If you're downloading copyrighted movies, it seems to be a slightly silly idea to supply anyone with a list. And your payment information.

I like small details when reading stories. Even if unimportant, it's fine to put it there.

By the way, this is exactly why the NSA will not catch many terrorists. You can always hide data and you can always hide communication (which is just data written and read by two different endpoints).

I own many old Vinyl records and often they come with the lyrics for all the songs on them. That's enough for me. I don't need funny annotations. So, while Rap Genius is a cool website, I wouldn't say that all the other lyric

And their users are giving them their data for free, in exchange for being able to get a daily does of "Like"-events, so that we can feel validated I guess?

Impressive what one company can do to you if they decide you're not playing by their rules. (Not defending RG, I just think this is a good example of how much power Google has..)

Two friends died when I was a student. A guy from the company I was working at died on the Air France flight from Brazil. They were all very young. It's entirely possible this happens to other people I know, or to me. FWIW, I think it&

I'm not sure it's really what Sivers means, but I agree with what you wrote. I even think that if (after learning how to read and write) children only studied history and maths, they'd be better educated (and even better peop

This reminds me of: If you are paying 20k for a car whats 500 extra for the CD-changer? What about the heated rear view mirrors? These things add up. Just saying be careful with that thinking in general. :)

That's cool, but I think if you want to study film, you should study the likes of Akira Kurosawa, Sergio Leone or Krzysztof Kieslowski [1] first. A lot of what Hollywood is doing has been first done by these guys. Especially computer g

I was in SE-Asia and went to a few temples to meditate. One time I reached that deep state very quickly. I suppose it had to do with the sound of falling water nearby.. If you ever go to a Buddhist country I suggest you visit a course. It&#

Wrong. They would like the future of mobile apps to be web. Therefore they are lobbying for all these web-technologies. Good for us, the web has gotten better. But I think it also makes it more unlikely that the, some say broken, web-stack
