

I barely use it myself, but for friends and family who need tech support I always install it. It reduces so much risk.

You don't need to detect a machine, astroturfing now is mostly a manual process. Recognizing the same topics repeated is enough, even if it happens over time. The longer the time between posts, the less effective the campaign. The le

I know that feeling. Working at home seems ideal so it takes some real maturity to realize when it just isn't working. My employer goes out of their way to make my workspace comfortable and I greatly appreciate it. The commute still

It seems like any kind of mass-comment system would be easy to detect. Simply limiting the post rate and comparing to other posts would work just like current anti-span filters now.

Books record ideas, but the medium itself is usually bottom of the barrel commodity trash. Where does that paper come from? Who printed it and how is that business run? Are those companies worth saving despite a changing medium? That&#x2

Most 4k screens on the market have limited refresh rates compared to lower res. That's why it's news.

Asking private citizens to enforce the law in that way is a totally absurd and intellectually void hypothetical.

Either you believe police should have access (with warrants) to anyone's information or not. You can argue all day about warrant-less wiretaps, but that's a red herring. If the law should have power to discover data, denying them

What we see here is the death of broadcast communication. Print, Radio and Television are granted a monopoly of audience attention. (If you can pay the gatekeepers.) Now the loudest voices face a real crowd, people who will return the voll

Well you could argue they would have no real ability to financialize ads if they didn't do real work on those products.
