The problem with this approach is that search engines and other bots have no eye for context. Keeping inaccurate content online, even with a retraction up top, can result in confusing search results and even the propagation of the original

This illustrates something that many people in many disciplines, definitely including developers, do wrong in interviews: it's not just you interviewing with the company, it's the company interviewing with you. Just as you're

OK, but Wells Fargo made $5 billion last year, and the activity they were fined for took place over many years, which leaves me to ask: after the fines, was this activity profitable or not? If it was profitable, do the fines actually dissua

So then this becomes something like the fast money/slow money system in Charles Stross's Neptune's Brood: people destroy their physical bodies to take slow trips to distant locations, preparing themselves by stockpiling slow

Seems like a big bet on the concept that the physical structure of the brain preserves enough information to resurrect a consciousness. If electrical transmissions are at all required, then this would render a brain nothing more than an amu

Filled out the form. Definitely excited to get into a CD environment, rather than the 1-2 deploys/day that I've been exposed to in the past!

"Expect bad deploys: Bad changes will get out, but that's okay. You just need to detect this quickly, and be able to roll back quickly." That's an amazing statement to me. I've always worked in smaller environments

I completely agree with this. In shorthand, having been Product Manager for a number of teams at a variety of companies in several industries, I've found that Scrum is better for teams developing mostly new features, with relatively li

I think you're being too harsh on the revenue side: they make a ton of money. They may not be growing that at the desired rate, or in the right markets, or be appearing to be innovative (or being actually innovative), but Y! has a ton

I really appreciate how they're doing this. The Chinese built up an amazing infrastructure for the Great Firewall; the Kazakhs just say "install our cert!" The Chinese spend billions and have to stay ahead of all of their cit

I used to do 1h free with startups (free for them only, the government paid me), and I echo your impression of "perfect start-ups" (which is a better name than I ever thought of). For whatever reason, I only saw the perfect start-

I am absolutely not clear how changing one's IP is different from any other form of currency arbitrage - which is what this transaction is, and also what explains the cost difference between currencies from the airline's point of

This, seriously. The reality is that you're leaving a company that has /no value/. It may have a number of pieces to get to value, but you're nowhere yet. Sometime, in the future, some set of pieces may come together tha

Isn't a big side effect of laws like these that tools such as encryption and P2P can be classified as designed to violate IP, and banned?
