I can think of perhaps no better example than this interview of why I like Peterson. He's criticized as "on the right" because he disagrees with feminism, neoliberalism, and marxis…

This reminds me a lot of another article posted here recently: http://www.sicpers.info/2017/12/computings-fundamental-princ... . This behavior makes sense for most people, those wh…

The way I read these actions weren't "running to the right" rather "fleeing from the biased leftist media." For one, Rubin is left leaning, so is Peterson, though because they're g…

But does it though? I don't recall this being a common occurrence before NN. In reality this sounds more like FUD. It's literally a hypothetical. "Internet providers will be able t…

It's interesting seeing tons of "journalists" who aren't well known, of public interest, or in any way prominent being given this status. Specifically if you're a new journalist st…

Antiviruses do this, so do lots of other bits of software like those you mentioned. Either they actually do basically rootkit the machine and break functionality, which is a huge "…

I'm not sure I buy that it means there are more absolute viewable colors there, but rather there are merely different interpretations of the same colors. We do have fairly strong c…

This doesn't surprise me. Having spent years working on a very complex web app that's built to run primarily on Chrome (-2 versions), our API/DOM usage coverage was so great that w…

Report summary: we spent over $350 B in the last 10 years on disaster recovery, we expect that to continue to be very expensive in the future. They expect the cost by 2055 to be co…

> Ajit Pai is stoked about this. This seems like an unfair claim. Since you didn't provide a citation, I looked for one. I found plenty of articles insisting that Ajit Pai and thro…

I think this is a good thing but I'm curious why the same reasoning isn't used towards preventing ads and trackers. They're both unwanted unless the user expresses an interest and …

Given Equifax is locking access to whether you're a victim behind an agreement that forfeits civil rights to act on that information, this looks like a textbook unconscionable cont…

That seems like a tad bit of an overreaction on Salesforce's part. The only mismatch here was the expectation set around the availability of the tool's source? So yeah, it was clea…

The title seems a little clickbaity. It seems all that's being said is the FCC is recommending a reasonable minimum, not a maximum. I don't think it makes sense to run gig fiber co…

That comes across as unfair by definition, but practically there are no such ways to do what you've claimed. It's unfair in the sense that this progressive or far left ideal is all…

I'm in favor of directly funding creators. I hate everything about ads. That said, I don't see any real value Patreon provides over other payment services, especially given their c…

I wonder if it being completely open source would have an impact on that.

If this follows the trend of what happened to YouTube advertising (TV 2.0) in that certain websites will be targeted for demonetization without any transparency or consistency, thi…

I think the problem is less that there are companies who want to sell you "faster internet to specific websites" and more that there can't be any companies who want to sell you "fa…

Given how common it is for members of Congress to become mega millionaires over a few decades on a job that pays ~$200k/yr, I wouldn't trust them in this capacity. How many of us w…

I don't know where you're getting those figures from, but they're off by more than a factor of 2 based on information I have from friends in Google and previous disclosures here on…

This is false. She directed her followers to attack him, not the other way around.

The thing is, you should. It's regrettable that today in this "enlightened" age with such astonishing technology we refuse the agency of certain groups of people for the convenienc…

It's basically a generally passable VOIP client with a Slack built in, which AFAIK no other VOIP service has really done well (including Skype). The barrier to entry being low, it …

They typically don't qualify as criminal threats in those cases. The FBI does investigate quite a few of these and I've seen more than a few from FOIAs that don't result in arrests…
