Didn't know Hillary Clinton herself was writing for Vox.

>if the energy is allowed to be released too quickly Wasn't this the problem? That the kernel was drawing too much voltage from the battery, or something like that I read.

Problem with Android is the amount of devices that will never get updates. How many devices are there in the wild that have yet to be patched against stagefright? I bet it's over 5…

I don't feel like typing much because it's nap time but IRCv3 is an almost closed group of friends, mostly znc core developers, who have decided they can choose what the future of …

I didn't say DMCAs. In my country for example I can't access The Pirate Bay. I just see a "webpage blocked" message. And that hasn't been used, yet, to silence opinions.

Most developed countries already have the infrastructure in place for fighting piracy, and I don't see it being used to "censor dissidents"

That's... casinos and porn? Where do I sign up for a degeneracy-free country?

There are boards and boards. And even in the worst boards there are good threads. It's a culture of its own, though.

You mean, remove opacity from the body... Such a great idea, though.

I don't speak English natively, and any corrections are welcome. On the other hand I don't run a multi-million business based on writing comments on Hacker News so currently hiring…

1TB is not a lot. I download around 300GB a month on my 10/1 ADSL line, and I don't even watch HD video or stuff like that--it's mostly torrenting of software/movies. I'd probably …

Because rolling out a fibre network is very very very expensive. People who think they are entitled to certain speeds, data caps, or prices, don't understand this. That's why Googl…

They mess with the chronological order of my timeline and I'm grabbing a hatchet.

Yes exactly. It's embarrasing. Those tweets are just removed from your timeline and there's no way you can make them return. For someone like me who follows just a few people and i…

I'm going to expand on this. There are two distinct annoying features. 1. The one you're talking about, messes up the chronological order of the timeline completely. That one is ca…

1,555 employees, for example, why that and not 1,500

What the hell is with those numbers? Is it a joke I don't get?

There's no way to disable that feature.

Twitter chose this long list of liberal-leaning associations to "police" the community. I don't think it's a conspiracy-like accusation to say their moderation leans to the left. h…
