20 years ago when the internet was just hitting its stride, it would be unthinkable for any individual or organization to systematically attack anyone on the internet for the content they created. The fact that so many have devolved into a

Preventing educational debt from discharge in bankruptcy is one of congress's greatest crimes. The fact that they exempted their own children from the law is just the icing on the cake.

Just another example of the utter amorality of the silicon valley mindset–which has been exported globally. Everybody cares about what they can achieve technically, while virtually no one cares whether they should or not.

Essential has nothing to do with it. Upgrading to a ten year old standard as a minimum is not burdensome. If these services are so critical, they have far bigger problems due to these gaping security holes.

That’s exactly how the Web was at first. I clearly remember downloading Mosaic in the summer of 1993, a few months after its release. I clicked around for a few minutes, but quickly ran out of content. So I went back to gopherspace, which w

Anyone have an alternate source? Force.com itself is a tracking domain that I block.

What do you need it for that it actually prevents? I've used this for close to a decade, and it has never broken anything. Sounds like FUD mate.

Because security and usability are inherently at odds, and Apple has always erred on the side of usability, until the security downsides are simply to great to ignore. This has been the pattern for every single security improvement in Mac O

One of the great things about using unbound is how easy it is to blacklist entire domains, without having to know the name of each subdomain ahead of time. I've been doing what pihole does for over ten years using pfSense. I'm up

It's time to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Either internet companies can exert editorial control like this, or they can be free of the consequences of the libel, criminal threats, and intellectual property crime

Because race is genetic and genetic variations lead to wildly disparate "outcomes." Your zip code is one of the weakest influences on your health and lifespan, relative to other scientifically proven factors.

This data is meaningless for analysis without exposing the racial breakdown. That South Dakota county is almost certainly nearly all American Indians. The big red patch in the south is very likely largely influenced by lower African America

The time is fast approaching when all of these internet data funnels will have to choose whether acting as editors and publishers is worth the cost of facing the liability for everything they publish. The only reason the internet has worked

Your comment assumes "drone" means anything like we have today. Any fighter designed in the last 40 years could be made substantially better by removing the pilot and everything necessary to keep him alive and in the fight.

Steve was once asked about Apple's commitment to Java by one of the engineers working on it. SJ called Java "a big, fat pig." It was on its way out of the OS within the year.

Looks like they ignored the national origin of the people tested. Norwegian IQs didn't drop. The average population of people living in Norway dropped. The first chart in this link shows why: https://www.ssb.no/en/

This article treats "CS graduates" as interchangeable cogs, where the only variables are race, parents' income, and where they grew up. The reality is that particular tech companies have very specific needs around the kind
