This is great though because things have moved on to the extent that you might now have 1000 people who qualify as neighbours, any number of whom you've never met and don't know.

So buses transmit data. So do cars, planes, satellites, the space station. One day someone talks about doing it from a balloon and years later, when someone manages to do it they stole something and must be punished?

I'm not justifying low salaries; i'm saying that $155,000 is plenty.

I just posted my opinion on an aspect of the post. (I don't care about down votes; if I could hide my scores I would.) I don't need to know anything about a companies culture to know what they're saying is patently specious n

I think you're going to get perfectly good developers for $150,000. Are you going to get twice as good ones if you pay twice that, or just greedy ones? Have transparency and let someone else pay the darlings. You'll still get your

"With our culture of bringing our whole selves to work and seeing team as family, with shared values we live by,..." It's moronic drivel, isn't it. Apart from being nonsensical (how can you bring less than your whole sel

Probably? Odd thing to say. If someone actually believed that they would quit rather than lay someone off.

Thank you for taking the trouble to find and post it, but I don't agree with hardly any of it. Facebook is free and so even if it were true that it would be of higher quality if there was a cost associated with it, i'm happy with

"You are blaming the victim" Odd way of phrasing it. It's more accurate to say "you're pointing out that they have put themselves at risk through a number of insecure practises". It's not so much blaming

I'm guessing they mean the sites. People blocking ads are just the same as people skipping through ads on a vhs recording of TV, or going to the toilet/making a drink when the ads are on. Nobody likes ads.

They are both exactly as bad as each other in this application but at least it's always possible to avoid a segfault.

I didn't read the question as "what if Google discontinues authenticator" but more as "what if I use Google authenticator on my phone and it gets stolen and i can't log in any more"

I'm already paying that? I would never opt into advertising like that were it available. Most of the sites on the internet can just die for all I care. I'd still do online banking, buy stuff from amazon, read news on the BBC&#x

Yeah, legally you're totally allowed to download stuff from websites.

Legally? Yes.

Amazingly, Firefox on Android is fine.

I block ads so perhaps one of the many "we owe it to site owners to not block ads" types can explain an alternative solution which doesn't involve me paying for stuff I don't want and which both slows my devices and drai

That's what I was thinking, although I don't think Google and Facebook are a problem as they can only provide slightly different choices from within a narrow range that people are already interested in. It's the relentess to

Heh! I typed "brazil" and got recommended "boys from brazil". Next I tried "being there" and got recommended "there will be blood". Everything about this needs a lot of work.

Plus nobody likes Microsoft or linked in. Microsoft makes stuff you only use because you're paid to, and LinkedIn is something you use because of its ubiquity and despite the phone calls you're going to receive at work by desperat

You've never worked with..uh... cheaper developers who've been on a course and need everything explained 4 times and have no common sense and sniff a lot but who claim to be great Java/c#/JavaScript developers? Happens a

Microsoft doesn't have that many products that they can't get someone 1) high enough up the tree that people will listen to their comments and 2) with ui experience/common sense to check them prior to any acquisition/maj

"Actually looking forward to MS's UX folk cleaning up LinkedIn." You buy the shades, and I'll get ready to search the registry for a lower case hack.

I don't think i picture it at all in the same way that synasthetes literally "see" other senses, but I do picture a year as a 2d row divided into rectangles. I don't see it as a circle because I see no connection betwee

Please try and find anyone who'd rather be lynched or beaten than have their racial group spoken of negatively.

An interesting observation. Obvious, on the face of it, but then you consider: what if they'd been shot in the little finger. Very unlikely to cause death (where prompt medical help is available). People have died from biting their n

I'm almost entirely ignorant on this topic but it sounds like you're suggesting this could be a thing, which is more than the other posters here are currently saying (although it's early days yet, with only a handful of comme

Why not? What's the cost? What's the benefit? I create new accounts for all sites I use, including hacker news, every year or so.

For sharing a few email addresses? $0 I'd imagine. It's not like its anything important like credentials for shopping/banking or other details which could be used in identify theft. Worst case scenario; google's spam fi

What would the authorities do to prevent these things, if they existed, from being loaded with explosives and driven into buildings? Even if the idea got off the ground and anyone (who could afford one) could start flying around, how many
