Oh look, it's Jam Echelon Day again. https://www.google.com/search?q=jam+echelon+day

No offense to Thomas Jefferson but a government that is afraid of its own people is a pretty peculiar definition of "liberty."

> No one knows what food is healthy and what food isn't.

I don't know about "healthy" food, but I'm pretty certain that Cap'n'Crunch Oops All Berries! (which contains 50% sugar and—oops—no berries whatsoever) is the opposite of that.

Better labeling is nice, but I'd rather have a law that says that breakfast cereals should contain at least 50% of cereals.

Your comment gives me the impression that you have misread the article (or not read at all) or that you were replying to another comment.

IOW, it seems you're reacting to something that's not there.

Then you must really hate that it's written in the style of the raging rant of a League of Legends player who's just lost a game.

It's a very interesting idea, but in the end it's a moderately-sized number that's light gray over a dark gray background... It seems hard enough to read that the kid would have to stare at the ad.

I concur and I'll add that they have assembled similar "evidence" about several people already.

As much as I like WebP, the numbers given in this article are misleading. The original image is indeed 52 kb. If you like optimizing PNGs, you can recompress it (losslessly, obviously) to ~49 kb. Now the same image in WebP is 35 kb, not 11 kb. The only way for WebP to make it a 11 kb image is to compress it in lossy mode.

Granted, even at 11 kb the image looks really good and there are no visible artifacts but when you put the original image and the lossy version side-by-side, you can see that some tones are slightly off and gradients/shades are slightly different.

What you are saying is that the problem is that people assume that radio shows fact-check their claims and don't actively try to deceive their audience.

Gonna end up in debacle, like that "Enhance your PHPness" tshirt.

named that? Which part? I think you're perceiving things that are not there.

Occam's razor doesn't point towards the hypothesis of all of the corporate accounts being hacked and none of the employees reporting it.

I don't know why anyone would believe it could be a hack hours after it was posted and nobody in the company reacted to it.

How do you explain that nobody working there is talking about being hacked? Do you think everybody there was using the same password for their Twitter accounts, Facebook, etc...

Most of the feeds I read are HTML excerpts with a link to the full article, or notifications with a link to a page. It makes perfect sense to read them within a browser, as I do in Opera.

I'm surprised that Opera isn't getting more love.

That seems about as notable as being paid in Turkish lira or in watermelons. Anyone can take their salary in local currency and exchange it for something else. There's little incentive to lock part of your salary in a foreign(?) currency when they "use the daily exchange rate of the payday."

Tried compressing the minified jQuery, got:

  32653 gzip -9
  31763 7z -tgzip -si -mx=9 -mfb=258 -mpass=16
  31691 zopfli -i1000

IOW, it yields a much smaller benefit as data gets harder to compress. Of course this is not at all surprising.

Are there people out there who can read this and not think that this person is mental?

I can't see a difference between this conspiracy theory and all the others: chemtrails, fluoride, mind control, FEMA camps, Time Cube.

You're the one comparing them.

From the same author as "Obama's shotgun photo: Fake or for real?"

I'm sorry but while I was very interested about finding an explanation about the alleged acquisition (of ammos), the second I realize this is an opinion piece and the author likes to veer in conspiracists territory, I have to treat him as an unreliable source and check everything that's written from reliable sources. IOW, I have to rewrite his article for myself.

So yeah, I would have loved to find whether there's something fishy about DHS's current ammo that they had to replace it, or if they have reasons to believe that the price of ammo is going to flare up, etc... But once I realize this is an opinion piece from a potential conspiracy theorist, phrases such as "...shoot every American 5 times" take another implied meaning.

As someone who's unfamiliar with none of the original song or either of the covers, it took me until 2:25 to figure out when it alternated between the songs.

Weak article. Inflammatory content easily debunked. I don't recommend reading.

I just picked whichever looked better and got 18/20. Failed on Crate&Barrel and Mattel.

And how did that work out for him by the way? I head they've dropped their lawsuit?

Also, if DDoS is "destructive" then copying a file is stealing.

From what I read, they're pretty good indeed. Time magazine's "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" article @ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Fishman/time-behar.html

And if a pro-Scientology adverticle wasn't enough, every page has at the top "A Wonderful New Book About Scientology, By a Wonderful WriterJeffrey Goldberg". I'm sure this other article is totally not related to the sponsored content.

Nice try, anal-probing aliens, but you can't fool me. I'm onto you.

I have a bash alias for `git commit -a -mWIP` in my fuckit branch.

When I read about that kind of backdoors it makes me wonder how nobody ever ends up in prison for it.

Since we're not citing any source, I'll say that population X is at least Y% of the industry.
