No, I'll grant you it's nothing about the content of the article, but rather I don't trust the Bloomberg brand after their handling of the Big Hack story.

I'm torn between whether I should distrust this site because it's pretending to be associated with Bloomberg ... or if I should distrust this website because it may actually be associated with Bloomberg.

So, if the old key is public, we can't use DKIM to verify any leaked emails that were acquired after the publication date? Sounds suspiciously like somebody's thinking ahead on how to plausibly deny some yet-to-be-leaked emails.

Discussions over what math is worth teaching often focuses on what specific skills end up being used in some practical context. But my feeling is that the real value of teaching math is how it introduces whole categories of abstract thinkin

To me, this isn't a real counterexample, even at the height of MS's EEE, it was never at the expense of developer tooling, it was at the expense of openness. In fact, improving developer experience was the primary lever MS used to

It is, indeed really hard to take micro-scale editorial corrections like this while they leave unresolved what is at BEST an eggregious lapse of editorial judgement.

Strictly in terms of appearances, I think Antonovs look really nice. Granted, it was rare to see one in a western airport even in the best of times.

It's increasingly looking like an unpopular opinion, but Quibi to me seems like an obviously sound business strategy. It's seemingly skating where the puck is going through numerous media consumption trends. At worst, this short-t

I'm not an expert, but I like the question a lot. My best guess from some scrolling through industrial parts ordering websites is that they're called "pistol grip levers". Here's a couple examples found using that a

This discussion always seems to me like such a tunnel-vision engineering mindset. Airlines are companies, they don't optimize for boarding throughout, they're optimizing for revinue. If they can charge more for a ticket that exemp

This is from 2017. IIRC it was quite widely reported then as well.

Although I don't think it's an extraordinarily novel concept, something about the framing of "Gumption Traps" [1] in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance resonated with me strongly, and sensitivity to them has help

Since I work in technology, people would sometimes ask for my help fixing a computer, to whom I would clarify: no, no, no, I'm a Software Engineer -- I'm the person responsible for breaking the computers.

I recently wondered this myself. The best I could determine from Wikipedia [1] of what's known publicly is that it's seemingly an artifact of when the project began. The theory being that it was allotted a designation before the &

In tone this reminds me of the fable of the "Cat Town" in the novel "1Q84" by Haruki Murakami.

The response from script.google.com is a 302 redirect to script.googleusercontent.com. IOW, google.com itself does not serve that user content.
