Interesting view on how Apple is managed very differently, and can be because their finances are so healthy.

Of course it disproportionately affects black kids nationwide.

It certainly feels like a realignment is overdue, but that's been said for all long while now and hasn't happened. I wouldn't have traced the connection as far back, but it makes sense.

Very much concur. Even though he probably won't win, staying in is good for the direction of the country.

I pretty much concur, although this is a bit fannish.

It's always surprisingly bad, because I kid myself into thinking it must be rare because I don't see it.

"United Airlines is also toying with the jet bridge space with a project designed to inject sensory experiences into jet ways in the form of music, visual branding and scents." Well that makes a terrible experience all the more horrifying.

I concur, and I hope more people emphasize this security risk.

It must be the case that movies like this, or shows like 24, shift what we think of as normal or politically acceptable. It's entertainment but it also changes our thinking.

Terrifying. We need to act.

Huh! I kinda assumed everything on base was just taken care of.

I didn't realize how badly they screwed up.

It does feel like a party alignment is overdue, I just don't like that one is explicitly racist.

Good points overall about the nature of big economies. I think the regulatory mix is too high in some areas (allowing for capture) and too low in others (negative externalities aren't priced in).

Pretty good take.

I figured it was bad, but had no idea how bad.

Good technical summary; still a lot of unknowns about Apple's security model that they'll probably never publish.

Very interesting that Christie endorsement came down to personality.

Sometimes their find/replace articles work really well.

This sounds like mostly El Niño, but a Dust Bowl disaster in progress.

Boom.

I concur with conclusion that reasonable Republicans need to hold their nose and vote for Clinton.

This echoes something I've seen about how many engineers in the last were inspired to make Star Trek real.

I have a lot of complaints about Taibbi's style, but the core points of the press abdicating and private fortune allowing Trump to go full populist are interesting.

Mocks the style well I think while getting at a broader point about needs.

This is probably the biggest risk of a challenge.

This is a great piece on gate keeping and how embracing stereotypes rooted in toxic masculinity weakens geek culture by excluding novices and people who don't fit the mold.

I think this nails it: absolutism on encryption because any weakness means you might as well not have encrypted. In fact it's worse because you think it's secure when it isn't.

The all-freelance future doesn't sound so great.
