Long before WWW this problem was addressed with licensed stock images. It's a commercial project, not significantly transformative, and wouldn't be worth arguing fair use over. The practice of downloading a random image from the

I see a lot of anti-facebook sentiment here as if they are some sort of evil censor that prevents people from communicating. On the contrary, all facebook does is connect people. What we're seeing here is the result of rising political

Facebook shouldn't be used to replace social interactions, it should be used to augment them. It is easy to make facebook bad, and that's a problem, but its a problem that all social sites have. If you go to a message board and t

I know several high functioning alcoholics in the tech industry. I honestly don't have a clue how anybody does it. None of them are on upward trajectories or even seem to care about work in a real sense. They care enough to get the w

It seems a bit naive to think that a service provider would scrub their systems on individual requests. It's not practical to perform a delete in some environments. It's certainly not practical to go through backup files and de

Oh please. It's man with no parameters for one minute and the exit code is perfectly fine. There's humor all over every technical discipline. Lighten up. The question isn't believable. Your position is hardly believable.

Volvo has promised to sell uber cars. That's pretty much the gist of it. Uber got a fleet quote, attached the words self-driving car to it, then issued a press release. Volvo's part in the self-driving car is that their cars meet

It's ridiculous to think that regulation is any sort of solution. It's even more ridiculous for somebody to suggest that in 2017 when we have such shining examples of altruistic heads of regulatory agencies. (Ajit Pai, Scott Pru

Someone married with 4 children at $200,000/year earns a net pay of $10611.48 in California with a 5% deduction for retirement. If they worked at Tesla and lived in Palo Alto, they would need a 5 bedroom house. That's an $8,000&#

Most people, even well paid engineers, live paycheck to paycheck. Sizable companies take a month to bring in a new employee in the best case. Most hiring managers are skeptical of people fired in a mass "underperformance" firing.

I get that. If there's a layoff or a re-org going on, getting it all done at once is better. The idea of losing poor performers on an annual basis is the one I cannot get behind. I am perfectly fine with the idea that someone who isn

2% turnover over the course of a year might not seem high. Firing 2% of your workforce in a single day is.

I'm not a fan of this style of management at all. I won't knowingly go to work for a company that behaves in this manner. I've read that Netflix does it, and I've seen inferences that they acquired the practice from Di

I find this funny coming from the originator of ZeroMQ. When I firt tried out ZMQ it took me all of 12 seconds to figure out that if you didn't pass exactly the message that it was expecting, it crashed the server. That problem along

It seems pretty simple. PVPN keeps logs of when end users connect. Google keeps logs of which IPs access accounts. Google discloses that the victims account was accessed by a set of IPs. Those IPs are known to belong to PureVPN. A list

I also decided against another macbook. Apple quite obviously sees the notebook market as secondary. I don't blame them. i-device sales far outpace notebook sales. But not everybody feels that way. I can get a pretty damn impressive

Seems like there's a place in the market for a crowd funded campaign that does the opposite - brings people together.

Quick follow-up. If you look at front-end web development toolkits these days, it's a good example of why there is a need for someone with a solid general development background that has an interest in the field. I'm sure a lot o

Not sure if it was something that I was linked to here on HN, but I read an article recently that showed the average worker is productive for 3 hours per day - and one of the most popular non-working activities is searching for another job.
