Most of us don't. The practice is largely confined to Silicon Valley, and there are plenty of other places for any variety of technologist to work. Why anyone wants to work for Google is beyond me.

In America, you are better off putting it in your sock under your foot. No TSA search includes the bottom of the foot, and you'd have to really arouse CBP suspicion to get them checking out your feet. But, to answer your question, no,

According to the author, the plane may have continued on auto-pilot after the crew had been killed by smoke inhalation. It's a large area to search.

That is not a DMCA takedown request. It is merely a takedown request. The person to whom it was sent has no obligation to comply.

You're confusing "innocent until proven guilty" with a constitutional law question. There is no "presumption" that the executive branch is operating lawfully.

Also, I had a friend with a similar (perhaps worse) story. His company sent every employee an e-mail about being on time, to which he pushed Reply to All and typed "FUCK YOU!" He laughed to himself and went to push the Discard b

Back in my younger days, I once had a project manager who was asking me to make a significant network infrastructure change but refused to tell me why the change was necessary and basically told me to do as I was told. I messaged a coworke

This is what happens when you raise taxes to absurd levels. People leave -- especially the rich. If you have a company that provides products or services globally (instead of a business that requires a physical presence such as WalMart or

Not according to a US District Judge who granted a preliminary injunction against the phone spying. Please don't parrot the politicians who claim legality. The fourth amendment is clear enough to prohibit this government conduct.

To expand on that, PACER charges $0.10 per "page." A single pageview can count as multiple pages, depending on length. They charge for not just actual docs, but for search queries, viewing the docket sheet, etc. The rate is clea

I don't agree that it should be done as a matter of policy. I think that the NSA should be disbanded immediately. Poster above you should speak for himself.

The answer is yes. All travelers arriving on international flights are screened by CBP, regardless of whether they are transit passengers. Before you go through CBP, you must collect your checked bags, which means after CBP, you must be d

This makes you a part of the problem. The government can only take away our freedoms if no one stands up when they try.

I don't see how it would be terribly difficult to undetectably (without key) hide a few bytes of data in the least significant bits of a .jpg. There are likely trillions of images available on the Internet. I would imagine less than 0

Stenography is one of the NSA's worst nightmares. Encrypted strings sent over the Internet they know are encrypted, and often know what algorithm and key length. But the fact that any image can contain an encrypted message, and there

His article is premised on this: "The estimates I’ve heard from smart people that really follow bitcoin are that legitimate transactions are up only about 2-3x from a year ago" That's hardly scientific. I've used Bitcoi

Why? I try to use Google services as little as possible because I feel like they don't respect my privacy. I think it's reasonable that people who bitch and moan about Google but refuse to seek alternatives (they're out the

These three Senators have realized that they can capitalize on public sentiment against the NSA. Good on them... that's what representing the people is about.

In America, no. Then again, Obama seems to think he has the authority to override the law with EOs, but they would likely be struck down by a court if challenged.

FWIW, the correct term is transgendered, but most transgendered people I know are not offended by "tranny." It's all about the context. "That fucking tranny" will be offensive while "I love my tranny, that bi

I don't write open-source software. I also have a backlog of potential clients. If a company demands a Github, I say thanks, but no thanks.
