Firefox is persuing other revenue sources as well, such as a paid premium browser. My last hope against the advertising economy is this model taking off.

What would they need to feel remorseful about? Automating a video game? It's not like they're breaking the law... I think bots are the least harmful type of cheats anyway. I remember my first intro to programming was modifying Action Replay codes for online NDS games, that was fun but I ruined many people's games doing so. I do kind of regret abusing it like that in hindsight but I would do it again given how formative the experience was.

'The film also uncovers how some Facebook pages that promote hate speech are left up and running. The undercover reporter inquires about a far-right page that touts anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant content. He is told that these pages, though they have exceeded Facebook’s “allowed content” violations, remain active and are “shielded,” preventing the CPL moderators from deleting them. “Obviously, they have a lot of followers, so they’re generating a lot of revenue for Facebook,” says one moderator.'

Whenever I read the word unhackable my neck hairs stand right up.

So just what is it that Glenn Greenwald did then?

Your ISP won't log the request going to /r/LSD. It's over SSL, so the only thing your ISP sees is a request to reddit.com.

What would they stand to gain from that? They had to use a 0day on it, they would never use that on the general public.

Those are American salaries, you should account for cost of living and possible lack of employer-covered pension savings cost with that.

Don't use the UI. Use the CLI. It sucked at first but made my experience tenfold easier down the line.

Wow, you knocked it out of the park. This is exactly how I feel about the direction the internet, or maybe even western society as a whole, has been going in over the last 10 years.

The plastic gear thing sounds incredibly familiar. (How) did you fix it?

That works, until you add rehypothecation to the mix. The balance sheet doesn't add up anymore.

Monday's episode of the Daily did a pretty good job with this. It opens you up to a myriad of ways for blackmailing or other nasty things through correlation attacks. The data itself is for sale and anyone with the money for it can use it however they want. Hypothetically you could make it as extreme as you want, with what's available now the following could happen with just your location data correlated with your work or home address:

Your insurance company will increase your premium if they see you're often out late at night.

Your employer could see if you use a vacation day to, possibly, apply at a competitor without him knowing it.

Workers at a nuclear powerplant might get approached by foreign actors intercepting their commute.

How would they go about figuring out who did it though? Can't really involve law enforcement in that.

You could (and should) minify JS for builds, which essentially renders it useless for editing purposes. Heuristically you could still find parts that phone home and disable those but getting further than that is going to be a pain.

If we're considering Antifa as the norm for the left we might as well consider neonazis as such for the right.

Seems to me like there's a growing backlash against the outrage culture that started halfway this decade. I hope it lasts and we can return to normalcy.

Easier than vpn: prefix the website with outline.com/

The pay-per-view ad model does the same, but if anything it wastes that attention time.

So the key takeway is that you not only have to opensource your serverside component, but also have to allow self hosting? I haven't had my morning coffee yet so I may be wrong here, but that seems extreme.

Utrecht is so much better than Amsterdam... That city has become a tourist playground at this point.

ISIS does its recruitment over the internet for one... Local cults of hatred have become global now.

Elaborate! Are they leaving as well?

It's not all black and white. I'd say it's not choosing Iran over the US, it's more a matter of distancing away from the US.

Demand better public transportation?

It's been 16 hours. Are you gonna make good on that promise?

I just use outline.com/[url]. Also helps to circumvent paywalls.

Maybe that's necessary to push some resistance among the common Australian.

You don't trade against the exchange - you trade against counterparties that deposited as well.
