This is long overdue. Chelsea will probably be doing interviews soon, and since [she's already been pretty outspoken about internet freedoms][1], she may even bring some much needed attention to issues like net neutrality, government s

The parent comment is cherrypicking tweets from WikiLeaks. Take a look at [their actual feed][1]. They have since [discounted several conspiracy theories against Macron][2] and [brought into question the legitimacy of some of the files][3].

If they withheld the information that they received in the interest of neutrality, would that be better?

There seem to be a lot of people theorizing that it could be something about the paper itself that they're looking for, i.e. flash paper, paper circuits or physical one-time encryption pads, but what if it's not about the paper at

I'm seeing a lot of comments about how terrible different people's standup meetings are at their particular companies, and I can't help but think the problem isn't with standup itself, it's with these companies. At

I didn't necessarily mean the US exclusively. I was thinking more of the internet in general, but I'll provide some specific examples anyway: in the US, I believe [the efforts of our government to undermine net neutrality][1] pose

Just to be clear, I don't agree with N-O-D-E's political leanings, and I think the examples he used in this video were very poorly chosen, but I still think he has a strong point regarding censorship in general and the slippery

I don't think rejecting a technology entirely is the best way to avoid abuse. I get that some of these devices are a little silly, i.e. WiFi-connected toasters, but a lot of IoT devices have great potential for making the world a bette

This is awesome. I've been wanting something like a "brew browse" command for a long time to see what popular tools I should consider trying out. I'm probably going to spend the rest of the night googling everything I do

This seems way too good to be true. Seeing as the timeline on their mission page puts the first manned flight at some time in 2019 and their technology page states that the vehicle is built primarily with aluminum and carbon fiber, I'm

Because dryers are expensive appliances. If they're going to make one that only lasts one tenth as long, it better cost one tenth of the price too.

This looks like it will have the same problem as early bluetooth headsets: you look crazy using them. As well as they can get it to work and as popular as it becomes among early adopters, it will never really catch on with the general publi

The repel could be dangerous too. There are plenty of features that websites are legally or ethically obligated to provide, but they would rather users not use them. I'm imagining email newsletters with really hard to click unsubscribe

This idea that the government should somehow be exempt from proper cybersecurity ethics is disgusting. When the CIA or the NSA find zero day attacks in software, they should report them immediately to be fixed, not build tools specifically
