By "coming to your rescue," it doesn't mean actually coming... It means just call the cops at least. Instead, they asked her to call cops then let cops call them to get address. It…

In China, many people invest their money in properties. So, you would have a well-off household owns more and more apartments just for safekeeping. I would imagine it's a good oppo…

Companies and products get their reputation damaged often because of the people who answer the call lack of common sense and empathy... At the same time, they expose the problems m…

I read up on some of DCMA stuff, it does seem to allow some degree of reverse engineering in U.S..

This is exactly the problem with legality of RE and penetration testing. "You broke the law by wasting our time, violating your license agreement." I understand author's points. No…

I was pointing to the practice of flattening code.

Freeing up 20% RAM with a trade off of 14% increase in ROM usage is fine and all... Code readability is kind of an issue here as well.

Great work! Very useful! It would be nice to have quick search filtering feature though.

It looks pretty and all. How is it different from LinkedIn? I'm always weary getting myself on another "social network" thing instead in the end getting my data sold - or worse - s…

A fellow coder friend of mine leaves smartphone and all electronic devices outside the bedroom door before sleep. Also, spend 1 hour before bed doing something like reading or chor…

No one wants to hear that they are wrong, even if you proved it unless you already have their respect, or you are their boss. All programmer will hear is that "you are not doing go…

I think I am being HNDoS'ed... I need to get back to work really... really!

That's good. I don't know. I've never read their policies.

That's pretty cool. I wonder if it violates Google's AUP.

I don't know if it's fair to compare him to Mao, as Mao's reputation is pretty bad in the west. The general feel of this article is like: oh, he's pretty cool, well, anti-corruptio…

I see your point. It would be nice to have that.

What do you propose as a solution to Hobson's choice?

I don't know. It seems reasonable to at least provide the options. It sort of like paying to get rid of Ads on the apps, except it's privacy, much more controversial. I bet there a…

I agree. Integrity is mostly subjective. It has two meanings: 1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. 2. the state of being whole and …

tl;dr former heroine user was good for a couple of years, being productive and successful, relapsed and robbed a bank, executed unsuccessfully, committed suicide by police. Who kne…

I don't get it anymore... 8-16 GB RAM for what? I have not used Chromebook. Do you all use it for gaming? For serious computation? with only 32-64 GB SSD? For this price, it would …

Good point, until I started chatting with old folks early 5am in the morning at IHOP. Now I'm filled with Vietnam era dirty jokes and feeling not-so-virtuous anymore.

plus going home take a nap in the mid of day for commuting people is just difficult...

I wonder if FERPA, PCI-DSS apply here. We know they are vulnerable about student information, with extra functionality as a payment card, it is getting kinda scary.

Very interesting. I attended OSU. I bet most of universities have the similar kind of security holes. They probably use the fact that not too many people can exploit those technica…
