Honest question here: Why do the vast majority of people don't first quit their previous job, and then use the time to interview conveniently at many companies? That would allow this trial-week arrangement for most candidates, and that

Could you elaborate on that first statement? Would you really place more trust in the US government in these matters than, say, the government in one of the Nordic countries? Or Germany?

Hoped to find such a comment here, this is basically about mechanism design - how can we design an exchange that removes the additional profits such microscopically low latency generates, when the low latency itself isn't providing val

You're clearly very well informed on the subject, but could I question your last line: How do we know grains had little effect on life expectancy directly? Maybe it had a noticeable effect, that was cancelled by those other advances?

Completely agree. Also, we don't need to be very clear here - that's what sexual harassment laws are for. This isn't (only) a norm , this is a law , and although IANAL, it sounds like she has grounds to sue. Not only was

No, I certainly wouldn't. That doesn't make the answer clear, though. If your point is that Iranian and Belarusian dissidents need to be aware of the risk, I agree.

Yes, but I'm not sure that justifies the end conclusion: 1. Do we actually know Iran spends $500MM on vulnerability research? What about Belarus? 2. Suppose they do. So they have zero-day exploits, sure. IIUC, you need MITM capabilitie

Sounds like you tried to confront them with the argument that "investing another 1000$ in this guy's machine will change your bottom line in the millions". What did they say in response?

tptacek, I'm not sure I understand: do these new revelations really indicate indie developers don't have a fighting chance against Iran ? U.S. - absolutely, no fighting chance. China - chances look slim. Iran, Belarus - are you f

Sounds like she should write a blog post on the issue - it will probably be a very interesting read (totally serious here).

I see. Thanks for the clarification. I still find it troubling that there's no burden of proof to violating someone's privacy before the court (there also doesn't seem to be any guarantee that decrypting the partition before

So, if I'm getting this straight: if I'm an employer who's curious to know what's inside an encrypted partition on one of my contractors' laptops, I can simply call the police, say I suspect there's company d

Very well, maybe they're trying to kill Social Fixer because of their TOS. Right now, it seems like this will be the biggest exposure SF gets in its several years of existence, so not the best possible move... Advertisers didn't k

Could you please provide the common guidelines for placing a gag order? Surely, not every lawyer talking to the media and claiming his client is innocent receives one, so what's different here?

Wow, sounds rough, having to limit yourself to such a diet. If I may, have you considered experimenting with different macro nutrient compositions for your diet? Low-fat, low-carb?
