I can think of perhaps no better example than this interview of why I like Peterson. He's criticized as "on the right" because he disagrees with feminism, neoliberalism, and marxism (it's more cultural marxism, which he

This reminds me a lot of another article posted here recently: http://www.sicpers.info/2017/12/computings-fundamental-princ... . This behavior makes sense for most people, those who don't know what they'r

The way I read these actions weren't "running to the right" rather "fleeing from the biased leftist media." For one, Rubin is left leaning, so is Peterson, though because they're generally fair, they get consis

But does it though? I don't recall this being a common occurrence before NN. In reality this sounds more like FUD. It's literally a hypothetical. "Internet providers will be able to do X!" Okay, so who can already choose

It's interesting seeing tons of "journalists" who aren't well known, of public interest, or in any way prominent being given this status. Specifically if you're a new journalist straight out of school for certain pu

Antiviruses do this, so do lots of other bits of software like those you mentioned. Either they actually do basically rootkit the machine and break functionality, which is a huge "fuck you" to everyone and may actually require peo

I'm not sure I buy that it means there are more absolute viewable colors there, but rather there are merely different interpretations of the same colors. We do have fairly strong confirmation that our brain doesn't interpret color

This doesn't surprise me. Having spent years working on a very complex web app that's built to run primarily on Chrome (-2 versions), our API/DOM usage coverage was so great that we would often joke that our unit and integrat

Report summary: we spent over $350 B in the last 10 years on disaster recovery, we expect that to continue to be very expensive in the future. They expect the cost by 2055 to be consistently $35 B / yr, though it appears this is mostly

> Ajit Pai is stoked about this. This seems like an unfair claim. Since you didn't provide a citation, I looked for one. I found plenty of articles insisting that Ajit Pai and through association that Trump are both out to harm priv

I think this is a good thing but I'm curious why the same reasoning isn't used towards preventing ads and trackers. They're both unwanted unless the user expresses an interest and as a bonus they also degrade performance or c

Given Equifax is locking access to whether you're a victim behind an agreement that forfeits civil rights to act on that information, this looks like a textbook unconscionable contract.

That seems like a tad bit of an overreaction on Salesforce's part. The only mismatch here was the expectation set around the availability of the tool's source? So yeah, it was clear the tool is owned by Salesforce and ultimately s

The title seems a little clickbaity. It seems all that's being said is the FCC is recommending a reasonable minimum, not a maximum. I don't think it makes sense to run gig fiber connections to rural homes unless someone is footing

That comes across as unfair by definition, but practically there are no such ways to do what you've claimed. It's unfair in the sense that this progressive or far left ideal is allowed to be pushed onto entire organizations and by

I'm in favor of directly funding creators. I hate everything about ads. That said, I don't see any real value Patreon provides over other payment services, especially given their cost. I definitely don't want politically driv

If this follows the trend of what happened to YouTube advertising (TV 2.0) in that certain websites will be targeted for demonetization without any transparency or consistency, this will open a giant hole for competitors to eat one of Alpha

I think the problem is less that there are companies who want to sell you "faster internet to specific websites" and more that there can't be any companies who want to sell you "fast internet to all websites." And t

Given how common it is for members of Congress to become mega millionaires over a few decades on a job that pays ~$200k/yr, I wouldn't trust them in this capacity. How many of us would hold steady in our own ethics and morals if s

I don't know where you're getting those figures from, but they're off by more than a factor of 2 based on information I have from friends in Google and previous disclosures here on HN by Googlers. Google won't pay most n

The thing is, you should. It's regrettable that today in this "enlightened" age with such astonishing technology we refuse the agency of certain groups of people for the convenience of political narratives. This article blows

They typically don't qualify as criminal threats in those cases. The FBI does investigate quite a few of these and I've seen more than a few from FOIAs that don't result in arrests because they fall short of being criminal. I

Seconded on all counts. We also ended up independently implementing a really simplistic and in many ways broken version of React for these reasons and many others.

So it's better when the media is inaccurate or incorrect? They so frequently use half-truths, lies by omission, complete removal of context, and in many cases report on things without substantiating evidence or credible sources, that i
