Im sure you get ideas that are below your threshold for engagement... most people do until someone makes them aware and they have an “aha” moment.. Pick a topic, product, food, restaurant, etc. at random and think of (then write down) at le

Why am I not surprised that super-liberal Slate says my right to privacy should be overlooked because some idiot with an iphone wants to record every conversation? Pervasiveness-of-technology should not ever be a reason to obviate the right

Most likely, one of your competitors negotiated a deal where you were deplatformed as a condition. $57M over 13/14 years, or $100M right now... easy choice for Facebook.

Why didn’t he use a binary protocol to convey his disdain for text protocols? Simply because nobody would understand it, which is the entire idea behind text protocols... and language.

Tor does this, fwiw. https://www.torproject.org/ To clarify, you could run Tor on your existing vpn.

That depends on your personal health. 50% deadlier to someone with existing issues that make the more likely to have a bad outcome (death) is worse than 50% more transmissible. The former cannot be managed, but the latter can by isolation o

while i agree this is overly complex given the simplicity of virtualenvs, there is something “pythonic” about encapsulating the environment in a container. I would suggest using alpine containers with python for a ~40mB container, versus th

imho, front end first, then back-end, to be a well-rounded developer. Backend is so deep and so consuming, that knowing how what you do in UX will affect users on the front end is a valuable skill.

Tesla’s not worried... The apple car will cost $300k, only take you to “approved” or licensed destinations, and be replaced in 6 months with newer, “better” model with cooler features. I heard a rumor that tires are extra. lol j/k

sheer genius. Expect a cease-and-desist from Apple since (A) you don’t really own your MacBookPro, and (B) you didn’t use slave labor. Or did you? ;-)

Why anyone would buy new Apple products, arguably the most expensive products in any category, when they support these types of manufacturing slave-labor situations, is beyond me. Funny how you never hear about this type of situation with a

The article wasn’t clear that doppler shift was accounted for, so a statement of fact that the signal was what it was can’t be made until doppler shift is accurately accounted for over time. Higher over time means it’s moving toward, lower

You mean, invasive as in humans? Invasive species are by nature Alpha, to the indigenous Beta. They don’t earn the right to stay, they take it, and it’s the indigenous Betas that must earn the right to stay once invaded if they aren’t kill

Agreed.. as an mvp, yes, but the platform you develop on probably does not offer you a non-disclosure, so anything you deem secret about it, isn’t.

I personally find coding to be a mental exercise that, at least for me, allows me to time travel. If I am engaged in the design of an algorithm, or set thereof, time passes very very quickly and my perception of it is non existent. I have g

I’ve had code stolen by an employee who used it to start a competing service. I sued him in Federal court and won. You didn’t have your code stolen. Your code was free and open, and the header he removed stated that fact. What you had was a

The real question should be: is there a clustering of purchases of those numbers for this draw that is different than the same numbers on other draws? If this was a planned scam, the distribution of purchases would be more tightly coupled t

The problem with this statement is that no computer can test 100B passwords against today’s authentication mechanisms in any meaningful way without being blocked or IP banned. A worm or other distributed mechanism is the only way to test a

Yes.. being post-40 doesn’t inherently lessen one’s ability to learn. Rather, it’s the weight of management of things accumulated over the years that interrupt out natural curiosity and keep us from “learning”. I believe you have to drop so

LOL.. what if those planets ARE inhabited and us sending seed-of-life “goo” is lethal for them, or seen by them as an act of genocide or invasion? What if “an act of science” is the thing that ends us? While equally idiotic a question, it’s

There didn’t used to be a “top” where you are now. Someone became the tech/thought leader and set the standards for what is the top now. When you get there, you are expected to redefine “top”, which has the appearance of making it har

Nope. won’t be buying a new Mac. Installed ubuntu on my current MBP and am very happy. They do look nice, but i’m not gonna pay 3x the price of a similar non-Apple just so they can tell me what I can and can’t run.

DEAR God! They have a monopoly! This is unfair to those who want to compete in the Personal Washboard (PM) marketplace, and this company has a virtual lock on the supply, probably anti-competitive patents too! lol :) Frankly, I’m shocked th

Welcome to the resistance. I’ve been running Ubuntu on my MBP for a year now and have had zero issues, even with the retina display. No special drivers needed, at least for my model. I keep it dual boot so I can work on mobile apps in OS x

Not an attorney, not legal advice... this is what I would do myself. GET REAL LEGAL ADVICE. There are only a few reasons they would want exclusivity. First, they like it so much, they want it to be brand specific. This should be very expen
