There's no one correct way to respectfully flirt, but if you consistently make an effort to be (1) genuine, (2) interested, and (3) confident, you'll often find it's not hard to be…

This is bad information. Certainly it can work out like this, but suing your employer in the US is very very difficult. Most tech workers have even signed away their right to do so…

I've seen this go both ways, it's certainly effective when it does work, but it's sluggish and often won't provide the relief needed by workers in any acceptable time frame.

There were a handful of events like what you describe, but the violence was overwhelmingly inflicted upon protesters by police. This came in the form of physical violence, aiming p…

15% of the US prison population is a huge number of people.

This is addressed in the FAQ[1]. > That three millisecond time doesn't make sense as the timeout for a connect() call. > Yes, I know. And it wasn't the timeout, actually. In the st…

Would anyone mind citing an instance of this toxic Twitter behavior? I don't dispute that individual tweets can be enough to wreck your career in certain circumstances but it's a h…

I like csslayout.io

this sounds like a good idea but in practice, shit rolls downhill. end of the day it just depends on the people above you not being jerks, and if they are there is no trick to over…

how would this compare to something like a Protectli?

The point isn't to fix the problem, in fact they'll probably come out with more problems than they went in with. It's entirely punitive. The cruelty is the point.

It works the other way too. If they're doing a "good" job (usually stated as decreased crime rate relative to recent years) they must be very effective at utilizing their resources…

Well, in the course of my daily work I don't do anything depraved or antisocial, my work simply doesn't require it. If it did I would quit. If your job entails tear-gassing entire …

This is a specious comparison, and you need to consider both the consequences to you of a failure of the business as well as paths of recourse available to the consumer. Consider y…

I feel like a lot of the people I'm around every day know, but since most of my socialization is in a work context we don't talk about it much. Maybe others are similar. Thank you …

It could be done in a 2-line flask app. Josh's blog is about building things using Gatsby and the tooling built around the React ecosystem. So he wrote about how to build it with t…

This is a blog about building static sites with Gatsby. Doesn't feel like the author was endeavoring to do this in the "simplest" way possible, but rather to demonstrate some of th…

You're correct, but you're understating law enforcement's capabilities. They have access to all sorts of databases which you don't have access to "opt-out" from, if that makes sens…

You need to go to each of these sites individually and request an "opt-out". (This is superior to a complete deletion of your data which some offer, because an opt out allows them …

This is a dangerous game. Be aware that just because it might not seem like anyone is using these data against you right now, doesn't mean they won't in the future.
