They deserve to have their brands damaged. They didn't do their due diligence in encrypting data going through leased fibers -- they should have had the foresight to realize what a phenomenally bad thing this was. They didn't, hen

As someone who routinely makes fun of libertarians, let me assure you this is not what we (or I) make fun of libertarians for. Lots of progressive-oriented folks I know are at the forefront protesting these things. Hell, Richard Stallman --

Probably because there was just too much information to make sense of all at once. So they just let out little at a time of what they understood to be verifiably and properly true. Of course the cynical view that they held on to it to make

Oh boy. Kudos to you for gathering a lot of good stuff, an A for the effort absolutely. I should point out that you're off on /some/ things (or perhaps more accurately: incomplete). For beginners, the OS I use -- you're

With all due respect, I think that is just a strange conspiratorial type of thinking. Did he basically find himself to the top, being a writer for HBR by just being purposely controversial? Maybe it is a strategy, but it's clearly no

Also noteworthy is that it's getting increasingly harder to even have pseudonyms -- and not be outed. About a week ago, I really wanted to get in touch with a HN user (who did not have any contact information in his profile), so I set

Do you really think he is simply out to 'piss people off'? I'm genuinely interested in your answer. I personally don't think there are many people like that. I think the word 'troll' is overused, very, very few

People are rejecting Umair's piece, in part, by what he's said elsewhere informally and casually. Somehow people continue using FB, and defending it, despite Zuck having said fairly nefarious things. To be clear, my question wasn&

I think Umair is Pakistani, he's referring to racist tension he feels at some places. As an Asian, I can actually also attest to racism (though of a more subdued variety) against brown people in hipster'ish cafes. Incidentally, I

This is not creepy, this is an academic pursuit of rounding up information of one individual who is incidentally spearheading big change of privacy in a society. This is one of the things that happens to you when you become a public figure.

You bring up good points. But the reason I've always had an issue with ads is much different: the only people who can afford ads in the right places are the ones who are already big. In other words, it is extremely unfair. The people w

What's different this time around is that the pop stars' life details are part of their shtick more than ever before. Chris Brown is a 'bad boy', this is how he's packaged. What is of concern is that, this kind of b
