Zecar··on The FBI tracking your browsing history without a warrant might be the beginning
It's because the amendment was never to authorize spying on browser history, it was an amendment to BLOCK it which was voted down for being a distraction and potentially limit FISA spying in other ways.
Zecar··on Better Box Shadows (CSS)
The only problem with this (and it is infuriating) is that while Chrome and Firefox render box positive box-shadow values identically, they differ substantially with negative values. As a result, to get matching shadows you will need to use browser-specific shadows.

Do you think it was appropriate to call him an asshole?
Zecar··on A List of Hacker News's Undocumented Features and Behaviors
you don't think think there could possibly be downsides from promoting only one set of viewpoints? That seems naive to say the least.

How do I turn off echo chamber mode where well-written posts that go against the mob thinking turn grey?
Zecar··on My Chromecast Ultra would not start until I began answering 8.8.8.8
This is really shady of Google to do, and the fact that they think that it's acceptable just shows how far we've come. "Don't be evil" apparently means "spy on people, censor based on politics, help dirtbags stuck in the 12th century treat women as property, and assist totalitarian regimes to stay in power and censor their populace".

Google is literally cartoonishly evil at this point. That slogan of theirs is an absolute joke.

Zecar··on Why the attack on our cameraman was no surprise
> Well last night that violence unfolded in El Paso. Ron was unhurt. It wasn't life-threatening, but it was aggressive and violent. But what about the next time? Or the time after that?

This is the same shit you see from "Antifa" on the left, and it's abhorrent regardless of the source. To pretend that both sides aren't getting increasingly violent is to reject reality. This isn't a false equivalency situation; both left and right are being pushed into division.

And it's the media that's doing it.

Zecar··on Atlantic City Is Really Going Down This Time
I don't know how much real science can be done on a barrier island, we already know how these things work. Same reason you don't buy a house in a horseshoe bend on a river.
Zecar··on Apple, Google criticised for Saudi Absher app that tracks women
Yeah apparently treating women as property doesn't violate Google's terms. Weird.

Didn't they ban Infowars?

Conspiracy theories: not ok Treating women as property: ok

Zecar··on IE is a 'compatibility solution', to be used selectively, warns Microsoft exec
Google literally censors plugins they don't like from being loaded into Chrome. No.
Zecar··on Georgia’s 127k Missing Votes, Disproportionate to African American Neighborhoods
You folks think that Russians interfered with our election results, I would think you would thusly support securing our elections...

1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Have you read it? If you don't think overthrowing our democracy is an act of war against the USA or giving our enemies aid and confort....

> Also, legally, neither one is treason.

Haha ok man but no for real that's actual treason.

Zecar··on Georgia’s 127k Missing Votes, Disproportionate to African American Neighborhoods
FYI, any attempt to steal an election is both (a) fraud and (b) treason, and I don't even understand why you're trying to rules-lawyer a distinction here.
Zecar··on U.S. Steel wins tax breaks from one of America's poorest cities
It should be federally illegal here. Corporate welfare is theft.

Wait, voter fraud doesn't exist but hey look it happened just last year?
Zecar··on Does Jeff Bezos Have a Legal Case Against the National Enquirer?
The fact that this post was downvoted is not however surprising to me. Keep it up echo chamber!
Zecar··on Twitter Still Can't Keep Up with Its Flood of Junk Accounts, Study Finds
Twitter has a perverse incentive to allow them because it is directly related to their stock price
Zecar··on How does one appear in the Google News carousel?
> Popular news sources are more likely to be true.

Why on Earth would you believe such a thing? That's utterly ludicrous.

Zecar··on Saying Goodbye to Louisville
I fully expect my ATT Fiber to go up in price or down in transfer allotment as a result. What a shame.

Zecar··on Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers by 2100
> Please check the wikipedia page for what is actually claimed.

You want to point me to a fact you are trying to refute?

Zecar··on Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers by 2100
The actual level of confidence is near zero, not what is written. Climate scientists can prove it really easily; give a forecast of the weather more than 30 days out. Anybody claiming to be able to predict decades+ of weather should easily be able to do a 30 day forecast.

We're at such a weird area in American politics that I literally cannot tell if you're joking or serious.
Zecar··on Reddit is raising a huge round near a $3B valuation
This is hilarious. Yes the reason the subreddit for the President of the USA is allowed to exist is so the FBI can gather evidence.
