I've been thinking of moving to Poland from the U.S. for a few months now. This sort of thing doesn't necessarily make me not want to go, but it does make me angry how the U.S. and other countries treat the majority of the world l

Right? Because destroying your liver and making an ass of yourself is too difficult and too expensive. So let's make an easily concealable, I'm guessing odor free version of idiot juice so that alcoholics can even more easily kill

I don't think that idiot kids should be encouraged to communicate threats. Not in America, anyway. Why? We also have a crazy gun culture. That sort of thing can get you killed. Besides the fact that it's very disrespectful.

I don't trust a cryptography tool that the NSA says is secure when they openly and proudly spy on US citizens. Centers of Academic Excellence? They are probably also involved in the School of the Americas. Just calling something a scho

Exactly my point. An organization like the NSA can say "Oh, yeah. We've had great success. We can't tell you what it was, of course. Just take our word for it. What's that you're typing there? Don't want to tel

Why should we assume that SELinux is secure? I would suspect that if there was NSA involvement then it is necessarily less secure because they would want to be able to access it at will.

Are there any cases where the actions of the NSA are in any way beneficial to US citizens? Can they show that they have ever done anything positive at all? Have they saved a single life? Stopped a single threat? Or are they too busy jerking

While there's no evidence (yet) that the NSA knew about or exploited this bug, I would not be the least bit surprised if they did. Honestly, my first thought when reading about Heartbleed was "I wonder how much the NSA paid the co

I am absolutely shocked at how simple it is for this sort of fraud to take place. If someone calls GoDaddy, for instance, and says "Hi, I'd like to transfer a domain name. Here's all of my proof that I am who I say that I am.

I've never heard of this brand before today. And thus I'd never seen this post before you posted it here. Now, my mission is to move to a city that is served by Eat24 and to give them my money. These guys are very smart - they had

Is it? I wonder how one's sense of fairness is altered by their relative emotional state? For instance, someone who has been emotionally compromised by seeing scenes of brutality may well vote a harsher penalty on the perpetrator of a

My grandfather, who was chief detective for the PD in the town in which I grew up, broke my childhood heart when he explained to me how unreliable polygraph tests are. I had seen so many thriller films and detective films that relied on pol

The government isn't going to abandon printing entirely, ever. There are too many people who need access to documents who don't have printers, too much information that is too sensitive to email back and forth, and too many govern

Oh I was thinking about a collaboration scenario. Something next door to pair programming where two people are working on a document together but just not simultaneously.

This is awesome and it makes me wonder about other potential capabilities. Could a similar method be used to create two-way text chat, for instance?

Ah interesting. Would price volatility make this practice too difficult? Or would the market eventually reach a basic equilibrium price?

How does this work for a coffee shop that does not exchange bitcoin for dollars? Say they sell a medium coffee for $4.44 (that's the price I pay for my coffee at my normal "spot.") Or you can pay, say, .002 BTC (I'm gues

On an iPad I long-tapped one of the plates and the highlight animation got really funky.

Very true. And honestly I'd rather be stabbed to death (I think) than go nuts. Especially if I were aware of it. This is why I'm terrified of things like Alzheimer's.

It's stories like this that make me hope that I will bust out a killer app within the next year or two. As a programmer I've been hacking at code since my late teens, just like most devs, but I never took it seriously until about

I'm sorry, what? If a guy has been doing a job for longer than you then he can't possibly have more experience than you? Isn't "experience" "doing"?

I think it's that people have a hypothetical difficult choice. In gen-pop you can get stabbed to death or raped or beaten because while there are a few social heroes fighting the system that wind up in prison there are also killers and

I have very mixed feelings about this kind of thing. There are thousands of people that are basically in jail simply because they aren't white. Or who have ridiculous sentences because the judge wanted to make an example of them. But t

Ah yeah that's a good point. And I guess it's in the big tech's interests to keep smaller companies under staffed.
115.
by zacinbusiness 13y ago
I guess so. But also it doesn't seem that companies are artificially keeping wages low. I mean if an engineer at a tech company isn't happy with his salary then he wouldn't have taken it in the first place, right? It's n

I'm confused about this entire situation. If I own a company in the US then it's my right to not hire from someone else's company if I so choose, yes? And in the case of tech giants then there is a lot of proprietary tech kno

This is a very cool concept and I love how it can work together with AirBnB. If there were a similar platform for long-distance travel then I think the sharing economy will help people explore the world in amazing new ways. Not that ride-sh

I prefer working on contracts that are renewed every now and then. In that way my contributions are constantly evaluated and if for some reason I'm not producing results then there's not a lot of drama involved in letting me go. A

Love my standing desk. It's actually a drafting table that's raised up and is perfect for me. And I stand on a yoga mat which I also use to do light yoga during my work day. But this looks like a great option also as it's adj

Yeah, any business worth working with will be willing to pay you normal wage regardless of where you're working from.
