I’m a big fan of Mozilla, and I’m really glad to see them focusing on Firefox instead of troubled projects like FirefoxOS. While they are not immune from poor decisions I really believe they try to do the right thing in the end. That’s more

Louis Rossmann will disagree with you on that one. I won’t quote him but he has a ton of content on Youtube, you can hear his opinion for yourself.

Backpage had a staff of ~70 people who screened adult advertisements and regularly reported suspicious activity to the police. With escort advertising now being so fragmented it just makes the job of investigators harder. I think this bill

I have found myself asking the same question. While I don’t have an answer I can share my plan. I am studying the social impact of the printing press. I don’t think you can go wrong studying history.

I am glad you found the upside but for those who do not have the life associated with children don’t forget you were happy at the time prior.

I suspect the most interesting side effect of Amazon’s move to buy Whole foods is the potential impact to transportation. Quote from the Washington Post[0]: “while Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s are far from mom-and-pops, a number of those stores

Supply will be lower than what’s currently available. Prices could go up. If so, lower income households may not survive.

I live a quiet life and want my browser to be quiet too. I don’t fully understand the API changes behind this decision but from what I have read this is a huge win. The real problem is the unethical use of APIs to increase advertisement rel

I generally support efforts to reduce human error, but the author goes too far by calling for format strings to be abolished. Localization is hard, which is why these functions exist. There is ctime() but it includes a trailing \n which isn
