> Child abuser aren't humans after all By declaring, that some people you don't like aren't humans you can always circumvent the human rights. But who know, who is the next person deciding, that YOU aren't a human? So nope... human rights apply to everyone.
Your boss is paying for your computer AND your work and it's still very limited what he is allowed to install on your pc, when it comes to monitoring tools. And yes, it IS very limited, even when many companies do more than they are allowed to do.
> There's a difference between spying on someone and parenting and monitoring your kids' activities on internet devices. No, it isn't. And you're supporting the government, when it later tells your children "It's not spying, it's for your security, when we store your internet traffic for 18 months".
And now they want a solution, where female code should be accepted despite bugs? Hey, every issue found is a good thing. It should be fixed and then the code should be resubmitted. It may even mean code of higher quality, when bugs are easier to find. In unreadable code bugs may be hard to spot, while good code makes bugs more obvious. While the programmer itself may have some blindness there (because he wrote the code and reads his idea, not the code when reviewing himself), a peer review works better with readable code. Some people even tend to accept unreadable code to avoid telling, that they do not understand this "work of a genius".
Think about mesh networking. How far is your wireless range? Let's say 1km with good antenna. And how big is the latency? Let's say 10 ms. How many hops does your packet need to get to the target? How much latency is acceptable? You won't get a usable network without cables.
And getting 1% of frequency spectrum... globally? Do you think all countries use the same allocations?
Do they assign every customer an own ip with open port? I do not think so... I guess you're just getting a LAN IP and NAT to the internet again. With IPv6 it gets interesting again...
As if your carrier gives you a "real ip" with open ports. You're with tens of other people behind the same ip with NAT, there is nothing, which can reach ports on your phone.
And possibly on what. When you write a script to automate a task and put it on github, you may have saved a lot of work with the script for yourself and just shared it instead of keeping it only at your workstation. On the other hand, maybe the employer would want to sell it... as you're actually created it for them.
The code belongs to your employer. You do not have the right to distribute it without his consent. Not in your name and not with a licence you're choosing. It's his code, because he payed for the development time.
They aren't that dumb... who writes a crawler puts in some protections against too big websites or sites autogenerating content with dynamic urls. So for example they put non-popular github links on the end of a queue to check them after everything else was processed. So they may slowly add unimportant github content, but won't crawls terabytes of data just now, but only some megabytes every now and then. Their bandwidth and storage capacity is limited as well.
Gone doesn't mean there will be no replacement. It just tells, that the replacement will not be the same file. So you can re-request the URL, but you should not try to resume a download from there.
> 2) People will be more wary to publish anything on the web. Also known as self-censorship. Actually you NEED to be wary. If you publish something, it is there, it will be copied, screenshotted, archived... not only by bots. Have a look at twitter. When a celebrity twitters something dumb, there are 5 people posting screenshots before they have the chance to delete the tweet. You should not censor yourself. But maybe you choose the use your anonymity online. Even a anonymity which isn't anonymous against your hoster is anonymous against archives. You do not need to put your name next to everything (dumb) you say online. An interesting opinion is worth a read independend of the writer.
There are already flags like "noarchive" to get google to index the site, but not provide public "google cache" links (you can assume they still cache it, but that doesn't matter for you). So archive.org should ignore noindex directives, but not noarchive ones.

checkbox? Too easy, make it a slider! Write to the left and right, what the directions mean? Too ease, write it below the sliding part. Yeah, who cares, that moving the slider to the side with the text "ON" now turns it off and shows OFF on the inactive side. We color it to show, if it is active (like checkboxes before). But lets not make it obvious, choose the colors so, that the user first needs to see both states, to decide if he thinks the thing is currently active or inactive.
> Ever thought that your workflow may need improvement? And when my workflow needs improvement this means YOU should decide how i need to change it? Give me more options, but DO NOT change how it works for me now. An upgrade may give me the chance to change the workflow, but MUST NOT change it without my consent. This is what many softwares get wrong, i.e. MS Windows and Mozilla Firefox.

So nope
Bullshit!
So we know in which half you're.

Didn't they get the message, that you now use javascript to create
asdf
by writing html("p").html("b").content("asdf"), so that the website takes longer to render and doesn't work with browsers which disabled javascript?
But that's not the ad money. It's the money of people paying for access.

Create a Canary Token and place it on your server: https://canarytokens.org/gener...

you're the betatester for them. They force the updates on you, so they know if it will run for the business line.
At first i read "immoral avatars".

Firefox crashes once a day here since version 52 and even with 53. With 51 it was stable. Possibly Quantum is more the problem than the solution?
emacs would at least add a nice video player, to the software.

Android, Gnome, i look at you.
