Maybe I haven't visited the right ones, but none of the 7-Eleven (or FamilyMart, Lawson, OKmart, or CU) stores I visited in South Korea, Taiwan, or Japan had selections that close …

Dollar General has a much larger selection than an Asian 7-Eleven. It has "real groceries" (albeit a small selection) and many non-food goods like detergent, toys, shampoo, even ce…

The average is weighted by GDP (another reason it is important to examine the rankings).

The quoted statement is highly deceptive. It is backed up with "Our average effective tax rate is 27.1% compared with 27.7% for the other 30 OECD countries, according to CRS", but …

Cruz and other Republicans have been raising concerns over this matter for over two years now [1]. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Sanders. [1] http://www.thedomains.com/2014/…

They only had a simple majority in the Senate.

Not quite, looking at the slides. It finishes up with two slides of "tough lessons" basically explaining why it failed as a phone OS, and then "what's next?" containing connected d…

The title is not accurate. Regardless of whether "people" (excluding me, it seems) think of Firefox OS as a phone OS, Mozilla has been using the name in TV usage for two years [1].…

The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications is a good complement.

One response to this piece (not by me, to be clear): http://marketurbanism.com/2015/12/26/a-response-to-interflui...

For instance, do you refer to a particular group of uninhabited islands as "Senkaku Islands, Japan", "Diaoyu Islands, People's Republic of China", or "Diaoyutai Islands, Republic o…

A quick look at their source suggests that they are using something called BLOX CMS, and their nameservers are run by TownNews, which is apparently the company behind BLOX. BLOX is…

Part 1) This is according merely to an FBI affidavit [1] applying for a search warrant, much less a charge or conviction. Roberts has claimed he was misrepresented, albeit understa…

> Again, libel is a crime in the US. There is no criminal defamation in the U.S. at a federal level, and only a minority of states have such an offense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

From the article: "The top 1 percent on average already pay roughly a third of their incomes to the federal government, according to a Treasury Department analysis that takes into …

Given the context, mtgx is most likely referring to Facebook-owned WhatsApp's (somewhat opaque) support for end-to-end encryption.

If my understanding of the term is correct, NPMaxwell's comparison to a helicopter drop is a poor one. However, not only is it an established term of art, but he/she provided a ref…

Maybe the DNS ANY or reverse DNS datasets on scans.io? (the former, I presume, ultimately covering more domain names but containing more extraneous information)

He didn't sound like a "nut", just ornery. I would be too.

I read the article too. sooheon, who suggested that he/she lives in Korea, made no such stipulation. Of note, distribution (and maybe possession -- I am not sure) of porn is illega…

"the downright Fascist porn restrictions (no I'm not bitter)" doesn't say anything about teenagers specifically.
