That's true for a company with money for lawyers but not random private person. They will be mostly covered by their bank in case of fraud, but other than that, there's not much you can do. It's like burglary. I know first ha

It's the opposite. As a US citizen you have to be afraid of DC while Chinese citizens need to make sure they don't get on Beijing's radar and so on for each nation. It's a matter of under which jurisdiction you are and t

This most likely also collects call (meta) data about any phone called from Android and anyone calling a number terminating on an Android phone.

How much overhead is there that we can shave off to reduce latency until we really hit the limitations of speed of light? I mean, how much of the cross-continent latency is due to network gear or media changes (optical <-> electric) o

Agreed, having good editors is highly valuable.

Modules didn't make it in but are arguably top of the list of practical improvements for everyone and considering the time it will take to trickle down to toolchains and build scripts.

Given the online channels and on-demand-print, why would anyone release via a record label or book publisher? What's the advantage? Is it professional representation/management?

Reminds me of the Petraeus scandal where they communicated via unsent Gmail drafts in a shared account. EDIT: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petraeus_scandal Petraeus and Broadwell used fake names to create f

Because the occasions where I didn't get any closing responses have been with places that seemed to be unprofessional in the hiring process, I actually had an easier time dismissing those, especially after learning more about some of t

Having realized some discrepancies in my skillset, I would actually prefer honest but temporarily-demotivating feedback. If not, I'll start questioning more stuff than actually has been a deal breaker. Yes, it will be painful for a whi

That said, I have to learn to read people's questions better. In hindsight I believe some of the "let's go lunch with the CTO and these three people" setups are using a semi-informal chit-chat to fish for character incom

All I'm looking for is one of: - you didn't meet our (technical) expectations - we cannot meet your expectations - you're qualified but we cannot pay that much - you're generally qualified, but we need a Foo Expert today

Only happened to me once, but zero response is bad, yes. However, it's not much worse than the neutral "thanks, bye" you get all the time. It's hard to stay motivated when all the interviews go well, or so you think, unt

If only job interviews would also result in real feedback. These days, probably due to anti-discrimination laws, you never get a reason. It's always just "thanks for your time". That's all. You're left guessing what

I suppose Skype might work in a mobile browser via WebRTC, but from what I gather it's not there yet.

Is there a page to check what popular app does not work on F-Droid or Cyanogen? Say something like Nokia's mapping app.

Thanks for the suggestion. That one seems nice but too expensive for my use case. Since support cycles are abysmal, I'd like to get cheap devices and treat them almost as dispensable.

Definitely not since we've learned that (some) webpages send each keystroke while on the login page.

Related question: given how short supported update cycles for Android devices are, which of the sub 100EURO Android phones on AliExpress are a reasonable choice in terms of installing an Android fork? I'm eyeing a cheap phone because I

Is there an Android fork where this isn't a problem and which you could suggest?

Is it bad? Yes. Does this happen? Also yes. Maybe you're assuming that there isn't software which gets written and installed but only touched sporadically. Web services will be integrated in some web site and forgotten about. Some

What are examples of how a female expresses a thought vs a male? Genuinely curious, as this is the first time I heard about it.

Are you sure about the restriction in mobility for judges in Europe?

I know, but not all software is written and maintained such that this is enough to adapt. Whether that's good or bad is a different question.

I wrote "paid and free web services", so Parse would be a similar risk. To force someone to operate a paid service as long as you want it, you either need a really good contract or laws, but that's not a generally applicable

I would only use a Google, Microsoft, _whoever_ API if I was paid for integrating and maintaining it. I would never rely on such a thing in a personal project/venture. Time and again paid and free web services are getting shut down wit

The dupe detector needs to be improved so that submissions cannot be posted twice. It works when I try to submit something which just has been posted the same day, but there must be some logic that allows it to be reposted and also the URL

It should build with 1.0 since a recent update, but your other points are valid. That said, it's a PoC and kinda like a MVP. Granted this is from a domain expert, so the time it took Ralph Levien to code this is substantially shorter t
