>Criticizing legitimate American counter-terrorism and counter espionage and suggesting that it's equivalent to China's suppression of thought of its citizens This is infuriating. …

I know I'm not in the majority on this site, but I personally hate web apps. I hate how they look, I hate hearing about how they will replace native. Personally, I'd like to see na…

But doesn't there need to be a way to bet that something is overpriced?

I always heard it as "if your boss asks you to do something you don't like you can just say 'fuck you' because you don't need the job".

I don't know if "designed by committee" is fair. Plus, a big problem with committee design has been people trying to avoid costing themselves anymore than absolutely necessary no m…

Startups have been resistant to this so far by following pg's advice of simply ignoring patents until you're big enough to matter. If things keep going as they are though the ecosy…

It seems that no matter how many famous people have their accounts hacked by security questions, idiots will keep using them. Personally I always select a random question from the …

Yes it is. He's committed no crime against the US at all so why do they want him? They can't charge him for anything so it's pretty clear he won't be getting a fair trial or any at…

Actually, unlike your post his blog post did provide something valuable: it informs others in his/her situation that they don't have to just take this. People accepting these kinds…

The massive difference between the Internet and space (at least in my current opinion) is that the internet represents instant communication and it didn't take long to figure out h…

Nonsense. It has nothing what so ever to do with science. All the analysis depends on rules that all the other players also know. If someone went in and changed some fundamental en…

You're being overly sensitive. He didn't say something bad about your mother, he pointed out what was wrong with a thing , a product and IMO he was mostly right.
