Oh I don't disagree with you! My purpose was not to suggest you were wrong, just present my experience and thoughts about why it's become so widely used _despite_ the issues you've raised. I think people overcome the awkward

In my experience, discord was better than the previous options for a few reasons. A) it's free, as opposed to a vent or TS server, which while they are not expensive, it's still a barrier to setting one up. B) the free tier has qu

From the switches I have used it does appear that Gateron QC is more consistent than Outemu or Kailh - but I have handled 10 different mechs at most so the sample size certainly isn't large enough to draw any meaningful conclusions!

Well I have a KC60 with Gateron Browns which I have used with both a plastic case and an alu one, and whilst this does change the typing experience quite a lot I do enjoy both. The feeling is consistently a nice, clean and snappy typing exp

In my experience of Red and Brown switches, Gateron ones have always been more pleasant to use than Cherry ones. On my desk at home I have a Cherry MX Brown board (Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L) that I am seriously considering taking apart

I am by no means an expert on this area of the law, but I think this is a really interesting topic that I tried to explore in a recent dissertation. I think the issues come from the fact that copyright law really fails to represent the real

I feel that electoral law needs major reform in the direction of transparency and openness. It is not equipped to deal with the digital age, and asking platforms to turn down cash and refuse to publish political advertisements is the wrong

Peter Oborne wrote a good article [1] discussing the issues of relying on unnamed government sources to print stories. I think it has been a continuous source of highly questionable information and we really have no way of holding anyone to

It's not necessarily about wrongful convictions, though they are included, but I'd recommend reading a book called 'The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It's Broken'[1] if you were interested in some of

I was sceptical at first - but the windows key + shift + s shortcut really made it work for me! (I know I could have mapped Snipping Tool to a macro easily enough but... I didn't) EDIT: Oh, also the fact that it automatically copies th

I have a CoolerMaster Masterkey Pro L with Cherry MX Browns - Its a nice keyboard, well built and not too showy. I got it for the office and I didn't want something that was very 'gamer-ey'. Only criticism is that the Cherry

Fellow T1D in the UK Here. I'm coming towards the end of my 'trial period' with my FreeStyle Libra and I am shocked at how much I have been able to take control of my glucose levels. I have never had particularly bad control

I would second Uniqlo, and also suggest GAP. But honestly I am not really aware of either of their ethical records, but have found their clothes to be a good balance of price and quality, and they are about the only shops I can find as a Mi

I wonder if it is because the tobacco industry was fighting a war against the very direct link between smoking and cancer. Ultimately the science proved that smoking is damaging to your body, and that damage is expensive to fix, and the cos

I think it is partially due to the fact that the establishment of the NHS has always been framed as a monumental act. It's creation is seen as part of the country's recovery after WW2, and has been used as a political tool in almo

I would recommend reading James Boyle's 'The Public Domain'. It's available free from his site on a creative commons license[1]. He makes a great argument about the development of IP laws, similar to the points you have

I agree with you, and frankly, hacking something together on your own or in a small group is not necessarily going to produce a product that you can then sell, especially considering the potential ramifications due to faults or misconfigura

It's good to hear that there are plenty of technology focused opportunities in the legal profession. The only one I had thought about prior to your comment was specialising in IP and technology, so I will definitely look into those oth

Cool, what you said about going to do another degree gave me the impression you were probably based in Europe! I'm in the UK myself. Yeah I think that's probably the way to go, thanks for the advice.

So it looks as though the article has been edited to say the anonymisation and aggregation was carried out before being transferred to a third party, which craps on our discussion a bit. However, to answer your question anyway - I don

Yes, you are correct. I think it would be extremely difficult to justify that this kind of processing was necessary for the provision of service. It seems to me that an organisation the size of Dropbox would have a fairly watertight justifi
