Atleast on reddit someone reading the comments on there (usually the top) will be able to figureout that the story is fake.

Everytime something important happens I notice reddit is a better source of getting an aggregate of information than twitter or (sometimes) news outlets. Relevant reddit thread for this incident. https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2

So I am confused, how does any of this increase attacker cost? Cant you do the same thing at the OS level already? Wouldn't making the dir read only do the same thing? If your data gets stolen and your website defaced what's the u

I really hope Tesla would do a demo on the roads of India. If a car can self drive there I would have no trouble purchasing one. Indian drivers are some of the most resourceful drivers I have seen on my visits there, yes its complete chaos,

Can someone explain what happened to google. I mean, it was once a company so many of us looked up to and now little by little its becoming the "evil" in their own mantra "don't be evil".

I think the point is not "having something to hide". I think the point is more like how much information we are letting corporations and governments have about us. For instance, something that really gets on my nerves is when I se

I think this is something that should be present everywhere. Especially when serving customers from countries with unreasonable data caps enforced by ISPs. I have seen some times load up 5-6 MB files when a 100-200kb image would have done t

While I am not a trump supporter OP's comment really makes sense. And the funniest thing here is people should be celebrating this win becuase the way I see it, this is a win for democracy. The DNC took away the win from someone who th

I think the big deal here is, a political one, more than a technical one. While google is the reason we have go and google basically pays for go, people are afraid that go might lose its simplicity in order to cater to google's wishes.

This is just asking people to spam their users. If someone lives in a truly democratic nation then they have the right to choose not vote, yes it surely would be nice to have everyone make a valid vote. Sometimes you just do not want to vot

Good god that sounds like a nightmare. Its already a pain to use touch-pads on some laptop models where if you rest your wrist on it it will detect it wrong. And to make matters even worse imagine installing drivers for an os not supported

You can actually have privacy badger black all of this if you play around with the settings. I mean I think its too much to ask for a tool to be able to block everything right without a little human assistance.

What's with CNN attacking 4chan so much these days? Funny how a media channel that used to do actual reporting has gone down to this level. I bet 4chan and its users are really happy with the free publicity.
