They disallow all. As for why, it may be technical, or it could be to prevent abuse, who knows.

why the hell would you resort to a picture of text? has the internet gotten so dumbed-down with apps for this and that and facebooks and twitters and instagrams that nobody knows what a fucking hyperlink to a different website is anymore? i mean that is the main navigation tool of the hypertext transfer protocol that is the very foundation of the world wide web, aka the internet as defined by most casual users.

Income inequality has not always grown. It did not grow in the postwar period (low- and middle-class incomes grew faster than high incomes). It's worth noting that this period covers the most rapid increase in overall wealth, prosperity and living standards in human history, precisely because of that.

(This clip has been doing the rounds recently, showing the last forty years. It's unfortunate it doesn't show the last sixty, because that would be much more dramatic.)

This was due to deliberate policy choices, including things like high top tax rates, strong workers rights, strong regulatory frameworks (particular around the finance industry), strong social services, and investment in public infrastructure.

Of course, people got used to these increasing living standards and wanted it to keep going (in no small part because "the American dream" is comprehensively propagandised throughout society). So in the face of stagnant incomes for the last 30-40 years, they have instead turned to debt to pay for those increasing living standards, which has produced the private debt catastrophe currently enveloping the world. Now huge parts of their incomes go into servicing that debt, increasing wealth inequality even more (since it is the wealthy who own the banks) and reducing their disposable incomes even more.

Since you mentioned it, it's worth noting that social mobility in the US has been steadily decreasing and is amongst the lowest in the western world. The same is happening in other countries (eg: here in Australia) as income and wealth disparities increase. It will continue, as the wealthy become more and more isolated from everyone else in private housing estates, private schools and the upper echelons of business and politics. The scariest thing is, this time, we are within site of the elites not needing the working classes at all, thanks to advancing technology.

I repeat. Increasing income inequality is a policy choice.

this is my linux, stock Xubuntu, works perfectly, just the random freeze on standby.
Before last update it was freezing when changing WiFi settings. Now it freezes, about every 4th time, when I close the lid.

Now how do I do a bug report with this? There is no debugging output nowhere. Just a flashing LED.

Like, not at all. Still cannot manage standby/sleep issues. Just crashes.

Oh, wow, so no more "Kill All Men" hashtag or "I Drink Male Tears" images? Because those are pretty damned hateful, even though it's apparently socially acceptable to hate men in a way that it's not for women...

(Whisper, Whisper)

Oh, that's still ok? Huh. Well, at least, no more "Men are the source of all school shootings in the world" type posts, right? Because that's a bigoted, ignorant, statement that ignores...

(Whisper, Whisper)

Huh. Well, ok, then at least they're going to block ISIS accounts and the people perpetuating the fake "Max Temkin is a Rapist" hate-crime posts, right? Because the former is a ltieral terrorist organization and the latter is a discredited hoax that people are using to try and destroy someone whose only crime is he's young, male, and heterosexu... 0000%#N$! NO CARRIER

You have been blocked for Thoughtcrime against the Party, please delete your posts to be allowed back in.

All this is going to do is give the psychotic misandric and racist losers (the so called "Social Justice Warriors," the left-wing authoritarian hate-mob that has infested the Liberals in the US) an in so they can continue to use bots to mass-report dissenting opinions and get them banned. They're already doing so, this just codifies it as official Twitter policy.

They already have.

Adam Baldwin is not a troll, but he is a well-known personality with conservative beliefs. As a consequence, Twitter's abuse department considers him an enemy of the highest order.

Adam Baldwin had his...

I love origin stories.

Even Richard Dawkin...

You know you're in for a bumpy ride when a sentence starts out like that. And in case anyone doesn't know who Richard Dawkin is, he's mainly famous for getting BOFA'd from space on twitter. Here is the exchange that made him so well-known (the dank memes that follow the actual event are worth the trip):

https://twitter.com/richarddaw...

According to Steam.DB it's a page caching issue, and the server not obeying cache control headers. Which wouldn't surprise me, everytime there's a holiday sale of some kind weird things happen on Steam.

Why anyone would post something from Kotaku and believe it to be trustworthy though is what I find funny in all of this. I'm surprised that Kotaku didn't try to blame white males and the patriarchy for the problems.

