So given the conversations on record and quoted in the article about certain treasurers deliberately doing the least effective actions and anticipating the "legal" right to claim a property, you're still going to claim that t

Just skipping the conversation and invoking Godwin's Law right off... bold strategy...

Just rename it steerage, and you're resurrecting fine old nautical tradition.

Don't downvote this, look up James Buchanan and his 'corporate freedom' school instead, and then come back and say they're wrong.

Look into WalMart's operations in Mexico, where they've bribed officials into deliberately overlooking protective legislation for historical areas, just so they could get visible placement of stores to catch tourists. Amongst many

Or you can use the Navigator app by someone else, that has a free option, nothing feeds to the Google monster, and behaves pretty much exactly like an old style GPS device with some modern additions. Good enough indeed.

I will admit I haven't gone researching for attitudes of people from the rest of China, and I'm rarely on any social media sites, so I haven't seen much except whats been posted in a couple of channels from a very few people

I used the word sparse deliberately: I have only seen two news reports involving mainland Chinese citizens visting Hong Kong and commenting on their observations. Both were surprised, almost shocked, that the rioting, damage to public and p

I think it's instructive to realize that mainland Chinese people are being fed state propaganda about "rioters" destroying HK and demanding independence, thus their opinions should be weighted lesser on the issue accordingly.

Maybe some of these companies see DoodleDocs and wonder if you'd be a bad fit for a CRUD type position? Like, you've already gone beyond a lot of those basic needs, so why would you "step down" to a CRUD job?

What does a career or reputation matter when there's billions of dollars floating around, and you can quietly disappear to a fully funded retirement (out of all the spotlights of course) fifteen minutes after you make whatever stateme

Had a KSR-33 wired up to a Synertek single-board 6502 kit... never did get the paper tape working, but man was it weirdly cool to be typing on a 50 pound behemoth to put numbers in the 2kB memory of a 6 ounce PC board.

I imagine an ant's drag coefficient is fairly high... and combined with the relative strength of the exoskeleton, they may as well be a powered armor trooper equivalent.

False equivalency: When the manufacturer fails to secure PII, plus location history, plus control points of the car's internals, etc etc... that's far worse, more obscured, and much more in need of public disclosure than "do

And here I thought reputation, value exchange, and being a good corporate citizen were what made a company worthwhile and respectable. Thanks for showing your position on the side of "money first people second, if at all".

Then they need to be called on every instance of hypocrisy in word and deed. If every company lies... maybe there's a learning point there.

No, but I have read stories of auto APIs that are as broken as "change the user ID at the end of the request string, and you can see the entire account details of any other registered user". That sort of incompetence makes me paus

After being in the Weapons Department of a submarine crew, I generally swear by checklists, or a tthe very least, not just a 'let's think about this' session but as close to a walkthrough as I can manage. Vacation planning?

by zentiggr 7y ago
Yeah, no, not doing that unless I get to security audit their code end-to-end. Have you seen the stories of auto APIs being completely unsecured, or just flat broken? No password, no.

Look into the inflationary portion of the BB timeline, and also add in the fact that those shockwaves have had the same 13.8B years to expand and dissipate. The CMB variations _are_ the remnants of that initial period, attenuated after all

Unless there's been a foundational shakeup, I'd be wary of Tizen. There have been numerous reports of horribly shoddy development practices and massive bugs. Never used a Samsung myself so I'm just remembering stories.
