I really hate this, because this is what bloats and kills products. It's never complete, it always needs more features, until it implodes. It's the corpse model of product developm…

Ah so that's what we're calling the wreckless endangerment of pedestrians these days... innovation!

This is also the biggest fallacy in economic, and even political theory. The assumption of rational actors.

If you have reading comprehension problems, sure, that's what he said.

Intelligence agencies want as many possible vectors for attack as possible. Especially unknown ones that you are not prepared for them to exploit. Everyone is assuming they wouldn'…

Gotta keep the hype train rolling. All aboard!

The problem is we need _something_ like government to advocate for, and protect the safety and interests of the people. Something that has teeth. Because without it, we, and our la…

I'm disgusted that the words encryption and PHP were even used in the same sentence. I need to go shower.

In my university we often had group projects and at the end of the project you scored your team members. If the entire team scored one member highly or poorly, their grade could be…

That's why you can use vim in emacs. Since I've been using spacemacs, I don't miss vim anymore. Use the best editor together with the best operating system!

Are people forgetting the legal perspective? You can't charge your customer for an item they didn't buy. Trying to make the computer "dumb" doesn't change this. You're going to get…

Ultimately yeah, they can refuse you for any reason they want and they don't have to tell you why. You're not a citizen, you don't have a right to enter.

This is what I don't get. Would you carry a briefcase over the border filled with confidential documents, photos, love letters, and a porno magazine? Would you think that customs h…

Most of these are about deportation and immigration, where it's clear that non-citizens do not have a right to remain in Canada and are trying to use other sections of the charter …

The worst part is they aren't looking for anything related to security, they're primarily checking that you're not going to try to work in Canada.

Um, no. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifically grants rights to everyone and not just Canadian citizens. Except in a few cases like mobility rights where the righ…

I'm sorry but Uber has broken the law in how many different cities, and you have the gall to call Uber "ethical"? Um, no. Uber is not ethical. Uber willfully breaks laws they don't…

Hillary's campaign failed because it was so fucking forced . Come on guys, you have to vote for Hillary because she's a woman and its her turn and shame on you for thinking this wa…

Haskell programmers are hipsters now?

Let's not forget not properly shielding and some USB 3 devices killing WiFi with interference.

You're looking at the wrong numbers. What are the watt hours?

That's not how electricity works.

When have companies ever p published honest battery light estimates?
