IPV6 solves this, plus even without you don't need anything close to this amount of IPs to do what you're describing. It's a fairly niche case to need that many public IPs and it seems a little crazy to hold that many just in

I also had this happen at a company I worked at, so as the leader of the software team I had a secret meeting with them and told them going forward we would create fake burndown charts for the CTO. Totally worked. He never complained again.

Google cannot afford to lose time. It's in a technology race. I'm not saying this guy was worth it, but it's not impossible to imagine how they make decisions like that. Time is much more valuable to them than money.

This scenario is the same as any other machine learning environment: The output is prediction with a % confidence score. This means the threshold can be set such that worst case certain people need to be checked out by hand. Fallback to sta

It's not just enforcement that matters though. The threat of enforcement is far more common and has come up at every company I've worked for. That ends up creating a tense environment for employees in a similar way to how a crimin

This is great at this point because it's short and simple, but I could imagine this becoming terrifying in a few years if it does not remain in good hands. The natural thing to do is point out what could be added and pretty soon it cou

It does suck especially if agencies rehost the fonts and you end up downloading the same ones over and over. Hashed font caching solves this problem pretty well and that seems like the answer instead of forcing everyone to use a common set

I recently spoke at an event where we talked about the crossover of cryptocurrency and the law with a bunch of attorneys present. Many attorneys spoke up during the Q and A to remind everyone that at the end of the day the legality of anyth

If it were all about features that would be true. You could build a better facebook that could do cooler stuff than facebook and it would never overtake facebook. Not to mention it's not clear that features are the most important part

Isn't the entire Democratic viewpoint about augmenting the role of government in a number of places via government programs and regulation? I'm sure Democrats will pop up to tell me I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you cann

Best summary I've seen. There are two significant facts here that surprised me: 1. The double checkmark has security implications. How would a typical user know that? 2. Even if you are completely vigilant, follow best practices, etc,

I was recently in SF and I was surprised to find that Uber Pool cost was very similar to Bart cost going to and from SFO. Uber is certainly preferable to having everyone drive their own car. Talk about congestion. Why doesn't SF do wha

This is something I cannot understand about Google and I think definitely needs to change. Here's the absolutely great thing about customer support that Google hasn't grasped yet: You let your customers talk to you and in turn you

If this did pass I can imagine the number of rooted smart phones would skyrocket. There has never really been a compelling reason to root an iPhone, but I bet for a lot of people this would be it.

It's a fair point. Not all users are equal but I'm very unconvinced by this user's issue because there are a million little oddball use cases out there and Apple does not solve those for everyone. The only issue here is that

Part of how Microsoft got into a bad spot was refusing to end-of-life anything. The hardest choice in making products is what not to build and what to take away. Apple cannot maintain an infinite number of components, so I find this type of
