Really nice, though the 'my marks' and 'tags' boxes don't load for me, meking it impossible to find back my cute little efforts at office procrastination :(
Truth and accuracy aside, why would her experience not be the center piece? I think the personal experience of 'everyday citizens' is enormously important in understanding issues of privacy and (self-)censorship. In…
... because the government is one person, unable of accomplishing multiple tasks at the same time?
Nobody is claiming all news is objective. I also think that the constant claims about 'msm' 'ignoring' important stories is annoying, incorrect and in fact distracting from the proper discussion to be had. There is in…
The Telegraaf has had a pretty public beef with the intelligence agencies over source protection and phone taps. They're actually quite decent when it comes to investigative news into the police, justice and the AIVD.
You need an NSA and CIA simply by virtue of the fact that every other country has one. Secrecy is also an essential part of negotiations - you can't reach middle ground if all your concessions are made public. There's a…
That is not a mere thought, it is an actual thing called UKUSA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukusa
Nothing was 'given up'. Something was traded. European intelligence agencies regularly 'launder' intercepts through foreign governments ('hey NSA, we'll trade you some info, if you can get us some info on one of our…
Paxman's 'grilling' is as much an opportunity as it is a challenge to the interviewee. Dismissing it as an obnoxious, premeditated takedown underestimates Paxman's skill and as an interviewer. It's also a well known…
You misunderstood the argument. Finland has a merit-based system just like Singapore. And Singapore has, just like Finland, made a concerted effort to provide equal access to education to all its citizens. The argument…
Finland has a very quirky school system, it's nigh impossible to apply in other countries. It's also a matter of a concerted PR effort - the paper reality often looks better than what actually happens in schools. While…
The "working class" has absolutely no choice in this matter, so blaming it on them by saying 'they need to realize x or y' is quite besides the point. Skill sets and education are largely besides the point too. While it…
I personally feel the US has been doing a rather good job. I also like that a free and open internet is in the US' interest - the de-facto 'control' over the internet by the US gives it enormous amounts of soft and…
Imagine this in a country with a lot of bike traffic... 10 ~ 20 flashy green bikes on the road would decrease safety, not increase it.
Perhaps your idea of knowledge is limited.Communication skills? Dealing with people different from yourself? Dealing with people you actively dislike? Conflict resolution? Dealing with a power hierarchy? Learning how to…
Woz: Strawberry is more banana than apple
You do need language skills for the marketing :)
I won't make the horrors accessible. It will merely serve as a live propaganda feed mediating and obscuring the suffering happening on the ground.
That's not facebook's fault. You just handled it incompetently. The way you brought it up would turn anybody off, facebook or no facebook
Far too much work. The whole point of a facebook event is to be rid of the organizational administration and to be able to discover events your friends go to / invite you to in a central place.
The dependency on IE is also a result of Korean coders/designers relying on the quirks and bugs and specificities of IE6 for their websites. Even when it comes to non-e-commerce sites, many (most?) sites won't function…
Ribbonfarm has an interesting counterpoint, based on a speech by Bruce Sterling, that essentially promotes buying 'the best' in a very limited amount of cases, and buying cheap in all other cases, with some actually…
It would be an interesting experiment to have a random selection of citizens formulate a hypothetical new constitution.
Pagination can in fact increase reading time. Most readers never finish an article. In fact, most readers drop out after the second paragraph. Not because the articles are shit, but because people have a short attention…
