Kind of funny that they are the middle man for traffic on behalf of website distributors, and they are not helpful when it comes to serving malicious traffic, and tor is the bigges…

I can't remember a story like this without horrible data: numbers without much context from which no good conclusions can be drawn.

> Demographic/diversity shouldn't be a criteria for office location. Black cities are backwards and shitty and don't have CS grads, so no tech companies are HQed in black cities, b…

Haha. The market will fix racism? For one, there is a competitive advantage to racism sometimes, for two, based on history, it seems the market is not that efficient.

> it's not enough to just look within the 'hire' cohort. Enough for what? Why not? They specifically have a "score", not just a hire / no hire decision. Sure it would be better, bu…

How do you check that? I've found reporting on race in tech to just be absolutely horrible with numbers. Whole stories where the only number is "Google repots X percent of Y race."…

Your 48% is very wrong. From the abstract: "Our results showed that although casual contributors are rather common (48.98% of the whole population of contributors in the projects a…

I didn't say they were clueless. I said their pr is clueless. Some pr person said "there is no risk" relating to it security of a large organization. That is obviously false, and c…

"Our systems and our customers’ information were never at risk.", their pr team is clueless. Security is not binary.

So it's proprietary?

"we still don't know how." No one is stating the obvious: we would know more if we had the source code.

What does forgetting mean here? Is it like forgettable? Google failed me.

My 12 year old ipod has fm radio, I think a smartphone could do it.

Few months ago got an LG G4: the "unlocked international" version had a locked bootloader so you couldn't change the software, but the europe and t-mobile versions didn't. So, some…

Use a hosted service to self-host? Come on. Does it also have more cloud in it?

what is a CN computer?

It was, just formatted poorly into paragraphs. A paragraph is supposed to have some feet to stand on it's own.

> At least here in the US, money problems are (mostly) a money-management problem. I don't think so.

> The biggest problem I see is giving people cash. Why not instead give each adult a voucher for housing (just barely adequate for cheap housing) and each person $5/day food stamps…

Yes, it's a false dichotomy. Either we have a police state, or the terrorists win, take your choice! Don't forget the children, and the .0001 % chance of horribly brutally muderder…

This comment will never be a reply to any other comment. However, if I wrote it because the fbi told me to, why wouldn't I reply to absolutely any other comment the fbi told me to?…

It's beyond the capabilities of most iphone users to lock their phone with a passphrase that is secure enough to withstand a trillion guesses per second, remember it and deal with …
