Isn't this exactly the same thing the IRS does, criminally extort money from tax payers by pretending to be a legitimate branch of the government?

Python can help with this problem.

Why... :/

Google's interview antics are one of the many reasons I'll never work for them. For one, I write business software, and am not great a some of their math-related questions (met som…

I think the best questions are technical questions that give the employer insight into the scope of my skill set. For instance, my previous employer asked what "idempotent" meant. …

I'd say it's ironic, considering that he stood against surveillance. I'd also say that it's interesting that his fiancee was killed in Iraq... Nah, all just coincidental, and I'm s…

Thank goodness there are still people like you out there. The OP of this comment thread seems to be ambivalent to what was generally regarded as evil only a few months ago. Next, p…

Imagine an employee of yours coming to you and telling you what to do. That's what's happening here. The government are supposed to be our employees, not our bosses. It really both…

I have recently cancelled my Google+ account, not only because of similar spam from Google, but also due to the lack of engagement on Google+. A little over half of my Facebook fri…

One of the biggest problems with full design first (i.e., PSD, Fireworks, etc.) is that you don't really have content. How many of you here have experienced the, "I like that littl…

It's amazing how so much engineering and time/money can go into these rockets over a span of years, and then everything can wrong in just a few seconds :(

Sure, but what if I place a camera on each side of your property (outside the property line) of your house, pointing to the edge of your property, then use your tax dollars to pay …

Let me see if I understand this correctly. It's OK for the state to have 120 cameras on each street corner watching your every move (see London), but it's not OK to share your Face…

Ha, this coming from the same company that is helping the CIA build a 600 million dollar data center for spying...

I'd say Python handles package management better than just about anything else, period. Regarding "whitespace"... best stick with PHP or Perl.

In other words, do what you love and do it well, and don't ever let "papers, please" get in your way.

FWIW, I won't bother with anybody in my life that requires a degree for anything, even teaching. Having a degree for something is, IMHO, no better than having a JD Power & Associat…

Please, somebody - who knows the URL (or the HN post) wherein the guy (IIRC, a lawyer) states the 10 things the government will do to reduce the fallout from this? I'm totally frea…
