My wife says that you can do everything with your thumb on an iPhone 6. You double tap the home button and that brings the screen down so you can reach everything. Will that work f…

Currently reading Mein Kampf. Going to start some others too, like I bought Glenn Greenwald, No Place to Hide but haven't started it.

I'd also like a clear refutation of that book. I've only read two Rand books: Anthem and Capitalism. I loved Anthem in spite of its anti-government bullshit because of my libertari…

Which is why it wouldn't happen. Interns and entry level grads are doing testing; they hire PhDs specifically for doing the kind of research they were doing at university. But the …

I think it executes it as a script, though. Like, it uses a compiler but isn't itself a compiler.

I'd like to see school quality and rent prices broken out by demographics as well, particularly race and ethnicity.

This is why rent should be based on income, not market value. Edit: if you disagree with me you should downvote me. Lol, fucking traitors are hilarious.

That's a terrible analogy. We're talking about the difference between a small community and digital information technology in the era of ubiquitous networks. For one, the level of …

I'm totally fine with your exciting-as-fuck politics but it will be difficult to get people to that point any time soon, me thinks. I think the problem is that when you say things …

Intelligent corporate policy. Oh how I wish such a marriage of pragmatism and respect for privacy were the norm.

Wow, your comment is grayed out like it was downvoted but you've only asked MS to liberate an OS, which is something that should be supported. True hacker spirit there.

I don't understand. How did you lose your flagging privileges?

Thank you so much for releasing this as free-as-in-freedom software! Since this appears to be server software, I'd like to recommend switching to the Affero GPL; its only additiona…

Even if this isn't as nefarious as the title suggests, it's still an excellent reason to drop dropbox. Have you tried owncloud? That's what I use and it's perfect for escaping stuf…

You're right that that's what traitors say about sharing but that's not a real world solution for serious people. Perhaps you aren't aware of this but copyright holding monopolies …

It's pretty embarrassing for them that their response is incredulousness. Facebook is largely regarded as a necessary evil by many people, especially technical folks, and yet these…

Noam Chomsky had the best response to "big data": it's basically a nonsense concept (which I agree with) because "thinking is hard."

Corporate pricing shenanigans and barriers to market performance are some of the least important factors in what costs money and ails society. How much freer of a market do you wan…

It just doesn't make sense to test every bad idea and lament that fact as some kind of opposition to scientific curiosity and inquiry.

Except in those cases we would hope they implement the feature in question and in this case we can only hope he has the good sense to leave it off.

Actually it's not great since a disproportionate part of the outcome of legal proceedings is luck, just like all of life.

You've really just illuminated what the MAFIAA doesn't want us to understand: that it is empirically false to state that people aren't supporting the arts. But let's not use their …

Don't use propaganda terms like 'compensation' here. It's not compensation unless you hired someone to do something. The reason the media corporations want you to use terms that do…

Ah this old misdirection. There is no shortage of evidence of voluntary payments for creative works so stop spreading bullshit. How far do you move the goalposts when people mentio…

I don't want to go researching some random app, what does this do and what does it mean that it has bitcoin removed?
