   We don't need better tech for kids, we need better tech for the elderly. Kids can learn anything. Elderly can really struggle with today's tech.

   Oh yes, they absolutely need a coding test! Has Google innovated much in the interviews themselves in the last, say, 10 years? My perception is No. I get the impression that Google's old-fashioned process is a point of pride that the

   Sometimes it's worth taking action to diminish a perception, even if that perception isn't actually true. Has Google considered the impact of the perception that their interviews are hazing? Especially in the context of Google&#x2

    A third perspective: After living and working in California for 6 years, I was considering a job as third engineer at a startup in another state. I was a bit anxious about side projects, and asked about them after receiving the offer. The r

    Thanks for calling out these major factual errors. I can confirm your corrections. What a terrible article!

    Yes. I should have been more clear that Flexible SSL has nothing to do with the incident, it's just another sign that Cloudflare is dangerous to the web.

    At the very least, Cloudflare should do a better job of discouraging use of Flexible SSL. People that opt in to Flexible SSL should know what they are doing. I edited my comment.

    What other CDN makes it easy to use plaintext between the CDN and origin, yet use a secure connection between the CDN and the end user, and has the nerve to market this as a feature called "Flexible SSL"? Edit: I wasn't very

    Thanks for answering! Your last idea is a good idea but more work for the list editor. I'm not sure the motivations of the list editor, but if he or she is just an impartial volunteer (important assumption), it seems like it's rea

    Do you have a concrete suggestion for the list maintainer to better vet the list? Can you prove that your site did not use the reverse proxy service at any point while the vulnerability was live?

    AWS launched Postgres RDS in November 2013. They covered MySQL and Oracle RDS under BAA in August 2015. But AWS didn't add Postgres RDS to the BAA until November 2016. We're hoping GCP doesn't delay covering Postgres Cloud SQ

    Let's hope they are building the managed Postgres product from the ground up with an eye toward compliance!

    This is true, however Amazon's standard BAA is a bit more robust than Google's. This didn't stop my HIPAA-compliant company from choosing Google, but it does make it more difficult to compare the two clouds on HIPAA-friendlin

    That would be much better. Also Cloudflare gives an option to require HTTPS on this link. What's so sneaky about Cloudflare is they call the insecure option "Flexible SSL" rather than what it is, "Insecure SSL". And

    Yup, this made it crystal clear, years ago, that Cloudflare's business incentives were and are at odds with a secure web.
