Let's start with your mistaken premise. You don't actually have privacy, and you won't be getting it back. Just by analyzing how you worded your public post, which post you responded to, and the time you posted it, entities

I disagree, RMS. For the same reason you've argued that open source is better than closed source, so is transparency better than privacy. What democracy needs isn't privacy. Privacy has always been a false value. Privacy is dis

This treatment is horrific. Solitary confinement is well known to cause severe depression and suicidal ideation.

Your degree is all about making sure you transform a bunch of effort into a scalar value on a bank's hard drive somewhere which represents your company net revenue. Put another way, your degree teaches you how to better execute an ext

Let's say you want to copy and paste something from an earlier command line entry and put it in a new command line entry: % set -o vi % # hit ESC to go into vi cmd mode, hit k a few times until % # you get to this old command i

Woo. I wonder if this news could spark a wee run on the banks?

Ya, it's pretty amazing as far as how quickly it gets you from downtown to Santa Monica, and I experienced the same thing. It's already in heavy use. One complaint, tho, is that the cars don't have decent accommodations for

Woz nailed it. Also, nevermind the bands for a moment. I had a digital Timex watch in the 1980s that was more responsive than the iWatch. Form eclipses function now. That wasn't a thing that happened in his day. Back then, when you

The best approach is to apprentice with someone who knows not to make them. If you can't do that, check in with someone regularly who: 1. Won't sugar coat feedback, 2. Has shipped games, 3. Has a healthy sense of humility

I'm pretty sure fusion power will have another damaging waste footprint no one is talking about, heat pollution. What do you do with it all? It's like skipping the greenhouse gas that traps the heat and going straight for the he

Dozens of times on 3.4.3, but I've been playing it for decades. Not once on 3.6. It's way harder.

Took a brief look. Seems like a cool idea, but it smells like early days. The example listed on github (population count of 1s in a 64bit register) I thought was a little underwhelming. It took a poorly optimized loop, for some reason cam

Summary: Capitalism corrupted software engineering, because you get rewarded for getting to market quickly and selling maintenance contracts, not for making quality software, free of defects and security vulnerabilities.

It's cheaper and easier to get food, clothes, and care to people over a fleet of self-driving, shared cars than it is over a hodge-podge network of human-driven, privately-owned cars.

I was one of the developers on the original Doom and got so sick from playing it that it motivated me to debug my code faster. The phases were no problemo, sweating, farting, nausea, then that was it: gotta lie down and hug the cold, firm

I already know exactly what's going to represent a "security consideration in order to safeguard transportation security." When you opt-out, they make you wait a long time standing next to the X-ray machine for someone to g

Thanks for fighting the good fight, Jon. I've been opting out for years, and if there's anything people like us can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask! They clearly don't like it when you opt out. Things I have e

Agreed. With self-driven cars, you can imagine scenarios like hand-offs, where you ferry multiple passengers at a discounted rate over a common leg of a trip, and then they transfer to separate cars to go the last leg of their journey to t

Maybe, if the robots can self-replicate and/or self-repair and have that creative spark, but that's asking a whole lot of tech that we haven't sorted out yet. Life has the replication shit already worked out, so if the goal i

Humans were evolved to survive in a razor-thin sliver of Earth's atmosphere and nowhere else. We aren't designed for and don't belong in deep space. We should genetically engineer smart creatures that can fare better out the

I haven't found any evidence refuting Cowspiracy's claims, unfortunately, which has cornered me into eating vegan for going on two weeks now. If healthy vegan food were subsidized as it should be, most of the issues with limited f

Thanks for your article suggesting a better way to reject peeps. It made a good point, and I'm confident your hiring and rejecting career will be a colourful one, but we're going to stick with being human and not over-analyzing o

There should be a law that requires motorists to salute bicyclists as they blow through stop signs. They're heroes for braving the dangerous roads every day and saving the planet from more choking carbon emissions.

In my experience, this is horseshit. You should make your deck as simple as possible but no simpler. Really, you want it customized to whom you're pitching. If your audience wants to know a lot more about your financials, then one sl

I'm always amused by these "here's how to protect data better" articles, because today's security is tomorrow's joke, and that's how we got here with the OPM hack. The only way to get ahead of it is to mak

This is why privacy is a flawed concept and not something we should cherish as much as we seem to. It's an eggshell defense. It creates the illusion of security, but once breached, it can make things much worse than before you had it

Yes. The trick is to pretend that they aren't and to let them feel clever about figuring out for themselves how the adult market will improve success. For instance, Cisco's fortunes were built in large part on porn, which dominat
