Wait but what if the founder believes that long hours do in fact get you ahead? What if that is part of what they actually did to get where they are today? Should they lie about it?

I think this is the generally accepted and obvious view, but there seems to be a push from several popular personalities to virtue signal against it in the name of better working conditions. In the process they are accusing startup founders

I agree and regarding 3) would you put most startup founders into this bucket? In reading Peter Thiel Zero to One I was struck by his point that real power law focus in a startup means you're doing something new, thus "The Search&

Reading location via GPS is passive with no outbound data transmission. As Apple explained, in line with the Apple engineer's prior response, there is a reason why this is not a privacy leak. It does not transmit the geo data off of th

For me this edit while writing habit developed in school because I didn't enjoy using a pencil and multiple drafts meant hand writing the entire paper over and over. For this reason I trained myself to make the first draft the final dr

I agree there’s a business here, but will walled gardens let the solution work optimally? Apple locks down their phone and messaging apis so that nobody can use them.

Can you imagine if this is just a bug and you're the engineer that caused it? I'm thinking it might be a bug because the emoji is still available on the system through other means.

Would love to see something like this done in augmented reality so you point it at a chess board and it gives you info about the game in progress.

Google makes the majority of its revenue by knowing things about their users and then allowing them to be targeted with ads. Google's plans being usually "obviously good" is a highly subjective opinion.

Google only scrapes sites that allow it by their robots.txt file so I don’t think their policy is as hypocritical as you are making it sound.

Not discounting this story, but I’d like to point out that raising concerns is a personal protective strategy for any cyber staff. If you constantly raise concerns that you know cannot or will not be resolved, you have created a paper trail

You're right of course, but I wonder if the status quo were to suddenly change so that banks are liable, would credit suddenly restrict and cause a recession or worse?

This chart looks like it's only through 2018. My hunch would be that Blockchain is down or flat thus far this year.

Can you explain who should notice the 100 million and won’t? I’m not following.

Alexa does not send data unless you say “Alexa”. This happens at a hardware level. This is confirmed by hardware schematics and by security researchers who have sifted through every piece of data that leaves the device. What you are saying

I have a coworker who uses a touchscreen and changed my view on this because she does not use just the touchpad or just the touch screen. She uses both at the same time with one hand on the touchpad and one pointing at the screen. I agree i

That’s a strange take on this. Not all staff are authorized to speak on the company’s behalf. That’s true almost anywhere I’ve worked. Your efforts cannot always be recognized externally. NDAs and various other types of contracts commonly o

Good idea but I don’t want to support the service in any way.

None of it because the idea does not work for a number of documented reasons. This is not the first time this has been tried.

It’s ridiculous — we get bitbounce account signups to our newsletter constantly only to request payment from us when we send them the email they requested . It’s beyond idiotic

We have a service that gets slammed by bitbounce messages requesting us to pay and I make sure to mark every single one as spam which shows why this won’t work. I can’t be the only one doing that.

That's really for a jury to decide. It's not circumstantial when they have his device finger printed doing nefarious things at other steps of the theft process for the same amounts of money that are coming out of a coin mixer.

I also feel there is something suspicious here. This thread is bombarded with one group people asking for citations of claims and another group of people refusing to provide anything but hearsay in response. Can we just see some facts in he
