Many big companies being headquartered in SF are left-leaning. I don't think they should let their political opinions trickle to business, but they do. It's a shame. It should be neutral and non-political, supportive of all view p

I buy groceries at my local Walmart neighborhood market and they recently replaced the self checkout kiosks with NCR systems that video your face while checking out. Seems to me that I need to use a spare bag to cover the camera, or wait in

As someone who spent some time in the mobile industry the telecom operators are the greatest barrier to overcome in these situations. They're quite inflexible. When I was involved in a phone project we were provided a firmware blob for

Cash is legal tender and should be required to be accepted at all businesses. Electronic payments have overhead, too, so I don't accept that as an argument. Electronic payments are a privacy concern for me. It's a big data collect

Many mobile devices (especially those connected to a MVNO) are on one big giant subnet with "L2" style connectivity to each other. This is how Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek were able to remotely compromise vehicles with a vulne

Personally I consider this to be all phones: the baseband firmware is a blob that does who knows what, and is likely the weakest component of nearly every phone on the market. Most baseband processors are connected via DMA. Prior discussion

It is really good when you search for vague terms, but it seems to come at the cost of ruining precision technical search. Google also censors some results in controversial categories, where Bing/Yahoo return what I am looking for. I d

It's extremely insulting and this is why I think Slack is hostile towards its users.

That's a stretch. I enjoy creature comforts. Hot high flow showers, A/C, a muscle car. My life is better with these features. It's not practical to advocate abstaining from these things.

I run authoritative DNS for a very busy domain - 30B queries per month. Originally we had 6 hour TTLs, but now I use 60s. We have had no problems. Uptime and fast failover comes before anything else.
