There are two parts to this. First, we don't know how the conversations went between Uber and the vitcims, because both viticms seen to have the impressions Uber would report this to the police, which is odd given the viticms should re

Good question. There is Salvation Army, which accordingly to the comparison to Red Cross, has done extremely better job, delivering its mission well. But why didn't orgs like FB or Google (I forgot which) advertized SA? SA is well-know

Yeah. I think old technology works. Just a human soldier vs a robot; sure robots can shoot better if we get to that stage, but you can't hack a human... or you can use a frying pan to kill a sniper if you happen to sneak on him... (PUB

Nuclear warhead security has always been problematic, not just the facility producing the materials. Watch [1] because reading the rest just make everyone dizzy. Our launch protocol relies on very outdated technology. Not that there is anyt

I'd say every single company sitting on billions of assets are on the target list. Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Uber, everyone (although Microsoft is the least attacked here). But the illusion here is we only see the b

Uber sort of already experimented a reward system, but limited to customers who own Captial One credit card, at least in my experience. See [1]. They stopped this but it was not a bad reward system when I was consistently using Uber for a w

It is important to note OpenShift predated Kubernetes. RH reimplemented the underlying platform by adopting Kubernetes only a few years ago.

No. Imagine a manager... you still have to maintain the team until you are gone. Otherwise you will get more angry emails and more angry calls from the upper management despite you are "fired". It's a torture, because you kno

Here are reasons why one can't: * you shouldn't work for a job you are not going to be happy about (of course you can't be too picky) * because interview sucks (numerous highly regarded engineers were turned down by big tech

The painful thing is being asked to stick around for a few more weeks or sometimes a couple months for a transition. That sucks, because you join daily standup, have tickets in your queue, but you have to pretend you care... Go to meetings

You are unemployed. You just have some money around for a few months (usually 3 months) to look for a new job. It's tough out there to get a new job, even senior engineers have hard time getting through interviews.

Wowowo, 195k employees? So many! Do they really make that much of money? What are the 195k workers for? Dell has way less as a whole company (even after the merge) [1]. [1]: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4104846-dell

They don't need to improve Android that way. Google already know how to push Android forward through marketing research. Even though $1 billion dollar is a penny to Google, they didn't have to go through all that trouble if they w

I am confused. What kind of things? Google's intention is not to improve Android. They know what features people want. What they want is to expand their business in consumer hardware. This could be useful for technology such as Google

You still don't get it. This does not mean Google has the whole IP. In simple terms, what Google gets is not the best deal if what they can access are also available to other competitors for a deal. Get it now? You usually want to have

That's what I meant. They have access, but what is really not clear is whether they have access to the exclusive IP. If they don't, they would have to strike for another agreement. This is not noted in this announcement, which mak

Sadly, as far as I know, Paypal only allows SMS. I believe business account, you cannot link your Paypal to Braintrees and thus you cannot use any 2-auth authenticator. If I am wrong, please correct me, but I see no other options on Paypal,

The "non-exclusive" bit is actually quite important here. This means anyone can get IP from HTC, and I am not sure if that's a good deal at all, if Samsung comes along to pour down couple billions. What isn't clear is wh

Nope. Samsung would not have survived. First their stock price will drop as soon as they announced the departure from Android. The market would not have any confidence in any alternative, because history has taught us well. Second, as other

The problem is VPN is now banned unless it's recognized by the state (must be registered). You can still try to use the underground VPN, but not guaranteed. The GFC knows everything in and out. It is one of the most acclaimed and sophi

Anything secret involves a master key. If you don't trust AWS, then you need to supply your own master key. But for most setup, IMO, you should just let AWS handle the key management, and you use role to decrypt. Rotation is a big deal

I am referring to limiting password to a small number. Of course no one should take in a password > 32 characters. bcrypt has limitation itself. A reasonable and practical limit is 32, so we can prevent DoS attack because encrypt/de

Limiting character is wrong because the space is totally limited. Plenty of "important" websites do that and I go sigh. I use different password for different types of services for that reason. If we don't limit number of cha
