He's storing private data that can geolocate people (mac address + exact geolocation + timestamp)

I think we can all sympathise with that sentiment, regardless of our sex :P

Hating an ex is a misogynistic act? Surely some women also hate their exes?

That's a problem with social networks at large. At least before the stupid or degenerate were ashamed of themselves. Now everybody can find a circus of freaks to belong to, which makes them believe their behaviour to be appropriate.

Which one of those psychological associations would have the balls to go against the flow if they felt like it was necessary?

Am I reading this well? Is he claiming Google search code is not using version control at all?

Is taking our freedoms sine die the best solution, though?

And don't forget that all of this was ruled illegal a year later. All fines reimbursed, but who gives us back the time that was stolen from us?

In my country you are removed and fined if you are seen indoors or outdoors where you can't keep a distance without a mask.
It's when I read comments like yours that I feel so jealous of the US. You don't even know what living where I am is like. For you it's like a place that couldn't possibly exist. :P

The post renders completely and correctly and is promptly replaced by a 500 error that is probably fake. Modern web development is hilarious.

How original, another expert commentary that says China will eventually stop growing because it's not a liberal democracy :')

It's reverse engineered using IDA and such. I think even the class/functions names are the same since the developer forgot to strip one of the binaries.
As much as I support this kind of project, I would say they are legally screwed. But they already knew that when they started.

I wonder if one could express a complex ranking algorithm in, say, yaml
Or maybe send the entire list of links of the day to the client and sort it using JavaScript provided by the user

Plug and go. And then they tangle. And then the weight of the cable pulls your ears down constantly. And then you have a string of cable all day dangling below your shirt that sometimes gets stuck on things. Thanks but no thanks. Humanity has moved on.

Maybe I'm just young, but I really like the simplicity of wireless headphones. No wires.

This reminds me of the story of kiwi farms and how expensive and mentally taxing for the founder it's been to keep it online.
