A) Would you pay $5 a month for a secure service that allowed you to use all of your social media from one app, blocking advertising and trackers, and also changing your account passwords daily?
B) Would you pay $5 a month for a service that allowed you to download your data archives from websites to read in a legible and easy-to-read format, and selectively delete things e.g. delete history from June 2014-April 2016?
If you had to pick a service which you could use for free, which one would you pick?

dunno if anyone else does this but I made an agreement with some spiders by the door to my house. the deal was: they catch all the bugs as they come into my house, but under no circumstances were they allowed upstairs. in return, I wouldn't murder them or disturb their webs
this relationship flourished at first. I noticed plenty of dead bug bodies in their webs, and I hadn't seen a spider upstairs in weeks. the spiders just chilled in their webs, never moving an inch. I even greeted them as I entered and exited the house
this all changed one day. I walked into my office upstairs and lo and behold, there was a spider on the wall. I was enraged, they had violated the sovereignty of our agreement in their avarice for more bugs. I killed the upstairs spider with my shoe, and picked up our hoover

I'm building a security solution that's gonna be a miracle for developers who want to have Enterprise-level security without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's called Sindle, and you can get on the early access list by subscribing on our site:
sindle.io
It's a fantastic alternative to the likes of Sqreen, AlertLogic and Splunk. We're making the user experience incredibly simple, so easy in fact that we're confident anyone can use it, not just security analysts
As an addendum to the ease of use, users will be able to write their own rules. As an example, you can block non-organizational users from an admin panel, or flag users who made more than one purchase in an hour: with a single line of code.

I wasn't able to get this section in to my article in the Guardian, theguardian.com/commentisfree/…, but here's a list of hopefully China-free alternatives to any Blizzard games if you're looking to play something else. #BoycottBlizzard

Black or brownface is definitely in the top 3 for ways to cancel yourself
It's kind of strange, there was definitely a lot of brown/blackface in the 90s and early 2000s. Was it more acceptable then or was there just no social media so cancelling people was more difficult? Maybe as there was no social media many people just didn't know it was bad.
So I don't know, I would be torn on this. It seems like your intention doesn't matter at all, or the environment at the time. The list of things I learned from Twitter that I shouldn't say or do is much longer than it was even 10 years ago.

Worst thing about leaving cert results is the 1% of people who screw up school/college and still end up successful just use the day as an opportunity to do some serious humblebragging
Now I did screw up school/college and end up doing very well for myself, however I attribute 80-90% of that to pure luck and had several horrible, draining years where I tried to figure out what the hell I was going to do without proper qualifications.
With a good degree and good results I could have achieved the same thing (maybe better) without having a major early-life crisis which I wouldn't recommend to anyone...

It's a disgrace the government has zero plans on the legalization of even the most safe, risk-free recreational drug. That lobby organizations exist to campaign against this based off of rare side effects normally induced by a combination with alcohol.

thejournal.ie/legalising-can…
Where's the lobbying to outlaw alcohol? Alcohol can be linked to ~2.8 million deaths each year, 40% of all violent crimes are linked to alcohol, offenders are far more likely to be under the influence of alcohol than any other drug.
