Wow. Busted on wire fraud and money laundering. This is the first I’ve heard of an arrest for this kind of scam. I always assumed it was too small time for law enforcement to bother with.

I’ve been wondering the same thing about the iPad Mini. My mom and mother-in-law both have the same vintage (v1, I think) and both complain of browser crashes when loading some web sites and playing video on Facebook. My guess is it’s a com

It depends a lot on the project and your immediate team situation. As an example of what’s possible, look what happens over pull requests, email, and chat in open source projects. Shared goals, shared communication mechanisms -> stuff ge

I revisited these databases recently while researching if any serverless redis options are available. BDB is under Oracle. Some people may not want to navigate the white papers and pricing questions to get to the database. TokyoCabinet appe

Calc is so useful to have right there. I have never used Windows calc since discovering the emacs one many years ago. Once I got used to it I had to find an RPN one for my phone (RealCalc and PCalc for Android and IOS, respectively). Algebr

Mostly no annual fee in the US, or if there is a fee you are getting some worthwhile rewards or benefits out of the deal.

I'm told national labs won't touch Lenovo PCs since superfish (despite the fact that from what I can tell business models were not affected). Is HP next?

He draws interesting lessons from his life that you don’t hear all the time from famous people. One example is the ultimate priority of family responsibilities over money, skills, work, etc. He comes out strongly against divorce due to the

I first heard of Frank Abagnale when adjunct professor Edward Amoroso told my information security class at Stevens that Catch Me If You Can was the best book he ever read. A few weeks later he jokingly berated the class when a quick poll s

That’s what I was thinking. It’s also great PR for the FBI to demonstrate competence and an optimistic outlook in a time when DOJ is taking hits from the executive branch and the rank and file get no public defense from the AG.

It’s all about putting fraud liability completely on the bank and not on yourself for the duration of an investigation. And building credit.

Hmm. I’ve been using WindowSpace for years for snapping and centering, but it doesn’t support customization beyond sizing sides and corners. I will check out divvy.

That percentage has been and will be debated forever, even by proponents of the Browne PP model, but 4x25 has done well as recently as the past two decades. Also the exact number is not all that critical. Earlier versions of Browne’s portfo

$10-20 at most banks. It’s no ACH but not bad if you’re doing it once a year for safety.

Times were different when Browne was practicing and refining his system. His book Fail-safe Investing talks about using Swiss banks and holding gold there. My understanding is today the Swiss don't want to deal with the headaches that

Does anyone ever want to annotate threads or messages with notes like next actions or why you didn’t reply? I always thought it should be built into gmail, but I suppose an add-on would work.

Yes. At the other end of Indiana there are small towns continuing to do well due to the RV industry (which only seems to grow). At least in the town I'm from the DG is always busy. OTOH in Indianapolis we also have dollar stores but no

I’m surprised that Don Reinertsen’s book The Principles of Product Development Flow doesn’t come up in these discussions. Rich Hickey mentioned it once after a conference years ago and that’s the only time I’ve heard it mentioned. I’ve sinc

Nice. I’m going to think about using ad hoc tags like this to tame my monolithic orgmode hierarchy. Is there not an API in Evernote to query the notes? Seems like getting the last few weeks’ worth, sorting, and dumping to html or pdf would

Probably accidental here, too, in that the C code was older and larger. There was no good answer for the question of why C# was different, so the change was made. The only downside would be if I worked on someone else’s project with differe

Opening brace on a new line is the default, but VS has excellent granular settings in this area. I was tired of having different standards for C and C#, so at one point we switched our defaults and ran a utility to convert all our C# code.
