One benefit is not having all of your online purchases tracked by your credit card company, which can produce further benefit for you down the road when insurance companies and who…

Instead of rules, look at what's being censored and tell us if you agree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Twitter http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/cens…

I was about to post this. My project received a DDOS, and I could not access my droplet for over 12 hours.

Here's my brief story. I'm a 30 year old white male in the USA. I have a bachelors in psychology, an incomplete graduate degree in psychology (60 out of 66 credits), no criminal re…

How does Craigslist handle reputation? And yet, I'm sure you'd rather use Craigslist for certain purchases than eBay.

Just to clarify, if you use Signal, there is no meta-data. Who you called, who called you, the call times, and so on are hidden. It's like with Tor and how your browsing history is…

Regarding #3, what about putting the phone into airplane mode and keeping WIFI on? Wouldn't airplane mode disable the baseband?

I forget the term for this, but you've poisoned the discussion by leading it to a dead end with an impossible goal: ridding humanity of prejudice and assumption. Since that isn't r…

This is very conspiratorial, but it'd be interesting if Facebook intentionally shut this down to show its new user base how vital it is to their lives. By giving new users a servic…

Would be awesome to see a mass exodus from Facebook. It's already passed its peak anyway, with many US teenagers using different, non-Facebook-owned networks and apps.

I access Hacker News via Tor Browser, and while I understand the need to protect against spam, I wish I didn't have to allow Google javascript. What are your thoughts on this? Is t…

I'm against Free Basics and am boycotting Facebook, but playing devils advocate... > They're called "public" libraries; not every library is free. I remember once trying to enter S…

Tor is being recommended as the primary browser for normal internet users. When should normal users not use Tor? Should it always be used with a VPN? Should normal users use a diff…

Agreed. I sometimes click, but for the most part, I usually shake my head and leave the site entirely in annoyance. I'm curious to know: why don't published books use click bait ti…

Thanks for writing this.

Wow. That's one of the most eye-opening articles I've read. I admit to having no idea how difficult it is, at least for some social media stars, to get by on e-fame. The take-aways…

Surowiecki did a horrible job of making a case for his conclusion. After reading that, I'm left wondering why his critics are wrong. Perhaps he should have avoided the click-bait t…

This will lead to a lot of carbs, some protein, and not enough fat. Consider looking into the Keto Diet. Lots of people are restricting carbs while being liberal with fat, successf…

You're right, and I expected some of this since I knew I was severing some connections.

For many of the connections I refer to, Facebook was my only way of contacting them. You're right, I could return. It still makes me think that this implicit claim that leaving Fac…
