No guarantee that Atlassian Wikis will last forever either, but I'm certain that's the wiki 90% will be thinking of when "use a wiki" is suggested. Backing up your knowledge store is a very separate task from your day-to

Mistakes will be fixed pretty quickly if this policy gets implemented, so I don't see it as a problem.

Counter-example: Ubuntu serves their ISO via an HTTP link on an HTTPS page. They supply a gpg signature as a way to validate that the file was not tampered with.

I'm being very careful to not proclaim _what_ I think the punishment/learning should be. I'll concede that my 7-11 analogy makes it sound like I'd push for a harsh punishment, though that's not my intent (and indeed

I'm suggesting the students be punished in the same way as if they had cheated on a paper ballot election. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't think it's a stretch to think that HS students should know better than to cheat -

I feel like there's a difference between "lying about the facts of an investigation, including what they know or don't know, during questioning" and "misrepresenting the rights of the accused." The latter feels

And there are things you could do to roads that would get human drivers killed but not affect machine drivers. The world doesn't descend into chaos just because chaos is possible. It descends into chaos when the people who cause chaos

I'm not sure the article OP is being disingenuous. It's a thread _specifically_ about Lyft's costs - and Lyft is clearly at a scale where they would NOT be colocating.

The tweet took Lyft's total AWS costs and divided it by total rides. It's not a literal accounting of the compute cost for a single ride. AWS costs that wouldn't really fit into a per-ride accounting: * Redundancy of instance

It depends - if you're going from zero revenue, then, losing 10% of your users to go from zero dollars to N dollars is a great deal. If you have existing other revenue sources, then you definitely have to factor that into the equation.

I concur with your line of thought, as long as the base salary covers your basic needs (food, shelter, sufficient extra to put away for retirement, basic vacations). Once those bases are covered, the employee is already looking at "mor

To expand on what you're saying: TOTP as a "something you have" approach to 2FA is entirely dependent on how well the device secures the secrets. An RSA key's private key is (nearly?) impossible to retrieve. The Google A

I agree with this 100%. It's the same short-sighted approach that led to teachers getting paid pittances and forced to buy supplies out of pocket. By in the short-term propping up those employees, we reduce the overall pressures to imp

You're missing step 3.5, where as a company gains trust and notoriety, more and more 3rd parties will attempt to game the system to their favor. That's where most trust can end up lost. The moment it becomes worthwhile to "bu

It's absolutely victim blaming. It's true that it's a reasonably good practice to assume that databases will be leaked. That doesn't mean that when a company loses control of private data that the company holds no blame.

I stopped after about 60 points, but the fact that new block colors had shown up every dozen points or so made me want to get going for a while to see if there were any more mechanics. This really is a fantastic little game.

Unless it's shrinking as devs realize other platforms offer a free version of the same service. Especially if those devs decide that they like the new platform better, and convince their company to use it.

The link says that it's up to the implementation, which means it's valid for Python's JSON implementation to support larger numbers. It's less "interoperable" but not strictly invalid, by my read.

Wow, glad to hear about that Hulu situation. I used Hulu for a while, then dropped it when they added ads to my paid account. When I heard they had an ad-free version again I thought I might come back - but if the ad-free version is not ad-
