"We need to take it back", but what is going to happen is that a couple of Facebook groups are going to be started, a few tweets written here and there complaining about how bad it is that the naughty governments are spying on inn

One day, when the sun is shining and the birds are happily chirping away in the trees, someone is going to submit a similar headline. "How X works", with X being something interesting. "How slowing down your metabolism with p

You'll find that it's pretty typical of _global_ politics. Say one thing, then do another once you have the power. So typical, and so typically unpunished.

Naive author. The president's beliefs have no meaning. The only thing that is important is what the puppetmasters want. This "Dan" fellow, author of the article, should be old enough to know this. On the other hand, if Dan wr

Skimmed through the article and I didn't find any evidence of "making your data center run like Google's". More specifically: I didn't see any live data connections to the NSA.

When someone accuses me of being any of those things, I just say "yes" and let them think so. If people want me to be sexist I can be sexist. I can be a women (or MAN!) hater if I want, or if the name-caller wants. Either is fine.

I cannot fathom why people still rely on Google for their core business needs. At my last place of work I built an SMS system to be used as the second factor in the intranet login. I _could_ have used a 3rd party 2FA, but the most _logical_

Came here just to say that I utterly hate such phrases, to the point of wishing the most terrible ills on the people who, thinking it's cute and quirky, willingly use the phrase. I refuse to visit the link and will, if possible, downvo

They're "weird" because I have little experience with them, having barely ever heard malay until this quiz. I correctly guessed it because I heard the word "muslim" or "islam" in the clip. And they ARE far

This NDA business seems far more prevalent in the US than in Europe. I've only been asked to sign an NDA at one place I worked at for several years. After refusing they just let the idea go and I didn't hear of the NDA ever again.

If you need people to explain to other people why the stuff you build is great, then maybe the stuff ain't that great after all and you need propaganda experts to lie to people and fool them into buying your products? Neither an automo

I've looked it up real quick but I can't see the Holodomor being illegal to deny in any other country other than the Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_of_the_Holodomor#Holodo... Or are you talking

That anecdote does nothing to lessen my dislike of marketers and other similarly worthless people that value form over function.

The funny part is that its a specific opinion, also. Questioning the existence of the Holodomor, for example, even though it conservatively resulted in the deaths of 7 million people in one single year, more than the whole "6 million j

I can only speak for tech companies, but my experience is that once a company becomes large enough to hire HR people and middle management, that's a sign that money is being wasted paying for unproductive types rather than creating and

I don't agree with the article's first comment, about it sounding arrogant. Sounds like the guy has good advice, that's all. // icp - quit the last job because I wanted to work remotely and wasn't allowed to.

Either (1) it's true for where you live or (2) you're lying. Page 46 of BRÅs 1996 report ( http://galnegunnarsblogg.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/bra-199... ) says the following: "Invandrares överrepres

As soon as 9/11 happened (I'm too young to have been aware of the Troubles), I argued, and continue to argue to this day: after a terrorist attack, as soon as _anything_ is changed, anything at all for any reason, the terrorists h

The answer to all of your questions is: money. Those at the bottom are making enough to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Those at the top are making tons and tons of it off power: oil deals, stocks, lobbying/corrupti

Unfortunately, dishonesty sells. How did all the large megacorporations get to where they are now? Not by being great programmers and free thinkers, but by being greedy businessmen and, later, buying tons of lobbyists. This piece of shit co
