So only if you help them associate all of your internet traffic with a registration. Hm, sounds privacy-conscious.

thank you very much I love this stuff

I was worried it might be an empirical result :) thanks for responding, though, and I'd love to see the post when it's finished

Without curly braces it is simpler to mess up if you revisit the code, maybe especially adding ambiguous else conditions. I'm sure you and the GP would never forget to add curly br…

That is really interesting. If it's not too much trouble to write out, could you explain what causes the latency difference between kernel wake-up and other thread wake-up?

I am having an incredibly difficult time understanding why int-or-string cards are desirable also. You'd end up with multiple functions like heartsGameCardValue and euchreGameCardV…

Right? But the GP was asserting minimum wage is a willful transaction also. Actually if the laborers don't like their minimum wage, they cannot opt out of it either, they need to e…

I once read an interesting article on how OkCupid was doing question weighting wrong because people would mark matching on factual questions (like, "What is the largest of these? A…

This is the first time I have seen it. I like it, I see it as an antonym to whatever we call those "top ten weird science facts" posts. It signals that here is an author who is try…

Just what we need, some more Objectivism. If the free market ensured that all people were given a wage that adequately reflected their value, the bottom 40% of earners would be get…

I just wanted to write that I like the iOS platform and devices when jailbroken, but I am also sick of their walled garden bullshit. So, cheers for standing up for your principles …

For many people the restrictions protect them from installing malware, and is a huge benefit. For the majority of us reading, I think we know enough to not install weird applicatio…

I wish we'd collectively only buy things where the root exploit was like ticking an "I want root" checkbox. If buyers collectivized their buying power we wouldn't need to worry abo…

Could you go as far as messing with the carrier bundles? I had a problem a while ago where Safari would reinstall the carrier's default bookmarks every time it reopened. To be fair…

Excellent point! This is my old iPod Touch 4th Gen, I have since gotten an Android phone.

It sure did make me feel better about myself. Did telling that person he was using his phone wrong make you feel better about yourself? There wasn't even a problem. "I like f.lux."…

And sex education filtering.

Yes those were the two choices, jailbreak or not stare at the phone before sleep. Very perceptive, aroch.

My top three: Freedom to copy your data out of an app into your computer even if the app doesn't "allow" it. E.g., get into Notes.app's sqlite database after they decide to delete …

I'm with you on not trusting US companies, fine. But you somehow expected tptacek to inspect and criticize Telegram with such scrutiny that he finds all of the problems pro bono ? …

If you don't think "hire people that know what they are doing with crypto" is better advice than "have a contest that doesn't even prove security under known plaintext attacks and …

> precisely because they show how willing they are to improve their service. Multiple people that know what they are doing have remarked that the system Telegram has created is a b…

Yes, well done. My one-acre homestead is indeed exactly the same as a sovereign state, it in fact changes nothing when the scale is millions of times that large. Also access to pri…

This was the proper response. "Career" has become the formal version of "job" anyway. I would be wholly unsurprised if A/B testing showed that applicants for "career" are more expe…

> When I started with Java, it seemed appropriate to put hundreds of getter / setter methods. Is there much advantage to that over allowing the variable to be accessed directly? Oh…
