Pandora will pause the music if it detects you muted your phone (it tells you this, not a hypothesis) so I always mute it and up the volume one bar. This way I still cant hear it but it is not technically muted.

You dont even have to take it literally. I learned from Asop's fables and I acknoledge animals can't talk. What I got from Noah's ark wasnt that God is a genocidal maniac or he loves us all very much, but that if you know what needs to be done, do it and don't care what others think.

Re:Show HN: Chrome extension to add random hash to email addresses

Op really cool idea. One issue and two questions:
Issue:if someone got a password list, they clean it up by removing anything between the + and the @ so it dosent add too much protection
Question1:if I get an email from someone addressed to a hashed address, could I easily figure out who I gave that email to?
Question2: will you be porting to Firefox?

Except this what separated them from the competition. It would be like if Apple confessed iOS was Android with different graphics. Also Snapchat can mine your data without keeping your pictures forever and ever.

No, Snapchat said they get deleted from their servers after 30 days, and that was after law enforcement got their panties in a knot. Unless youre saying Snapchat is lying about that.

I read that these were going to be used for cargo in hard to reach places. However, if there is a need for alot of cargo then an airport usually already exists, and drones would probabally be more economical for smaller packages. Other than that? I think niche cruises like in that one episode of Archer.

Start a subreddit. Try to get as many people in your community to migrate before the 17th.

So Amazon starts paying wages that even Bernie Sanders deems fair and you arent happy. What do they have to do, cure cancer?

They should just do gambling like predictit. Sell contracts for a Buck a piece and only return .90 (or some other fraction). If big analyst come in and buys one way or another the casino doesn't care.
Re:Gatekeepers or Censors? How Tech Manages Online Speech

But the upvote/downvote solves this issue when these voices hit the frontpage. for example r/the_Donald always complained that when their posts make the front page Reddit would"lower their score". what was happening was it was reaching the people outside their safespace who downvoted it to oblivion. OTOH the Bangladesh students didn't see this issue because people on reddit tend to agree with them.

Tl/Dr: The ACLU will be asked to defend people that they disagree with. Heres what to do in that situation
1. Make sure the case has merit and is worth the time (no violence-with a pretty low bar no direct threats and no carrying weapons, is it winnable,is there an ally that can do a better job etc.)
2. Set up a meeting with the relevant internal group to make a battle plan (eg defend a Klan member, talk with civil rights department)
3. Give resources to conflicted department (eg use restitution from above to fund a civil rights campaign)
4. Inform everyone we disagree with what the client says, but we defend his right to say it.

He`s literary throwing homemade pharmaceuticals like they are candy. These drugs have side effects. They probabally haven't been tested for impurities. If someone took them they could have gotten seriously hurt. I like their ideas though(especially the DIY epi pen).
