Why should the remote stop functioning just because the company doesn't exist? That's a bunch of BS in my opinion. Remind me to never support anything from these founders in the future.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. I think it's okay to skip interviews if she decides to forego any of the winnings. But the entire point of the tournament is to create excitement over it, via media coverage, etc. If she do

To be honest, $2/month isn't that unreasonable from a useful service. I would definitely class Google Photos as useful, especially its ability to search for pictures. I personally use iCloud, and back everything to a Synology.

Wow, what an interesting and insightful article! I've worked with many Russians and enjoyed working with them immensely, but I did notice they seemed very stern or serious as well. The difference in culture of smiling is very interesti

Do a bit better research. It stands for Phrack World News in this context. I also read Phrack back in the day as well. How about trying to search through all the Phrack articles to find the use of the word "pwn" that doesn't

As an engineer you need to know how to be efficient with code. Not every single test case needs to be handled otherwise your code becomes unwieldy and brittle. Sometimes it's okay to handle an exception, write to the log so that you ca

Back in the day, I played Counter-strike, Quake, Warcraft, Doom (I played PvP against people in my dorm using modem using IPX protocol pre-Internet). The first place I saw it was definitely Counter-strike. My guess is that it originated in

Nope. It 100% came from Counter-strike. There was a typo in one of the messages and that's how it got famous.

I think people should get in the habit of deleting all their convos that are more than a month old. Most convos are 99.99% worthless, and it's very freeing to be rid of them. One of my friends had her H1B cancelled and was given a 10 y

I love how the term "pwn" came from Counterstrike culture back when I was playing it at the turn of the century, and it's still in use today.

He's morally responsible, but is he criminally responsible? Not according to the law. Plus, the direct analogy is that he would be responsible at the time of releasing the prisoner, before someone gets killed. That's why to me thi

You aren't culpable today. You are culpable when the people die. You can't be charged for negligence causing death if those deaths haven't happened yet.

But the harm hasn't happened yet. That's like prosecuting Tesla right now for their Autopilot before anyone has been killed because of their faulty software.

How can you prove that expanding the mine actually caused any damages to the environment? With a chemical plant, if it leaks waste and poisons a nearby river, the damages are very real and easy to understand. Expanding a mine that doesn&#x2

I believe in strong environmental laws, but the idea that you have to protect people from "future harm" is absurd. How exactly do you do that? I understand that this is in Australia so their laws may be different, but the idea tha

What LeetCode does really, really well is have a ton of test cases and chances are you will fail one of them and will have to try again. So they may explain a problem to you, but they never tell you the edge cases. For example, question #2

I'm a staunch Democrat, but the Kavanaugh accusations were absurd and angering to me. There was nothing there to back her allegations at all. The witness she said was there, her friend, said she didn't remember the incident. She c

We have seen massive inflation in asset prices. Just look at housing and the stock market, both of which took off after the Financial Crisis. This is the primary cause of the massive income inequality we see these days, because poor people

The Fed will do WHATEVER it takes to prevent house price deflation. They've already shown this during the Financial Crisis. Too much of the economy and financial system is based on house prices, there's no way that they can ever a

Economists like Bernanke have talked about dropping money from helicopters in the sky, in order to prevent deflation. What the government has done in the last year with its $10+ trillion in stimulus, is the exact definition of dropping mone

I've never seen this video before, and I've been on the Internet since the mid-90s. It doesn't make sense to take down the video though, because it's the views that make it more valuable.

Listen to the people you want to influence. Get in their heads, and understand their point of view. Be smart enough to know how to bridge the gap between where they are in their thinking, and where you want them to be.
