Although you are correct that money I don't spend remains in my possession, I disagree that there is any morale obligation to spend as much as possible. Overconsumption is not a viable solution to many problems.

I fundamentally and vehemently disagree with you.

Definitely a pet peeve that so many software developers call themselves software engineers. I went to engineering school in Canada, and no longer wear my ring because the work I do is not engineering, it's development. I'm not try

Not too long ago I would have whole-heartedly agreed with you, but I've since accepted that my opinion on her was strongly swayed by social media (specifically on Reddit) campaigns lead by Russian entities. How much do the e-mails matt

Everything there might be true. Everything might also be false. It might be cheaper to start a business because PPI information will be handled properly from the start and not be a cost centre. This might increase new business viability. Ma

Most people don't die from food safety violations, they just have a really bad day. I would say this is equivalent to the harm done by something like the Equifax breach.

Interesting. Have you see "The Big Short"? Towards the end there's some scenes where banks aren't paying out on Credit Default Swaps (I think) even though the mortgages were failing. The movie didn't really touch on

True, it sounds like profiting from rising house prices is icing on the cake.

The article makes no assertion about the demographics of Fentanyl dealing or trafficking, just that these Chinese lenders are involved with these activities. Are you saying that the opioid crisis can be fully blamed on Chinese foreigners? I

It definitely gives me the feeling that the popular solution will be something xenophobic. Maybe there's hope for less knee-jerk reactions, like some regulations where when you lend money, the source of that money must be properly trac

The article makes it sound like an amazing cycle of selling drugs, money laundering, loan sharking, and profiting from the real estate rise.

That behaviour describes my biggest pet peeve with banks. I don't want product offers from you. You take my money, make money with it, and pay me interest (a whole < 1%). That's our relationship, fuck off with your "credit

I too wish you the best, sorry for coming across so aggressively.

No, I didn't find it offensive. And characterizing a suicide by someone who broke multiple laws, got rich doing so, and then being unwilling to face the laws as "tragic" is a bit disingenuous.

I'm far from an expert, but my guess is that the quote > "Windows provides multiple ways to do it," he said. But DLL hijacking isn't limited to Windows, he said -- noting that it can apply to Macs and Linux, too. is a

Reading your comment finally made it click to me why cryptocurrencies (specifically Bitcoin) are distinct from a gold bar or other non-currency stores of value. A gold bar is going to remain a gold bar forever, people's perception of i

In some respects this seems like a better application of blockchain than a lot of ICOs. On the other hand, it isn't clear how they're going to solve the oracle problem of deciding who has the canonical rights to a given photograph

But that's my point. Of course he deserved a payout if he reported a previously unknown vulnerability. What I'm saying is that he (appears to have) behaved in such toxic way (sow) that someone denied something he deserved (reap).

It looks like a "reap what you sow" situation. No one is looking good now.

Okay, so for the first 4 bug reports, I'm on Uber's side. In their Hackerone program details it says that one of the valid close states of a report is [1]: > duplicate -- a vulnerability that has previously been found either in

The cloud enables easier scaling, it's not a silver bullet. No matter what, scaling plans have a region where they break down, so it doesn't imply they aren't designed for good scaling.

I hear you. If I'm understanding you properly, you're just saying "Waymo has done some shady stuffy too" to establish that you're not a fanatical "yay Waymo boo Uber" person and are willing to see fault re
