You don't think it's censorship if at any time, for any reason, someone can induce them to take down any post by claiming libel? Well, I might agree with that, but it would also make every site useless.

When I interviewed at Garmin they gave me a couple pages of their actual code and asked me to point out the bugs they introduced to it. Thirty pages seems like a bit much for an interview, but I definitely like the idea. Most jobs you&#x2

When Netflix had their contest to improve recommendations, one of the common first-pass techniques on the forums was to zero-adjust the ratings for each user. It's hard to imagine that a big-data company of Google's size couldn&#

Most people aren't verifying that the cert doesn't change every time they visit a site though - if they have Verisign sign a new cert and replace the old one 99% of users will never notice, because their browsers won't yell a
