So the simplest way to avoid getting exploited is to always run wireshark? Sounds better than an out of date AV solution! (and cheaper)

Once again, building on FB api == bad idea. Sadly, FB has eaten so much of the world - there may not be much of an alternative.

Really? Average cost per year to own a car is $9000 per the AAA website. Car storage has its own cost to cities - because parking lots generate no /little property taxes or sales tax. Many Americans disagree about the value of walkabil

You are surprised to learn that your particular experience is not the norm. In fact studies have shown devoting vast expanses of land to parking is economically bad. See : Stroup "The high cost of Free parking" and the http:&#x2F

VTA has the routes that look good but in practice don't coordinate in weird ways, For example try to get from parts of Sunnyvale to Google.

A big problem San Jose has is that they stuck their airport in the middle of the city. Height limits are imposed along the air traffic patterns. (Not that the other parts of San Jose are any better.) As an historical note, the key planner&#

Ummm... all the time? Seriously, Most of Europe is further north than Maine. Copenhagen and Amsterdam - 2 big cycling/transit cities get plenty of snow and rain. U.S. wrt transit is "special" because we don't spend money

Sounds like your company runs a pretty marginal business. A worker that is making $10/hr ($20K / year ) now makes $15 / hr or $30K /year doesn't add the $10+K in extra value. When I hear about companies that are not

I think the key is to get past the "mediocre/o.k." skill level . The problem with going deep is picking the right discipline. Since you may pick wrong initially, going broad first allows a chance to pivot to a different skill

I second this ... find the gap between 2 different skills is so valuable. Think of it this way: 1. skill to know the problem that needs to be solved. 2. skill needed to solve the problem Second skill isn't necessarily programming compu

I wonder if a landline is more secure from transfer? Anyone know if the procedure for transferring landlines is more painful for fraudsters?

I find this incredibly sad. Plenty great products/languages have died because of poor documentation, poor respect for beginners. Yet... here the Scala community is... repeating the past and justifying with the same reasons. I personall

It would have been nice if the article spent a paragraph or two on what constituted a trapdoor prime. The only thing I saw was that trapdoors were close to a power of two. All tease, no delivery.

That may not be a problem. The article states that other services are not subject to the lay -- but are not regarded as a problem. Sounds like the proponents know this and are willing to accept a imperfect solution

I hate all the internet shaming that goes into this. Everyone on the internet feels that they get to judge a parent's parenting ability. Some kids are more responsible than others. I was handling myself at age 6 in Europe. I was naviga

This is to stop people from gaming the system. For example: a company founder started offering stock options but only to their children. This would allow a parent to pass their company to their children avoiding estate taxes.
