It's interesting to see how, over the years, service industry like that became dependant on user reviews on certain sites. About a week ago I was in a five-star hotel in Dubrovnik (Villa Dubrovnik, I absolutely recommend if anyone cares) that's had over 90 million Euros put into its new decor and stuff. That's some serious money. Yet, one of the first things guy told me there they are proud of their tripadvisor rating and, of all the things and ratings they have, that's probably the most important one to them.

These multi-national big corps have their nuts in hands of sites like these. Lots of potential for abuse, among great stuff for users of course.
They can only release information they have.

If they had the information, I'm sure they would release it - like they have in the past released information damaging to the Bush administration years ago.

Do you have evidence that they have information that they are suppressing?
Well, the guy is an admiral.
Obama and Elizabeth Warren Unfollow Hillary on Twitter
In theory this sounds good, but I'm afraid in practice, very quickly a market of a few giant "reputable" security companies would emerge, and it will include rather charlatans than people who really know what they are doing. In the end, it will look like rating agencies who were giving AAA left and right in 2008.

However, maybe a system like that would have improved at least the prevalence of the most glaring security holes.
Does interns/visa imply that you are happy to accept interns from other countries? I'm interested in applying but I'm studying engineering in the UK
Looks like the ad network I was using was being naughty and included popunders randomly (which hadn't been caught during testing). Removed now and should work fine.
Is the internship only for college students?
This looks like a glorified browser for games that are already playable on browser. It doesn't seem to be optimized for gaming at all (it even feels laggier). Is the purpose of it just to increase discoverability of Facebook games?

This is disappointing. When I read Facebook bought Gameroom.com a couple weeks ago, I expected something related to their VR platform. Not this.
Hi Brian,

I paid for Instapaper so that it could run in the interest of its users. If it's fully supported by Pinterest, then its value to users is secondary to the value of its data and technology to Pinterest.

Why can't I keep giving you money? I don't want any special features, just your undying loyalty.
SpriteClub: The Next Generation of MUGEN Betting
Hah, that's an entertaining idea!
A little late here, but the comment may be useful. I actively use both services (and Pinboard), but for different things. Pocket for me is "something is possibly interesting but I don't have time to work that out right now", Instapaper is a store of long form articles that I want to read (on tablet, Mac, phone or Kindle), and Pinboard is bookmarks.

The separation of concerns is useful for my mental model of what I intend to happen when I open each of these apps.
MacBook Pro 2016 Parody Ad
Is this the PC equivalent of Messenger, designed to give Facebook total access to your system?
It was just last Friday (I was there; awesome conference). Usually Confreaks gets them up in a couple of weeks; here's the URL where they'll appear: http://confreaks.tv/events/keeprubyweird2016
Very sad this isn't turning my room into a game.
Stellardrone is missing from your list: https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/ :)
It's just a status flag you can set on a bookmark. It's useful for saving stuff you want to pretend you're going to read, then will never look at again.
Sure, what does that have to do with the technical mistake of failing to plan for naming collisions?

What will be your next developer notebook (instead of MacBook Pro)?
MacBook Pro was a common choice for developers in the recent years, but there is a notable dissatisfaction with Apples new notebook models. So, what will (likely) be your next notebook for work? And with what OS?
Looks like it's game over for Microtransactions. Gamers hate them more and more
>It's f* insane to pay more than $400 per month to run a blog. No matter the traffic.

It's insane if your site isn't being monetized at all and downtime doesn't cost you anything. What you spend on infrastructure should be a formula of risk vs. reward taking into account availability vs. lost revenue for downtime or visitor bounce due to errors, speed, etc. Site owners will happily pay whatever the cost is as long as they are not losing sales and their net income is positive.
People struggle with this stuff a lot. This course looks really helpful.

Something a friend was battling with recently: how long after joining a company could/should someone start thinking about a raise?
I think best Sci-Fi books are like unicorn startups: exceptionally good at one aspect while chaotic in the others parts.

Poorly on making things readable, but really well on not going out of business or being bought by anyone.

>>Back in 2008 the average survival time of an unpatched internet facing XP box was around 4 minutes [0].

Yep. And that's just the average. It was much, much lower for high-value targets, such as universities. The first thing we did at my Network Security class back in 2006 was to hook up an unpatched XP machine to the Internet. It got pwned in about 30 seconds.
William Basinski "Watermusic II" is wonderful!
I'm really getting tired of Facebook et. al trying to insert themselves into every facet of my existence.

I'll keep using Steam and Gog. Steam is pretty bleh, but it does the job and I don't have to put up with Facebook.

We're funny as a species. In projects like infrastructure, political constraints end up being much more powerful than physical or engineering ones.
thanks for the link, purchased!
So, when will the WHATWG finally fix the HTML standards?

Get rid of all the backwards compatibility shit, and actually create strict, and simple standards, with no unexpected behaviour, that only parse valid documents, and where anyone can write an implementation?

Because that’s the definition of a standard.

That’s what a standard is supposed to be.

Standards, from paper standards to screws to fucking cucumber regulations are supposed to be more strict than what came before them, so anyone can easily accept only one type, and know it will work.

The WHATWG "standards" don’t fulfil the definition of standard in the least.

They are a strict superset of everything all implementers accept, making it a larger and more complicated mess with every single iteration.

So when will the WHATWG, as you say it’s now the legitimate standards body, do what it, as standards body is supposed to do, and deprecate currently used behaviour to replace it with stricter, simpler, standard behaviour?

Yes, that will break the web, but yes, it will also improve it.
