Health insurance companies do actually care, unfortunately. They're incentivized to embrace higher prices since they have to spend at least 80% of premiums on payouts. If you have …

That's a good point. I definitely have too much of a US-centric view on this as I'm not very familiar with the project and was assuming at least a few of the major people involved …

My guess is that RIAA will pursue it until they either win legally or exhaust and frighten everyone away from it and it becomes a much less powerful tool. It's not like DMCA notice…

The problem with this is that DMCA isn't the only option the RIAA has by a long shot. The DMCA is a tool to get a platform to stop hosting content the rights holder believes is inf…

If it truly is a national security concern and not politics, this should be the obvious conclusion. How do we know some Facebook employee isn't siphoning data to the CCP right now?…

Looks interesting! You mentioned in the docs that it would be simpler once abstractions develop and that made me realize it's similar to facebook/dataloader, just used across reque…

I came across this last night ( http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2018/09/28/the-relative-performa... ) and went down the rabbit hole of Rust and its BTreeSet ( http://cglab.ca/~abeinges…

This implies women aren't capable of earning success in any way other than trading sexual favors. Also, there's a huge difference in hookup culture and casual flings vs being in a …

The title on this seems pretty misleading. This is really a guide on how to use the escapeshellarg when you should use escapeshellcmd (or the opposite). Of course, the API of syste…

It doesn't have built in support for it since it's just using dnsmasq under the hood, but you can install something like dnscrypt-proxy and then configure pi-hole (i.e. dnsmasq) to…

I'm not quite sure you can just hand wave away the harmfulness. It's very possible that a lot of people would feel highly violated by it. It basically takes away your control over …

It's more like running valet parking and leaving other people's cars unlocked. Yeah, you should update your process so that your drivers lock the cars, but oh man, that's kind of h…

It's not officially part of the Pi Hole project, but I've been using https://hub.docker.com/r/diginc/pi-hole/ for about six months on a Raspberry Pi (though they support other plat…

The only company I've worked at with an ESPP required you to hold the stock for 1 year before selling--not in the sense of tax incentives unfortunately, but you literally cannot se…

It's important to remember that this is putting all of your eggs in one basket to a certain extent though. Your income, your 401k match, and your ESPP are all tied to your employer…

I think at most it's an exaggerated premise, not false. There's tons of evidence that it does exist, though there is much debate over what exactly the percentage of the gap is. It'…

One aspect is that arbitration agreements almost always block class action lawsuits which can be hugely advantageous to a company. If a group of people have their rights or contact…

Exactly! In fact, that's embarrassingly concise given my rambling. The only major thing missed is that the hash input has to contain something that the attack doesn't know in addit…

Authentication in this context means baking in a way to verify that what you receive is something you encypted and has not been altered. Or, in other words, it lets you know that t…

> Callbacks, promises, generators are all there to essentially make async code sync I think they actually do quite the opposite: they keep async code async. JavaScript doesn't real…
