This is not the case. Also there's no net neutrality legislation -- there's an order from the FCC that's been in place since 2015. And the law you are referring to isn't from the 1930s. It's the 1996 Telecom Act. He

Perhaps the city is telling you something. When I got a job that didn't require daily commuting, I quickly racked up parking tickets and decided it was cheaper and less stress to bike/take cabs/zipcar, etc. Now that Lyft&#x2F

That's still not "settled." That's one state court ruling. Other states could rule differently. A federal court in that district could rule differently. That said, if your threat model involves anyone technically sophist

It is not settled law in the U.S. whether being forced to handover a password is "contempt of court" or actually self-incrimination protected by the Fifth Amendment. Wiretaps ordered into the U.S. phone and internet networks via

I thought the same thing when I saw the title. And then I saw the byline: Cade Metz. And I read the story. Metz understands tech. Metz got this story right. So while you may be right that many AI articles are smoke-and-mirrors from journali

Thanks for checking that. I wish the mods would replace the link, since rewarding original reporting makes more of it, and rewarding aggregation makes more of that.

Why is this a link to an aggregation piece by TechCrunch, rather than the original reported story by Dallas Morning News? http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/northwest-dall...

This is yet another good argument for TextSecure and RedPhone, which don't depend on the SIM card encryption. https://whispersystems.org/

I just tried this out. I love the simplicity of the homescreen and the simple volume toggle is great. 2 things: 1. The coffee shop has the Joe Walsh song The Joker in the background. It's a ridiculously catchy song and I found it very

This is largely political saber rattling. AT&T's best arguments are going to be procedural. If FCC gets past arguments it didn't dot the i's, then this will go to the Supreme Court where AT&T and Verizon will get wall

They are. If they just deliver packets then they are clearly Title II. Last time the FCC did this (2004/5), the ISPs claimed that their homepages and email service and DNS made them not "telecommunications". Well, Gmail, Open

That's not true. The only carrier banned from blocking tethering is Verizon -- and that applies only to phones using the C Block spectrum. That's because when the FCC sold that spectrum it came with strong net neutrality rules att

Oh, no! Pointing out that a corporate power structure is overwhelming white and male is so unfair to those that are white and male. I used to be this author's editor and that lede is very Wired. Sad to see this "tone policing&quot

Sure, but once you've licensed the images under a certain CC license, you can't really go back. Yahoo will probably obey the user choice (as I think they should) but legally aren't under any obligation to do so.

Ryan Singel here from Contextly (my co-founder wrote the blog post). I think you are absolutely right on with the insight that stellar content is missed by readers for many reasons. We are part of a solution for publishers that want to have
