No, he means each "bank safe" is a "user profile". I.e. controlling the site didn't automatically come with the users' history on the site.

To be fair... If you commit a crime, you have to expect there's a risk of being caught and punished. So how is this "really bad", except from the POV of the users who may face repercussions?

Avoid live concerts (the volume is always way too loud), wear appropriate hearing protection when working in a loud environment, listen to music at a reasonable level. Every so often I'll be sitting on a bus or plane and be able to cle

The article is about lifestyle _changes_ you can make to mitigate existing risk factors. You can't _change_ whether or not you have AIDS once you already have it, not yet at least. And if you make a _special_ effort to avoid getting AI

I'm not sure "getting rid of your AIDS" counts as a "lifestyle change"...

So it's a Linux distro that offers native Android app support, sans-emulator? Was that the whole thing? Considering how... entrenched the OS market is, it's not easy to have a solid value proposition for creating a _new_ OS.

So... Android is built on the Linux kernel... and these people were making an "Android" PC OS? How is that not essentially just another Linux distro? What exactly, was the point?

Wow... they must really have to time these service trips with the weather... You'd be so exposed... Also surprising is the apparent lack of safety... the carabiners / clips just loosely hang around the occasional rung and are ofte

It is not an attack on remote working. It is an attack on the naive assumption that there is worthwhile value in being handed a stack of detailed requirements and implementing them with no back-and-forth.

I'd love if that methodology were more common. The "traditional" method usually involves companies insisting we provide waterfall style proposals and they don't want to invest in up-front "mini-project" of havi

Agreed, I think "Computer Science" is being incorrectly marketed as the program for aspiring software developers. It does not focus on the skills and knowledge needed to actually do the job, with the exception of some rather niche

I thought something quite similar, but upon further reflection the "remote" buildup and conclusion sets the narrative frame for the rest of the article. Rather than just a "wisdom dump" it becomes more of a story with a

Well, I'd argue it's all about buying time. Obviously nothing lasts forever, but that's no reason to throw the baby out with the bath-water. If we can buy our species another couple centuries on this planet, we can probably s

I am so sorry you have to live with that shadow hanging over your head. :( I know people must get sick of the "holier than thou" attitudes of the nations with universal health care, but it's stories like yours that make it al

Just to be clear... the "grown up" conversation you wish Americans could stomach is the one that involves socializing medicine and not the one that involves letting random people die needlessly, right?

Wow, I hadn't even thought of that. The one anecdote I know of was the opposite, but I guess that's because it was clear that the uninsured patient could and would pay a reasonable bill... so presumably they can either get a small

Why not just have proper socialized medicine, such as in Canada? Instead of this perverse system of "shadow" socialized medicine, fraud, and over-billing, why not just make it come out of everyone's taxes? That way everyone p

It's also telling when the hospital gives you different bills depending on if you're insured or not. If you're insured they charge waaay more. They give you a more "realistic" bill if you are uninsured. It's a
