Considering the first iPhone was $600, $728 in today's money, and did basically nothing. I don't see how $1000 is completely unreasonable. Video games still cost exactly the same(without inflation), with 100x the budget, as they d

What the heck? I grew up in the same era, and lightning bugs were what you did late night out in the yard as a kid.

Did you research the weather before moving to Florida? The majority of the year it is oppressively hot and humid. Nothing a Scandinavian is even remotely used to.

I think the issue is when remakes happen in quick succession. When generations go by magic like The Fly, Oceans 11, and the greatest remake of all time, The Thing, happens.

Honestly, your 9/10 bit makes you sound like a manager who has been called out for making poor decisions. That isn't what I'd consider a toxic employee AT ALL. If you're making stupid decisions, you should be called out

Wasn't aware they could accidental fire that easily! That sounds like a massive design defect.

Welp. Certainly the zillions of sites relying on Facebook authentication would be a serious issue. Clearly there would have to be some type of winding down period, as a cold turkey cut off would be massive on scale.

Account stealers aren't brute forcing passwords. They are trying common passwords that dum dums often use, or circumventing by other means like email.

Don't look at it from the view of a complete project. Think of it like compound interest in your retirement account. I learn by building slightly more complex projects on top of a previous simpler project knowledge. Want to build an en

Right, but I was replying to OP. "Twitter should probably scan their user passwords for obvious / most-used ones and require their users to change their passwords."

You're misunderstanding how this would work. This is effectively what a hacker would do brute force. You have to generate a hash for each password in your common list, for EACH salt in your user list. 326 million Twitter users x each p

Assuming they aren't using plain text, or simple hashes, how would Twitter do that? Even a standard salted password against that many accounts is tens of millions of cpu hours. Using something like bcrypt would be 10,000x slower than t

Now if they can only breed taste into them. This fish is mostly tasteless, and the novelty of being dangerous is the reason for its consumption.

Not true at all, I've reported MANY of my unauthorized posts and all have been swiftly dealt with by Instagram. In my experience, they take it seriously when you provide proof of your post, and theirs.

I dream of the day where there is an original content only Instagram. It will never happen in reality, but I spend a small percentage of my week submitting copyright requests to Instagram. They are surprisingly responsive, but the monstrous

Meaningful, as in something beyond I'm only trying to extract money from you, not connecting at a level that makes for great sex. There is a middle ground there where two people can be genuine in being mutually beneficial to one anothe

The only meaningful connections I've ever made, were made randomly sitting at a bar, dinners, and anywhere else you're forced into sitting next to strangers in a casual(not work related) environment. Seriously, if you want to meet

Passwordless authentication exists, Medium has it, I've implemented it before, and I prefer it myself. The biggest issue being it adds an additional step, that most don't want to deal with. What if they don't have access to t

Examples. Documentation is great, but without practical examples, it's useless to me. I learn from example, not trying to decipher man pages.

My current setup is as follows. I found this to be the best way of not being distracted by other functions on the same machine. When I want to do one of those 3 tasks, I bootup the correct machine/drive. MacOS(Hackintosh) - Daily drive

They might not be hiring the top 1%, but they are only hiring 1% of the people who apply.

Snap-On may makes quality tools, but their prices reflect it. Unless you're actually a mechanic that uses those tools constantly, the prices are tremendously prohibitive. Enter Craftsman. Combined with the warranty, they were a FAR bet

It's not realistic that the vast majority of people can expected to be hired, or move to those places, let alone achieve those salary levels. I would be amazed if even 1% of applicants actually got hired. You have 5x greater chance of

So leave a voicemail. No one answers their phones anymore anyhow, because it's 99% of the time a spammer.
