So only if you help them associate all of your internet traffic with a registration. Hm, sounds privacy-conscious.

I was worried it might be an empirical result :) thanks for responding, though, and I'd love to see the post when it's finished

Without curly braces it is simpler to mess up if you revisit the code, maybe especially adding ambiguous else conditions. I'm sure you and the GP would never forget to add curly braces when inserting an else, but the junior developer w

That is really interesting. If it's not too much trouble to write out, could you explain what causes the latency difference between kernel wake-up and other thread wake-up?

I am having an incredibly difficult time understanding why int-or-string cards are desirable also. You'd end up with multiple functions like heartsGameCardValue and euchreGameCardValue but with int cards you need to write the same thin

Right? But the GP was asserting minimum wage is a willful transaction also. Actually if the laborers don't like their minimum wage, they cannot opt out of it either, they need to eat, pay for housing, and get medical insurance from som

I once read an interesting article on how OkCupid was doing question weighting wrong because people would mark matching on factual questions (like, "What is the largest of these? A. Elephant B. Whale C. The Moon") as being absolut

This is the first time I have seen it. I like it, I see it as an antonym to whatever we call those "top ten weird science facts" posts. It signals that here is an author who is trying to take me seriously.

Just what we need, some more Objectivism. If the free market ensured that all people were given a wage that adequately reflected their value, the bottom 40% of earners would be getting more than 10% of the income. Bill Gates paid 30 cents o

I just wanted to write that I like the iOS platform and devices when jailbroken, but I am also sick of their walled garden bullshit. So, cheers for standing up for your principles over your convenience, it takes a strong person to do so.

For many people the restrictions protect them from installing malware, and is a huge benefit. For the majority of us reading, I think we know enough to not install weird applications and the restrictions are incredibly burdensome.

I wish we'd collectively only buy things where the root exploit was like ticking an "I want root" checkbox. If buyers collectivized their buying power we wouldn't need to worry about "down the line" companies w

Could you go as far as messing with the carrier bundles? I had a problem a while ago where Safari would reinstall the carrier's default bookmarks every time it reopened. To be fair it was irritating, not critical, but I was able to hac

Excellent point! This is my old iPod Touch 4th Gen, I have since gotten an Android phone.

It sure did make me feel better about myself. Did telling that person he was using his phone wrong make you feel better about yourself? There wasn't even a problem. "I like f.lux." "Or you could not stare at your phone.&

Yes those were the two choices, jailbreak or not stare at the phone before sleep. Very perceptive, aroch.

My top three: Freedom to copy your data out of an app into your computer even if the app doesn't "allow" it. E.g., get into Notes.app's sqlite database after they decide to delete all the data when you unlink your accoun

I'm with you on not trusting US companies, fine. But you somehow expected tptacek to inspect and criticize Telegram with such scrutiny that he finds all of the problems pro bono ? That's ridiculous.

If you don't think "hire people that know what they are doing with crypto" is better advice than "have a contest that doesn't even prove security under known plaintext attacks and pay out $100k to someone who finds

Yes, well done. My one-acre homestead is indeed exactly the same as a sovereign state, it in fact changes nothing when the scale is millions of times that large. Also access to private property and state immigration are in fact the exact sa

This was the proper response. "Career" has become the formal version of "job" anyway. I would be wholly unsurprised if A/B testing showed that applicants for "career" are more experienced on average.

It's a science discussion subreddit. I think "your statements must be within a standard deviation of reality as measured" is not an unreasonable requirement for posting to a scientific discussion. It actually is quite nice to

I have no problem from banning people that refuse to accept reality from any educational or political forum. If they banned people for talking about Intelligent Design or alchemy (outside a historical context) I would say that's a feat

Isn't it more likely to be in graffiti than via Morse coded gnome hops? I hope the NSA is getting photos of all that graffiti it sounds dangerous.
