Not sure about the tax dodge, but more about the Dad loaning him $20K and getting something from the investment. I think a lot of people just do "DBA's" and think "I'll just cash that as an alias DBA..." -- th

```Yes, it turns out that one of those pieces of paper I signed without question had sold 90% of the shares of Hit Media Inc to his company.``` Not buying this... His father should have told him that he was taking ownership of his company f

I was also thinking the same thing. I also think that the prior person wanting to SSH into their docker instance hasn't quite grasped that you can already do that. I'm not sure what the value of this is.

We have BINGO. WikiLeaks is a GRU agent that's been in business to gain the trust and confidence of the United States citizen.. they did this for years. Then once they got the trust and confidence, they turned into an Anti-US democra

He tried to brute force password hack with Chelsea Manning. Worked with her directly -- to me, that's pretty much a clear and cut case of "hacking". Regardless of the attempt was successful or not.

He tried to help Chelsea Manning brute force hack passwords on government computers. He's also suspected of being and taking part as Gucifer 2.0. I don't think people can call a person a "journalist" who fronts as one

The author took a bit of a pot shot at NodeJS (which I do understand why). But I think it's a bit naive to think NodeJS is any more complicated of a stack or problematic as a whole than Ruby -- it's simply not. As someone that&#

I would argue that Facebook's work had little impact on the "scalability" of PHP. I don't see people adopting HipHop (HHVM) in huge numbers. The problem with PHP was it's standards body wasn't doing a good jo

Hard to argue anything other than using React (or Vue) on the frontend with a Node.JS / Express / GraphQL Apollo Server back end. To me that's the "go to" at the moment and I love Python and really think Elixir is a

Am I missing something. Or did the definition change when Sessions appointed Uttam Dhillon? Why are we not surprised and why is this even open for debate?

You described the early part of my career in software to a T. I worked for a mini-computer company in the 1980's that ported Oracle (I'm thinking the version stamp was 22.1 when I was there from 1986-1990). It was one GIANT mess

I've done many startups and I have to say I love it, but the struggle to fund it properly (to it right) is what turns me off. I'd rather bootstrap myself (these days) and go the "indie hacker" route and not have to deal

people give Jobs and Gates a lot of credit because they focused on commercial products that were marketed to the public -- Linus, for me, is probably the single most important person to technology (software) in the last 35 years. With Linu

"The candidates must be between 18 and 30 years of age (18 - 45 in Silicon Valley).[14] No previous diploma is required." Age discrimination at its best. Cap it at 45? How many people over 30 (45 in the US) are trying to retool
