Assuming one even believes this drivel… It doesn’t matter how it’s done at all, this is still 100% scumbaggery. I blame two parties: the company, and the lack of law enforcement that goes after that company with fines large enough to end

THANK YOU! This is why I hate security questions that ask for my “favorite” whatever. That’s going to change! My favorite movie, or supervillain or whatever is going to change - hopefully - within a couple years if good artists are out ther

This is usually due to taxation and legal reasons. In the US for example, even a US based company out of, say, New York has to have paperwork set up with each state they want to hire in. So if this hypothetical company wanted to hire their

With high resolution cameras, indefinite data retention and third party data leaks being a matter of when, not if, this seems like a perfect way to get your fingerprints stolen by organized crime syndicates worldwide. If not next year, then

“[…] moral argument […]” I mean, that’s pretty rich coming from the folks willfully engaging in human rights violating surveillance to overwhelm you with obscure useless nonsense that is literally an assault on your time, attention and ment

There’s a common phrase in English: “what’s the ask?” As in, “what is the other party requesting?” “What does this person want?” I can see how that would sound/read a bit strange to one coming from another culture. It’s just another wa

Wait a minute - clearly I missed something here. Last I read, Mythos was only available to a handpicked list of megacorps under project glasswing. Did the hourly changing AI soap opera air yet another plot twist that I missed amidst my ques

I was not aware of this loophole. Thank you. I’ve got some strong opinions but I’m just going to keep those to myself right now. And my dog. She’ll hear me as I scream profanities into the void…

What I’m not clear on - how many of these H1B hires are subject to the EO that jacked up the fee to $100k per person? Assuming even just 100 of them were, that’s still ten million USD (assuming I didn’t visualize the zeroes in my head wrong

I can’t answer this directly, but it may be helpful to others if they have an example (be it real or fabricated based on what you’re working with) to work from.

I’ll remind us all that the subject of human flatulence has been one of interest for some of history’s greatest minds - and humorists - for several centuries at the very least: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Fr

This. The more locked down, the less in control we are, the higher margins they command. This is why app stores exist - it has nothing to do with safety or security, and everything to do with monopolizing the distribution supply chain from

Something I never quite understood: differentiate between BEAM process and operating system process. The OS has launched one (in theory) BEAM Erlang VM runtime process with N threads; are we saying “process” here to try to emulate the OS pr

I’m having trouble understanding how that second amendment passed. The first one didn’t so the total number of shares didn’t change, right? So how did he get the second one through, legally speaking? Not at all trying to argue here, I’m try

Good question. I’d expand on this and ask a bonus question of, how do you write tests for your 2fa implementation code? Same thing for third party auth (sign in via GitHub/Google, etc); you can’t spam them every time you run your test

To the best of my admittedly limited knowledge on the subject, they're relatively new so most news sites aren't terribly aware of them yet, and most people aren't technology-savvy enough to be aware of their existence and abi
