Using porn means that the test was flawed. He didn't really store petabytes of data. He had a relatively modest collection of porn and uploaded it multiple times, and the server de-duplicated 99.99% of it into a few bytes of a reference to the original instance.
The major limitation of PiHole, and hosts lists in general, is that they can't re-write HTML on the fly like uBlock can. All they can do is block certain domains, they can't do pattern matching or collapse the holes where the advertising used to be.
PrivacyBadger has a big advantage over hosts files too - it does real-time analysis and automatically blocks sites that appear to be tracking you, without the need for someone to manually check and update a hosts file.
Hosts is becoming ineffective anyway as advertisers get wise to it and either register new domains constantly or start serving the advertising/malware from the same server as the content. uBlock can also defeat anti-adblocking measures that check for content loading.
Why is it, that old tech companies must go down, to be replaced by new client respecting companies, whom then become douche bag corporatists and must again be replaced.
Because they start out losing vast amounts of money by not having ads or monetizing your data, and then realize that they need to show a profit one day and go bad. Then some startup does the same thing and the cycle repeats.
By the way, blocking all third party Javascript (except for a few whitelists for common libraries) is pretty effective.
PrivacyBadger is great for handling that kind of tracking. It works by looking for third party sites that seem to be common to multiple websites you visit, and are thus able to track you as you move between them. It can then either block just cookies (allowing stuff like content to load) or it can block them entirely.
True, but Intel are probably somewhat bummed that people have lost trust in them because apparently they can't secure their updates against hacking. If the CIA can do it, we should probably assume that they have been pwned by the FSB, North Korea and some 14 year old kid.
I wish they would get rid of the diesel busses in cities. Chinese companies have been building 150 mile range large busses for a while now, and most new busses sold in China re electric. Meanwhile ours still spew out black soot right into people's faces.
As such, a 200-300 mile range wouldn't even slow them down as long as they didn't have queue for charging too much. The law is strictly enforced too, with vehicles being fitted with devices to monitor compliance.
In any case, it's only a matter of a few years until they go fully antonymous anyway.
I've read the article and while it seems like this fork over one tweet (disclaimer: I'm taking the summary's word on that) I can see what the problem is.
The article isn't really concerned about people with Asperger's. If it was, the author would at least consider that a code of conduct might accommodate them, as many do. Instead, it uses them as an excuse.
The language used in the article is a giveaway, but the more it contains really put it beyond doubt. For example, check the link to thefire.org and what it considers to be a "red flag" at Harvard.
This isn't any posting. This is about just visiting a site.
The link in the summary goes to the wrong article. Thanks to this precedent you could be caught up in a witch hunt just by clicking an innocent looking link.
since nothing in the news had anything to do with her life.
Trump has nothing to do with her life? Did she even vote, did she even know about the election or who the candidates were?
Democracy only works properly if you have an engaged, informed electorate. If you don't, shit like Trump and Brexit happens, and I hate to use the N word but if it gets really bad you end up with 1930s Germany.
This requires a separate "manage wifi connections" permission on Android. I'm rather surprised that iOS doesn't require something similar.
Having said that, it probably isn't reading the SSIDs itself, just using the "coarse location" service which it likely wants to present you with local weather forecasts.
Not that I disagree with your wider point, but I think you have this backwards. If Bitcoin keeps getting more valuable, it would be better to sell something at a price people can afford today and then sit on the coin as its value increases. Say you sold a nice hat for 1 BTC years ago when 1 BTC was only worth $20, now your Bitcoin is worth $4000.
Merchants that started accepting BTC early, usually at really crappy exchange rates, have done really well if they resisted the urge to convert to USD right away.
I agree. Legitimate concerns that must be addressed. The problem is that the honest answer is "it's complicated and the solutions take time to work, and you are going to have to change your lifestyle and outlook to get there". It's very easy for someone to come in and promise to fix everything with some simplistic ideas like "build a wall".
They tried what you suggested, looking at small numbers of users in detail. This is to get an overview and look for larger trends, like how many people install add-ons that bring back the old UI or enable hidden preferences in about:config.
I wouldn't turn it on myself, but especially if it was opt-in it would be a legitimate way of collecting data.
On the one hand Mozilla get criticised for not listening to users and delivering changes they don't want.
On the other, when Mozilla tries to listen to users they are told there is no good reason for them to do so.
Okay, it would be better if it was opt-in with a prompt on first run, but opt-out with a clear request before any information is logged isn't terrible.

In Europe the law requires drivers to take regular breaks. Details here: https://ec.europa.eu/transport...

False dichotomy. There are plenty of competent, even brilliant people who are not assholes.

That's hardly the only time. There was an incidental in China where autopilot drove full speed into a road sweeper that it apparently couldn't see.
Tesla seem to have admitted it doesn't work as originally advertised, by repeatedly increasing the amount of effort it makes to keep the driver alert.
Not voter turnout, but the general ignorance of most voters leading to bad outcomes.

Although 2.6 minutes average is still impractical for shop use.

Actually if you declined the terms, by say closing the window or clicking "not now", it installs anyway. After you specifically declined to authorize.

Don't worry, we are doing everything in our power to ensure we don't remain the 5th largest economy for long.
I doubt the amount of criminality facilitated by Bitcoin is even 0.01% of the amount facilitated with USD or any major fiat currency.
14 minutes is still insanely slow though. I don't want to wait 15 minutes for my cup of coffee.

I just super-glue mine into my hand, that way there's no chance of me dropping it!

This is why I only play on old consoles that I can completely hack and open up. The games tend to be better anyway.
