eeky is suggesting that, if there is a gap between male worker output/male worker pay and female worker output/female worker pay (which I'm unqualified to make a comment on), someone would arbitrage this gap to make an enormo

"No 2FA. If the only option available is SMS or call-based authentication, do not use 2FA." I see no problem with password + SMS or password + phone. The big problem is that some companies think that their second factor overrides

I don't see how this could be. Uninsured motorist protection for my wife is $22/6 months and $19/6 months for me (older car). Compare that to $130 and $120 for liability. It would seem that I am much more likely to run into s

I've read that people have had success doing line-by-line conversions of Python scripts to Go scripts without too much reworking. I am guessing that it is the similar level of model and library granularity that drives the comparison.

I don't get the fascination with MD5 cracking speeds. If you use different passwords for each site, a 7 character lowercase password would take 10 years to exhaust the password-space if a site limits you to 20 attempts per second. As long a

I don't think it makes sense to correct for inflation given that the $7.57/AAPL price was in 2003 dollars and the $216,678 is in 2013 dollars.

Be careful if you are in the habit of using environment variables to specify API keys or database passwords. One of my top commands is `FACEBOOK_SECRET=...`.

The difference is that a 2048x1536 display would generally just offer 4x the screen space whereas Retina and other high density screens display the same page scaled up 2x. "Make Your Website Retina-Ready!" is like saying "Make Your Website

Technically adept or not, his human-based recommender was so good that the CEO and VP of a 'hugely funded' online music company were willing to fly all the way from SV to NYC to hear about it.

Second note: Make it time delayed (set statically to something like 2 weeks from compile time). Then, when they use the script in development it works, but in 1-2 weeks it breaks in their production site. Otherwise, they will just find out
