How do contracts with laptop producers usually work? Could they ship in consumer hardware by the end of the year if that's the stated availability or does it usually take longer? What are the chances that the Apple flagship (MBP) timin

I foresee a lot of trouble as a MBP user with no other Apple products (MBP=work machine). Interoperability with Android phones is already sucky and they seem to bundle their product line even more. Siri for MBP will be annoying, hope it can

I would be very surprised if there weren't any bots that "short stacked" in that time span. Not sophisticated bots coming up with amazing strategies but rather bots designed for automating a mundane task. [I played semi profe

The title is unfortunate. At first I though...wait why are they discontinuing Elm, what did I miss. I've never written anything in Elm but that short post makes me want to try it. Sounds like a pretty great feature of a language to hav

I believe the passwords came from the 2012 LinkedIn breach and was referring to the original criminals. If you have the criminal energy to steal that data you might as well use it. I don't think there was anything white hat about that

Just to clarify. I was referring to the non-programming jobs. So for an entry level management job you'll do the assessment center and jump through all sorts of hoops. For your next job it's usually a basic discussion. It'll

That'll be an excellent example on many security talk slides in the future (PW strength, reuse of PWs, salting) They probably could have made some money by combining some day trading of FB stock with a well timed announcement of resign

From reading their page and watching a talk I don't quite get how they merge taxation and anonymity. As I understand it what individual transactions are for is protected but the total money flows are available and thus taxable? I take

There's assessment centers for most decent entry level management jobs which usually involve grouping tasks by importance and team oriented tasks. They can last a day, sometimes two. Typical consulting gigs have case studies and market

It is the great irony of our times that a domain that requires so little working capital to start and grow reasonably well (software) is so hungry for money infusions. I hear that you need the money to grow quickly and growing quickly and c

I a reasonably liquid market I could just sell my stocks to get cash. If I don't trust the company to grow I should take the cash dividend but probably also sell all my stock in it (and invest it elsewhere).

by kriro 10y ago
Possibly very naive question but why are dividends paid at all if it's essentially a noop? If they are paid in cash the stock I own is worth less by the same amount and if they are paid in stocks my initial stock is diluted by the same

Why not run a parser that removes all comments over all code that is turned in. It's easier to read the code with no comments and if there are no comments the sections that should be commented really pop out (you can then check to see

I'll wait for the trade but this has me pretty excited. As an aside I am always surprised there's so few "cyberpunk" comic books. Would be the perfect medium and the typical reader is probably rather comic book friendly.
