Disagree. This just reinforces the point that best security is multi-layered.

Think about the amount of man hours people have spent deleting these files from repositories, USB drives, archives... They spread like a virus.

Seems to me this would interfere with the accessibility of the website for those that use screen readers.

Interesting. My initial instinct is to compare them to MongoDB which IPO'd about a year ago. They seem to be doing quite well since, but then again, who hasn't in the tech sector? …

Good for them! This will make an excellent case study.

In San Diego, it is legal to ride on the sidewalk, but pedestrians have the right away. I believe this stems from the city's desire to be bike friendly with their inability/unwilli…

Can you elaborate on the legality? In what way are they illegal?

Do you know if the restrictions apply to the electronically assisted "e-bikes". They pretty much operate like a normal bike, but require minimal effort to go up hills. Example: htt…

There is a quiet war brewing between city councils and dockless bike companies. It's tough to say whether cities will embrace a dockless bike/scooter future, or if they will ultima…

How does the popularity of bikes compare to electric scooters? Anecdotally, I see a lot more Bird and Lime S scooters flying around than I do bicycles these days - and we do have d…

I'm from the US, but I noticed that a lot of train stations in Europe had full drug stores inside - with normal drug store prices as well. Super convenient.

"When you consider that much of WeWork’s revenue is likey just VC dollars paying the expenses of their tenants" Is that a known fact or just a guess? The prices are low enough that…

CarMax was originally created under Circuit City? I had no idea! Interesting that they were able to succeed when CC crashed so hard. Today I also learned, via wikipedia, that Circu…

Indeed, and Facebook has the analytics to know what will likely be the next big thing before anyone else. I think the only thing that can stop the cycle is government intervention …

This is just another hit piece against Elon and his companies, this isn't news.

With regard to the self-driving car revolution, last year Intel purchased Mobileye. Just today it was announced that they closed a deal to include their hardware/software in 8+ mil…

With regard to the supreme court case itself, and the question of the credit card merchants having an oligopoly... What's stopping Paypal, Square, Stripe, or even Apple Pay from ma…

Hmm, a Netflix for news. Perhaps you would end up with the same issue as Netflix where content providers raise their prices to the point that the aggregator would develop their own…

You sound rather pessimistic. My comment wasn't meant to apply to a specific website/newspaper per se, but the general state of online news media. Surely you believe someone or som…

My comment wasn't meant to apply to a specific website/newspaper per se, but the general state of online news media.

Nevermind that 3,000 MPH is entirely too slow.

Fascinating. It's a shame that it's so hard to get people to pay for quality journalism. The world will be a dark place if the only news sources left are blogs by self-proclaimed j…

A bit of an aside, but you have to wonder how much electricity they could save on air conditioning by painting their trucks white instead of brown. Perhaps they don't use any AC at…

The physics of this makes no sense...

They state that Aurora "supports the same set of PostgreSQL extensions that are supported with RDS for PostgreSQL 9.6." Which is a yes. PostGIS version 2.3.2, I believe.
