I'm always connected to a VPN that I set up on throwaway cloud servers from AWS, digitalocean, or whatever your preference is. Even on my phone. So all you'd see from me is encrypt…

I wrote a program to solve chess once. After I realized that it would take a massive amount of computing resources to finish in my lifetime, I abandoned the project. Most interesti…

I probably spend just as much or more time sitting, thinking, and staring at partially written code, than I do actually writing the code. It's frustrating when you have superiors w…

Also I never thought I'd be quoting scripture, but this is a fitting passage! "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them" ... "So when you give to th…

I've never been out of the country. Will I one day? Sure, but it's not like I have a burning desire to leave tomorrow and spend significant amounts of time and money at some touris…

Good job, you made a review site? Sorry I know I sound negative but you made a simple review site for domain registrars in an attempt to make commissions from those registrars, and…

Relevant to who/what? Netflix didn't write the article. It depends who's perspective you're looking at. The article could have been titled "Yahoo's new CIO accused of accepting kic…

He forgot the last one: "to use python instead" That was my attempt at a joke. But seriously, I love python when it comes to manipulating data and doing anything statistical. You'v…

One more thing-- Would google publish data that shows how searches for porn spike during different times of the day or times of the year, as if it's some "cool and hip and edgy!" i…

Comparing Uber to OKCupid is ridiculous. OKCupid is a dating website which deliberately branded themselves as further on the "edgy" and "hookup" side of dating websites. Then you h…

Imagine if Uber CEO made a comment like Elon Musk did about the "D" in P85D and having "velcro on the sides of his pants." The media would be ALL OVER that. Based on what I've read…

I am working on a project that I need to incorporate soon, but I have no plans to take on any investors at all if I can manage it (i.e. and grow organically). Any reason to do a C-…

A co-founder is not somebody you take on 2 years down the road.

If (keyword if ) the CEO is as much of a douchebag as the media makes him out to be, he likely won't continue to be CEO for much longer.

This is not really "news" at all. I stopped drinking dairy milk a couple years ago because I realized it offered no potential benefits, and only alleged risks that kept surfacing i…

Strange, why not just have the user choose a password or a typical 4-digit pin? This would still be way more secure than using the CVC number.

Hopefully they require a password or a PIN each time you send a message with cash in it. Otherwise anybody could steal money from you as long as they can get into your phone and op…

How well does this work from the user experience standpoint? Is it a smooth fluid experience, or prone to lag?

Where in the world did you learn stats from? You would be correct if we were talking about a standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Very different. In t…

Guys, we're programmers here not statisticians: def test(): ... n1 = numpy.average(numpy.random.normal(100,15,52)) ... n2 = numpy.average(numpy.random.normal(100,15,40)) ... return…

This may or may not directly apply to twitter, but I really don't understand how unprofitable companies with no direct revenue model get such large valuations based on: number of u…

Can somebody explain what the use-case for this is? The site says it is a "PaaS that makes it easy to deploy and manage applications on your own servers". Most apps I've been makin…

I wouldn't read into it too much. If he didn't put that in there, tons of idiots would go around saying how net neutrality will support all the crooks of the dark web, illegal file…
