I don’t think anyone is saying Firefox is inherently bad. What I’m reading, and what I believe, is Google just has a better product for secure enterprise browsing because of the controls they offer The browser is where basically all your wo

+1 to Carrot. I’m a huge fan. The annual subscription is pricey but I travel a lot and it’s consistently one of the most accurate apps I’ve used and I tried a bunch! They even have an “I miss Dark Sky” setting that makes the UI a clone of D

Notably missing from the article is a comparison of CLEAR’s failure rates and severity against the TSA’s. Admittedly, CLEAR doesn’t handle as many travelers as TSA so the data would need to be extrapolated but based on what I’ve read over t

The first sentence of your comment is unnecessary to make your point and I’m curious why you chose to post it.

One reason not covered here is a lot of companies still contractually require their software services vendors to follow old, outdated password rules that reflect Burr’s old password requirements. This includes password complexity rules and

While they can’t force a Prosecutor to prosecute, the ruling does bolster the lawsuits from those impacted like families and partners. I’m curious what your definition of “anywhere” is

I deleted my FB and IG accounts about a year ago and have no regrets. I find myself spending less time on my phone and not reaching for it every time I have a free moment. If I need to find the contact info for someone, I use LinkedIn. What

Your statement is not accurate and also misleading. There’s a number of factors that landed Sri Lanka where it is today for example over investing in domestic production for internal consumption vs. investing in a healthy export economy, de

This post hit close to home. About 15 years ago, Ubuntu got decent enough to replace Windows on my parents PC. They needed to access websites and receive and send email, something Linux could definitely provide. No more worrying about malwa

Not sure if this helps with filtering out subreddits but I highly recommend teddit.net. Just switched after the mobile experience became essentially unusable without the app.

You’re arguing against monitoring equipment in the cockpit in an article that’s about people arguing against monitoring equipment in the cockpit. Thanks for making me laugh today. I appreciate you.

As a libertarian, he accepts that Facebook has every right to do this. Right?

I’ve said this in a couple of comments but reiterating here, we’re talking about a new event that caused a failure of systems. There are no government systems or subsidies to help working parents who suddenly have no public or private schoo

I disagree that my thinking falls apart. Maybe my message is not coming across clearly so I’ll try and restart it: We are not talking about a benefit that is systemic and a typical part of our workforce. We are talking about a reaction by c

Thanks for creating the thought experiment. Let’s keep using that as an example. This is not a case where companies decided to create a benefit arbitrarily or to make employment at the company more attractive to workers. This was the world

Yeah sure, all for rewarding employees who end up doing more work as a result but we need to separate the two issues. The parent flexibility was introduced almost overnight as a way to respond to systemic changes to childcare and schooling.

One way to solve this is to extend these types of benefits as a way for any employee to help care for children. If you’re an aunt or uncle and want to take time off to help care for your nieces and nephews, you should be able to. That being

Can you clarify your point? I read the article but don’t see any mention of trying this on any of the streets you listed. It looks like the city of SF made a good call here and the first part of your comment supports that.

I disagree. Even if the vehicle has a built in system for tracking, the tracking should always be opt in and with consent of the owner. If not, at some point, all cars will have this capability built in to it and drivers who don’t want it w

There’s a larger concern (at least for me) not being discussed here. There is conflicting information from Honda: the customer support rep stated (allegedly) that Honda did have the location of the car while the spokesperson later denied th

That actual trip somebody’s taking on the scooter — that’s pretty green,” said Juan Matute, the deputy director of the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies who was not involved with the study. “What’s not green is everything you don’t

I really hate articles like this. Eight deaths out of how many rides? How does that compare to driving, biking, walking? There’s a lot of anger and resistance aimed at e-scooters. Maybe it’s valid but this article doesn’t make the case.

I usually like Motherboard but this is sensationalist anti-Google BS. >>Google may be simply trying to stay in line with export legislation—it’s not totally clear if providing these devices to people in these countries would violate a
