Spotify has steadily gotten worse over the years. I remember a long time ago they had a cool feature where you could long press on a song to preview it. There was also a decently organized library tab, not as advanced as itunes but passable

The point is that all these bogeymen distract from the actual issue, because they make government surveillance sound like something that only happens in other places... We need to wake up and realize it's happening right here at home a

We gotta stop with the China bogeyman every time a privacy issue comes up. This is a feature designed by an American company for American government surveillance purposes. China is perfectly capable of doing the same surveillance or worse o

I'm sure it varies by region but there's already a form of degree specialization in high school - you can choose between focusing on liberal arts vs. science/engineering, and the liberal arts kids basically don't do any

The self-esteem movement many of us millennials grew up with feels like it has largely the same motivations as all the corporate-sponsored mindfulness initiatives that are in vogue now. It's a way to shift responsibility for dealing w

On top of the other responses, I don't think the two sources use comparable data to begin with. The first source says that there were ~2m acres burned in both of 1991 and 1992, whereas the latter peaks at 100 k/ha, which converts

I can think of many major security breaches related to poor or leaked passwords and honestly none come to mind with faked biometrics. Not to say that there aren't any, but passwords have a terrible security history and everyone should
