Yeah, and for extra points using that same style of misleading headlines for his title. Would it really have been so bad to put a "nutritional" into the title to produce something …

Glory to great leader Gen. Prayuth, savior of the fish!

No, but IP requesting certain porn sites \approx user wants to see porn => account holder specifically requesting porn blocker be disabled. The equivalence can be expected to almos…

Pretty much sums it up. Instead of a simple form and some "I have an unusual address format" check box that gives a more free form field we have people abandoning all restrictions.…

An excellent example of a pointless data visualisation. I wanted to view a list of titles by date. What I get is a time series of top page visits shown as a faux heat map, with tit…

If you send mail to addresses outside of freenet I can't see why you would expect better anonymity than with any old throw away account.

tl;dr. Young ambitious person gets first chance at job she is trained for, feels pressure to work long hours without complaint. Because of too much work, now she can't use her arms…

Still, I'm surprised they bother with github being such a specialized website. Do you know of other surprising examples of sites getting takedown request because of "immoral behavi…

So is it your livejournal that is linked to in the "suicide.rst" post? What's up with the bans on suicide mentions? Is the topic growing because the public feels without hope as th…

Is this an opinion piece? I thought techcrunch was a news site, but this is so opinionated without any clear indication of being an editorial I'm not sure anymore. Maybe its one of…

Well, its only a small token of gratitude for all the things the NSA gave the EU.

The rule of thumb is that most languages are rarely used (since there are a finite number of users), so if you support only the most used languages you necessarily drop support for…

The wonky thing being that they would have to pay tax on that money if they take it to the US, but they've already made all that effort not to pay tax on the income in the country …

The state already needs to keep track of companies for tax purposes, so it seems strange that it couldn't simply void any trademark owned by a company that died. Then define point …
