Fully agreed. That sounds like very bad behavior.

This really isn't that surprising. It could also be explained largely by self selection. If one believes that top schools by prestige also attract the top students, and that these …

So what about any charitable effort that discriminates on the basis of a protected class. If you can't do something for free to help one group without excluding some others no char…

Penn&Teller covered the ADA in this episode of their TV Series Bullshit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLfo979TDaY . The sue first model of accessibility is sickening especially …

It seems like Facebook's Bug Bounty Program payment processor bugbountypayments.com is down http://isup.me/bugbountypayments.com . Anyone have any experience with that site? I have…

In addition to the Azure credit I'm interested in the CloudFlare and DataStax enterprise services value. Cloudflare at least reports an average for enterprise services at $5k/mo.

I agree. This is a click bait title. The words abuse and harassment should not be used about as freely as they are in current meta-discussions of online discourse.

Overall, I don't think this post is very good. It tries hard to ride the wave of several important, valuable, and popular sentiments but I think that the ways in which it misses th…

I don't know what to say besides kudos. Harvard will need to build a new building for CS now.

Very cool. A couple questions: is the song really the right vehicle to pass around? By analogy isn't that like moving the binary instead of the code? I understand the lack of DAW c…

Terrible title.

Can we change this link to the actual source? http://www.mss.vatlib.it/guii/scan/link.jsp Or the Vatican library homepage or this tweet: https://twitter.com/vaticanlibrary/status/5…

Yes the comments of the original blog post have been really interesting to read. The domain name community looks to be all over the comment section of the original post.

I'll be following this case. I don't understand why this would be filed under seal. I'd enjoy some legal experts comments on the matter.

Out of court settlement. Microsoft and No-ip both issued press releases/updates to their original blog posts about it. No details about the settlement were released but No-IP certa…

The amount of remote worker angst in these comments is pretty ridiculous. Yishan has seemed reasonable enough and has come to terms with the fact that some parts of Reddit's operat…
