Apple's attitude towards, and stewardship of, my privacy is worth a very serious markup to me personally. Doesn't hurt that the products are so good too.
In the book, which I'd recommend if you enjoyed the concepts surrounding digitized consciousness, the subplot with the traumatized daughter serves to introduce a pretty pivotal character/plot point.

Have you tried the built-in titlebar setting in Customize? There's an option at the bottom to turn on the regular system titlebar so that it displays as a normal window.
Well, for instance, some amount of power to bargain for better treatment and basic protections, like say a healthy/safe workplace where you don't have to worry about being harassed by a superior and then ignored by HR.
Right now, companies like Uber can treat workers poorly -- apparently at a policy/organizational level even -- because the only thing they feel they have to fear is a bit of bad PR. No one has these workers' backs. HR is concerned with protecting the company. And the workers likely don't have the time, money nor stamina to fight a huge corporation with a lawsuit.
That's why workers need to band together to look out for one another. The deck is already stacked against them.
A few months ago, I threw together a simple tool to control the playback speed of HTML5 video on sites that don't have a speed setting like Youtube.
It has turned out to be pretty useful for me, and I use it constantly to quickly consume content on sites all over the web. It even works on Netflix, if you're interested in watching movies in a fraction of the time!
I figured others might find it useful too, so I cleaned it up, made a little website, and put it out there. I'd love to hear any feedback y'all have!
No irony intended, I'm afraid! The goal of the site, which was a weekend project back in 2010, was to make a compelling advertisement for Nethack without relying on lots of illustrations.
It's great design work, and you should be proud of it. However, the reasons for why I play games are not well served by Nethack, I'm afraid, so the advertisement doesn't work on me.
I use browser plugins to block ads and third-party trackers on all of my devices. I'm also a web developer, and I regularly set up Google Analytics accounts for my clients.
I agree that the proliferation of tracker blocking could be an issue for smaller publishers and businesses in the near future. But as a privacy-conscious internet user, I'm excited about the vacuum this might leave for better self-hosted options.
After many years of freelancing, I've recently opened up a small creative consultancy called Pepck. We specialize in working with small businesses (including other agencies) through a variety of marketing, design, and web development projects.
I am currently looking for freelancers of all shapes and sizes (designers, front-end developers, copywriters, and others!) to join my network.
If you're a reliable freelancer with even a modicum of talent and you're interested in helping small businesses grow & succeed, drop me a line at ryan@pepck.com.
Very cool, best of luck! If you haven't already, I'd recommend posting to the Austin Digital Jobs group on Facebook. I'd give you the link if Facebook wasn't down, at the moment. ;) It's probably also worth posting to the Austin on Rails jobs list: http://lists.austinonrails.org/listinfo.cgi/jobs-austinonrai...
Buses are what really punches a hole in the idea that these lanes hurt the poor. By letting buses skip traffic, they are actually more likely to help the poor.
