The original title "How a middle class kid with promise, intelligence, and opportunity becomes a career criminal."

Imagine a company has a policy that says "we wont hire black people". Does the number really matter whether 1 person was turned down or 20k ? Google discriminating against a person…

I think that quality was probably THE reason why he was hired for such a position. Hypthetically: Pentagon builds some massive surveillance program for US government which is blata…

I was mostly referring to Taboola/Outbrain styled ads. But if they are without any "sponsored" tag that is even better.

And why is that bad from what Firefox is doing ? Charging money to set default search engine to Yahoo?

One more point. While Ad-blockers are getting popular the tech industry could indeed innovate to become ad-blocker-blockers. I guess ad-blockers work by looking at the domain names…

I dont think they are arguing that the future is better. Also going there today may not mean more money. For example what % of online ad money is being spend today on sponsored con…

One of the dubious Indian journalist (who is above 70 years old) was caught (and on camera) soliciting sex for a minor and luring her into meeting him. It made a big news and I alm…

It is not the case that people at Yelp find it great joy in firing people. When a person did not turn up for work for three days some HR manager gleefully typed out a termination l…

That is what she claims. It is her side and we don't know what is Yelp's side of the story.

Exactly my thoughts. Also I don't understand the "single mom" part. Society does not owe any special treatment to a single mom, not more than any other mom. Single mother is a choi…

Many of us might suck at spellings and grammars to simply pay serious attention to detail. The dangerous editor isnt for us.

Last time I tried to use Powershell I gave up pretty quickly. Learning Powershell had higher costs than using something *nix based without any major advantage.
