The way I see it is that if Firefox's userbase dwindles because of this, either we get our Firefox with opt-out telemetry or... Firefox dies. And now we have a Chrome monopoly. I'm not sure I like that gamble.

An interesting idea a roommate thought up: So 100 years ago, a guy kidnapping your daughter (just an example of anything that could only be resolved by you knowing where you daughter was) isn't a serious worry, since that's a 0.01

If they're frustrated with Sublime with practical reasons (i.e. performance, plugins, extensibility), I don't think Code or Atom would satisfy them any better. You could make the argument for vim or emacs there, but those have bee

If you have a patent against Facebook, let's face it, that patent claim is going to be bigger than React ever can be. The cost of switching out a JS framework would be well worth the benefits of taking a legitimate patent claim on FB.

No designated desks, or no pre designated desks? If it's the former, then yeah, I'm bailing, that's tremendously dumb. If it's the latter, then whatever, it's hardly even a selling point.

It takes me all of 10 seconds to type duckduckgo.com, and maybe 30 to switch default search engines for the browser. I don't think I could switch an ISP in 10 days, let alone seconds.

Do details no longer matter? "A man was arrested for walking." and "A man was arrested for walking and aiming a rifle at a woman." are clearly different actions. A lawyer went to prison, for illegal statements she made,

Free speech necessarily does have limits, obviously, otherwise I could claim my ddosing your web server or my uploading of CP was simply me expressing my free speech. Does my free speech only end when my actions infringe other laws? Or shou

Can they not simply self-host? But besides that, my understanding is that though the internet is free, the various entities on the internet are equally free to refuse service. After all, if they were otherwise obligated, that would imply X&

SC1 really doesn't make sense for this, 80% of the skill is just keeping on top of the mindless but mechanically intensive stuff, which is trivial beyond trivial for an AI. SC2's automated away most of this (pretty much everything

If you stay mostly in the produce aisle of your supermarket, you're 90% of the way to being added sugar free. Which is admittedly different than completely sugar free, since that's entirely absurd. But we've survived every ge

As the saying goes, to boil a frog, you simply have to gradually turn up the heat. Of course you won't notice much when comparing this year to last, especially since the weather's fairly random. But the trends all point in one dir

If you go running into a burning building, you can't expect your allies to do the same. We might, but that's on our own volition, not out of any obligation.

But is there any advantage to e-voting? Assuming that we can achieve exactly equal security to paper voting for a moment, what have we achieved other than adding another few layers of middlemen and cost?

There are far far too many links in that massive chain to trust on obscurity as security.
