It's times like these I wish I had enough karma to downvote. Not you, but this article. Typing for pagerank.

Augmented reality is the huge one (think virtual billboards), I'm sure there will be more so obvious in hindsight ideas that come along too.

The traditional meaning of WTF used in that sentence is perfectly fine internet grammar.

Heh you can tell by how crappy it is to work somewhere when the first thing they tell you is how great the people are. And then follow up its sunday night, a working night. (sorry this may be an exception to the rule,and fyi i've probably o

You don't trust them because you either write too much such that it cannot be maintained or because you don't maintain them. This failing is on you. Light comments sprinkled on code which is complex in nature is never a bad thing and improv

Its a joke. One they are keen to take to the courts. It was clear with their original statement. Using their words against them. /popcorn

I trust Tesla a lot more than I trust Google, Facebook, ISP's, or the banks, and they know everything there is to know about me. I do understand what you are saying (perhaps more than most people), I guess we just differ in opinion about ho

I am still unclear, were these diagnostics being sent to a tesla server somewhere or was this information hardlined post review? Source? Also, how is this bad anyway? Google probably has this information already, if not google, your phone's

Assess? That wasn't an assessment, that was FUD.

Can't say I'd call starting out on a 61 mile journey with 32 miles of charge reasonable.

Until Jane leaves for greener pastures. I do understand what you're saying though, there is a time, place, and trade offs for everything related to computing. (imho) Most 'businessy' systems can and should start out as spreadsheets, it le

I hate sounding like a broken record, and this isn't really aimed at anyone in particular (just a few comments have irked me), but if you haven't seen this talk from like a decade ago, please watch it before you post on things concerned wit

Social engineering, name, address and email is enough to own anyone. For most things, maybe not on their own, but having these three keys its pretty easy to track down ph number, dob, and a number of other details. The only reason this pose

"Award winning teacher" waits till after he retires to say the systems fucked. Thanks bro. Good help. (yes I know I don't know the full story but it reads bad)

Im seeing a lot of "averages are bad" etc but I think you come closest to what I had in mind: there isnt anything inherently wrong with using simple metrics. The caveat is you just need to keep in mind and understand their limitations and w

The smugness of this post reaks. Rather unwarranted considering the number of XSS vulns found, I also question their classification of these, XSS in this system entirely breaks their "encryption as a mass product" philosophy. (provided you

Curious, why would you use different line endings? What IDE doesn't have that setting in its config?

Thats not exactly true, and I don't feel it breaks the analogy. Many, many people cannot simply up and leave. Sometimes people are locked in place due to family and lack of alternative employment in the given area. Sounds like you don't hav

Yea that, and they were testing on production like a boss. > We did not sufficiently test the 0.20.2 release of elasticsearch on our infrastructure prior to rolling this upgrade out to our code search cluster, nor had we tested it on an

If transfer of ownership never takes place, then why do they keep trying to call it theft? Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Indeed, IP in general is something I personally disagree with whole heartedly and completely; however, sadly, I do understand the implications and realities we face which make such a stance unworkable. It should be noted, the only reason pe

I think we agree on a few of those points, #4 however, worries me dearly. Did you even read it? But even if all of this were not so, even if artists were indeed suffering (which they aren’t, but parasitic middlemen are), copyright wou

Ugh. He's complaining about commonly known physics abbreviations. Short variable names are fine as long as they are descriptive. The key thing to keep in mind is descriptive to you may not be descriptive to someone else (or future you for t

No, they're using low margins to keep market share, indefinitely. There was an article on HN a couple of weeks ago precisely about this topic, decent read / informative. Link: http://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2012/11/28/amazon-and-margins HN

Something tells me you're not going to be strung up for letting on you prefer older techies; at least, not while most of the industry is the inverse.
