> Muldoon didn’t respond to a question about why the ads were able to violate Google’s policy. I thought it was obvious by now that Google is a money train, and no one is watching the tracks. Their main distinctions as a Fortune 500 comp

Using Firefox on Linux, it detected all the apps (very few of which I have) except Skype (correct, I don't have it). Security through obscurity does it again!

Getting an accurate portrait of Canada as a whole is very difficult, as healthcare is a provincial responsibility. As a Canadian however, it would not surprise me if most of the people traveling were upper class people trying to bypass the

I assume you're thinking of blockchain tech? How do you think the genie will be put back in the bottle?

I don't get what you're trying to say. Of course people like the taste, but why pretend to eat meat? We all know it's not the same. I'd rather have a real version of something I like than a fake version of something I

As a vegetarian, I really don't get why people are so focused on realistic meat replacement. Like, there are other things to eat. I especially don't get why people want the texture of red meat like beef patties. So you like... s

This guy works in ad tech and this is the extent of their moral reasoning on the issue? This is about one argument and 90% history. Better to say you don't want to think about how the sausage is made. Many have commented on the inher

Judging solely from the outside, Google seems to believe that anything that can't be automated isn't worth doing. On the one hand I understand that their target markets are composed of billions of people. On the other hand, it&#x2

I can't disagree with much of what you're saying, and still as a Canadian there is no realistic amount of money that could incentivize me to move to the US. For Montreal, the French thing is largely true, meaning you would general

I grew up dirt poor and I think money is overrated. Not for the cases which the page describes though, that's total nonsense bordering on fetishization.

This is possibly the worst implementation of a terrible idea.

They are pretty much unacceptable according to 2017 NIST standards, and pretty much impossible to use correctly in the banks' use case.

This is largely because managers don't understand just how in demand people are in tech. They think you are replaceable, until you quit, then they realize the market is insane and they have to increase their offer significantly. At lea

I'm unsure if you're saying I'm coming from a deontological viewpoint (I'm not), I'm assuming you are a utilitarian, as you said. Remaining in a utilitarian paradigm, I hardly think societies with slavery maximized

I have a hard time imagining anyone commenting about the moral implications of the article would be unaware of the difference between deontological and utilitarian ethics. Personally, I find your defense of the idea betrays a naive view of

Pocket seems to be the only menu item visible by default, and they've adopted the idea of searching on Google from the URL bar. Is Mozilla short on cash again?

Depends how long it takes to train a replacement, how short on staff you are, and how many people would apply for the job on short notice. But I tend to agree with the comment suggesting it was probably to avoid legal action.

I can't deny that this is plausible (in general I mean, not just your specific experience). So what makes our professions so different?

SaaS CI is valuable because it's not seen as something a programmer could easily make by themselves, unlike the vast majority of SaaS offerings, a lot of which are more marketing than code (not that that's a bad thing, but don&#x2
