Would it be different if you were a founder rather than an employee? I believe the article was talking about your boss, not you.

Well, they're not valuable if the ROI is negative.

It could balance itself out. If not enough people work, BI will drop and some of the people on BI will decide it's worth getting a job to live more comfortably.

Your statement is correct, but not relevant. Even if they had total market dominance, it would be a stretch to compare them to somebody using physical violence, and they certainly don't go out of their way to lock you into using gmail

It's in the catalog, but CS3 doesn't show up on schedule.berkeley.edu for last semester or this one.

CS3 isn't offered anymore. CS10 is the replacement, but it also goes for broader appeal than just being prep for 61a.

There's a difference between what the cops have a right to do and what they will, in practice, do to you if you don't give them the respect they have come to expect. E.g. this story. Nobody, least of all the black community, are s

Is there a sensible way to extend copyright on "active" IP that is still being used in new content, while allowing copyright to expire on "dormant" IP that has been left untouched for years? I don't think it's

I think the government is fundamentally different than a private company or semi-public utility. Their control of law enforcement and military forces are the most relevant here.

Are Truecrypt volumes with similarly bad passwords any harder to crack?

Keeping your family out of work is not the same as giving them the option of not working.

Morally they're equivalent, but practically they're not. While I would like those beggars to receive money, I don't want them to be the exclusive recipients of cash aid, excluding the many poor people who don't happen to

It seems to be a psychological thing. If you get a higher hourly/daily rate to make up for the lack of traditional PTO, you feel even worse about taking unpaid time off because you're "losing" even more money.

The whole point of the comic is that even with that known "simple pattern," you still get higher entropy than a normal password. Obviously a random 64 character string would beat either of them, but if you're expecting a huma

I think the argument is that the EFF wouldn't need to exist if there were far fewer lawyers in the world. I.e. those lawyers are just busy fixing the problems created by other lawyers.

This lawsuit was based on events from a year before the Google acquisition. I'm not saying Google is good or bad, but this isn't evidence of either.

http://wikitravel.org/en/Freighter_travel According to that page, ships must hire a doctor if they have more than 12 passengers, so it's just not worth it for most of them to carry more.

But having a search engine staffed by psychics is almost undeniably more useful. Certainly more creepy, and not a tradeoff many people would be willing to make, but incredibly useful.

Actually, if you want to interpret "endless possibilities" literally, that still doesn't indicate you can use it however you wish. Sets can be infinite in size without containing everything there is.

Assuming it's very smooth acceleration, it's just like standing on a 26º slope, feeling slightly heavier than normal. Healthy individuals should have no problem at all in such a situation.

That's irrelevant. Given the scale of the issue, there is almost no way we could confidently come to any conclusion about him in such a short amount of time. You're free to ignore input from the MSM, but you still need to allow ti

I don't mind the mortgage tax deduction, but it's only fair to add a similar deduction for renters. It should be a "shelter is a basic human need" deduction.

There's a huge difference between "don't disclose information about some ongoing investigations" and "information about these investigations will be classified forever." Many people see the validity of the former. Attacking the latter gets

Presumably an extra hour of free time is worth roughly the same as an extra hour of work, otherwise more people would be working overtime. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, and limits imposed by standard length work days/weeks, but
