Putting their sensitive traffic in the hands of Cloudflare without giving users any choice.


It has an option to turn off anonymous statistical data. If this works then I'm okay with it, if not, someone please let me know.


Well, the option is actually to turn in on. By default, Ghostery does not collect anything.


It's off by default. I've made the informed choice to opt in because I read their blog and understand how they work and I like the product. There could be no less offensive way of collecting data.


Why does every website use broken unicode box character font import style now?


You're seeing that because you've somehow disabled custom fonts. Same thing happens sometimes on the web when you disable javascript.


Do you use Firefox?


I ask this because Firefox can have problems loading custom fonts, especially cross domain.


Correct horse battery staple?


`The presumption by internet companies and others that they can use peoples personal information in any way they see fit is wrong, and can only happen because the legal framework in most states is still in the last century when it comes to property rights in personal information.`


The irony here is that in order to be able to get people forgotten, companies will need to do a much better job at knowing what information belongs to whom (build an identity) so it can be forgotten. The problem also becomes, people who share names etc... and by extension should we be destroying news papers from decades ago? I believe many are archived in libraries and be used for the same kind of research, albeit less convenient, of information that has not been forgotten...


freeslugs did you make this? If not, why are you tagging it "Show HN"?


I've used the Py2 csv module with csv files containing accented characters and had no issues. Could you post an example?

This works fine, as does the corresponding writer:

    reader = csv.reader(open(FILENAME, 'rb'))
    for row in reader:
        print row
If you want a unicode string it's as simple as:

    value = row[0].decode('utf8')
Then before writing:

    row[0] = value.encode('utf8')


I can confirm it's probably enabled by default, every network I see these days is spammed by Dropbox broadcast messages.


Are there any issues you suspect Syncthing could suffer from?


I would buy this if it had a front facing camera.


How's it going?


Still not working. It seems to compile, but I don't know what to do with the black screen that the client gives. Compile errors are googleable, but I don't feel like digging into code in some language that I have never used. I wouldn't know how to do console.log nor where to read the console log.
