I don't know much about this case but depending on the level of concern, even just plugging the device into a safe, isolated machine and performing an image may be insufficient. Yo…

I appreciate the increasing trend toward openness. I think it benefits everyone to see what's out there. My journey All USD $ are gross annualized and approximate. No bonuses/stock…

I'll agree with you that modern HTML and CSS for presentation is best-of-breed. I'll accept that the DOM API is sufficient. But neither of those necessitate JavaScript; JS is just …

I have to encourage you not to give up on all tech interviews. (By that I think you mean "hands-on"/"practical" type tests). I do hiring for our agency, which consists entirely of …

Related question: what online sites, if any, are better to purchase items to avoid counterfeit? I've been thinking of using B&H instead of Amazon for electronic stuff, assuming tha…

I found very interesting that the sample meal shown was very, very heavily pure meat. Today's meals tend to include substantial "bread"/starch component for each meat: whether a bu…

What I really want is to the ability to optionally select the shipper... UPS, FedEx, USPS, OnTrac, with different prices as needed. I think a lot of people who have trouble with on…

Sometimes you can catch this in an interview, too, when you ask what happened to the previous person in the position (I always ask this question). Usually it's simple like "they mo…

I agree. Of course, there is a "spin-up" time and we prefer to select the competent candidate with skill in our tools vs the competent candidate with skill in a different tool; but…

This is an oversimplification. The average household has several kinds of debt, and generally debt should be paid down in descending order of interest rate. More significantly, inv…

This is basically a given/open intention. There was an HN thread a week ago [0] wherein Google indicated they were using new metrics to identify and remove "terror content". The me…

Although it could have been coincidence, it does seem like Google is making a statement with the temporary suspension of Peterson's account that these initiatives are clearly targe…

It's possible that a new version could have a breaking policy change. For example, all our intranet apps are served over HTTP. At some point, that's going to become untenable due t…

The login problem was attempted to be solved by Mozilla's "persona", now deprecated. I like the general idea that I strongly authenticate to my browser, which can then "vouch" for …

Stories like this are frustrating and a symptom of the impact very large companies can have on multiple facets of our lives. One possible approach is to keep accounts separate for …

Great article. A few years ago (at a previous job) I took a sick day for "sanity", but told them I wasn't feeling well. I felt guilty about doing it. I think part of it is the asso…

This is plausible, but I still have a few concerns. EV will need battery replacement on some routine basis. How will that effect the TCO and lifetime of the vehicle? One of the adv…

What about the interpretation that if reality is a computer simulation, certain operations (such as the factoring described) are a form of a security weakness in the simulation, al…

I wonder if the environment of experience is significant? USDS positions itself like a startup (even their page has a section on "dress code" which mentions being like "any other s…

How do we know that the recipient of the key in your scenario (or the originator of the CSR) is in fact the domain owner? The domain contains contact information, but the exchange …

I enjoy reading descriptions such as these that start with easily detectable problems and go into a level of debugging far beyond my skill level. Helps to illuminate some of those …

They only have to be unique per module. As of GHC 8.0, there is a flag that enables duplicate record names.

I even went into the view-source figuring there would at least be an html comment and suggestive css class. I guess in retrospect now it's obvious what the bar is for but I agree a…

I'm not very familiar with Python but I liked this quiz. I got two wrong (13/15), once for a stupid mistake and once for not knowing the algorithms well enough. In a couple cases I…
