I opt out every time, or did before I got precheck (I know, irony). I never had anything remotely like this experience, and my shaving soap has set off the gas chromatograph machine twice. I still bring it with me when I travel (it doesn&#x

Those practices are largely illegal. There's been a number of successful cases prosecuting wage theft.

The first comma is more-or-less required. It either means, "my mother, who is ayn rand", or it is a serial comma to indicate three people, the speaker's mother, ayn rand and god. There is no construction where there's no

Yah, the problem is that if you plant a seed you often get a wild type apple with a totally random flavor profile (self-pollination within a particular tree won't produce apple trees with fruit that are identical to their parent).

Yup, which means I won't be logging in right away. It looks neat, but I don't think I want to leak private info just because something is shiny.

The unclear thing here is: what is going to happen to hangouts on personal accounts? I use google hangouts on my gmail account for group hangouts all the time (role-playing game group that's geographically distributed, for example). I

Assuming you mean the Outer Sunset of San Francisco: Noriega Produce Mart (gus's, but I love that it's NPM) has almost everything I need, except the meat / fish selection is pretty low. Noriega and 43rd(ish). Other Avenues (j

wellll, I'd wondered how instacart worked, when my nearby nice grocery store got bought by safeway. Originally I thought it was just the delivery fee, and I felt like the delivery people couldn't possibly be getting a living wage

My razer mouse has a twelve button thumbpad on the side of it. It sounds kind of ridiculous but it's an amazing piece of tech. I got it for gaming originally (and still use it for that), but it comes in handy in a lot of regular-work e

you can run synapse in offline mode.

Worth noting that you can use synapse (the driver software in question) in offline mode. Launching it during the s3 outage wasn't possible without manually editing the config XML file, but you can change to offline mode directly in syn

what's the efficiency of that boost converter? how much energy gets dissipated as heat in that setup, and is that likely to cause a fire?

I apologize for making assumptions about your post - I did indeed misinterpret it as assuming the existence of a shibboleth that could be used to test for adherence to a particular set of beliefs.

The problem is one of false positives and prior probabilities. (also, it's westboro and wbc). There's like 40 people in the wbc. Even if you have a 100% false positive rate and just include everybody, that's 40 people. Plus,

Yeah, I think this is tricky. There's the individual accountability thing, which I agree with. If you are in that room and say nothing or laugh it off, you are complicit. But I think that the systemic misogyny is also something that ne

This is the part that really hits me. When, in a meeting, Mike#2 says to "stop being a whiny little bitch", and he's not fired on the spot, something is not just wrong with Mike#2, something is systemically wrong . I don&#x2

Followup - authy's blog post confirmed what I thought: they do encryption of all the user-entered TOTP secrets on the client side and don't store decrypt keys. So anyone who was able to intercept your secret store would still have

by pfooti 10y ago
Worth noting that authy is on the list. So if you synced your authy authenticators during that time, it's possible all your totp secrets leaked. One would hope authy encrypts those keys (I believe they do) client side, but yiiiiikes, I

I wonder if this includes google accounts (since you know, google plus). I mean, the whole notion is horrific and abysmal, but in today's OAUTH world you're not just giving up the facebook goods, you're giving up co-logins to

And what kind of message does this send, given the ongoing russia-related investigations underway? I mean, if he fires people and breaks the chain of succession to shop for a sock puppet over an executive order?

And of course the reason why CBP ignored the judiciary when federal judges issued orders about the EO. Conspiracy-theory wise, it is why the Trump White House page deleted the judicial branch from its sitemap (still has legislative). And of

Consider for a moment an unmoderated forum. HN isn't, but it is lightly moderated, so it is reasonable to consider. An HN where most users agreed with you would be an HN where political posts rapidly fell off the front page, and simply

Read the rest of this thread. Stop sealioning. Or read the EO where it calls out minority religions in countries with a majority Islamic population, coupled with Trump specifically saying he'd prioritize christians in the media.
328.
by pfooti 10y ago
The Christian exemption in the EO is evidence the EO is using a religious test to exclude Muslims. Accepting refugees who are persecuted due to religion is quite different.

It seems to me that if Uber is unable to pay its drivers a living wage, they don't actually have a sustainable business model. They have a business model that relies on regulatory arbitrage (avoiding minimum wage or other employee-prot

Yeah, I ended up visiting the site from my Linux machine just to find out if there was some kind of browser sniffing thing at work. Nope, osx only.
