Was it ever implied or said that his account was breached? It seems more likely that they are coming from the accounts of recipients at the DNC, based on the context of the article.

This is pretty much exactly why I stopped entertaining offers in the Bay Area. I was flown out once for an interview, but a few hours of driving afterwards around areas I had been looking to live basically made me swear off the whole area.

The east cost still has plenty of suburbs, they are just slightly higher density than what you might see surrounding LA or San Diego. See the MD-DC corridor, with almost no public transit except light rail, but townhouses are abundant. Peop

If you aren't particularly attached to the area/house, it might be time to cash out and move somewhere more reasonable.

I've also lived all over the US, and the culture difference between NY or SF and nowhere, ID is, many times, less than the difference can be between many places in the US and Canada.

This is definitely an interesting aspect of human psychology that some places seem to be able to work around, like Google, which from what I understand is able to compensate their employees well relative to the market without them needing t

I think this is true only to the point of perceiving that you are compensated correctly relative to the market, i.e. that you can't switch jobs tomorrow and get a 10% or greater pay raise. After that definitely the motivations put fort

I think more radical salary transparency across the board would help salary equality between the sexes more than anything else, honestly. I(a male) was being radically underpaid for the first few years of my career simply because I hadn&#x2

I'd have to look, but most of them started developing symptoms in their 60s and it had progressed to needing full-time care by their 70s, so not super-early onset but early enough to be pretty devastating. I hadn't thought about p

I'm pretty sure the market has been expecting another Tesla cash raise at some point before the Model 3 launch. Maybe not one that is happening quite this soon, but I don't think this is a major shock. I expect this might be a lar

You're right, it could turn out to be a horrible idea. Based on the compounds involved and how they work in the body, I don't think so, but please do your own research as to its safety and efficacy, don't take my word for it.

For anyone that may be interested, you can currently get a very good amyloid plaque reducing drug over-the-counter. [1] It is generally recognized as safe beyond a mild stimulatory effect, but don't take it while trying to get pregnant

They didn't go into the number of ways packets can be lost inbetween the sender and receiver. In my experience it is generally some small corruption at some point that causes the IP or ethernet checksum/CRC to fail and the packet

Dan Geer's refusal to get a clearance is more an experiment than a principled refusal, in case anyone was curious.

I could see Synergy for a workstation, but eventually one of the turtles on the way down will most likely have a keyboard/mouse connected to USB. Headless for servers certainly.

And there are statistics tests one can use to determine if one's performance meets those statistical parameters to be random. Many funds and managers beat it over the long term, such as Warren Buffet, but the vast majority indeed do no

In terms of using equity to exercise voting rights, you complete give up those rights when you buy into an index fund. So to a large extent, the voting policies of Vanguard and other index fund managers can matter a lot, especially if they

There's also the effect where, say, an S&P 500 Index Fund is replicating the index not by purely buying each individual component but by replicating the return of the constituent sectors of the index. In this way, it is possible(li

Whoops, my confusion came from the fact that the article was talking about it being made on a 28nm process, and I thought the criticism was China would be unable to fab it.

That obviously won't work, since laws are subject to the whims of elected officials and constituents that can change them through NIMBY lobbying, and they need to get past those NIMBYs in the first place. See: SF Bay Area development r
