This (local political action) is something I've found interesting for a while, but never enough to actually get involved. Seeing this made me look up some data for the area around …

Apparently they're looking for volunteers ( http://getinvolved.runforoffice.org/volunteer ). I'm not involved with the project (although seriously considering volunteering), and it…

I have no idea about the quality, but I saw this kit getting posted on Twitter this afternoon: http://www.boldport.club/ . It looks a little simpler, but may scratch the itch you'r…

The important part of the parent comment was "just like everyone else". For people who are employees, not stakeholders, recognition for success is important and the parent clearly …

Note what the actual source for that says: > Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software company, provides intelligence agencies with information about bugs in its popular softwa…

I would imagine it's at least somewhat rare. The indicators for espionage and insider trading are quite similar: most spies are caught because of sudden affluence. Making a ton of …

Its my understanding that Azure is slightly better for students. Their Dreamspark offering, at least when I looked at it, was better if you got started in the first couple years of…

If it's shared in a corporate environment or anonymously, it shouldn't. I generally expect most of the people I work with the be in a +/- 10% band for my "peers", and +10-50% for m…

I haven't read that book, but isn't increased negotiating power for CEOs a more likely explanation than social embarrassment? If I've been chosen as the lead candidate for a CEO, i…

We've seen the reverse of this now. Everything I've seen has shown that newer generations are moving more into the cities, back to closer to their employers.

I'm pretty put off that I spent 5 minutes digging around on their site and couldn't find one of those claims. All I saw was "Everyone is trying to steal your private datas, but for…

Presumably you would have less wear and tear on the car by driving it less. This entirely accepts the initial purchase of the car as a sunk cost, so the number of hours doesn't rea…

Why wouldn't they just drop their equipment and leave? Cutting cables causes a noticeable outage and requires people to physically visit the point of modification, which ruins the …

No public information about a crime doesn't mean no clues.

I don't have any good introspection into what this number means, but according to this ( http://www.nationsreportcard.gov/reading_math_2013/#/state-p... ) 18% of 8th graders were f…

There's quite a bit of research to support this[1]. Basically, regardless of any other factors, increased parental involvement consistently shows better performance. [1] https://ww…

I've been making some grumblings, and would really like data to back things up. Would anyone who was recently hired (past year or so) mind sharing information about the process? I'…

I work for a pretty large company, and the more involvement I have with the hiring process the more painful it is to see. We just move so incredibly slowly, with frequent false sta…

Its actually the opposite that annoys me: if I was watching a TV series, the last time I was logged in I watched episodes, and there are still remaining episodes, stop asking me to…

At least in vim, you can remap just about anything that you want to. The reason the feature doesn't get included as often is because of exactly this. Even someone who could make us…

Compared to other bug bounties it isn't bad at all. Airline miles are generally valued at around a penny a mile, so $500 for XSS, $2500 for an auth bypass, $10000 for code exec isn…

After looking through their data a little, I'm curious: who is paying all these bribes[1]? 7% of people who interacted with the police report paying a bribe to them? 11% for educat…
