It's interesting, I have been saying a much less intelligible version of this from observing my children. They have been exposed to services without advertising, and as soon as the…

This is a wonderful piece and I am glad that I came across it. The line that really hit home for me is the description attached to the photos with his girls. I have two young girls…

This was exactly what I was thinking, too. Systems could be set up to monitor the trajectory of objects moving around a structure and then alerting and closing bridges or tunnels.

It is shocking and that does not sound like an inappropriate response.

That was my exact thought. Thankfully, I woke up to messages that my family members were safe and sound. I hope they find everyone but at this point it seems unlikely.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I appreciate the banner color update as well.

Interesting, I watched a video about this topic a while back[0]. I don't remember it exploring the larger impacts related to government and such but instead digs into how exactly a…

As other comments have said, this is not illegal. Matt Levine explains better than I could here [1]. 1 - https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-29/reddit...

Seems fitting that Cloudflare spoke so aggressively against Verizon[0][1] last week and then this incident happens to them. I will be interested to read the postmortem on this situ…

I agree in theory but what else can be made better about podcasts? Is it worth the trade off for everyone's data? These are questions I believe were asked and answered with NPR One…

The notion is valid but users clearly don't want to be tracked. NPR One lost and they still continue to push it and will likely convert Pocket Casts. I find the news discouraging a…

I think you are exactly right. NPR pushed NPR One in order to track users. It failed miserably. So now the plan is to join with other big networks and buy a successful podcast app …

Pocket Casts never tracked anything. Why is it now okay to start tracking me? Does NPR do something better than anything other large organization?

I was just saying this the other day. I have been a steep learning curve about retirement accounts, mortgages, etc. There should really be a financial curriculum in high school, po…

I remember 'discovering' Python in my old Programming Languages class and it is still as fascinating now as it was then. Congrats to Guido.

I agree that not owning a car would be better than owning. But simply saying "you should move to a better place" is not only a privileged statement but also a callous one. You assu…

Yes, as other people have said containers does this magically. I even have Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp sign-ins in their own container. Everything is separate and I honestly f…

Location: Maryland Remote: Willing to relocate: Technologies: Java & Spring Boot web app project, MEAN stack for another, both at work. Python for other experiments and learning. R…

ST2 was the first text editor that really caught my eye. They have also been great with allowing users to permanently "trial" the software. I moved to ST3 beta as soon as it came o…

Yeah, it is likely the smartest decision for him. I have watched him play his whole career (Ravens fan). He is good but he would have likely bounced around the league as a backup a…

100% agree with this in general and specifically. People tend to get too hung up on issues that are over. Zed has moved on and so should everyone else.
