Do you remember back when Pidgin, Trillian, and others created clients that worked across AOL, MSN, and other messengers. They worked for a while, they'd stop working, they'd update and start working, and that went over and over

Not really. Twitter, and Reddit publish(ed) API's that required one to obtain a key in order to use at scale. No one reverse engineered them.

What's the point of this article, to try to discredit him? He's already discredited. The whistleblowing doesn't require his trust, it's true or it's not. We already know he's not trustworthy, and surprise,

The reason I learned how to use vi was it's ubiquity. If I develop muscle memory which requires carrying around a USB pedal I'm not going to have a good time on any but my own workstation. Not sure it's worth it.

Apple would have us believe that they're the privacy company. They're doing a good job with that marketing message. But what's more secure? How do Google, and Amazon compare? Do I have to run my own servers? Do I have no

This is great, and will definitely cut down on collateral damage and allow for precision strikes when causing enemies of the state to become room temperature.

The way he hand-waves away Apple's statement about there being no extra space in the device is arrogant and disingenuous at best. Does the phone altimeter work as designed? No Does the phone remain waterproof? No Deal breaker.

The takeaway I get from this is that whenever the Kremlin is attacked, they'd rather the nearby Airports take the hit. I guess then no one will leave, and no one will come in.

The sentiment, that Americans don't NEED fast home internet is probably more accurate than not. It's not relevant though. Need has never been the driving force in the market. It's want, and if people want it, there's

You could argue that evolution will adapt to processed white food as a dietary staple. I dare say the diabetes and heart disease epidemic is the start of natural selection weeding out the genes less tolerant of high carb, high fat diets.

You can't. Every faction has their own truth. And since people vary so widely, you might need to experiment to find your truth. Your best bet is do do N=1 experiments on yourself. Find what works, and do that.

You prevent this by really trusting people (Trust, but verify). Don't screw them over. Treat them better than fairly. Give your employees raises before you give yourself anything. And do backups. And then backups of those backups.

How do I backup my iPhone automatically every night to crash plan or Backblaze? Can't? Ok, Apple sucks. Now that that's out of the way, given the reality we have, it's worth paying Apple for the storage.
