"Along with concerns about public safety..." This was the most amusing part of the article--to think that prison can actually make someone "safer" to their community such that rele…

Looks like no more Donald Trump speeches, then. One less platform for fascists is fine by me.

Anyone who imbues themselves with guilt over any of the issues mentioned in this article has completely missed the point. The goal of various NGOs is to influence government policy…

Protocols don't exist to serve investors.

No, they were successful because they deliberately flaunt existing regulations that would otherwise reduce their profit margin.

Based on this University of Chicago study, the article gives unhealthy advice: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/11/18/1514249112.abst... >Social isolation leads to fight-or-f…

What's wrong? Skin too thin? Maybe you should toughen up.

Right. In that case I'm sure you'll understand if I tell you to fuck right off.

I remember doing this assignment in 2003 with i386 executables.

And yet, the primary use-case for file system encryption is to protect data at rest, from someone with physical access to the disk. It seems odd to draw the line at physical securi…

Wow, so now I can read uninformed, ignorant opinions anywhere I go on the web? This is surely progress.

With salaries of over $100k available to programmers, I'd say the opportunity cost of a startup venture is pretty high. It takes years of determination and time for a startup to pa…

But what's the point of starting a business if it can't generate revenue? Getting to that point definitely takes capital; even if you've already built the product, the marketing an…

I think you're replying to the wrong comment? drzaiusapelord was the poster who suggested that partisan views would be a barrier to reform. In fact, I would go so far as to say tha…

So you mean to tell me that the pure pursuit of profit does not serve the needs of society?

This article was exactly on point. If you think this is off-base then you've been living in a reddit filter bubble; the dialogue there is skewed toward outright slander and misogyn…

Being "subverted" by a different community would be the best possible outcome for reddit. It's a proud soapbox for white supremacists and misogynists to virulently spread hatred un…

#1. That's true, but it would still be more of a barrier to creating secondary troll accounts than what reddit has now. #3. The idea is to tie the account a specific device (such a…
