IRC, like social networks, is slways tough to rank due to lack of structured data. I don't believe Usenet suffered this proform. Re: Facebook I agree it has hurt, nay scourged, the Web—that's undeniable—but that has also created r

Depends on the length of your password, really, and how and where you enter it. All it takes is a keystroke logger to get your master password, and this can be done even with copy/paste.

If you're on Android it's possible to completely block the GPS daemon from phoning home, usually to 1e100.net based on my observation. To do this you can install an app called NetGuard from F-Droid and enable service blocking. Thi

It's not just healthcare, and it's not just the US. Dig deeper, look at the ex-Nazi bank called B.I.S. See how much Tether they printed in 2009.

Yes, but that's just enough obfuscation for them to deny any claim they do charge. But from the free content I was able to see on this WSJ article (not a subscriber) they considered charging businesses in addition to users. Perhaps in

Here's some advice. Don't feign passion. If you could give to shits about the product wait for a better opportunity. Next. Your coworkers are competition. Treat them as such. Next. Ask for at least 20% more than you'd settle

It may be more complex than that. If both of you were tied into the Social Graph it's possible software on your devices simply knew the two of you were in proximity and for how long. This could be done via Bluetooth by an app like What

I'm looking forward to the day I don't have to charge a non-profit doing good in this world $99 a year just to keep their app on the app store. Apple devices should have the equivalent of F-Droid for FLOSS goodies, and that's
