smokedoutraideron Human rights activist risks prison over refusal to disclose password to police

Cage is a terrorist sympathizing group, and this asshole is an enabler. I hope he spends time in jail and is forces to give up his passwords before being released.

smokedoutraideron Google Talk Is Being Discontinued

It seems like Google is constantly trying to simplify and streamline everything for developers and giving a big middle finger to the users.

smokedoutraideron Update on HTML5 Video for Netflix

I use Chrome because it doesn't look and feel like a dated browser with substandard performance. It is up to Mozilla to modernize and improve their browser in order for me to care about them and not the other way around.

smokedoutraideron Shame on Y Combinator

No shame on Marcos, Pao, and anyone else taking a this stupid stance against those who disagree with them. Supporting Trump is perfectly fine, as is supporting Clinton.

smokedoutraideron Machine Learning and Ketosis

A couple a years ago I did keto for 8 months. During that time I lost 31 kg. While this diet was amazing for losing weight it really affected my concentration negatively, to the point where I was forced to drop the diet because it was simply interfering with my performance at work. It's a real shame though, as I've never been able to find a diet as easy and effective since.
