This is essentially me. My wife and her family are religious and go to church every Sunday, but when I tried going with her earlier in our relationship, I felt like a fraud (as I'm an agnostic). I liked that they did good things for

I use VoIP.ms for my landline, and I've just set up a their free IVR to block telemarketers very easily: It plays a recording telling the caller to dial 1 to ring our phones. Very effective, since bots won't parse it. (I've c

The forfeiture is completely separate from any criminal investigation; in fact, it's possible for a forfeiture to occur in the complete absence of any criminal charges.

I've tried it a couple of times... it introduced a fair bit of lag that I didn't see with other solutions. Not sure why.

I bought Komodo 9 fairly recently, soon enough that they gave me a free license to 10. My situation is a little unique though: - 99% of my development is done through a remote connection, almost always SFTP, as opposed to local - Most of it

Cynical alternative: The job is meant exclusively for H1B candidates, and the posting is just so they can say they had no qualified locals.

You used to be able to buy blocks of public addresses from ARIN (and I guess you still can[0] but only under special circumstances[1]) but the IPv4 public assignment table is essentially full. You could buy blocks in class A (i.e you would

FWIW I painlessly transferred five domains away from Gandi (ironically, to Namecheap), and I was never prompted for anything like a scan of my passport.

Unless you were Director / VP / C-level or above, I wouldn't expect to see anything.

For most programming jobs, high school algebra (and then really only for the concept of variables). Add trigonometry and potentially calculus for 3D graphics, game development, and high finance quant stuff.

You are getting taken advantage of. 10% equity while not taking any salary isn't fair in any circumstances I can fathom unless the company is already profitable.

The FBI's backup in this case to Apple agreeing to work with them might just be to force Apple to disclose their signing key for iOS disk images, which could potentially be worse since it would enable the FBI and not Apple to control o

I was thinking this as well. This is a problem with a well-defined schema. Why would you use a schemaless NoSQL database? Additionally, many of the bitwise operations used by the old school dev have analogous abstractions in SQL, which a

Parse is a great provider for push notifications, having only really gone down once in the time we've used it (and also being, well, free). I didn't use any other part of the system because we had our own databases and whatnot, bu

The problem with biometrics is the inability to change them if need be. So what's to prevent someone from recording your voice (potentially under duress) and using that to authenticate in the future? I won't be using this, espec

Has anyone here had phantom stock options? I would love to see more details on how they tend to work, and if they have actually paid off for people.

How much equity would you be getting? I wouldn't consider it for less than a double digit percentage.

For what it's worth, I have talked to doctors who want single payer just as much as some of us.

As someone who will soon be a new parent, how important do you think this "aura of infallibility" is? Obviously you want to reassure your kid whenever possible, but do they need to think that you're essentially always right?

In this case, I would either want the NYPD to control access to their own database more effectively (which is perfectly within their power) or I would want the law to be written much more narrowly, so it couldn't apply to "typic

We use SVG all over the place, but then we have the great privilege of being able to tell our clients to only use modern browsers. It's pretty nice to be able to specify one graphic for use at all pixel densities that never gets blurr
