The United States was founded with the principle that (from a legal sense) the primacy of power and responsibility belonged to individuals, not government. The lack of connectivity…

Convention of States, perhaps. https://cosaction-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/public/pocket_guide_...

I had a mantra I used to use, I would say with emphasis “And I would know this how?” But, communication depended on word of mouth trickle down, which was horrible, and I refused to…

I am against digital implants for a variety of reasons, including privacy, but… The only valid case that I could agree to would be my complete health record, ESPECIALLY when my hea…

Where I worked, the insurance companies that had payer agreements with the provider (clinic) had a contract that specifically called out which codes they would pay, and how much th…

I just bought my .net domain name from namecheap and setup protonmail. It's been a year but I'm still surprised that people think it's cool to have an email like jack@jack.net. It'…

I like to use a keyboard with no number pad, as long as the work doesn't require one. This shortens the reach for the mouse appreciably.

If you click the "web" link in the HN header, it will bring up a search page, and I clicked on the wsj.com link and got thru the paywall just fine.

Or, they have relinquished their ability to legal redress in court AS A CONDITION of doing business with them, agreeing to arbitration.

I think you have mostly learned all that you can, and you are wasting your time at that company, particulay as an intern. Depending on what you have planned afterwords, I'd probabl…

My rule of thumb is, if I see a coworker fired for no reason, I will give them no reason when I quit. I also budget things out so that I am not surprised to be escorted from the bu…

From a crippled guy who finds (American, at least) public transport unteniable - thanks!

I don't discuss my hobbies, politics, medical history, or where I go on vacation. I don't want to hear about others' at the workplace, and no one needs to know about mine.

I'd like to specify whether an app runs over my VPN on an app-by-app basis. Maps and Pandora, no, browser and email, yes.

My buddy and I have a pact: if one of us needs a piece in a hospital, the other will furnish one. Yes, seriously.

I would just like it if the option to vote a post or comment would appear at the bottom, after I've read it.

As an introvert and someone who cares about my privacy and doesn't like to reveal personal details, I find it easier to simply keep the conversational ball in the other person's co…

I used to be cultured, at home, at work, and in public. But, as I hit my late 20s (circa 1998),I became the opposite at work, and that approach has gotten me much farther ever sinc…

Driving is a choice... Unless you're crippled... Maybe you'd prefer I just vegetate at home (on whose dime?) instead of being employed. Remote work is a reasonable possibility to c…

I've been discussing basic cash solvency with my small circle of influence for years. My credibility went up with the folks when I had to wire thousands of dollars to them when the…

I've been using DDG for a couple years, not that too many people would know about it. Heh. Good enough for what I do, and having to go a few pages deep sometimes doesn't really bot…

Social media has made word-of-mouth a more powerful influence for both national, and local organizations. Useful now since the local papers have either shut down, lost their invest…

I found this to be useful. Still should check local laws (and for the truly prepared, research a local attorney in advance). http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm

And, not one comment here or in the story about associating book title viewing activity with a library account with personally identifiable information. They could have used book a…

Aggregated lists lead to discrimination, profiling, and tyranny. Or unwanted and unsolicited marketing... Funny how some people are all for gun owners (illegally) being maintained …
