I love to rip on 'social startups' as much as any good hacker, and I basically start my day with a cup of coffee and the 'startup guys' video. reading this article, though, something clicked for me. why does it matter that there are startup

> “If something urgently needs my attention, someone will call or text me.” this probably works when you're the CEO/founder. when you're not, you probably don't want a reputation as "the guy who never checks his email" ...

these are the same air carriers that flew planes into the ground until the FAA mandated they have GPWS[1], so I don't think the "if they honestly posed a risk we would do something about it". people have taken bigger risks with life-safety

it's worth noting, I think, that Schneier is pretty out of touch when it comes to the whole "open wireless" thing, because he leaves himself open to a bunch of local-only attacks. he's correct that your computer should be able to withstand

IMO the creeper card thing is pretty bogus. If you are in a threatening situation, handing someone a red card is not going to deescalate anything. Nor is it nonconfrontational. It's basically shifting blame back onto the women, "well if he

this is kind of a jerk thing to do because a server / cashier person basically has to be nice even if they feel crappy so when you ask them "how are you doing" you are forcing them to lie. do you feel better now?

a better option: use the iOS mail app (with imaps), and use application-specific passwords. don't log in to your app account from safari. you then get two benefits: 1. session cookie hijacking not possible 2. the iOS mail app supports encry

yes. almost every employer offers some degree of tuition reimbursement because, as far as I understand, they can get a tax deduction for the money they pay to their employees under such a program. most places will offer around $5000 a year,

reflashing router firmware is still something out of reach to most consumers. it would probably not even occur to most consumers that the ads in their web browser would be something they could change.

how would open source software prevent this? I have an open source Buffalo router that shipped with DD-WRT. it has a service onboard where I can run an alternate SSID as a free wifi hotspot, and software on the router will inject a frame in