Depends on exactly what the 1st Circuit rules. I very strongly doubt they would rule I don't have standing (which would be the worst case outcome for my ability to prosecute this).

It's possible they might not want to allow an emergency PI/TRO, in which case it'll get delayed on fuller briefing, probably ~1-6 months. They also might deny preliminary injunction and TRO, without prejudice to an ordinary motion for injunction, in which case we're talking 6-12 months.

It's also possible that they'll rule that yes the TSA violated the APA (again) but they'll let 'em get away with it anyway (like in EPIC v DHS, 653 F3d 1 (D.C. Cir. 2011)). That would be the worst case outcome on substance. I'd probably try for SCOTUS cert petition if that happens.

We'll find out in about a week, anyway, so no need to speculate too much. Follow me on G+ or Twitter, or watch my TSA litigation page if you want updates. ;-)

As Marc Andreessen said yesterday on Twitter, "Google employees will really enjoy using this"!

I too have little confidence in Google's ability to make a messaging app that people will use.

For such a giant tech company with so many smart people I can't fathom how they've managed to screw up instant messaging so, so badly. They could have easily had the dominance they have with email if they'd just built a nice, simple, cross-platform version of the old Google Talk client.

Instead it mutated awkwardly into Hangouts, something which seems weirdly present in different forms on different devices and embedded into certain of their web applications, with varying levels of functionality.

It bugs me that there's no native Windows desktop client, just some Chrome "app" thing. It really bugs me that the mobile application is is kind of worse than ICQ was back in the 90s - the user list does not distinguish between users that are online, away, or offline. The default view is just a list of your previous conversations. It bugs me that they've hidden the logout option (Settings -> Account settings -> scroll to bottom -> sign out) to basically trick you into running it all the time.

I am very sure all of these 'features' are intentional and the result of UX experts studying how people use the application combined with how their biz people want people to use it. I know their goal was to make Hangouts more like an SMS tool - they want people sending messages regardless of online status. (I've never been a big SMS user so I don't know how important the SMS integration for an Internet-based messaging app is to civilians; maybe it's a bigger deal than I think?)

Before Hangouts almost everyone I know was on Google Talk. My relatives around the world used it as a standard communications tool for quick chats and voice chat. Since it has gone to Hangouts they have all (except for one uncle) abandoned it more or less completely - I never see them online any more and I never get any Hangout requests. They've all moved to Skype for voice chat. No idea what they use for messaging.

I don't want an intelligent assistant. I want to be able to send quick messages to people on my list. I want to know in advance if they're online, away, or offline. I want to be able to set my status to any of those states. I want it to be secure and preferably open source (... realising the latter is a long shot). I want it to NOT CHANGE every few months when some new UI/UX person gets a hold of it. I want it to be simple, stable and reliable.

Let's get one thing straight: while I make mistakes, like every human (including you), I call it as I see it and I state my opinions honestly. You, on the other hand, and to the very best of my knowledge, have not done the same. For just one example, you have OFTEN misrepresented my own statements out of context in ways that I believe to be deliberate, premeditated, and malicious. So don't try to pull this "empathy" crap. I have not done the same to you. Certainly never intentionally, and never to anywhere near the degree and depth you have, even if it were done mistakenly (which I do not for a moment believe). ... [Jane Q. Public, 2015-12-11]

You state your opinions honestly? Jane, I've repeatedly explained that you deliberately and maliciously misrepresented my comments to a member of Congress. You've also deliberately and maliciously misrepresented my comments by projecting your own nasty habit of calling people "deniers" onto me. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It's very hard to believe that you didn't do any of this intentionally. Unless you're suffering from (slightly) premature dementia? Otherwise, your incessant claims of honesty seem dubious.

... So if YOU are looking for "empathy" from me, you're probably going to have to wait a long time. I assume you know what empathy means. And I just don't empathize with malicious, bullying, dishonest people. Have a nice day. Very far away from me. [Jane Q. Public, 2015-12-11]

How ironic that you write such a projection-laden rant in response to a request for empathy. Not empathy for me, Jane. Empathy for all the scientists you're viciously attacking. Aren't they people too? Don't they have a right to respond when you baselessly and gleefully accuse them of fraud?

I'll stop criticizing Jane/Lonny Eachus when he stops maliciously bullying scientists. Deal?

