I guess it's possible to have an app which lets you click or enter a number and it populates the clipboard with the password. I like the idea of two factor input; enter/select a pa…

"I see the media fully supporting Clinton while bashing Trump. That's left wing bias in my mind" Anyone who thinks Clinton is left wing is just totally out of touch with reality.

Well, your argument was that trump was a right wing phenomenon caused by "left wing media shaping" but there IS no left wing media in the US as far as I can tell. The right wing/el…

From reading that, the only criticism that seems sane and fair is that they should have chosen a different string to "trending"; "recommended" perhaps, or "curated". My expectation…

I'm not confusing the concepts. And I'm not stopping you from saying what you want. I don't see the point though. There's no content there. "This company is legally allowed to deny…

No-one's saying you can't discuss it. But where's the discussion? I just don't see how you one can say "company A has no right to decide what appears on company A's servers" withou…

If by "extremist content" you mean religious fanatics beheading people, or calling people to arms, or giving tips on producing bombs or whatever, then you are entitled to treat thi…

They need broad rules because whatever rule you come up with, some clown is going to try and get around it. Or just post something obviously against the spirit of the rules then ar…

If it's that company's site then I don't see who else has any business getting involved. Do you want someone telling you what (legal) content you can or can't show? Why?

Yes but it's not possible whilst everything is done to make short term profits for a small number of people at the very top 1% of society.

So I stick this on an old laptop and connect it to a spare Ethernet port on my router?

"For example, the error rates for image recognition, speech recognition and natural language processing have collapsed to close to human rates, at least on some measurements." I've…

You mean this: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-fa160cdc-8a2... ?

That's great. Now if I could just read www.theonion.com on Firefox for Android without it crashing every time, that would be sweet.

Pretty much any post 1980's Jazz. You can start off comparing Miles Davis's Amandla with anything he was doing in the '60s or '70s (Live Evil, On the Corner, Cellar Door Sessions e…

It's a bit like Jazz (and to a lessor extent most other forms of music) from before the 1980's, where they started that horrific over-production which made it sound plasticy and ho…

Are you talking to the person who wrote about helping soldiers, or is that not political, and it's just commenting on helping soldiers which is out of line? Because that seems a li…

You don't need to spend more than most of the rest of the planet on the military to defend an area of land that's a tiny proportion of the world's surface. Are you sure you've been…

It's hard to justify a statement like "it's clearly theft" given the amount of time and money and legal resource that was used in the Google/Oracle case about the use of an API.

That'll be because the world is getting hotter. In some places in the Northern Hemisphere it's increasing at the same rate as if you moved south 30 metres every single day. The cur…

Sounds really inefficient (and that's ignoring the eye strain, headaches, sweaty headbands and nausea). I'll use vim and you can wave your arms around like Cumberbatch-era Sherlock…

I'll wait (we all will - there's no alternative) but I'm confident that the future isn't every/most employees sitting at their desk wearing stupid glasses/headgear and getting head…

And Obama criticizes Israel sometimes by stating that the murder of thousands of civilians or the expansion of illegal settlements are "unneccesary" or "not helpful to peace" too, …
