My rule of thumb, if its in SV, its a superfund site. I used to work by the VA hospital, there was a sign that said pregnant women shouldn't touch the grass.

In your first case, if you are running on Windows NT 6.1 using WebKit on a new browser for humans called 'Snakemaster Pro', then you aren't doing anything wrong. If by client you mean a robot, then you are pretending to be a

No, it won't prevent being scraped. That's not the point I was making. The point is, the scraper would have to hide their intentions and identity, which removes any claim they are being 'honest' in their intentions and n

When you make your conenction to Linkedin, What user agent would you provide? One that's blank, another that's "lelandbatey bot" or one that says, "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) Apple

True, but in making the request, you will provide information on who is making that request. If you say, "I am a bot!", and they grant you permission, your request is legal. But if you say, 'I am NOT a bot', like spoofin

Its kind of like asking a lawyer, "If I do X, will that prevent me from being sued?" The answer is always No, but they think about it for a few hours before they reply.

You should give two weeks notice, but be financially prepared to have to leave immediately. However, if a company does ask you to walk instead of notice, they've pretty much given up on ever getting any notice from any of their other e

It taints the whole project. Its a serious flaw, if you've watch silicon valley, the whole bit about him doing a slight thing on a company laptop, and now that company would own the whole project. Its that.

The dynamic that requires companies to clean room, typically comes from some license that comes with the original product. I license you a black box with 3 switches on it and 3 lights. The license dictates you may not look inside. The clean

Which goes to how important these lines are. Google claims to have done a 'clean room' implementation. That is, someone with access to the source, writes down the API. Someone else writes based on the API that was inferred. If the

Well, i read elsewhere in this thread, that updating the firmware for the secure enclave wipes the private key contained within. Which means you've effectively wiped the phone.

I'm beginning to think that the best incentive system is just a good base pay, with an emphasis on personal learning and growth. Have engineers strive to become better engineers by taking courses, attending meetings and publishing cont

Incentives often cause really nasty political wars within orgs. When a site gives a 500 because a database went down and the web app couldn't connect to it... is that a bug, a missed test case or should ops take a hit on down time? Fur

I'm in full agreement. In practise, a manual QA team encourages Devs to throw shit over the wall and expect someone else to do some basic sanity checks they should have already done. By the time those are done, what the QA team theoret

Yahoo mail probably makes a pretty good penny. Yahoo isn't going to die, IMHO, its just going to be separated off, with the unprofitable bits discarded. It'll probably end up as, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance. I think

I think the best strategy is to try to emulate how you actually work as close as possible. If in the former case a candidate were expected to get started, it's probably indicative to the culture of engineering that the behavior is valu

I think you're missing a lot of the bigger picture that the comment you're replying to had. When you work on governmental projects, a lot of requirement are legislated in. 10 years ago there might have been some incident that ca

A lot has been written about secret US courts giving secret warrants to spy on US networks or force companies to give keys. Infiltrating foreign servers, installing backdoors and such don't require any warrant or court approval.

Except if the MMS went to an iPhone or other device not affected. Unless you can determine Android/iPhone from just a #, apple/blackberry/MS phones would be full of corrupted MMS messages.

IMHO, government money is so tough to divy out. Mainly because there is a large group of people who are cheerleading for the investment to fail. That is, the opposition party and their supporters.

Who knows if one of the creators had some options in one of the companies with 'fake' histories. They very well could be in prison. In fact, its amazing they continue to run the site, even without accepting money, creating 'f
