If that was the absolute top priority of this country, what would America look like?

Yes, invading everyone's privacy and illegally searching them will catch more bad guys. I don't think anyone's arguing it won't. The point is, it's not worth the loss of freedom and privacy. The purpose of America i

It sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity, right? So no hits for 30 minutes means your app goes to sleep. Then the next hit will take longer while the dyno spins up before it returns.

Overall looks positive. Though it closes the loophole for "free" apps which were keeping their dynos alive by being pinged frequently; now free apps can only be awake 18 hours a day, and go to sleep after 30 minutes inactivity. Bu

There's not a lot of detail about the actual case. But to me based on what's there, it sounds like a recruiter reached out and told him "you would be a great candidate to come work at Google", which is kind of what recru

What makes you assume that?

"Dropbox sucks", with specific reasons why, is informative to me as a potential user. Not sure "so what?" is a reasonable test anyway. If you're snarky enough, couldn't you ask that about any article at all?

Let me guess: "too old" is five years older than whoever you ask, is.

I think that would be a joke.

I get how this works when I'm using a single device. But how do you identify that you're the same anonymous account when you switch from one device to another, without giving any personally identifying information?

Huh. Kinda looks like astroturfing.

From the article: "A note from Neil tucked inside the Pono box assures you that the Pono makes your music sound better no matter what headphones you connect to it."

A little frustrated that both the current top-level comments here seem to reflect someone not reading the article before commenting.

Maybe she's not 100% sure she correctly interpreted his actions. And there's a difference between turning down investment, and actually making an enemy out of him.

I always took "cultural fit" to mean stuff like, do you prefer to work only with Big Design Up Front, or are you cool with a more Agile process? Are you more comfortable at a big company, or a small one? Do you take yourself serio

Waze shows a lot more information than where police are. I don't see criminals relying on this heavily. It's not like every cop car is going to be in Waze and up-to-date or anything.

"Honestly 0.1 μSv is the headline figure. What is the full body accumulated figure? I'm going to guess as much as .30 μSv per scan." Should .30 be 3.0? Or...?

Have they lost anything when you do that, though? You weren't really a customer or user anymore anyway, and now they can figure that out. If they send out that email to 100 people, and 95 inactive users unsubscribe but 5 become active

Does it, though? How many people actually download and watch the leaked movie, and then go tell all their friends how bad it was? Would have to be a pretty big number to make a significant difference in ticket sales, right?

Sounds really scary. You should write up a PSA blog post about it.

A super-intelligent AI, that is, an AI far more intelligent than the most intelligent humans, may have motivations we can't possibly understand. Especially if the path to super-intelligent AI involves AI that can improve its own intell

I might be naive, I just feel like the HR department would be unlikely to shoot down a candidate for being too old. A big part of their job is making sure everything is at least documented enough to justify in court if it came to that. Reje

I loved the article. One note: not all retirement is necessarily sitting in front of the tv waiting to die. My grandfather is 81, and he and his wife are very active RVers. They travel around the country, hike, go four wheeling in their jee
