Even ed has hardware requirements.

They did what most "lean startups" did. They made an MVP, and iterated from there. The only difference is that their target audience were gamers who hivemind way more than most oth…

The way I see it is that if Firefox's userbase dwindles because of this, either we get our Firefox with opt-out telemetry or... Firefox dies. And now we have a Chrome monopoly. I'm…

An interesting idea a roommate thought up: So 100 years ago, a guy kidnapping your daughter (just an example of anything that could only be resolved by you knowing where you daught…

If they're frustrated with Sublime with practical reasons (i.e. performance, plugins, extensibility), I don't think Code or Atom would satisfy them any better. You could make the a…

If you have a patent against Facebook, let's face it, that patent claim is going to be bigger than React ever can be. The cost of switching out a JS framework would be well worth t…

No designated desks, or no pre designated desks? If it's the former, then yeah, I'm bailing, that's tremendously dumb. If it's the latter, then whatever, it's hardly even a selling…

It takes me all of 10 seconds to type duckduckgo.com, and maybe 30 to switch default search engines for the browser. I don't think I could switch an ISP in 10 days, let alone secon…

Yeah, iirc, r/stormfront was immediately snatched up as a storm watching sub for similar reasons

Do details no longer matter? "A man was arrested for walking." and "A man was arrested for walking and aiming a rifle at a woman." are clearly different actions. A lawyer went to p…

Free speech necessarily does have limits, obviously, otherwise I could claim my ddosing your web server or my uploading of CP was simply me expressing my free speech. Does my free …

Gender is a semantic concept. Biology (and sex) is not. So no, there isn't a biological basis for this, because gender isn't biological.

Can they not simply self-host? But besides that, my understanding is that though the internet is free, the various entities on the internet are equally free to refuse service. Afte…

SC1 really doesn't make sense for this, 80% of the skill is just keeping on top of the mindless but mechanically intensive stuff, which is trivial beyond trivial for an AI. SC2's a…

If you stay mostly in the produce aisle of your supermarket, you're 90% of the way to being added sugar free. Which is admittedly different than completely sugar free, since that's…

Then I add another word or two and make that 44 bits 55 or 66 bits. The strategy itself still works, even if the particular details of implementation change.

As the saying goes, to boil a frog, you simply have to gradually turn up the heat. Of course you won't notice much when comparing this year to last, especially since the weather's …

If you go running into a burning building, you can't expect your allies to do the same. We might, but that's on our own volition, not out of any obligation.

Suggesting Facebook and Google and Amazon as serious replacements for Facebook and Google and Amazon really drives the point home.

But is there any advantage to e-voting? Assuming that we can achieve exactly equal security to paper voting for a moment, what have we achieved other than adding another few layers…

There are far far too many links in that massive chain to trust on obscurity as security.
