Saying that if people had a choice they'd go to college or get a job as a software developer is quite an assumption. There's nothing wrong with wanting to go to do something like a trade school. I've got some younger cousin

AFAIK we aren't doing that. Once you've been caught doing criminal activity, you pretty much have no chance of getting the security clearance required to do cyber work for the government. They're willing to overlook crimina

I don't know about not being available in all of Europe, but here's a story from the UK a few years ago where a baby had a rare, but easily fixable, heart condition. There were no doctors in the UK who could perform the surgery,

Would that ruling mean that sites could no longer refuse to show content based on how they're accessed? For example, sites that won't load if the browser is in headless mode, or sites that depend on javascript as a way of blockin

I saw a documentary where doctors snuck cameras into NK. The doctors were doing free cateract surgery for people, and it was really prevalent because of how malnourished they were. The people getting surgery kept praising Kim Jong Il for

The front page currently has articles about Finnish babies sleeping in cardboard boxes, and the benefits of sleeping with a weighted blanket. Just because there isn't something you can try, doesn't mean it's not interesting.

"Hot" is meaningless in this context. People take "hot" showers and it turns their skin red, it doesn't cause serious burns that require surgery. You can absolutely blame someone else if the coffee you spilled on

You should look up the origin of that quote. Not only is it paraphrasing part of a story and not an actual quote, but it's referring to people that voted to enact communist policies and ended up poor, instead of creating a society whe

I doubt it. My grandparents and inlaws both live in rural towns, and I think they'd rather have the hospital close down than have to pay more taxes. I know the news likes to show people from rural towns that want the government to pr

Since dropbox keeps the synced config files on your computer, the only issue you would run into is if you accidentally delete the files on one computer and dropbox deletes the files off all of your other computers. I've been using Bor

Same. I've seen them starting to use Amazon branded vans more often now, but occasionally still get deliveries from people in jeans and a tshirt driving an old sedan.

Technically any member of congress can declassify information. If they talk about classified information while they have the floor (I think that's the term), then it becomes part of the public record. They probably won't get muc

That seems really irresponsible, the car would be very hard to see if you approach it from the rear at night, especially if the driver installs covers over the brake lights to make them darker. A few years ago where I live in the USA there

If everyone agrees with each other, then yeah, a large population is better. But when you've got a ton of people it's harder to find a solution that everyone likes. It's like the difference between two people trying to deci

It's just a perception because of what is shown on the news. The "vaccines cause autism" idea was first started by a UK doctor.

That was my experience creating a small Qt web site archiver/spidering tool. Most of my experience is in Rust, and it was easier to learn a little bit of C++ than it was to try and figure out the binding generators required to avoid C

They'd probably prefer targeted advertising, but if they have to choose between too many or too few people seeing their ad, they'd probably pick too many.

It was a priviledge escalation. An attacker could go from running as a compromised user to running with system priviledges.

I definitely agree with the part about long commutes. Between the drive to work and having to put on work clothes, brush my hair, etc, it's about 1.5-2 hours out of my day that is completely wasted when I can't work from home. I

The article says these aren't the worst case scenarios. >this is the most realistic assessment of what the public face with no deal. These are likely, basic, reasonable scenarios — not the worst case."

The article mentions that you have to turn it on, so I'm guess it has an external power source, like a rechargable battery.

Yeah, I don't doubt the reports about it. I was just commenting about how "we actually have an open door policy" doesn't necessarily mean that the employees are brainwashed into thinking that having basic rights is some

That could also be interpreted as a response to the people who talk about the warehouse workers like they're slave labor with zero rights. It's like saying "Believe it or not, we actually have an open door policy and can tal

The problem is that people may stop making sites that tell you the airspeed of an unladed swallow if Google's snippets mean that they never get any visitors on their site. Then Google search won't be able to help you because ther

Most of the non-compete agreements I've seen cover side work that uses knowledge specific to your job because they don't want you to create a tailored application that allows you to take their clients.

Sure, a highly skilled player can beat a less skilled player regardless of deck, but at similar skill levels, the player with the better cards is going to win. If cards couldn't give you an advantage, they'd all be the same price

Yeah, it's been fixed a couple of times, but future updates would occasionally cause a regression. There was someone who had been paid for multiple vulnerabilities though HackerOne, but was upset that they didn't get paid for thi

I'm not suprised at the response they got when they reported the vulnerability. Somebody reported an XSS vulnerability in the Dota 2 UI, and they wouldn't fix it. So (probably the reporter) created a worm in the client that spre
