That's really confusing cause and effect. For some sectors we rely on 'Europe' but the cause is that talented individuals are often discouraged from training or staying in the UK. Nurses are a prime example of this issue
I understand your intent but please don't find this satisfying. Many who voted 'out' did so simply because they felt they had no other method of getting their voice heard. They used the referendum as a way to express…
+1 for Signal (used to be TextSecure). They now have a desktop app in beta which synchronises perfectly with my mobile
I listened to an interview with the Home Secretary, Theresa May, yesterday. She explicitly stated several times that she had no say in the Miranda's detention as it was a police matter. Odd, then, that she is…
The Press Regulation Scheme is in no way similar to the use of MI5 and police resources to interrogate an individual who ,for all in intents and purposes, seems innocent of any terrorism related crime. I see no conflict…
As a European I feel very sad that many national governments are so much under the thumb of US. To divert the plane of another nation's leader without due legal justification is a big statement about the lengths our…
That's only true if the voters have visibility of what they're voting for. That's wht is so bad about this situation, the secracy negates the foundation of democracy
Being in receipt of tax revenue is no measure of being a useful department. And how does it work when other countries are found spying on the US or UK? presumably this is also perfectly acceptable.
Obama, "you can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy." OK, I agree. So how about you and your "security" agencies are a lot less private about what you're doing. Be completely open about…
The US government's attitude is akin to an angry parent shouting, "how dare you!" at an impertinent teenager. General Alexander's statement that, "What Snowden has revealed has caused irreversible and significant damage…
There is a key difference between this story and the Snowden case. It is unlikely that the UK government will actively pursue and convict any of the sources of the story. The UK, for now at least, appears less desperate…
I am very reluctant to draw parallels between real-life and fiction, but the steady stream of stories from the US from Bradely Manning to Snowden to Barrett Brown is making the possibility of a 1984 style state a real…
I guess you're completely ignorant of how widely used their software is. I really need to get enough points to downvote :<
I agree. But the second part of the statement is still true, "the US look like a self righteous sabre rattling bully"
hmm, construction and medical practice require legislation because dodgy practices may well result in harm to individuals. I don't see that's relevant here. BTW, I support the move by Mozilla.
some of the faqs are ridiculous; apparently blocking some 3rd party cookies by default goes against users freedom of choice yet enabling them by default is great for user choice!
Yes, I can't argue with that, though I am meeting an increasing number of non-techies who are interested in different (better) ways of using the web and IT in general.
That's confusing two different concepts. URLs are the equivalent of a full postal address whereas searching is the equivalent of asking a stranger how to get somewhere. Why would you want to always ask and trust a…
Given who he is, I imagine pcwalton is far more familiar with it than you are. Either way, you're wrong. Bytecode is not human readable which, as even your definition states, asm.js clearly is.
Angular and Backbone are very different. Angular is a full framework; it's brilliant but also gets in my way on a regular basis. It may take me longer to write the same app in Backbone but it's a library and happily…
Given Mozilla's goals for Firefox OS can you explain how these web technologies are anything but the best option? If you think that Java, C# or Objective C would have been better choices you've misunderstood what…
"when good developers are driven away by a lousy technology stack". This fear of JavaScript and a web stack says a lot more about you than the technologies. There are a huge number of good developers creating great…
You just need to add an additional line such as, "I've used product x and it's a brilliant alternative" or "I develop product x and would love your feedback" or "I'm the CTO of..."
You've made the mistake of finding a rule that works in a particular environment and trying to apply it in all situations. The HN community is nothing like the financial industry. Applying that level of cynicism to all…
