> Welcome to most jobs, ever, in every historical period and culture, ever since humans have had jobs distinct from whatever else they did with their lives.
Many jobs were probably quite fulfilling. A cobbler, for example, who produced a pair of shoes before this task could be automated or split Taylor-style.
"[...] it is just one of the many provocative ideas that he develops and then drops in the course of the book, which reads less like a structured argument than a long prose poem. Sloterdijk’s strength and appeal come from the intuitive and metaphorical quality of his thought, his unconventional approaches to familiar problems, his willingness to scandalize."
This sums up Sloterdijk pretty well. I highly recommend reading him.
This is fine, since you have the option to decide. For most people it's okay to store the key on Apples servers. You are still protected if your computer is lost/stolen, for example.
And if you want to be safe from the government, just select "No".
I don't get it. Why does it matter if your tool just decrypts SSL or you use a tool that decrypts SSL and additionally unpacks the binary representation of HTTP 2.0?

Please. All you need for advertising is plain text, all you need for tracking is cookies.
> I think it's pretty ludicrous that so many people are willing to let an advertising company basically re-write the way that every computer on the web
First, to call Google an advertising company makes no sense. It's a tech company. You don't call a newspaper an advertising company either.
Second, there were people involved in designing this, not just an anonymous corporation. You can actually see their names in the proposals. It's a good design, that's why it has been adopted.
Mexico is not part of South America. I agree about Chile. Uruguay is small, corrupt and almost controlled by the US.
I strongly disagree about Argentina and Brazil backing America. I'm not sure if you know much everyone hates the US in South America. And for good reasons: Just look at the history of the Americas in the 70s, 80s and even 90s.
I've lived in Bolivia for a year when Evo Morales was already president. I've also been to Venezuela.
Assuming the CIA won't try to actually abduct him there and Morales will stay in power, Bolivia is a perfect choice in many ways. Morales is totally trustworthy. The country is very safe and less militarized than Venezuela. Policy is somewhat more moderate, basically based on social democratic ideas as they are seen in Europe. There is a history of corruption, but this is mostly in the lower layers of government and police and elections are probably not affected.
Venezuela, however, can actually protect him once he is inside the country. Bolivia probably can't.
OS X 10.9 does show battery use per app in the Activity Monitor. It also shows a short list of battery-draining apps right in the battery menu at the top of the screen.
Not true. Just image: If he had closed Guantanamo, killed less supposed terrorists using drones, ensured Manning was not tortured. - I expect most of us (people overseas) would be mostly happy with him. It could have happened, even in America.
