This story doesn't shine a good light on the student, especially if he wants to be in the field of security he should be more savvy. Either he bought followers, or gave suspicious apps authorization to post on his behalf, or his accoun

No, she gets upset because people ignore the fact that she had to work to become that good. Also, any random person can learn to play violin sufficient enough to play in an orchestra (besides a physical or mental disability maybe). Maybe no

A friend of mine is a professional violinist. People say she is really talented and skilled. The interesting thing is that she gets very upset when people say: you are so talented. The reason she explained to me once is that people see her

I'm not sure if voluntarily self censoring is worth missing out on what happens around us.

After reading this article I'm not sure if I read or learned anything new. The article tries to challenge the 10000 hours rule, but fails to provide details or numbers that suggest what other factors would be more important. It briefly

This might have been a few weeks ago, afterwards he resigned and the news that he didn't hand over (more) names is the latest story it seems. Although, i doubt you can trust Alibaba (or any mainland) related news on this regardless.

In many ways this was absolutely the best the CEO could have done. It seemed inevitable that he would resign, but its great to see that he didn't sell out his employees - which a few weeks ago seemed like. A good way to be remembered p

At times I think Google should move some of their core teams over to GCP. It seems like they dont know what they are doing. The hiring bar also appears much lower at GCP. Makes you wonder how important Google sees GCP, or they think the tra

1.7 million were marching on the streets yesterday. Imagine, that's like every 4th resident of Hong Kong.

Its not unheard of. My friend had cops called on him by neighbors because kids where playing "unattended" by themselves in the front yard! This caused lots of trouble for the family, incl. potentially loosing custody - its insane!

The power of marketing campaigns. It's a bit disturbing to see Google push so hard for this - and still majority of ordinary of customers just want a cheap Windows laptop. The Best Buy guy gave pretty reasonable advice. Also confirmin

Interesting view. Would you see engineers similar to accountants? Aren't they just as replaceable, not providing much value besides implementing ideas and specifications? Its just the founder that matters if I understood your comment c

Greenland might be one of the more desirable landmasses 50-100 years from now. Strategically very important, and when it warms up more cities, economy and tourism will thrive as well.

Seems like the Googler just expressed their own experience. You might be implicitly falling for the point you are trying to make?

Companies do these things all the time and in other industries they get away with it. It would be nice if other industries would have similar strict audits and requirements.

This response is gold and informative. Lots of Google employees on HN who jump in defending everything Google does - so maybe your issue will get attention soon. Sorry though, that you are going through this.

Managment just does basic risk assessment: pay a few million here or there for a fine doesn't really impact business continuity - so security is not important at all. That's the reality. For profit companies are often quite unethi

Google, the content thief. It's amazing how they can get away with this, while at the same time not allowing others to scrape their sites. The actual content creators probably see significantly less traffic because of this - without ev

Uber's concept showed car ports up on buildings, so flying cars wouldn't be on the ground I guess. In that sense not very different to helicopters and dedicated heliports.
