It all started when terrorists were called "enemy fighters" and their human rights were removed. Nobody protested. At that moment, the government got permission from the people to ignore our most basic rules and just do whatever t

Its both cases of failing government oversight of these industries. Fukushima got worse and worse, because the company was basically doing and saying whatever they wanted (and seemingly still is) with the government just repeating it. Same

They have been doing it for many years. They forced him out years ago. And really, this type of power plays "no matter what the cost" is very common in developing countries and a major reason why countries do not develop.

Maybe it would make more sense to compare it to prices in Europe or other places with similar medical standards. My guess would be $100k in the US is about $50k in other places. At least my travel health insurence charges twice the rate if

The sharing economy is great. However, what seems to be broken is the legal system in the place you live.

I'd love to switch to ymail, if it didn't suck so bad. I just read, that Y! will be /reassigning/ email adresses that have not been used (no login) for a year.

Isn't it common knowledge that mosquitos don't like wind? They make it sound like some great discovery.

This is not about out of control police. This is the fight between rational people against irrational insanity. We started the fight for ratio hundreds of years ago, called it Enlightenment, and its not over yet.

I liked the point about offering an "undo" instead of "confirm action". The rest was just basics on sales pitch UI design. And that anoying footer that covers 1/3 of my netbook screen?

My guess is that the US has enough information about the illegal spying our EU governments do to us, that no elected politician here in Europe would risk to have that leaked.

Apart from damaging even more the already quite low international reputation of the US. And one day some country may use this as a precedent for a more damaging action. There are international rules for a reason, and it took us centuries to

> _claims_ by the US govt Last time the US gov't claimed some stuff that turned out to be a lie, more than 100.000 civilians died as a consequence. And there are still civilians dying every day, because of that claim.

In the EU, there was a law in the makeing around "the right to be forgotten". Looks like we really need it, probably for Google as well.

There are many such sites on the web where you can easily and for free create a web site with plain HTML, and many of them have been around for 10+ years and give you more than 10MB. What's the big deal here, appart from the name?

Yeah well, the hole in the Pentagon on 9/11 was too small for the airplace too, and the engines magically disappeared. Regardless, today's "truth" is the official version.

> Why should Mark Zuckerberg, et al., know things about you that the government shouldn't? 1. Because the user decided to give their own info to FB, but not to the gov. 2. The gov has many more powers than FB. If FB knows something

It always amazes me how we like to talk about Tiananmen, but never ever mention Tlatelolco ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlatelolco_massacre ). Maybe, because a week after the massacre, and only 2 km away, we happily inaugurated the Oly

Simply use five random dictionary words as a password and you are fine. The browser will store then the password easy login. Two-facor auth just adds to complexity, and that is a bad thing when it comes to secutiry. You want to be able to e

I see they have given up on following many of their own UX findings. I can hardly read the light-colored not-underlined links, but on mouseover, they light up, yikes. I never thought I'd say this, but I liked the old useit better.

Great that somewhat at Mozilla finally asks this obvious question. "Designing by committee" is a nice phrase to describe the problem. Having a BDFL would help.
