Which one would you rather debug, as an end-user or support technician? The options set by Microsoft, or the options set by an opaque tool from some third party? There will be a lot more community support for fixing those issues caused by M

Yep, you're right. From the about section: "A weekly dose of breaking-smart ideas for individuals and organizations based on ongoing research. In tweetstorm form."

Same here, though I find that it still helps a lot with procrastination. Separating the process of discovering content and actually consuming it means I'll only lose 10 minutes instead of getting sucked in for an hour because I'm

Works well for me on Linux Chrome 46.0.2490.86 (Official Build) (64-bit). Strangely though I've been having trouble with amazon.com locking up the tab. I've got a dedicated graphics card in this thing though, with a heap of ram, s

thanks very much for the explanation. That sounds like interesting work and a great solution

Interesting point. Any reason that 17W is too high for you? I'm thinking about cost but that is maybe $15 a year. Are there other considerations?

This is very interesting. Could you give a little more details on how you accomplish this? How do you serialize unstructured Mongo data into MS SQL? Does this system break down when front-end people change the data structures in Mongo? I&#x

What's different, however, is the level of coordinated surveillance that enables this scheme, as well as the centralized power of coercion that the state yields. Ad-tech companies, financials, silicon valley data silos, surveillance bo

I'm not sure how you can watch the parent's youtube link and still compare the two. They are in different leagues altogether, in my opinion, so I'm finding it hard to relate to your comment. I think it's also pretty hard

I'm not sure what distinction you're making between Dart and languages that "compile in the browser". You linked to Jeremy Ashkenas' list of languages which compile to Javascript, yet that list includes Java, Python

Oh, my god. I've read about this before but that link really drove the point home. What a dystopia we're headed for if this works out well for China, and there is every reason to believe that it could. Thanks for sharing that

I've taken to logging out of facebook on all of my devices. When I really want to check something then I log in, check the thing, and then log out immediately. Oh and I don't know what my password is, it's saved in my passwor

What is the context for this, and who wrote it? Interesting read.

The author's point, though, is to remove yourself from the institutions and support networks that have shaped you as a person your entire life. The military is the exact opposite of that. The military is the one institution in society

That's a really interesting historical perspective, thanks for bringing it up. That concept of safe spaces seems wholly constructive and positive. However I think the concept has been coopted by an illiberal leftist movement on college

I like the idea of search metasploit and I'll be making use of it, but the models mentioned in the article aren't in metasploit's database yet either. So while it is a good step, it is not very conclusive.

Everyone reacts differently to different substances, etc etc, but perhaps what you're describing is a little different from chronic, every-day smoking? Smoking pot occasionally can make anything more fun, but over time it seems like it

There's a lot to like about IT, but I found plenty to be frustrated about as well. I spent four years with an IT consultancy piecing together 40 hours working for clients who didn't need a full time IT department. Not having enoug

I have heard quite a bit about that and I've no doubt it's the case. There's just no priority for Apple to support their older hardware, although I think it got somewhat better between 8.0 and 8.2. If you're inclined to

Was anyone else surprised to learn that the US tested a nuclear explosion (Argus III) at a distance comparable to somewhere between the International Space Station and the Hubble Telescope?

Any chance you have either the 64GB iPhone 6 or the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus? Apple initially manufactured those using TLC NAND flash but stopped because it caused stability issues. I've had a lot of problems with mine although the iOS upda
