I used to do contract pentesting for a big fortune 500 company, and they were able to cut all kinds of security corners because they knew people would perceive them as the victim. The person running our contract at the company said that th

As others have noted, NSA isn't in Bethesda, and those mugs, along with keychains and tshirts, are available in the gift shop. Also, there's a 0% chance that the NSA would call him up afterwords to let him know that everything wo

That's what I thought too, then I saw my company use an H1B to fill a junior web developer job at 70k in the DC/Metro area, which is basically the area's going rate for a 0 experience, straight out of college software develop

A Google presentation titled "The Good Censor" was recently leaked where they talk about how themselves, Twitter, and Facebook, should censor free speach. They say that they want to move to a "European model" where civi

What you're saying makes sense, and I don't think anybody would disagree that having a diverse PoV on a project would be beneficial. In practice though, organizations saying that they strive for diversity normally don't both

FWIW, I've only ever heard Blood Money used the way it's used in the article. The first entry in the Merriam-Webster dictionary says "money obtained at the cost of another's life", the secondary definition is resti

I think the two main considerations are the large number of countries that make up NATO allow it to seem very effective on paper, but in reality it'd be very difficult to coordinate the contributions of every country, especially consid

If it's anything like the info released by reddit, most of their posts were anti-Trump in left-wing subs in order to try and create animosity between pro and anti Trump users.

It's lacking a lot of the hardware support that Linux has. I wanted to try it out a year or 2 ago and it isn't compatible with any of the 4-5 desktops and laptops I have, but common Linux distros install on all of them with no is

You replied to a comment saying that people should pay cash, someone says that they don't carry around cash, so now you're moving the goalposts and saying the person is privileged and doesn't know how to press the "No Ti

Me neither. It reminds me of a post I saw a while ago where a Google employee was super excited to announce the redesign of their salad emoji. The only difference was that they removed the hard boiled egg from the emoji because they said

MongDB submitted their license for approval, so obviously it matters to them. Whether you think it matters or not is irrelevant, you're just some random HN user with no bearing on what society decides open source is or isn't.

That also conflicts with people's expectations of games to be constantly updated and patched. Valve added a built-in custom game creator for Dota 2, but game designers still run into issues since any breaking changes in Dota 2 can pot

"white male" isn't a culture. I don't know if you're aware, but not every white male is the same, they come from diverse backgrounds just like every other race and gender.

Stuff like this is pretty common in the military. When I was stationed at Camp Lejeune NC, my wife worked as a reporter for a local paper. One of her assignments was interviewing people at a town hall style meeting regarding chemicals in

Yeah, I don't think racial diversity counts for the trust issue. Obviously there are some people that won't trust someone based on their race, but it seems like most groups are willing to accept anyone as long as they follow cult

What you posted doesn't say they turned down job offers, it says they weren't going to interview at Google. Realistically, the only risk to them is if a company goes out of their way to look for that pledge during the hiring proc
