1. Yahoo has official email ids which no longer work (but were functional in the past). Are these also up for grabs? Or, are some email ids "more equal than others"? 2. Websites with paid access. There are people who sign up and d

RIP. Are there any other faculty members (not necessarily at MIT) who have managed to start their own companies which became successful, and yet have stayed on as a faculty member? That itself seems to be a rare achievement.

You can, at least about Gmail. Especially since there is no way to export your Gmail data using Google Takeout.

This is true. However, in some cases, the short amount of time people think and talk about you is enough to cause permanent damage to your reputation/career/job/life.

The "less than one percent" claim is based on the total number of GLOBAL users and the total number of requests made by U.S. officials . It is misleading.

There is a strategy behind this - Tumblr, now Hulu. She is acquiring content generating properties. Whether it will succeed or not remains to be seen, but kudos to her for trying! To those who say it has been tried before by other CEOs: Fli

The site loads slow (maybe just for me). Edit: just saw your response to others, ignore this. I got 15 errors while validating the home page. You may want to make sure it is all valid HTML5. Nice site, overall. Some pretty neat themes as w

Thank you for the article. In a real life scenario, surveillance camera images are all you will get to work with, most likely. So maybe, the focus should be on figuring a way out to recognize individuals based on images taken at those angle

While I agree with the general sentiment, no one has been able to build viable alternatives. The ones which have come close are GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus. Maybe contribute code to these projects to make them better? If I recall correctly,
