   If you can guess keys and secrets, you probably wouldn't use that power to invalidate them!

   Well, if you pay the ransom and fail to plug your security holes, you are a sucker.

   For $400 or even $2000? That's an awfully small payout for an enormous legal risk.

   I had the same thought, and I worried there would be more regret in the story. While it's not a (traditionally) happy story, I'm glad that wasn't the case. It's still a good reminder to pull the trigger on those things t

   It does feel like it's at an all-time high, yet also nowhere near its peak.

   I'm curious how that last part is possibly enforced.

   Seems like they share a playbook with newrelic actually. Such a terrible experience, don't make being a customer a pain in my ass.

    It really depends on the perspective. If we're considering this a zero-sum situation, we have to conclude that your situation is good for developers in general because it will cause all developer/engineer salaries to rise to meet

    Just because (some) employers are able to pay as many employees (possibly zero) as before, doesn't mean there are no jobs to be done. With so many social issues currently highlighted, it seems like an excellent time to give some time.

    Exactly. What's their goal with the new API? Will they continue to be hostile to Twitter app developers? Years ago, they made a distinct choice to become a business/celebrity platform, and actively moved away from the utility it c

    To be honest, it does feel cult-ish from the outside. But as some other commenters have pointed out, they have their reasons, ideally to remove bias from hiring process.

    I'm not sure what I can say other than, maybe I blacked out during my interviews, but I don't remember any interviewer at Amazon asking anything remotely straightforward about any of the LPs. Maybe it was the group I interviewed w

    Amazon is the king of assessing how much you want to work for the company. The recruiter will place a huge emphasis on nailing their Leadership Principles, and coming up with stories from your work to demonstrate you embody the Principles.

    I grew up with Top Gun, so I get excited thinking about dog fighting, but in the context of 2020 and cyber warfare, is there really much value in air combat? When is the last time two sides actually engaged fighter jets? I'm probably b

    Also important to not ignore the "reward" half of risk vs reward. Sure, I could never get in a car again and be loads safer, statistically. But am I really willing to give up that convenience? The real point is not taking unneces

    Compared to walmart.com, though, there's no reason to keep it. As a consumer, I don't really know/trust jet.com.

    Not surprising at all; people always say sex/porn has brought most of the advances of Internet technology (at least in the earlier days).

    This is anecdotal, but I've never seen more people out walking around town than the last couple months. Is there research showing people are more sedentary now?

    They're basically spam at this point. I'm just asking to not be cold-called. And I really have no desire to work for that type of company. Love it as a customer, but not my cup of office.

    Anybody know if it's possible to block Amazon recruiters on Linkedin? If not, I'm going to ask the next one to flag me in their system, if that's possible.

    So, the business then has the choice to use last year's profits to keep the business afloat or pay investors. Seems like an easy choice unless your only motivation is lining investor pockets.

    I took a quick look at the scale of the chart and assumed it was satire. The state of front end development is a major shit-show.

    Ima guess that most people that use a psssword manager generate a new, strong, unique password for each new service.
