Yeah, I was just wondering out loud because it's a source "of the times" from people building these sorts of addictive products knowingly. I just read the book and was surprised it wasn't used as proof that people are kn

The OS was hacked, big distinction there. Also, they would have to actively target your phone for surveillance. I'm much more concerned about the passive interception aspect, and I don't for a second believe that I'm preventi

Encrypt everything. I wouldn't trust the political process to work itself out in the near future, so a technical approach may be the answer in the meantime. I've moved all my friends to Signal not because we're having sensiti

Sorry if I gave you the impression that it was a solution! What I'm saying is that the technical cat is already out of the bag, we're already moving forward with stronger encryption and a multilayered internet. Adding restrictions

I was thinking about this in relation to the pirate radio history of the UK. Maybe people are apathetic because everyone knows no matter how "Nanny State" things get, smart people can skirt their draconian tendencies no matter wha

> it should be noted that libraries don't profit by rummaging through the books you read to advertise to you. They do present/display/advertise their most popular books. They track and fine you if you keep a book too long.

I'm not disagreeing, but this modal doesn't disappear until you've actually hit the close button. It will continue to attempt injection at any page which is not encrypted unless you acknowledge it.

Rebranding, when done correctly, can be a great way to regroup and focus on what's important about your business. You really need to stop looking at it as just a new design, and look at what philosophy it exudes. This constant visual r

Freshman year, at least one person would run out of each class crying during critique. First year is all about destroying everything you know about art and yourself so that you can be rebuilt, it's soul crushing but necessary to push p

Yeah, that's definitely a possibility, but I'd like to say it was my designer's intuition that quickly speaks up and says "Nah, that's a crappy approach, I don't know why yet but dig deeper and fix this nagging

I'm self taught, but my job is becoming more computer science focused every day. I have a lot to catch up on and study in the coming year to keep up to bridge what I already know from building applications to the computer science conce

If someone made a book/course on algorithms/math from an arts background, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I think your misunderstanding surrounds the amount of processing required to render HTML on the server, if you believe that rendering JSON is just as expensive, I'm open to the discussion but I don't agree. Usually these applicati

To be honest, I was really on the fence about making that comment because of exactly this. It's that raw "slimy but legal so it's ok" attitude that I'm trying to capture. It's unfortunate that a presidential ca

The customization element was nice, but I feel like most of these issues will be addressed by future developments. With everyone using close to the same API, we have to move backward a bit, but one browser implementing a feature like file a
