No. Argument ad homenium is not needed.

It's got nothing to do with the arrogance or competence of the builders. GUIs tend to suck at automation because of the assumption that each interface, when presented, shall be manipulated by a human. This assumption is a reasonable one, and destroys automation before you start - the best you can hope for is applying the presented default after a timeout period, which makes for exceptionally slow progress. Automation that needs constant human intervention is (and I'll be kind here) not automation.

I see no hypocrisy - the page was never intended to be static text with no records outside of access.log. Javascript is not presented as a bad idea, but a frequently used piledriver where paperweights normally suffice. The claw hammer on that page seems appropriate.

Driving down a particular road at a particular time does not constitute probable cause.

Go home and get some sleep. Come back when you''re ready to play.

If ever you have a future need to step out from the herd and speak against the elite in favour of justice or truth (or anything at all that said future elite don't like), that tracking provides myraid opportunities for your voice to be discredited if you show signs of getting any significant traction.
The thought police don't have to send helicopters. You have given them the remote controls for your suicide belt.

You're full of shit.
Most medicines are generally prescribed for one condition, so the pharmacist doesn't have to be any kind of clever to make a good guess what condition you've been diagnosed with. But it's still a guess. If your doctor is actually doing this, though, report them to the local college of physicians.

Forbidding people from signing contracts that both parties deem as mutually beneficial is wrong and destructive to the economy. After all, it is not the CEO's who own corporations, but the shareholders. As such, it is the shareholders who ultimately decide upon the pay of the CEO. If the owners of a company decide that it is in the company's best interest to entice the top executives with $x, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Contrary to popular belief, the only way this is possible in the long run, is if the executive actually brings that worth to the corporation. These sorts of laws will *not* bring up the wage of the workers just so that the executives can be paid more; after all, the most an employee can be paid without the company losing money is the discounted marginal value product that he or she brings to the company.

There's another way this is possible in the long run - don't pay the rank and file members what they're worth.

This is easy because the negotiating process between a corporation and a potential staffer is rarely an exchange between equals. The rank and file are most often absolutely not in a position to negotiate a fair wage or salary.

But now they're thinking about it. Thanks a lot, The Stranger.

Rogers (Republican, chair of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) and Rupersberger (democrat, member of same) have made such claims publicly.
You need to keep your facts straight if you want them to go to prison. Just because nobody took the assertions seriously doesn't mean they didn't say such a thing.

Further, social networks all have a backlog where previous posts can be viewed (particularly true with FB), thus a person still "transmits" a given piece of information indefinitely as other people view their wall going back far in time. Thus it is always possible for a "dark corner" of the "internet" to always catch up by seeing a piece of information in that way instead of only real-time.

You're so funny. Just try going back a week on facebook. I'll wait while you restart your browser a few times, waiting for the thrashing to stop. Oh, just pull the plug, it'll be faster.

Endless scrolling - the penultimate "fuck you" to a web page viewer. Tumblr does it too,* making a walk down memory lane potentially depend upon how much RAM you have.

* some users disable it, but it is the default that most go with.

It's run by the CIA. The NSA only monitors it.

Your nation already looks destroyed. Despite rampant criminality and indiscipline in the administration, the DoJ is deliberately remaining toothless on the matter, the judiciary is issuing no orders to rectify its oversight being ignored, and the legislators are largely following sponsor^Wparty lines instead of constituent wishes when drafting and voting on legislation. A revolution at this point could only create a nation.

"If you punish ordinary opposing views in debate you aren't committed to free speech. Prove me wrong."
Badly reasoned rhetoric deserves to be shut down. If it's presented as clear and cogent philosophy, a side dish of embarrasment is heartwarming.

Yet we have growing economic uncertainty and a shrinking middle class coincident with a period of unprecedented per capita productive capacity. Why is this so? The sound-bite answer is "concentration of wealth". The complete answer is incredibly complex [ snip ]

I disagree. The complete answer is, entrenched Capitalists want it that way. People who have concentrated wealth shall support any policy that maintains inequality, AND be able to put their money where their mouth is. Confusion arises only because they never openly mouth their actual motivations.

Absolutely true, but in this case each thing hated is backed up by at least one cogent post outlining the nature of the redesign's basic UI failures. Making content harder to discern (indenting of threads is de minimis) was what caught my eye. At first, I believed they'd thrown away threading.
Fixed-width text areas? That was a face palm in the 90s. This feels like a college course test - "Fix this website where the developers committed each of the ten fatal web design mistakes we discussed in class.
I've tried to find something to like about it, but there's nothing there.
