I mean, VX was the subject of The Rock , a 90s-era thriller with Nick Cage and Sean Connery. Maybe people didn't realize it was real, but the knowledge was already out there.

Matrix[1] solves some of these issues, notably the archiving and native scrollback, and has a working IRC gateway. We're experimenting with it at our IRC network now. 1. http://matrix.org/

They aren't going to pay you. You're probably the subject of jokes he tells his friends. However, if they never paid you, it means that any code you've done remains your exclusive property (i.e. the company has no right to us

One thing I can think of is getting support from the "social media" arm of companies; if they believe you're an "influencer", you're likely to get white glove treatment (and may otherwise be ignored).

Generally I've heard the term "remedial" used.

One of the first comments on the link above mentions this as a potential exploit; they said they would watch for people attempting it and attempt to mitigate it if it becomes popular.

Sure, but if it got into a courtroom, the judge would probably be apt to rule in favor of the party that didn't write the contract, so I would guess that rather than invalidating the entire contract, they would strike that provision.

That sounds like it wasn't a contract in the first place. Doesn't it have to in some way bind both parties to be considered a contract? I would almost think that a lawyer would be able to convince a judge that that "contract

Google optimizes for new grads. To a certain extent, experience can actually make the interview process harder (because they will expect more of an experience candidate than a new grad).

HipChat has become an abomination of a client across Windows and Mac. Ha, try using it in Linux!

The last paragraph of the linked blog post mentions that it should be combined with an HDHP to cover things like hospitalizations.

Why get into an arms race when you control the battlefield?

If true, that would be a bit more disappointing. Can someone verify? Edit: Keep in mind I'm referring to developer mode installation per the link above, not directly installing the extension package from the store or a file.

At the risk of downvotes: Is anyone really surprised? AdNauseam is silently clicking ads. This directly costs Google money . Google happens to control the extension web store for their own browser. Removing it from the store really isn&

AdNauseam silently clicks the ads as you mention, so they're actively messing with Google's ad statistics. If I was Google, I would consider it an attack too.

FWIW I have been avoiding mobile games almost entirely since they all started going the freemium route, and I will definitely point my daughter toward non skinner box games (as well as never paying for consumable or "cheat" IAP).

Twitter did full client-side rendering and moved back to partial server-side rendering to reduce perceived latency. Pushing business logic to the client has a cost attached. Personally, I would default to server side rendering unless the

This is a really interesting idea. I would expand it further... OkCupid for employment. Outsource algorithmic and language knowledge measurement to something like TopCoder and add that as a potential dimension on which to match. Educatio

Per your last comment, you'd likely hit a three year or ten year bar. If they determine that you ever lied to them about anything, they can bar you from entering the country for life.

True story: Back when I was doing desktop tech support, downloading Ad Aware via command line FTP was a favored method of mine when the user's browser was so fucked by spyware that it was inoperative.

I am confused by this argument as it seems to be orthogonal to the point the GP was making, namely that coal does have a large impact on the global environment. Stating that China uses a lot of coal isn't exactly helping your case, c

Without the Medicaid expansion, they likely won't be able to afford any private insurance as well. The ultimate outcome is going to be uninsured people flooding the ER, who by law has to stabilize them. But maintenance drugs will be

They passed a reconciliation bill[1], which needed only a simple majority in both houses and is filibuster-proof. The only thing that stopped that bill from going through was a Presidential veto. The ACA is going to be repealed. 1. htt

I would imagine the problems they might have with this project is that it, I assume, calls private remote Google APIs -- which would by definition be an unlicensed use.

This is basically what I'm trying to do now. My entire career has been dominated by PHP thus far (though I've learned many other languages along the way). About a year and a half ago, I saw the writing on the wall and decided to

Probably 2 or higher at this point. We've made some real strides recently in getting everything documented somewhere.

Python is a good choice. I would argue that C, followed by C++, might have more applicability later on; a lot of languages are modeled on one of those two. They also are lower level and so give you a more in-depth understanding of how mem
