And now that "the web is the internet" even more than ever, developers and designers are giving us spinners/loading indicators ALL THE TIME. At least in my tabs they are. The web is much, much, much slower than it used to b

When FB first had tagging and there began to be problems with people not wanting pictures of their topless beer-bonging to show up on Grandma's wall, I thought a good approach would be that all pictures with multiple people should only

No doubt like canvas, font, audio, etc. fingerprinting, it will eventually be required to use Google apps like Maps and Messages for Web (to cite two recent discoveries). "If you're not paying, you're the product" has it

That isn't itemized. It'll tell them how much you use a credit card, and where, but that's it. No, what they do is buy point-of-sale data from stores, often through companies like Nielsen and larger. NOW they know what you&

Recommendation engines do. not. work. If they can't figure out what you might like based on the articles you read on the New York frickin Times, 25,000 more data points about you aren't going to help.

There's also different "shitty"'s. Some are only aesthetic/architecture features like bad CSS or a kooky object model or API or performance problems or something, but some have security vulnerabilities.

I know how you're trying to use it, I brought up the etymology. Your usage isn't new, I'm just adding rigor. Even "violative of; contrary to" categorically negates the validity of the actor's reasoning. Taking

The "B" was obviously a typo. :) It seems the simplest explanation is that he really does care about the company and the people as evidenced by his continual investment into his ventures at the risk of bankrupting himself several

Business models have been created upon flimsier foundations. Come on, capitalists: you've taught us for decades that if someone can make it work, it's above criticism. Are we now discovering moral constraints on profit?

What would be the infringement? I would say any animated GIF (or whatever) should be defined as fair use across the board, since it's impossible to use it for anything other than criticism or comment. It's not exactly like Beastie

There's a not-insignificant chance that an employee will die from Elon's choice here. Should he incur liability for it?

You're simply using the wrong (though popular) word. The "un" in unethical" means "without," not "different."[1] This is basic English (and Old High German, and Manx, and...). However, if your goal is

"Is wrong." OK, and just by force of personality Elon establishes that? Since when is Elon an epidemiologist? Sounds like about as much as he's a underwater rescue expert and ventilator manufacturer. Take a step back, he&#x27

Yes, yes, yes, yes, everybody. Right now on the NYT side there's a story about renewable resources being used more than coal. Great news, but is it more important than the government snarfing your browser history? A California congress

There's no such thing as "unethical." Everybody has values and reasons why they do stuff. Other than that I don't understand your first two sentences. You're right that Elon being a jackass doesn't mean he has

Where Tesla is really at a disadvantage is in not being able to go a few months without making cars. No other shut-down car company is complaining like Elon. Maybe it's a problem he has in running the only non-union auto manufacturer?
