Why single out Uber, Google, Facebook and others appear to be neck deep in equally if not more shady activity. Infact most of SV is, Palantir come to mind and seem by media reports to be infinitely worse and a lot of this behavior has been

It's interesting you choose to frame overwhelming dissent and anger at shady behavior as a 'mob'. By summarily dismissing a bunch of legitimate concerns by multiple users you are basically saying users don't matter. That

The UBI debate is fundamental to how we perceive society and what kind of society we want to build into the future. If one's idea of human society is people working to earn money. Fullstop. And those who are better at it are the be all

It's not so clear cut. You need to benchmark before and after. Often acceleration modules on Broadcom, Qualcomm, Mediatek etc are proprietary and without acceleration in OpenWrt/Lede the router is going to be dog slow. The wifi mo

A slightly different perspective. For the end user Go apps are by far the easiest to setup and use. Usually it's just a single binary to download. That is a huge advantage that can't be beat. Other languages usually need a large n

That's why products are becoming progressively more expensive including things which traditionally became cheaper with generations. Why focus on the 'fluff' who have lower incomes and will have soon have even less, when you

Customers can only choose not demand, so this is simply a red herring to shift and diffuse blame and responsibility to consumers from the primary abuser who is actually doing this, and create an environment of helplessness. Tomorrow if cust

Open source is a huge achievement. The sheer diversity, wealth and value of the ecosystem is priceless. A true achievement of our times and Stallman and all the pioneers deserve a gigantic kudos. Any human group has all the problems that co

That's a classic slippery slope, isn't it? How would you know and how would you stop it. Are you able to stop the surveillance, the secret courts, harassment of activists and whistle blowers, the double speak and duplicitous justi

Isn't that more practiced indifference? There is no nervousness about it. It's hard to zero in on it but in this case there is an air of helplessness and despondency, with all that iconic imagery and hubris typical of totalitarian

Surreal and intriguing. There is a palpable sense of fear and unease on people's faces, not a smile to be seen. A gloomy insight into a whole other world. And questions assumptions about human behavior. Its frightening to think how eas

There is something inherently despotic about framing seeking basic accountability as questioning the legitimacy of government. Security has always been the first resort of tinpots and despots for self seeking behavior. Only those ignorant o

This is an interesting perspective based on real life experience. The author also has decades of experience around the tech scene in general. I don't understand why he is being put on trial for sharing his experiences in a book or seek

There is a now a growing awareness of the unhealthy level of obsession governments have about citizens communications. This is in effect the same as the Burr-Feinstein encryption bill, one penalizes users, the other service providers. The b

The unshare tool [1] can be used along with ip-tools to create a namespace with networking support. Add a chroot or pivot root to it and you have a Linux container. It's quite easy to do. We have a guide on using namespaces directly an
