If a user has access to your physical machine (or just to the OS remotely) they can intercept data between the keypress and app sending it, you are correct that any encryption is less effective in that case. What Signal and other apps like

This is cool stuff and I wan that HUD, but I take pause with the following statement: > With these two innovations, you would not need a certification course to dive safely. There is a lot more to diver certification than learning how to

I think I've lived too hard in my youth to make $1m via the $5k a month count before I kick it. Plus I'm a gambler so I'd take the $1m up front, considering my bet is that I'll die before I collect.

You may be an exceptional case. I do know people that are unreasonably driven, but it's always been for their own success. > My team has (real) equity and I like to believe they see the worth of the product. Hey, if you're &#x

These people who like to work as little as possible are called human beings. Sorry, but you have unreasonable expectations for your team. Think about it. You are asking human beings to make personal sacrifices for no personal gain, but fo

Great question. I killed in my first few years at that Fortune 50, then stalled because I was on an unfit team and continually pressed my colleagues. Learned a lot from that, but I digress. I did some contracting where I worked ~50, beca

I've been working professionally in IT for about 6 years now and the concept of 'working too little' has never come up from any of my managers. I have a strict personal policy of working the exact amount of hours discussed u

Let me start by saying that anybody that has internalized how JS and its various frameworks work is way smarter than me. In my experience, the Bootcamps and other 'get you a job quick' resources are pushing all graduates to front-

I don't think you have a full understanding of Bernie's positions. "It goes against one of the core principles of being American, the ability to work your way up, without limits." is horseshit. Tell that to a child born

I don't think people had faith that these issues were actually what the Dems wanted to go after if they'd have won. Many of these only became talking points for the establishment once it became apparent that Bernie was a threat t

I am not posing the following question in a critical manor, I am genuinely curious. How can moving to Northern Europe from the US benefit one's career? Is it feasible to immediately compete for work against locals as a junior dev? W

I have a Google Fiber outlet in my apartment and am signed up for once they get to my neighborhood. Rumor has it that will be 4/18. I saw a few installation trucks when I moved here last year but haven't seen one since probably

I totally understand your perspective, but I think people are interested in 'buying' artificial intelligence. It may be out of ignorance or maybe it's the way the market is describing 'help with implementing artificial

I think this explains the success of the Souls series. Yes, you do get to level up and get new gear, but the game presents problems that can only be solved through skill and thought. I honestly don't think it's feasible to grind

I think the point of the article is to ask yourself: Are you really 'paying more' for not using Uber, or are the rising moral/ethical questions of their operations a greater cost to humanity as a whole (which includes you)?

If what I'm getting out of this is true, and if I have to register a CC or PayPal to throw authors a buck, I'm afraid I'm too lazy. Good luck Medium.

One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film. -Kubrick I often use this argument in situations where people are discussing system architecture.

I'll take this opportunity to mention Shardik, one of his many overlooked novels. It's dark, complex, and in my opinion a greater work than Watership Down. It's got world-building that is on par with Tolkien and is filled wi

Despite the argument here being obvious, what I like is that the author calls out the reader. I have, so many times, said to myself "It's all the idiots that buy the products and click the links that cause the world's problem
