This is pretty cool. Closest thing I've seen to text steganography [1]. Probably more efficient (I tried to encode a 1.000 character message, and the encoded message ended up being…

That's the way to do it - you can also use the tool interrogate: https://github.com/carmaa/interrogate /shameless plug

Yep, in San Jose.

I feel that we may be ignoring the psychological aspects of having a strong BATNA here. It's easy to say that you should just "ask for a better offer", but it is waay easier to act…

Never name a range. Ask for 15, 20 or 25% more, based on what you want. If someone comes to me asking for 15-20% more, I'm going to offer them something below the low end of the ra…

Over time, yes. Your statement about physical access == compromise is missing that crucial detail. There's no reason why someone should be able to access all your data just because…

From BofA's guidelines on online privacy and security [1]: "Protect your Online ID and Passcode. You should always guard your Online ID and Passcode from unauthorized use. If you s…

Hahaha! No, seriously. WTF?

From the article that has ceased to be: --- We have been doing a lot of interviewing at Referly lately, and my team asked me to share an interview question we get the most mileage …

She forgot to factor in the dealbreaker; the fact that engaging in a startup (or any other intensive work if you ask me) with your significant other is a major risk in itself, and …

What am I supposed to do at work now?

Your logic is flawed; just because password complexity doesn't mitigate some of your carefully constructed scenarios, doesn't mean that it's useless. You even mention up some of it…
