You seem to care about this a lot more, and I'm honestly ignorant about these issues. But I'd just add that nearly every casual computer user is running some unwanted extension, toolbar, DNS hijacker, or worse. For whatever reason, it seems like this shit software ends up on a lot of computers through extensions

Wouldn't Google's decision this help to eliminate that problem?

This just completely ruins LastPass as an enterprise product, which seems to be a major revenue stream for them. (Unless LP enterprise allows admins the option to globally disable these insecure "features".)

Ok, I apparently have a lot of time on my hands right now. No, it's completely non-standard to place quotes around just one word from an original source. Also, context is everything.

Try both Tokyo and San Diego, plus consumer electronics. With well over 8000 employees, you will be calling 911 quite a lot. Perhaps notify the police of your complete insanity.

I completely agree with you, but the action was violent, or at least scary to the people on the bus. Plenty of marginalized people have managed to assert their dignity without intentionally scaring people. My main point, however, was simply that the tax bracket of these passengers has no bearing on whether the protest was acceptable.

I hope that you include a link to your hacker news profile on your resume in order to help employers like me to avoid hiring you.

What assumption did I make about your politics? You wear your politics loudly enough so as to preclude any need for assumption. Why have you characterized me as a dangerous criminal? I just very simply do not suffer fools or borderline racists.

I'm glad that you'd fit in with the European socialists, but your thinking is just so remarkably confused that it's comical. Actually, this strongly qualifies you to be a European socialist, replete with broken populist social initiatives and all, so good on you.

Well the taxes don't have to do with anything. Nobody deserves to have their daily commute violently disrupted.

What in the hell are you talking about? Who have I attacked? None of the people in this thread are my "most important political allies". Did you people read "political debate and logical fallacies for dummies"?

How does "fuck you and your dreadlocks" do anything to help people? Should I use that next time I'm volunteering at the soup kitchen? Really, there must be no hope for American politics, because this is probably the most idiotic exchange I'll have today.

I presume you have made some assumptions about me, like perhaps I helped to attack this bus? That's funny stuff.

Reddit is leaking.

It's as if you are auditioning for the Glenn Beck show. That's probably where you belong

edit: Since when is political vitriol acceptable for HN? If I wanted to hear bullshit political rants with gems like "traditional blacks" or "fuck you and your dreadlocks", then I'd turn on Fox News or MSNBC. Seriously, traditional blacks with weasely scare quotes? That comment could not be less informative, disingenuous, or falsely provocative. It's like reading something by a slightly racist college freshman.

Everyone seems to neglect the importance of good data collection techniques. This is the main distinction. Good and well-planned data requires nothing more than munging and basic averages for actionable results.

And it's a complete distraction from legitimate environmental concerns.

When you run a company, you just assume that your competitors know the pay structure. It's trivially easy information to discover (through interviews).
