They're not going to shut down a single thing. They need to roll out a half-assed update to 'minimize' data on US persons, and also open investigations of potential criminal activity into as many millions of Americans as poss

Maybe this team could focus on the Netflix software itself on TVs. They recently removed the ability to view all movies in a genre and totally removed all sub-genres. The main reason I bought my TV was for Netflix so now I don't have m

The irony is not lost on me, but at least my voice in the debate doesn't really matter (I'm more concerned about people on the Senate floor, TV, radio, etc). For what it's worth, I replied elsewhere in this thread with a summ

Yes, agreed. Reading the Patriot Act, in light of Snowden disclosures, makes it easy to see how they justify collecting all content from every American. The USA Freedom Act re-authorizes the Patriot Act as is with the exception that in many

The talking points that keep coming up in discussions about reform center on metadata and phone records. This is only a small part of the story and I wish groups like EFF would do a better job publicizing the rest of what Snowden disclosed.

Listen to talk radio and do something to get out of the house during the day (each lunch out, buy coffee, gym, etc). Also, find a significant other.

That's how I got my first job out of college. Actually when I walked into the interview room, they had my program on a projector, the code loaded into an IDE, and asked me to explain everything. Then they loaded their apps on to the pr

Ask for $15/hr and then $55K/yr. I earned about that doing a co-op in the Midwest, age 20, with no experience. Computer programmers are almost never offered unpaid internships. But overall these people seem sketchy. Go to your CS

Intuit allows BTC payment through their QuickBooks Payments system. So BTC is pretty mainstream. It's not any crazier than saying you accept PayPal or Venmo.

When I got married I annoyed many photographers by balking at their rates and then negotiating for copyright ownership. If I'm paying someone $3500 per day, I expect that to be a work-for-hire. If they want to show up for $100 then fin
