I know what you mean Like back when all you had to do to get banned software to run on your school’s computer was rename the executable to notepad.exe - I’ll be damned if I didn’t feel like neo in the matrix at the time

Honestly, to a degree I chalk this up to boys will be boys. I had my own stint doing this type of stuff on my different schools networks growing up and it too spawned an interest that’s led me to an entire career. You shouldn’t feel bad - y

Wow, you’re mangling thr word nostalgia’s history. Great example of where someone isn’t technically lying, but the essence of the word is definitely not how you’ve portrayed it here.

Are you sure this wasn’t an application to the DMV or an attempt to pull a building permit?

Exactly, the fact that people think this comment has to do with explicit credit card transactions shows how unaware people are of all the other implications. You said it best - the currency is eyeballs - even if you aren’t spending they wan

FWIW I preemptively acknowledged the irony in my comment because I admit it was a little ludicrous. I wasn’t responding to your comment, I was would have kept it to myself as it wasn’t necessarily directed towards you personally > Don&#x

Yeah, lack of money is rarely the problem for these behemoths, it’s lack of will or motivation. To that end, I wish the government just said, we’ve deemed you a provider of essential goods, find a way to get your company to invest onshore,

Just a side comment on what a great little video. Short, to the point, and the illustrations/animations actually helped convey the message. Would be super cool if someone could recommend some social media account/channel with coll

That article has to have some of the worst written language I’ve seen in a wikipedia article in a while. Just bad, unclear, convoluted explanations. Thankfully they provide a lot of examples - they should probably just skip to those and you

You can probably get fairly close to do this by using an apple watch with a sim card I used to leave the house with just my watch and it was great - I could read and send text messages, email, even take calls on my watch and have everything

Dude I’m often on interview panels and some of the other interviewers are insufferable. When they give feedback, they love getting on their soapbox and critiquing others as if they were Olympic judges or something. I’ve had to hold myself b

I get your point and I agree, but for me I perhaps inaccurately use processed as a proxy for calorie density. Working at a restaurant in college, I saw that a single plate of pasta they made during a busy night when it was hard to keep up c

Completely unrelated, but I asked Siri to read this article to me on my phone while I made breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did it work, but it was accurate and didn’t sound too, too robotic. Will definitely try again.

Ah, signed parts. This is a great idea and a good compromise between the what I mentioned and a full blown console. Would be great if they strictly enforced what versions of windows you were allowed to run.

At first I was optimistic that AI would greatly alleviate the issue here, but no dice. As someone who was super competitive about the games they played (reformed, no longer play), I can tell you online cheating is completely out of hand. Th

Interesting, I always heard it was started by Jews looking to get away from racism back east. I might have to do a little reading myself to clear this up

Yeah I did a similar thing. I was a math major and I used to be adamant about reading the chapter perfectly before starting my problem sets. I mentioned this to my math professor and he’d always say to not be afraid to jump into the problem

So this is my takeaway: You can start a company with the very end goal of providing a carefully curated ecosystem to your customers. No one will say shit. Then, once your company beats the odds and becomes successful, f you you have to shar

Very cool, I’ve had very similar thoughts in the past. Thinking about the law in this way actually made realize how the number of bugs there is actually low for what a clusterfuck it is.

Oh get off it, the dude is asking what you’d work in if you had all the money in the world. It’s not hard to understand the spirit of his question. If your answer is none, that’s great, I think the follow up sermon was unnecessary.

iPad is this weird little device that I don’t need, until I do. It’s nice having a device I sync zero data to where I can turn off any auto lock feature. I use it this way to learn stuff like guitar or cooking where I can freeze the screen

Why is it hard to see that while he may not be a target for any sort of state sponsored attack, it’s a bellwether of apples stance on security. I really, really don’t think he meant he was switching to Apple because he’s a CIA spy stationed
