Reddit should remove the π symbol on their website, as if Pi itself disappeared.

"We can't talk about Pi."

How deep is the rabbit hole?

For those who aren't familiar, a NSL Canary is like a Warrant Canary, but for National Security Letters.

Australia just outlawed warrant canaries. Scary times.

Coincidence. Commenter SwimAway had a more likely argument that it is polarizing language.

If they are not harnessing big data for writing speeches then the White House is less savvy than Netflix and House of Cards writer, Beau Willimon.

A key promise of Obama's campaign for the presidency was to run the “most transparent” government- however the only person to really deliver on that promise was a whistleblower. Secret courts, secret domestic spying, and now calls for weakening of the digital equivalent of the safe shows that he either was not honest about transparency, or has radically changed his opinion since becoming POTUS.

Maybe it's that he decided to use his political clout to pick healthcare as his signature in American history, not wage war against the NSA, but either way it saddens me to have campaigned for someone who has empowered a surveillance state instead of fight against it.

Liberty literally means "freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control", and freedom in the information age means the liberty to communicate and store information. Anything to compromise that makes us all more vulnerable to control in all parts of our lives, not just those stored in zeros and ones. I believe America can be "Land of the free, home of the brave", but not without digital liberty.

I tried it out, but my biggest complaint was after withdrawing money, Digit immediately started taking out money again.

If one withdraws money, they might not want it being sucked back out immediately.

What are your crimes, citizen?

This is FUD.

While not directly connected to the NSA, it's plausible the prosecution of Aaron Swartz amounted to suppressing dissent. It's hard to say what the root cause was prosecutorial overreach or a real effort to suppress a powerful political organizer. Either way, he became a target for his ideas and activism.

Would that mean every business would need to have a bond, or just in the case of litigation?

I hadn't heard about any data leaks from Slack, so I looked it up:

http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/8/6946341/slack-has-a-seriou...

https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/382mao/psa...

What's confusing is the second link is about Skype leaking your IP, not Slack.

In my experience H1B employees are paid less because those in hiring positions know they can offer less.

The extra work needed to do this pretty makes it very unlikely to be implemented much. Additionally the DOM level obfuscating is just bad for performance.

if you're looking to prevent Ad Blockers, this is not your solution.

I have the same issue.

Alternatively a Docker ubuntu base image with nginx + pagespeed would be wonderful.

[Edit] Found these links:

Worked pretty well! Please add an integration for SEOMOZ, that's as important as GA.

0,0 is Null Island!

It's not about balance sheets, it's about having time to cope with any unexpected problems with the transaction, like fraud.

It's frustrating, and ideally not necessary, but it's essentially a safety net for the middle party.

Holding onto funds is how you mitigate risk as a bank or money transmitter.

> The group also apparently gained access to a number of government Web portals and applications, including the Joint Automated Booking System (a portal that provides law enforcement with data on any person's arrest records, regardless of whether the cases are ordered sealed by courts) and government employee personnel records

Why is it that sealed arrest records are not actually sealed?

Agreed.

An "average user" is claiming to have beaten the world record in the racing game "Dirt Rally" by 12 seconds using the Oculus Rift.

This story about Cardboard may be a PR stunt, but it may also be true that VR provided powerful insight that outperforms a flat screen or even a printed model.

VR is going to be used a lot more in situations where understanding physical environments is important, be it Nanotech, Healthcare, Architecture... simply because it is so immersive.

The hypothetical question Facebook should ask is:

"If the security researcher did not disclose the RCE, but instead sold it to highest bidder, how much would that likely pay in this situation?"

Paying security researchers to properly disclose is a way of financially encouraging the right behavior. While it may be tough to stomach a large payout for responsible disclosure, do you really want them considering the alternative? It's like tipping in a restaurant to ensure food quality.

I wonder if this had anything to do with the flood of negative comments to their Amazon product pages?

3/5 stars: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-455303-White-Starter-Generatio...

4/5 stars (previously 4.5/5): http://www.amazon.com/Philips-456210-Ambiance-Starter-Genera...

Some kind of datatable showing key observable metrics would be great.

A more direct way of hitting their sales is to write a review.

Philips Hue Hub (4.5/5 stars currently): http://www.amazon.com/Philips-426353-Personal-Wireless-Light...

Consider writing a review if you bought it from a site like Amazon.

Consider returning it and writing a bad review if you bought it from a platform like Amazon.

Maybe they aren't doing anything illegal, but you can still rate them if the product is different from what you expected.

The same backdoor will be exploited by other countries and hackers. There's no such thing as a safe backdoor.
