It’s a no-win situation for Americans who are forced to pay $10,000,000,000 annually to fund an agency to spy on us and find “terrorists” or $160,000,000,000 annually for wars if they don’t find actual terrorists. Neither of those expenses

I’m not clever enough for Coffeescript. I wish the examples were written in such a way that if I showed it to coworkers half of them wouldn’t roll their eyes.

Typography is pretty awful on Android in general. Both Roboto and Droid Sans are nightmare Frankenfonts. Font rendering on Android is bulky, blocky, and fails to consider how humans read letterforms. So, even if a designer can convince the

Is it even feasible to attempt to block ash? They can block the port, but users can set up sah on any port. What level of monitoring would be necessary to detect a user's traffic was encrypted?

I'm surprised that the ad sevices aren't smarter. Wait until on wifi, cache a bunch of ads, share those ads amongst all the apps that use your service. Is this feasible?

I'm trying to think of someone I know who owns an iOS device, is literate enough to uninstall iTunes, but not literate enough to find the “mail” feature of their browser.

The information was interesting, but the representation was pretty bad. If you're going to have a chart with names, numbers and bars of different sizes, please make the bars proportional to the metric. I should see a chart and understand it
