Do we know why bankers chose green instead of yellow for their eye shades? I know they wore them due to eye strain, but why green and not something else?

Oh I agree. I think it will never happen. But as a data point, Facebook has the option to add it: https://www.facebook.com/notes/protect-the-graph/securing-em... So, it's not too far fetched.

What I don't understand is why these kind of "ride sharing" services don't do more to protect their drivers (I almost said "employees"). Salesmen in the same company who work on commission generally parcel out

It'd be pretty neat to give a bank your public PGP key and then they could send you encrypted emails with more details.

I believe you can change to the new format (still not ed25519 though). After generating your keypair in the AWS console, do "ssh-keygen -p -o -f aws.pem" and add a strong passphrase generated from a password manager.

This isn't public info in some cases though. Airline sky clubs charge a fee and one of the benefits is their wifi (note that on the map, these aren't just airports, but airline sky clubs). That's like you coming to my house,

The phrase "don't be evil" is obviously open to interpretation when it comes to issues like these. Most of us agree on a common moral standard since we have conscience (don't murder people, don't steal from people,

A lot of STEM PhD's are transitioning into data science in industry. It seems you have a lot of CS background as well, so "data engineer" might also be a role you should look into. Also, you say you have no experience working

Yeah, that's the GNU coding standard. Changelog is for developers and bug hunters to see changes to the source. Version control probably takes the place of that now. NEWS is for "user-visible changes worth mentioning". https

You don't throw out your entire purse because it has cigarettes in it. Throw out the cigarettes and keep the purse. Uninstall the addictive apps and keep the smartphone if you want it for its utility.

But it sounds like you identified and solved the problem without throwing out your smart phone completely.

Why I'm Using a Smart Phone I've thought about this, but I've realized it's not the phone but specific websites/apps that can be time-consuming addictions. I have no social media accounts on my phone, so that seems

My bank actually orders transactions to make it so that I avoid the overdraft fees. If I get paid one day and also make a debit that would overdraft my account if the payment didn't clear first, they will place the payment first then t

They said they wanted someone "new" not someone "younger". He actually "retired" in 2001, eight years before this incident. He was only doing freelance spots on the BBC until the 2009 slip up, so he didn't

Originally the State governments directly chose their Senators. So you had a house for the States and a house for the People. The 17th Amendment brought about the situation we have today.

I think the complaint about the Senate having a different makeup than the House begs the question - why even have two houses in Congress? The original Constitution had State governments choose their Senators and the House was the "Peop

yaourt sources the PKGBUILD before it allows you to review it, which is why it is considered unsafe.

What if you're an law enforcement agent and do your job ethically (refuse unethical orders, etc.)? Or what if you're pressured by your supervisor to do things that unethical and know that the consequence of not doing those things

I am actually going through this right now. I'm in a position that renews yearly. I'm a regular employee but it's the way this kind of position works (I'm being a little vague on purpose to avoid personal identification)

One spouse does the super commute and the other works closer to home/school or maybe not at all. Otherwise you're having to hire sitters, caretakers, etc.

The author does briefly mention this, but the countdown clocks are not every accurate. I often see a wait time of "3 min" and then it's there in the next 10 seconds. Or you can see the opposite where it just hangs on "3

I only skimmed the article, because it wasn't readily apparent to me what advantage all this code provides over using git (maybe with bash) to backup Github and GitLab repositories.

The EU has jurisdiction over EU citizens, even those outside of the EU (see US citizens and taxes). But I question how the EU would have jurisdiction on anyone who is outside of the EU and does all their business outside of the EU, even wit

I set my VPN to an EU server and it seems to work. I wonder if this will be one of the new "privacy tips" for Americans from now on.

Poland was a Soviet satellite state, so I'm guessing "post-Soviet" here means "post-Soviet controlled" vs. being an official member of the Soviet Union.

I don't think they mean the Penn Station subway stop but at Penn Station itself. I can't recall if there was classical music when I was taking the train. Definitely do have classical music at the Port Authority Bus Terminal though
