A lot of people (most people?) seem to have that built into their BIOS. Or at least the most basic functionality needed to do that. That's not to imply they all like those situations, just that they don't freeze up and experience

Part of the challenge for publishers lies in deciding what they really are. Following a quantity over quality model might work well for many. On the other hand, Wired (as distinct from Condé Nast) have traditionally had a different kind of

I have no idea whether they're commonly accepted rules. Like most other cargo cult daters I like to think there are rules, and that they mean something, but when all is said and done I'm pretty sure you're right. It's a

Charging one dollar instead of five isn't compromising, that's haggling. I don't think anyone could begrudge them charging money, it's just that they don't give their technically savvy audience a real choice. It&#x2

"Trust us, and everyone connected to us, and everyone connected to them."" Wired is asking its readership to compromise, without being willing to make any compromises themselves. They're asking us to trust them on a one-

The last leaked draft the EFF have on their site is from May 2014 (specifically the chapter covering intellectual property). Other bits and pieces have surfaced over the last two years as well, not all of them obtained legally, which is pre

You will most likely find a shift in the hive mind, but presumably only because Reddit grew from a smaller community with relatively dominant progressive and atheist/agnostic values into something much more mainstream. Reddit 2006 woul

We're all someone's cattle in some greater scheme. The community funds education and healthcare, not because we're nice people, but because there's a net benefit to having a healthy and educated workforce. It's cyni

Your numbers can't be faulted, but the risks might be overstated. Based on purely anecdotal evidence (several young Syrian men who ended up in Belgium) I can say that many of these guys do indeed have families they intend to bring over

Presumably Facebook would have CSP headers set on some of the scripts they load to prevent JavaScript on the page from interacting with their own scripts.

It's JavaScript, so the client pays for it. If you're on an already slow browsers, you don't want to see it choke after you click on a button. So companies like Facebook ignore the problem on the client side, and solve it on

It's possible to detect whether an element is visible using window.getComputedStyle(). Why don't Facebook do this? Because it's slow. And measures like this can cause problems on the page. They want their button integration t

Looking at the code, it's clear the strings are merely tests, and not used when a proper string is defined. However, the fact that their tests and examples use these strings, makes it clear what they thought a good application of their

To determine whether something is really just "blog spam", I always look at whether the page adds anything that would be lost on YouTube. In this case there's the description, a link to slides, and information on the speaker.
