Sure this is a joke, but it's not crazy to think about a distributed commit log as the basis for distributed messaging. That's why I'm starting GitQ, a ZeroMQ-like distributed messaging framework that offers full auditability

It's not likely that any of these employees can reasonably claim a tort or breach of contract here. The company messed up, but luckily it's not illegal to disappoint your employees. Not that I think Theranos should not face some c

Seriously. You can get a decent smartphone, new and unlocked, for like $50 now. The market has just expanded hugely so of course entries like this, which vie for "best phone in the world" status, are going to be higher price.

Teams that have achieved "mind meld" didn't just start there, never needing much communication. When you see this, it's usually because the team has had excellent communication together for many months/years, to the

I don't see why it should be so polarized. You can care enough about money to understand the components of your compensation. You can also care about quality of life enough to make decisions that trade money earned for other goals. The

This isn't about pretending everyone has the same abilities. It is about focusing reinforcement on the choices and actions a kid takes rather than on characteristics they have. By reinforcing the action, you help a kid understand that

If that's true, then this crash certainly points out the value of integrating those systems to better identify potential collisions.

And if it is dozens of corporations, there's no reason they wouldn't just absorb the insurance function. Right now because insurance is bought by consumers there's tremendous value in having a recognizable consumer-facing bra

I don't think those algorithms are applicable here, because it's normal (even good) for investors to invest in multiple companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem The logical optimizatio

I think this exploit requires local administrative access. If an attacker already has this, you're pretty screwed to begin with. In other words, while this could definitely make an attack more damaging and harder to remove, it doesn&#x

Looks like the service is an IP lookup API. The sort of thing that many sites will hit once for each visitor. Most SaaS sites will never get anywhere near this, but things that do per-user or per-pageview queries (e.g. usage analytics) can

Yes. If you can generate a very large list of prospects, emailing them works too.

Yes, this. It seems almost too obvious but a few interviews can be incredibly revealing. You should also do this with your exising happy customers, and ask them how they'd explain the value to someone else.

Are you guys profitable? I feel like it's super hard to be profitable for any length of time in any developer tools business, because there are many perceived alternatives including build-it-yourself. In contrast, if you want to build

Of course not. This is just a clarification about another point of law that a typical drug dealer violates, which gives law enforcement yet another angle. In some cases proving tax evasion is easier than proving other crimes. This is what g

In the mid-80s, you reported income to the IRS as coming from a marijuana business? Bold move. Is there a statutory prohibition on the IRS sharing this info with other law enforcement agencies? Where is the line, i.e. would you expect confi

A few reasons: - There's one widely accessible database where resumes can be found. Since many people want to be found by prospective employers, this gives them an obvious place to put it. - The resume format can be standardized, so yo

And yet, when you place someone in a position where they are tired and nervous, this is the sort of behavior you get. Whether or not they are innocent. It's almost better to take as a cautionary tale about acknowledging your limits. Ma

This seems excessively harsh. I didn't see the author say anything about expecting special treatment or rejecting the value of a standardized work visa system. As far as I can tell, she made a number of reasonable assumptions that some

This is the promise of type inference. Languages like Elm that do a good job inferring types are able to play out potentially invalid implications of how your code uses values without requiring you to separately specify all your types in gr

I like the question about a great manager as a way of learning from others' experience. Do you find that it's useful in assessing the candidate as well? Are there good and bad answers to that?
