Someone probably did, and the person they told didn't take it any farther. The chain broke somewhere.

This is a result of LEAs not adjusting to the modern world. Policing city streets and physical locations is nothing like policing technology. LEAs don't see a difference between a lock on a door and a cryptographic lock on a cellphone. They can get a warrant to unlock the door, or worse just kick it in. Even if they did get a warrant to unlock a phone, if there is no key they cannot "kick" the door in (unless the use some other exploits), so they are demanding a key to every lock.

There are programs in the failing coal towns to teach former coal miners how to code. I'm not sure the stats on the success rate though.

How is something like Californium priced if it's bought on a national scale?

I don't have that luxury at work :/

Twitch spun out of Justin.tv and then they killed Justin.tv :(

What happened to Tom's Hardware? This webpage takes forever to load all the ads and things.

I miss the Justin.Tv days. Made a lot of friends there.

This is my weekend project this week, ha. I'm reading Checklist Manifesto and decided there wasn't any good app for it. I'll post back here when it's done.

I have little knowledge on what Dread Pirate Roberts actually did but I cannot imagine spending the rest of my life in jail.

This weekend I was driving a route I've driven many times before but I use maps to save some time in case of a delay on the road (it's a ~4 hour drive). Google Maps told me to get off the interstate and take a different route through state highways. The issue is is that it told everyone to do this, so this unsuspecting small town exit got a ton of traffic and congestion, defeating the purpose of saving me time.

I live in a capitol city of a US State and Google Maps is pretty good, I've reported a large amount of changes to streets and stuff in a number of different States, rural and not, and they've almost all gotten published within an hour of me reporting the error.

One day brother, one day.

I used to use Wunderlist because it had a GREAT widget on Android. Then I switched to Evernote when I got an iPhone. Now I'm in a hybrid of real pen and paper and Evernote. Eventually I feel I will go 100% pen and paper. I use Pocket for saving things on the web that I want to come back to.

I've found that because I work with computer SO much that I need something analog to bypass that resistance to using a screen after a long day on computers. I have two notebooks. One strictly for work that I treat like an Engineers Notebook, 1-page a day, date at the top, sign off when the page is done, etc. The other I use for personal stuff and usually is just a to-do list.

I think it's a side effect of becoming so well known in a short amount of time.

If the goal is to not draw attention, attaching a bunch of flashing LEDs to yourself is not a good idea.

Everyday walking to work I see scooters knocked over and in disrepair. I live in the midwest and we're leaving winter and going into the rain season here and most of these scooters are pretty beat up by now.

Open that webpage and get attacked by three different modals.

What exactly about this is fake news?

Real hero.

TeamSpeak 3 has a great mod for the Arma 3 series that allows use of positional audio along with virtual radios.

He means that why take small steps (such as eliminating greeters) and instead do every cost saving strategy possible much like Pepsi Co is doing now [1]

I was going through my Pocket to-read list and came across the AMA for the guy who wrote Metro 2033 and they were discussing this book. Now it appears here. Guess someone or something wants me to read this.

This is privatization of the web.

How did Google get in charge of this? Why did they get to set the price points for registering these domains? ICANN really sold out for this one.

Except it's not, Google has price ranges for registration dates. So if you wanted to registered today (Feb 19th) that's gonna cost you $11,500, but if you want to wait until it's free, that's 10 days from now.

I don't really see the point of changing the DNS settings to watch YouTube, either way Google will know what you're watching. I know the Chromecast can do other casting but I assume those services (Netflix, Hulu, etc) are using more than just DNS queries as well to see what you watch. And if you're casting local media then no DNS goes out at all.

What you give up (your dna) and what you get back (ancestry data of a dubious validity) doesn’t seem worth it to me.
