The beauty of it is cases like Google's. They have this bizarre 2FA security-theater Google Authenticator thing, but then nearly force everyone to have their phonenumber as a "back…

Those numbers are from 2009 through 2015. That's just cherry picking, because those years just happen to include Anders Breivik. I think its well established that the US is the mar…

I agree with everything you said, however > The more likely cause is the legal structure around gun ownership in the United States. Gun ownership may be an enabler in mass shooting…

> If you accept the idea that a penchant for math is randomly distributed among all people That would seem rather detached from reality.

> A smartphone isnt required It is for Whatsapp. Not only for sign-up, but actually all communication on the web version goes through the app running on your phone. The web "sessio…

Because NATting encapsulates while routing doesn't? And encapsulation is the whole idea behind containers. Until everything is ready for IPv6 (lol, yeah right), NATting seems the o…

Does the author have any evidence that's it's typically white males? Is the author implying that white males are to blame for draconic / legalistic Wikipedia? Has the author proven…

> Obviously no one would ever run something like this 1 vm per request thing irl. I can see plenty of use-cases for doing just that. Large uploads, time-consuming request/responses…

> Feynman argues for unit tests I'm not sure that would be my takeaway from that quote. In the analogy of Unit testing, the test would have found the cracks in the turbine blades. …

I used to run an abandoned warez site when I was young. I received a lot of cease and desist letters from "lawyers". They usually failed to identify the infringing material, failed…

> A well designed ui should be learnable while being used Strongly disagree with that one. A UI that lets you work in the most efficient way (e.g. vi) can also be well designed, ev…

It seems everybody has different goals for UBI. Getting unemployed people to work is not one I've encountered before I think. I fail to see how giving everybody free money is going…

Traditional social programs are a safety net for single people like those going through divorce and such. Under UBI, it just puts a lot more pressure on those people, while at the …

> If UBI = $1 / person, then the difference in pressure is small. The pressure might be small, but it's still there. The €1 still has to come from somewhere. > Also, you presume th…

> Could a website that has a keylogger in it potentially pick up these keystrokes Yes of course. All it takes is misclicking and having the focus on a wrong window, and you're toas…

Whenever someone complains about a website not working without javascript enabled, someone inevitably responds "it's 2017, you can expect javascript to be enabled". I think that pi…

You're welcome! I think I should stress the point that people will pay more for stupid things such as lessons than they will for actually useful things. For example, you can charge…

Not being in the US, not trusting PayPal and wanting absolutely nothing to do with any kind of blockchain currency. It's interesting that we have much simpler payment methods avail…

All kinds really. From transitioning companies to modern CI/CD practices to security counseling to integration work to helping out with automation and such. It's about 50% low leve…

The higher you charge, the more horrible your consultancy job will be generally ;-) I've found €200 to be the sweet spot between actually doing useful tech work and being in nonsen…
