The FBI claims that the valuable information is that Farook did not have communication with others, because there is no evidence that he communicated with a third party using his work device. From my perspective, this adds very little. We a

I wonder if this is related at all to the Altera acquisition, and how many of those employees will be affected. Intel had to give up a lot of cash, and take on quite a few redundant employees…

This sounds to me like the "uncanny valley" of music. It's close to being pleasant, but it's very discordant and hard to listen to…

It may be true, but to me the parent comment came across as smug and condescending, and didn't really have anything to contribute to the conversation. Your comment, on the other hand, provided some more insight into why this might no

I always hear "this is an isolated case" when events like this come up. Truth is, it's not just an isolated incident. Similar events have happened multiple times on Southwest Airlines alone . Here's a Guardian article f

Rigidity and consistency are not always bad things. They can help prevent bugs, security vulnerabilities, and they drastically reduce complexity of implementation. JSON might often be too rigid, but I think it's important to note that