I remember the twitter shitstorm that got stirred up because MLP became recommended if you watched Doctor Who, Supernatural, and several other similar genre shows. Seems @CopingWithPony hasn't updated in almost 3 years though. Guess whoever it was got bored.

Yup typing on phone.. damn swipey keyboard is totally captioning the wrong input.

You are doing something very wrong (like using a dozen content blockers simultaneously maybe?). Benchmarks for all the top content blockers show page rendering time typically cut in half or a third ( example).

Is Jane really that stupid? That's a good question. I've often pondered alternatives. Maybe "Jane Q. Public" and his equally charming real life identity are just part of some elaborate performance art like the old "Candid Camera". You know the kind of irony that Millennials are into: "Haha, I'm pretending to be a delusional psychopath who thinks he's a very clever lawyer (scientist, surgeon, scholar, etc.)"

Or maybe Jane lost a bet years ago and now has to spend ~90% of his waking hours on Slashdot and Twitter, spreading misinformation and insulting anyone who expresses skepticism at Jane's claims. Or maybe this is Lonny Eachus's cry for help?

I don't blame you. I just googled her and she is pretty terrifying, cold, and heartless.

I skipped on the article and started on the list of her victims. Most of those people are people that I'd consider left leaning, but I would not wish what she did on them or anyone. She really has no problem destroying anyone even those that mainly agree with her.

And Apple actually treats fingerprints as less secure - the real reason you have fingerprint readers is because it lets you be more secure than the default no PIN or passcode on your phone. The problem of this is human - the typical use case for a phone is you access it thousands of times a day for a few seconds each time. Entering a PIN or passcode makes it so much less convenient that much fewer people (less than 50%) actually do it. But a fingerprint that can be read while the phone is waking up means it's ready to go when you are, and you can have a passcode because that goes out of the way most of the time. Even better, it can be a complex passphrase that you type out - if you're only doing it a few times, it's a lot less inconvenient.

And that's why Apple justified the use of the fingerprint reader - it's less secure, but it's also way more convenient, and if you're not entering your password 1000 times a day, you're more likely to use it. Of course, some people go overboard with their passcodes...

But Apple also realizes the fingerprint is not the be-all end all, hence the rules where if you reboot the phone, or not use it for 48 hours, Apple demands you enter the passcode. The passcode still rules, and if the fingerprint reader goes awry, you can still unlock with it.

Or at least, a different design of fleshlight.

They state that the release will happen on the 5th of November (of course).
They also warn about the pastebin with fake names.

The twitter account that released the pastebin with the government officials that are clearly not KKK is https://twitter.com/sgtbilko42...

and then GG released full logs in the hope that the vast amount of information would overload anyone looking at it.

Apparently, it is you who tries to manipulate people and hopes that people don't look at the logs. Here are the first "#notyourshield" mentions in your IRC logs:

Sep 02 23.40.59 #notyourshield is starting up
Sep 03 00.03.15 > SJW's, stop using gamers as your shield, we are black, too. https://twitter.com/hashtag/no...
Sep 03 00.03.43 if any of you are non-cis non-whites or non-males on twitter, please use #notyourshield

So, yes, you can verify quite easily that the origin of the tag is genuine and your charges of astroturfing are false.

If you scroll down a bit in either article there is a screenshot of where a 4chan anon invented #notyourshield to "deflect genuine criticism."

The quote is: [Use] "Something like #NotYourShield and demand the SJWs stop using you as a shield to deflect genuine criticism,"

What they are saying is that they invented "#notyourhsield" to stop SJWs from misusing minorities as a "shield" because SJWs are trying to "deflect" genuine criticism from themselves that way. Not only is that grammatically clear from the sentence, it also is obvious from the semantics of "shield/deflect".

You are misquoting and misrepresenting this obvious fact as if the proponents of "#notyourshield" wanted to deflect criticism from themselves. I don't know whether you are being deliberately deceptive or whether you are just a careless reader; either way, you are wrong.

I actually hadn't known about the origins of "#notyourshield" (as a minority, I just used it a few times). But thank you for digging this up because it demonstrates again how dishonest and manipulative SJWs are, while the origin of the "#notyourshield" tag is nothing more than what the tag purports to be.
