INAL but even if you did not get paid does not automatically means the result of work for hire belongs to you. If you are a contractor this is a smart thing to explicitly stipulate in the contract.

While I agree with the sentiment of the site, the form they suggest "Hi -- ...." looks ungrammatical. Disclaimer: I am not a native English speaker.

I do not understand why for over a decade Google resists implementing end-to-end encryption in Gmail. For example, it would help with "man-in-the-middle" attacks they are citing as motivation from MTA-STS.

The author should be more careful when hiring remote developers and giving them full access to his account. It looks like he hired some people with the previous history of Play store fraught and Google caught up with them. I run a consultin

It would be nice to see some Unicode things in the example, like arrows, various math symbols, etc. I am looking for a good programming font with the support of math symbols.

Some time ago I've applied Evolutionary Algorithms to the same problem. I did not have much time to develop it further but I think it is another viable approach in addition to ones listed. http://www.crocodile.org/lord&

Not only video ads. They also show regular ads to paid subscribers. If you have an ad blocker they detect it and show a request to disable it! I was pissed off because I am paid subscriber (for many years). So, I emailed them about that and

The pricing is wrong. It is based on the size of the company. It should be based on the number of candidates/resumes in pipeline.

When I noticed that DDG is using (among other sources) Yandex.ru (Russian search engine) index I've stopped using it. It is not a question of privacy but rather a question of trust and bias. Of course YMMV.

When the author mentions "normally distributed numbers" it sounds like he is sampling a normal (Gaussian) distribution. In fact, he is sampling from a uniform distribution.

Cracking down on cafeterias might bring some business to the restaurants, but it takes away business from people running these cafeterias: cooks, cleaning staff, grocery delivery, etc. Most of these people are local. So it is basically re-d

This may be true if you assuming that a degree is only important as a way to get a job. However, if you put a value on stuff they actually teach, getting a good foundation education in your field will make you a better specialist in a long
