And so I will continue to avoid C++ because I'm not a master and will not avoid the many pitfals, and I want to get things done, not become a master of C++.

The answer to both questions is yes. The talent pool and cost of developer talent is significantly impacted by a company's reputation, including it's activities in the free/open source arena. Also, your question include a fal

Agree. Would love to hear from someone who uses this while working at their computer, and someone who uses it for viewing media on the tv.

There is nothing more costly about providing open internet than closed internet. If you only look at certain domains, those domains will subsidize the price. It's pushing two things unnecarily into one. It's like, if you can pay f

Meh, your both wrong. When appropriate, doctors do ask about diet, they do recommend changes to diet, it does make a difference, and being healthy is not necessarily simple.

The first link describes it as "D news aggregator, newsgroup client, web newsreader and IRC bot." I don't see anything about mailing list. And at first, I thought the D part meant that was customized to be just for the D proj

Agree, except that the underpinning is about about the freedom to improve and share, which generally means there's a freely available version on the internet, but by no means means you can't or shouldn't buy electronic or pap

Great. The thing I like is that you get maximum flexibility, and good web interface. For example: I run a mail server which handles mail for some subdomains, and the root domain mail I route through them. Every time I give an email out to a

I highly doubt it. And I doubt they will patch it.

But it's impossible. If I'm logging your keystrokes, game over. Unless you add some firmware to do dsa encryption in your brain, and become very fast at typing cyphertext.

Proper HTTPS is secure at MITM attacks. HTTPS can be MITMed if the certs or local systems have been breached. But the MITM is just a byproduct of a different failure. Absolutely any secure communication protocol has to be honored by both pa

> still have a 1/2 chance of winning by switching It seems that you are referring to the other variant, in which case this is false, because that one has a 2/3 chance of winning by switching.

Hi, I see you'd like to start a quest into the dark heart of our corporate bureaucracy to join the other .0001% of customers who aren't having their privacy violated. We respect you. We love you (feel free to share that via social

Not at all obvious to the investors who value these companies at tens and hundreds of billions of dollars. They don't expect them to dissapear in 5-10 years

Your reply was in reference to the future, so it's logical for a reader to assume that's what you were talking about. > If specialized apps start to show up, people may start ditching FB altogether.

Yes, I will blame them. You make no compelling case otherwise. This is how the internet works. If you run a server with security vunls that are well known and patches available: it gets owned. It's your fault. Same type of situation he

This. Seriously: a company makes a product which has the ability to be broken by hackers using a method (ddos), which is widely known and extensively used for over 20 years. And the product is closed source so no one can fix it. So... hacke

First off, that's not what he said. Secondly, lots of smart people have been talking about the need for basic income when robots take over large portions of the labor force. I'm personally unconvinced that it will create mass unem
