I had written a toy social network a few years back the past which had these features - It worked very much like an encrypted version of usenet. This is probably my bias as an engineer showing, but the technology doesn't seem like the

This is wonderful. Not sure if the submitter is the one who made this, but thank you for making it and/or submitting it. These sort of code-as-art projects always make my day brighter :)

You're talking about people. Regardless of if they are annoying you, you shouldn't try to treat this like a pest-control situation. I urge you to re-think your position, with the understanding that they are real in the same way yo

That's an amusing example. You are aware that Google scrapes almost every page on the internet, without having any agreement with most of them, right? Yes, you can add noindex and robots.txt to tell them you'd like to opt-out, but

This was my favorite game of 2019, and if it had mandatory telemetry like that I would not have played it. If it were opt-in, it could be used well however, similar to what the Telltale games had done. 65% of people made choice A. 35% of pe

A) We should stop putting devices that are in the home onto the internet. If you want to have a security camera, keep it limited to the local network only. B) People need to stop having a default assumption that these are secure. Mentally a

It isn't trivial for most people to buy a 55" computer monitor.

What a silly attitude. It is almost certainly /possible/, but most people in a position to do so haven't thought it was worth the amount of effort involved.

Discounting someone's complaint because "This isn't new" isn't helpful. It doesn't need to be new to be a problem - Writing an article about it to raise awareness is a good idea. Calling this tinfoilism is also

It doesn't solve the immediate problem, but once enough people are using chips you could disable the ability to do old-style magstrip transactions (or at least flag them for manual review / extra scrutiny).

Because I don't want anything to try to reflow the text, or adjust the kerning, or modify to use system fonts. There are great systems for those already. When I want a PDF, it's because I want a format that I know is always going

That's exactly what I like about it. My ideal PDF is essentially a PNG file with selectable/searchable text. It's a great WORM format. Every added feature makes it worse.

I agree that buying "dumb" TVs is preferable, but they're often hard to find if you're looking for high-end features. To quickly include the comments which often come up in similar threads - There are some TVs you can fi

Supposedly it's being designed around Valve's index controller, letting you grip and manipulate objects in the game. Ars describes a set of Magnet Gloves which can pull stuff toward you from across the room and adjust/use it.

I know iOS requires permission granted in an app when it tries to use the microphone, and I presume Android does similarly. I would imagine to do such tracking, you'd need to have an app open which already had those permissions for som

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd be in favor of such a system. I think if the US were importing large quantities of drugs, they would be forced to move to that system. But if you think that there is the political will to do so, I think th

I understand that's their current policy. If the US began importing high quantities of drugs from Canada, what prevents Pharma companies from insisting that Canada pay current US prices? If Canada declines, the companies could stop sel

I'm all for solutions that lower drug prices in the US. Wouldn't mass-importation from Canada encourage drug companies to raise Canada's pricing to match US levels? That seems like something Canada wouldn't be particular
