There is an element of truth in what you call hyperbole. Gordon Brown (in the treasury) produced a report to see how UK could integrate with the EU. The output was basically that t…

People might not always agree with you dude and that is okay. Overuse of the wink smiley is patronising.

Perhaps but that does not invalidate what he said.

I do not think it is a problem that some people are not willing to charge something that you want to charge for. That is, for you to be profitable, you rely on someone else not doi…

The answer is to make your adverts fast, lightweight and battery efficient. This is competition at its finest - those with the fastest and most compact adverts do not get blocked. …

Nope but I can see how you can read it that way. The important part is after the 'but'. More that I am paying for the same services but doing the right thing costs me far more in e…

I am a UK taxpayer too but my building has no recycling. I live at home for one or two days a week and no personal transport. Why should I suffer all the costs of recycling?

I hate adverts. My problem with adverts is that they are not information, they are selective truths or downright lies. I cannot trust adverts.

Bitcoin is technically interesting and awesome. My problem with Bitcoin and why it does not completely solve the problem described in the article - it is a social problem. Like lan…

I completely agree with this article. I would like to share a story of my own journey in this. For a long time I had wanted to lose some weight and to remove some bad habits. It da…

You cannot defend frontrunning of a market. If I ask for X at Y. Someone else shouldn't have the facility to buy it based on my own trade signal and try sell it back to me. It is m…

This is an interesting hack: a host script can communicate with scripts in an iframe via the postMessage API and relying on the fact that a script running in the frame can make sam…

Aww. This is unfortunate - I frequently visit Freecode.

> I find the general "Main Street" sentiment toward the profession to be misguided. > I won't say HFT is the most valuable thing that its practitioners can be doing. I think the (t…

This makes me think of TempleOS. TempleOS [1] 'shell' operates as a programming environment - what you write is compiled and inserted into the same process that the OS is running a…

These submissions make me feel like I am on LifeHacker.

I have a question regarding the type and amount of conflict between different organisations. I ask this because the kinds of issues in this article seem like common courtesy and re…

It would seem that applying a law in spirit is incompatible with human nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_and_spirit_of_the_law

For the EU requirement to check if information is in the public interest, we have to have guards against the system being abused, such as wealthy people removing information about …

Good question. While the right to forget is socially beneficial for society, there are technical problems that make it inconvenient. There is the problem of whether it is censorshi…

This is a strawman argument. It's blatantly obvious that a historically significant event such as a dictator needs to be kept as part of the history books because of the impact it …

Why is it no longer relevant? I don't think that is true.

I find it deeply concerning that a Klout score would be used for anything. Klout is not a measure of value.

That is a contrived example. In your example, the information would be kept, the fact the property was foreclosed would probably be stored in a cabinet or computer system in an off…

Does this mean we should accept and ignore character smears, witness protection, cyberbullying and libel? Is it okay for someone to surrender the arbitrary association of content t…
