I'm not defending the practice, but 'scanning for all executables', is false. 'Scans all folders related to chrome' is true. Title is flat out wrong.
Your post and post history is a great illustration of what I've talked about before here on ycombinator. Lots of your posts I can agree with, you're a reasonable individual. so why the huge blind spot when it comes to…
I really enjoy the high level of comments here generally, unless there's an article that paints a tech company in a negative light. It's the one time I can always count on a large number of apologists showing up to…
Man, I just don't think that 'the majority' of people are 'doing ok'. The majority of people are not sick. The current healthcare model only works for people who are healthy, if you have an extended hospital stay, or…
I can "tell" them. What a farce. Until the title reads "New Law Criminalizes Sale of Private Data Without Consent", this crazy train will never stop.
The most important information in this piece is the FCC making rules favoring the very telecoms they are supposed to be regulating. Not that anyone familiar with this administration (or that scumbag Pai) is surprised.
Perhaps because it is not banned currently. It is scheduled to be banned in 2022 by the EU parliament.
literally almost nothing he was talking about has anything to do with the differences between GMO and selective breeding, but it was a master-stroke of debate tactics for you to lead the discussion into that and away…
Financial opinion pieces are always a difficult read for me, as they always seem slanted in favor of the company and against any hint of regulations n such. This one seems to have a tone of "can google survive the big…
I hadn't really considered climbing Everest seriously, but now I know for sure that I won't. Waiting in line is bad enough at sea level
Considering they got busted for using refurbished parts in new machines, a lawyer might argue that the sticker was telling the truth! After all, what is already obsolete may never become obsolete.
well, I can't speak directly to your situation, but my comment is mostly hinging on my belief that all the mandatory meetings and 'just one more thing' emails we currently deal with would suddenly be less frequent if…
What I find sad about this (and other articles like this) is when the time comes within the article to lay out how to avoid burnout and stress, the list nevver includes ways to spend less time working. It's almost like…
I'm in agreement with you, and its refreshing to see that view expressed on this site. The guy shouldn't have to go so far to do what he wants with hardware that he purchased. We have come so far away from the old…
For a second I read your comment as liberal tears, and had to do a double-take. :) Speaking to the 500$ charge, are you saying that is a typical cost around the world for a MRI? Is there something about the machine's…
I agree with you in part, but in my opinion propaganda and lobbying are the problem because this is the source of the disconnect. When people got increased protections from the ACA, nobody complained. The insurance and…
It doesn't make sense, but you have to (as a patient) make sure that the provider you're getting healthcare from is covered by the insurance company's (changeable) list. Its indefensible but it's reality. I cannot wait…
When you're 40% through the piece and the author still hasn't gotten around to the point mentioned in the title, you've got yourself a badly written article. Don't waste your time. Author should have incubated this…
Heck, all they'd have to do is release the toolkit à la Bethesda. Allowing players to mod the game is the best thing that shop ever did. Skyrim has an avid following with player-made mods still trickling out to this…
Indeed, as a once-heavy Warcraft and WoW player I can confirm that Blizzards story writing is to be actively ignored, even mocked. Great games, terrible writing.
Ah, Dwarf fortress. I loved hearing the stories generated from it and resolved to learn to play it, but that resolve quickly faltered in the face of the interface and learning curve. Sometimes I think to myself "I…
ah, yes. I also never buy phones that dont have an easily swappable battery or an expansion slot. Since I started looking up drop rating videos my phones have lasted a lot longer too :) I've not personally had an issue…
I may be somewhat of an outlier, but I have been purchasing used phones since my first smart phone (a Galaxy S2). That was a manufacturer refurb from my provider. Since then I've branched out in to ebay and amazon…
autoplaying video, check. Pop up ad slow loading to make sure it pops up after i start reading, check. Empty, contentless "article", check. Yup, shit site, don't go folks.
This article was pretty bad. "Hot" labor market huh? isn't it mostly low income service jobs and degree required jobs that are "hot"? I wouldn't know from this article, because it chooses to ask questions rather than…
