mido22··on Lax regulation made it cheaper for China to outsource pork production to the US
so you are saying USA provides high quality standard of living for all it's citizens?
mido22··on Lax regulation made it cheaper for China to outsource pork production to the US
I don't care what the article says, couldn't the headline have used "shit", "bad" or anything else instead of "developing world"? (despite being thick-skinned) I find it offensive
mido22··on The Great Lightbulb Conspiracy
Reminds me of 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness in Discworld.
mido22··on Making a case for JavaScript, in-browser Mining
I think it is not a bad idea, imagine the mining is taking place only when the page is active and (max) 5 - 10$ on your electricity bill split among all the publisher, a much better alternative to ads if you ask me.
mido22··on The ACLU Asks in 1934: Shall We Defend Free Speech for Nazis in America?
I am kinda confused, facebook was criticized for not weeding out "fake news" (same for twitter/ Instagram not controlling trolling/hate speech), and Cloudflare is criticized for not being content neutral... damned if you do, damned if you don't
mido22··on Most Vegetarians and Vegans Eventually Return to Meat
former meat eater, turned vegan about 3 years ago, what other vegans fail to you is... it's a trap, why you ask?

1. the constant hunger 2. need for b12 supplements 3. oh, you enjoy traveling the world, good luck finding vegan food in villages of Philippines, or Bratislava. Personally, suffered in these cities among others 4. better start liking those salads and bland pastas and pizzas without cheese, either that or fries in some restaurants here in Sweden

It is not a easy life, so I understand why some give up, quite surprised that I haven't (yet!).

P.S : Bratislava does have one awesome vegan kiosk

mido22··on Digital Privacy at the U.S Border: A New How-To Guide from EFF
come to Sweden, we got lots :)
mido22··on Digital Privacy at the U.S Border: A New How-To Guide from EFF
you are missing the point, NYC is not worth the humiliation I might suffer
mido22··on Digital Privacy at the U.S Border: A New How-To Guide from EFF
(as a Non-american), what I am sensing is, either bend over for the inspection or buzz off and leave your things behind, guess I ll just never visit NYC, anyway Paris is better for vacations :P
mido22··on A solution for enabling UDP in the web
can't understand this bashing of WebRTC, it is good technology, TURN config is optional is not compulsory, but believe STUN is still necessary because, unlike the public server, the client is behind NAT, but then again, setting up a TURN+STUN server is a trivial job...
mido22··on Two Indian engineers at Garmin in Kansas shot, one killed
would that bring back the dead...
mido22··on Learning how to lose weight and avoid being judgemental
here is question, why do want to deadlift 150kg, how does it help (with anything other being muscular)?
mido22··on Learning how to lose weight and avoid being judgemental
canned tomatoes is bad??? :-O, trust me, unhealthy vegan food is not easy to find, because, most times, it is hard to find processed vegan snacks to begin with, and quickly get bored of eating the same brand of unhealthy ones
mido22··on Learning how to lose weight and avoid being judgemental
losing weight is simple (not easy), what worked for me is, strict Vegan diet.
mido22··on In Its Third Month, India’s Cash Shortage Begins to Bite
Indians (most unlike me) are a creative lot, the longer you take to implement a change, higher the amount of black money escapes, and smaller group knowing about the secret, the better
mido22··on Feeling safer online with Firefox
I disagree, I trust WebRTC enough for camera and screen access, the one real issue might be, it exposes your local ip
mido22··on Feeling safer online with Firefox
not sure if you can call these features, these are basically options to see what permissions you have given and what are being used by whom, and as for the features question, any day I would prefer camera access through WebRTC than installing and using flash plug-in.
mido22··on Does India need its own vernacular internet?
Am I the only Indian who thinks this is not such a bad thing, prefer one language to unite us all (isn't that the common base for most far-future novels?), don't care which, I can converse in three Indian languages, and know bit of french. In Sweden, all that knowledge is useless, all the main sites are in Swedish, now I am learning å,ö,ä, guess how much fun I am having?
mido22··on Why Space Elevators Could Be the Future of Space Travel
funny that they mentioned 2009's “Gundam 00”, but haven's said a word about Authur C Clarke's 1979 novel "Fountains of Paradise", the whole novel is about this.
