Doesn't matter if one does it on their own time and on their own equipment. It entirely* depends on any agreements one has with their employer. Moonlighting and intellectual property can get very sticky very quickly. *modulo applicable

It's a lot harder to change citizenship than it is for a Facebook caliber engineer to change jobs. jwz says it best: > If you work for Facebook, quit. It is morally indefensible for you to use your skills to make that company more p

Start with a realistic but not "end times" scenario: something like an extended power outage (2-6 weeks). Be ready to take care of yourself and people in your household. If you've got any leftover time/energy/skills

Ubiquiti's cameras are rock solid, both in terms of hardware and software. And if you don't like their software, the cameras provide a raw RTSP feed you can integrate with other open source alternatives. They're not too hard

Monetarily speaking, I bought TSLA when it was $35 a share and bought into Ethereum during the presale (~$0.35 USD per Ether). I rarely buy individual stocks or securities, and by now I've sold most of everything; the returns have been

I'm just a simple investor and have no ties to the oil industry. I was surprised to learn about the tax incentives for investing in oil: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/oil-tax-break.asp

You don't even need to run a proxy on the linode host: just use ssh's SOCKS proxy (the -D flag). https://mikeash.com/ssh_socks.html Though this might require some more work to avoid DNS MITM, because it only tunne

There was a time when they also tried to get someone who phone screened the candidate to be the lunch host. This way interview candidates would eat with someone they'd already talked with, and had already submitted positive feedback.

You're roughly describing the "Quantum Mind". Critics allege it's been discredited because quantum mechanical processes don't occur on the scale of most neuronal activity. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/w

Try adding ?hl=en to the URL. A similar situation happened to my wife after visiting Germany, we had to edit her cookies and clear the "hl" parameter (IIRC) because various random Google sites were entirely in German.

How accurately can we track CO2 concentration over long timespans? I get that climate science is hard and produces nebulous answers based on arguably nebulous data, but when I read about about ocean acidification and see the long-term graph

Indeed. This reminds me of "Larson Localizers" [1] from Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky": "Among the unsuspecting, they are an espionage miracle. Abused, they lead to ubiquitous law enforcement, an

Too risky for a half-billion dollar ad campaign for "flagship" hardware. Google, while not exactly risk-averse, can be a stingy company in some respects. Everything else you mentioned came out either labeled "beta" or &q

Add on top of that the PRISM program only costs $20m/year. There is just no way a massive nationwide clandestine fiber tap collecting data from companies moving petabytes a day between datacenters can cost a mere $20m/year. The th

This is my thoughts exactly. I cannot imagine any hugely sophisticated data collection infrastructure costing a mere $20m a year. More likely this is software written to take in structured data obtained by subpoena -- as it's generated

James Whittaker was not a "low level employee," he was a director of engineering. This is the same level as Kurzweil. At that level he was responsible for many management decisions, some of them probably "stupid."

You could continue to allow 5mb for each subdomain, but wait until say, 25mb for the sum(*.domain.tld) before prompting. For example, this would allow {www,mail,docs,plus,???}.google.com to continue as they are now until google.com managed
