Since they came in through an open door, a fake badge that passed quick casual visual examination would have seemed potentially helpful here. I'm surprised the pen testers didn't c…

One can certainly propose a Constitutional Convention and get two-thirds the state legislatures to agree or convince two-thirds of the US Senators and two-thirds of the US Represen…

Pretty much, yes. A shareholder (i.e. part owner of the corporation) has chosen to "peaceably assemble" with other like minded individuals by buying stock. They have elected repres…

I can see some justification for not notifying developers of their actual pending suspension if they have not acted on prior notifications requiring verification steps. Suppose a d…

The CBP seems to be asserting that they lack the technical resources to issue the refunds in a timely fashion. Thus, when they finally comply, they (well, the US taxpayer) will end…

You, especially as someone who has "been there", nailed it. And congrats on taking personal responsibility rather than blaming others and society for your bad decisions (and I'm be…

In reality that would probably mean that something like 60% of the developer positions would be eliminated (and, frankly, those 60% are rarely very good developers in a large compa…

Most people, by count, of course would not leave because of the wealth tax currently being proposed in California as it targets just a tiny segment of the population - current esti…

IMHO "this seems to be building up" in the US is a bit of an overstatement. Mandami, AOC, and Sanders are the laughing stock of much of the electorate in the US. They are fairly po…

This is something I've been in favor of for some time. Obviously the tax basis in the assets would also be stepped up by this action. The US should also get rid of the step up in b…

Although it would be amusing for them to do it at high velocity if the cars (and surrounding cars if any) were "dead heading" or had no humans in them for other reasons (perhaps be…

Waymo may discover that heavy equipment (large fire trucks can easily push Waymo out of the way if it can find somewhere to push it to) WILL move the cars (at least if there is no …

Interestingly in one of the videos online there are several (five I think) Waymos blocking the right two lanes entering the intersection (along with a few others around the other p…

And it's good to catch that error ASAP. But at that point it's back to engineering to figure out what to do (leave the pipe where it is and adjust around it _or_ move the pipe - po…

A lender never (intentionally) gives anyone anything for "free". This is why ARMs often have lower interest rates than fixed 30 year mortgages - the risk to the lender from rising …

Yes - you have the right to observe public actions of federal agencies and agents and to report on them. However a private entity, including Apple, is free to censor whatever they …

When I was a hiring manager (it's been a number of years) I always checked LI for applicants which looked interesting on "paper" but which had not come through a trusted source suc…

In the 1970s I made the mistake of satisfying one of my general ed requirements by taking a one quarter class which covered _only_ Ulysses. The professor had done his PhD thesis on…

It's good to finally have something "between" Best Buy and Central Computer (et al) back in the SV after Fry's died its slow and painful death as the previous Micro Center in Santa…

I believe the argument is that Congress is not constitutionally allowed to delegate determination of the amount of that tax because the first words in the US Constitution are "All …

We have many real life human "experiments" that can be looked to in determining if the "alpha" concept is a "more successful" model in business. This is particularly true in areas …

FWIW, a followup article indicates the island was auctioned off for $3.8M to the John Muir Land Trust and the former owner who attended the auction was then arrested on outstanding…

A few years ago I was doing some tutoring at a school and a student mentioned "Computer Science" class. I was impressed that fifth graders at this school with generally low perform…

Mine is so old that it doesn't have a picture on it and it's never an issue at two warehouses in the Silicon Valley that I frequent. No one has even mentioned the lack of a picture…

Although, look at it like a retroactive inflation adjusted 2% raise for every year up to 26 that you worked at Dell. Dell doesn't _have_ to offer much of anything although in my ex…
