Also interesting that use Slack and apparently can't control someone inside from leaking said Slacks.

Even in the "Wild Wild West" most towns had laws regarding firearms. I can understand and support licenses that require training (though previously in Texas was minimal at best) and concealment, but open carry with almost zero res

My team and I were often the target for insane rewrite requests like this; I know this type of ridiculousness only too well. Sure you can succeed even under the most insane circumstances but that cost is not worth it for the people who are

Yes and people take advantage of that freedom to extract a terrible toll on society in lost privacy, freedom, money, terror and the like. There is no freedom for just the good people without also allowing freedom for those who prey on other

War always evolves to be more terrible than the last. I wonder if we will ever get to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Taste_of_Armageddon (Original Star Trek series).

I would find that highly likely, for some reason Activity Monitor is often flaky.

But at least gold has some inherent value, crypto is just math that is worth whatever the buyers/sellers think it should be. Stock in a company that stays in business will never go to zero as the company always has some value due to ha

At age 30 I worked 90 hr/s week for almost 5 months in my startup, then wound up in the hospital with the Flu. At my last job before retiring this year I worked 50 hrs/week minimum (sometimes 7 days a week for months in the past 5

Does deleted mean actually writing bits over the disk contents, or just put them in the trash? What constitutes legal deletion of binary data?

I had a Lisa 1 on my desk for a couple weeks in late 1983. Hard to imagine now how completely freaky it was at the time, the forerunner of all future graphical interfaces. The Object Pascal manual seemed like rocket science. All I wound up

When I was doing anti-cheat stuff for a game company I was able to leverage their attempts at avoiding being hacked by a third party who kept stealing their cheats and reselling them. Even criminals have criminals trying to steal from them.

Russia is also in Asia, but you rarely hear them called Asians. Indians are rarely lumped in either. Lumping dissimilar peoples together never made much sense to me - even Continents are arbitrary divisions.

Build a nuclear power plant in your backyard. Of course if you can master that, who needs bitcoin. The cheaper the electricity the more profitable the mining, but at the current cost it's almost pointless without access to a massive po

Missed patching on what, is my question. Windows, MacOS, Linux, routers, servers, networking, etc. - what exactly is being attacked? Sure you should patch everything, but clearly something is being attacked more than others.

Too many companies prefer to skimp on security since it has no apparent payoff until it's too late. What I want to know are the circumstances of the hack; how did it work, what systems did it affect, what security were they lacking. Sa

Yet people have been paying for groceries with checks in grocery stores for decades. I did some work for one of the companies that mine data from checks (20 yrs ago), it was amazing how much they could get from scanning the front of a piece

I prefer to code on a 27in display, the iPad it still too small. I know people who just use the MBP display but I never found Xcode usable on a small screen.

Why not just kill all the poor people then, or let them starve to death. Leave the land for Gates and Bezos and Musk, clearly they are worth more than me because they have more money. The value of a human is not measured by how much money t

Per capita is meaningless, the Vatican could pollute more but only has 500 people. I do not trust calculations of hard to measure items like the CO2 footprint of an entire country (which could easily be an order of magnitude worse or better

It's only a big issue if you try to advertise a specific item on a generic platform; but if you can target websites that cater to your specific business, you really don't need anything more. Of course it means ad networks lose out

If you read the article, they made deals to have people buy the product, give it 5 stars, and then reimbursed the buyer who got to keep the product.

I am sure he still has his shares, so he can do new things his own way. SV VC is a nasty business. I would love to work for someone like this, but since I just retired, not really a thing any more.

mRNA seems almost like a biological programming language; if you can determine how to build a protein that triggers the body's immune system to attack something you want to destroy it's just a matter of design and testing. I wonde

You are not. If Epic wins kiss free App Store apps goodbye as Apple will surely charge everyone to put things in their store. After all neither Walmart nor Amazon allows you to sell your products there and give them 0%. I see no economic di

Measures of death in India have always been hard even before the pandemic, most are not recorded. I highly doubt that the current death count in India is anywhere as low as the official number. In 1918 Spanish flu time, 5% of India died fro

Florida did better than 17 countries per deaths, but of course it's only a state. Not much to brag about. None of us here really believe any official state data either. A lot of people come to Florida, stay for a while, and then leave
