Not saying anything would say a lot. It would be enough to affect consumer confidence in that products are not being accessed by the NSA.

And what do you think an "unvetted startup" is? Who decides what is vetted and isn't?

Scripts are copyrighted. The dialog is just the script, so of course it's copyrighted. It doesn't matter how you sourced the script. If you thought crowd sourcing dialog was legal then you were simply wrong, and I'm sure ther

You only have a few short seconds to keep a user's attention. So optimally probably not to have anything that requires clicking or scrolling or is out of view or hard to read.

This random generator is found in some versions of Windows: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/12/dual_ec_drbg_a... I don't know if it's in Windows 8 or not.

The usefulness of the sense of community found in religious groups can be very powerful. People willing to help one another with things like taking care of children and elderly, having a group you can simply ask for help whenever there&#x27

The mental gymnastics between perceived value of what these individuals do and the actual value (and damage the strike is doing to the local economy) do not match. It doesn't matter if you think these people are just pushing buttons. B

Automation will not decrease the value that BART brings to the bay area and it will not eliminate all positions, it will simply concentrate that value in fewer individuals who could also demand high pay.

Comments here are disappointing. Pay is what employers are willing or need to pay to maintain skilled expertise. There's absolutely nothing wrong with collective bargaining driving up the price of the cost of employees. These salaries

Non-technical users do not even know what a browser is, much less anything about HTML or JavaScript.

I served in the military. I have nothing but respect and admiration for our service members and their sacrifice. But when it comes to liberty, a military life isn't one filled with it. I don't see what is rude about making this st

My opinion of GitHub's redesign from a user's point of view is that it has been difficult to adjust to the point it has made me angry and frustrated. The pull request UI change is a regression.

Nice find. I've run into some inexplicable garbage collection issues where canvas elements in an early version of flot ended up never getting released. I could figure out no way to clear these, but I remember the flot code made heavy u

Hrm I wonder what are the chances that someone at the NSA or doing contract work for the NSA has a buddy at a company and that person decides to use their NSA powers to get their buddy's competitor's emails from Google Apps and se

> Since companies can hire a programmer from India or Russia for 1/3 the cost of a US worker, that's what happens. This is illegal, so no, it's not what happens.

It seems like Snowden is purposefully leaking documents a little at a time in order to keep the story in the press. He may be trying to combat the short term memory of popular stories. It may be a viable strategy for getting enough attentio

Engineers use primarily IRC and collaborating with non-engineers is in a Hangout, although we'll use Hangouts too when just need to over something in detail over a short amount of time.

I hope selecting two options was ok. We use a combination of IRC and Google Hangouts.

I wonder if Erato is also just using the Ace editor as that preview on the side looks like a webview. If they did that's cool, but then this basically the same thing as Dillinger.

This is nice. I use Byword which doesn't have monospaced fonts for code blocks, but does the preview right in the editor. It's nice for non-code related markdown stuff.
