Google has the responsibility to inform users that the software they are using has known vulnerabilities as much as they have a responsibility to disclose them quietly to the software vendors that can fix them. The way you laid things out,

I think, even as an internal collaboration tool, the faces of who has been touching a repo recently are very valuable. Who do I go to for help, or to get a PR approved, or to request a new feature?

The Xiaomi scooter I have has 2 brakes, but you only have direct control of one. The motor does some regenerative braking any time you let off the accelerator, which I've found is enough to cruise down a moderate grade quite nicely. So

Divorce is an option. Legally divorce then cut a new will to leave 100% to the wife before you start your treatment. That way she's only out half at most if the medical debts take everything. You'd have to be careful to not treat

I have done some pencil math about the unit economics of these scooters a few times but I have to guess at usage rates, attrition, permit fees, and labor costs. I want to write out my reasoning here so I can share my thinking. I assume the

I got a Xiaomi scooter for $305 directly from them as part of a 10 scooter order (including shipping costs). Bird and Lyft both use these exact scooters. I'm sure they are getting a better deal than I did, but the tariffs have since ki

I'm having a hard time picturing this as anything but standard stock/option grants negotiated per employee. How do you correlate a particular individual's contributions to profit in software? And even if you could really unde

Why is this a "joke"? Does a gaggle of teenagers running into a movie theater and yelling "fire!" constitute a joke? People might get seriously injured in the ensuing chaos. The same is (almost) true here, people lost mo

I think a lot of this stems from the way Software Development, as a practice, is evolving almost as quickly as Computer Science is (or at least there is a perception that it is evolving). Bridges are built largely the same way as they were
