"wibbly wobbly system which needs thousands of marketing companies which maybe fulfill their corporate promise" I am afraid that's not how it works. This is not how the government tracks you. The mirror all traffic going br

Yup. Here's the thing too. When people troll online, they think hiding behind an alias is enough. You can still be traced back. I am sure the government keep tabs of all your history, even if you are not a person of interest at the

i bought an iphone 7 specifically because it protected user's privacy a bit more than android phones. so i wouldn't say they don't matter at all. to some people they do.

Judging from what you said. You need to learn to read the language rather than simply understanding the syntax. You need to understand what is going on under the hood. Programming languages are just a bunch of random symbols and letters;

Pressure is given by yourself. As long as your are happy with what you learnt, then it's all fine. I am in a similar boat, but I have a lot less pressure because I saved enough and even if it fails, I have gained so much that my salar

Quitting your job isn't the problem. It's takes courage to do what you do. The problem is coding boot camps. They promise things they can't deliver. As a programmer I can tell you all the things you learn in those three mo

This "At a certain point" is, however, subjective. Who can say your "point" is right or wrong. Some people have more tolerance than others. Having a mob mentality of dictating what those limits are is dangerous in my

I am on the same boat as these people that can't afford a home with these property prices. But, I don't blame other people for having more than me. The concept of private property is that anyone can do whatever they want with thei

The new MacBook pros remind me of Walter Isaacsons bibliography of Steve Jobs. The first thing Jobs did when returning to Apple was cut all the products down to theee core products. In 2016, it seems to be going the other direction again.

Undoubtedly I am an angry programmer but this article misses the point of why programmers are angry. It is placing the blame on the programmer itself rather than the environment they cause this toxic environment. People don't choose

I never seen something like before. It's very good way of measuring subjectively perceived risk. I am definitely using.

Very cool indeed. It's the first news/article I have read in awhile that isn't anything negative. It tries to push the boundaries of humanity by doing something innovative.

I don't know about you guys, but I am quite sick of these messaging apps that don't really provide any added-value over their competitors. Moreover, these message apps are not decentralize nor are these companies altruistic, so i

It's just not something I see homeless people do. So I was quite unfamiliar with the sight. Everyone has the right to do what they want with their time, but for me, I would imagine trying to find a proper job would be more importa

I once accidentally stumbled into a street downtown LA in my early 20s. It was full of druggies and gangsters. I never felt so scared of my safety before. I definitely felt eyes staring a me like I didn't belong there. I have travell

Not to the extend that SF has. I have never seen so many homeless people before. And its not like they were starving at all. I heard they get paid by the government a $1000 a month. I even saw some reading books at the park.

I would like to add that some recruitment companies place ads when there are no jobs as well to increase their candidate pool. It happens a lot when there is a lot of competition to get the best candidate at a moments notice.

It is getting to the point that I am seriously contemplating of deleting all my social media presence. I got nothing to hide, but I also don't want any stranger snooping in my privacy.

I like your idea. I would also like to add one I learnt through experience. I usually meet with the team on a casual event outside the office before accepting any offer. I find that its a very good way to find out about the team dynamics.
