I don't think he was using 2FA; if he was, Amazon CS would not have given him the information (or at least should not have, based on their own policies): https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.ht

The OP says he is "a security conscious user who follows the best practices like: using unique passwords, 2FA, only using a secure computer and being able to spot phishing attacks from a mile away..." yet I do not think he enabl

As a rule of thumb, you should only invest what you can afford to lose, in any stock.

Slightly unrelated -- John Resig's "Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja" is such a well-written book. It allowed me to not only understand but also appreciate JavaScript. I believe understanding JavaScript as a functional languag

I'm building a website for managing personal budgets for my girlfriend (existing applications do not meet her needs). I'm using Node and React for the frontend; this is giving me a chance to learn React, which I've never used

So the technology is already there, but we can't/won't implement this because of politics? What a shame!

Anker ( http://www.anker.com/ ) does something very similar to this company -- except, I think, it has a smaller selection of products. Judging from reviews on Amazon, Anker is also doing very well for itself.

I suspect that the goal is to be acquired by some big profitable company that wants to dip its feet into e-commerce. Or even being acquired by Amazon, which would probably want to eliminate all competition, even if its not profitable. The C

Glassdoor reviews -- like all reviews posted online -- should be taken with a generous helping of salt. A general reason is that most people post reviews to sites like these to either rant or rave, and the employees who had neither a great

I have no doubt that neither Google nor HP made those error maliciously. I was just curious as to whether or not it's possible to incorporate some sort of... tact?... into these recognition algorithms to avoid labeling people (or other

Not getting enough good quality sleep with a newborn baby in the house is a real problem. But what is the solution, though? Hiring a full-time stay-at-home nanny seems the only way both parents can get enough sleep for the first several mon

Great! The recognition seems fairly accurate, based on the examples they provided (haven't used Google Photos myself much, though). I'm still wary, though; I really hope we won't see a repeat of the labeling black people as g

I read this as: how successful you are has nothing to do with how innovative you are. The Apple formula: keep innovations at a minimum, but market all your products as the coolest thing that anyone has ever seen anywhere. With enough of a m

According to the article, even though you can't see all the reviews, you can see at least one review or a rating: "Below each book on the shelf is a card with either a review or a rating from the site."

I work at a big company, and I also consider most C-level executives here to be glorified secretaries. All they ever do is write emails, stare at some charts, and yell at engineers to write code faster. What's most annoying is that som

Instead of teaching at a large research school which cares more about professors obtaining grants, he should teach at a small liberal-artsy school where the professors are expected to spend more of their time actually teaching students.

I do not think this is the case. I tested this out by clicking on several articles without hitting "Show Full Article" on any of them. On the first article, I was told I was reading 2 of 10 free articles. After 8 clicks I hit my q

It's easy to understand why states are willing to raise a significant amount of their budget through the lottery. It's because people -- especially Americans -- hate taxes, and many politicians come to power by promising lower tax

Then that portion is the tax, not the lottery ticket itself. In the same way that there's a tax on alcohol, but the alcohol itself is not a tax because no one's forcing you to buy it. The author himself states: "The lottery

I wouldn't call recursion boring. Quicksort in Haskell is probably my favorite two lines of code: quicksort [] = [] quicksort (x:rest) = quicksort [y | y <- rest, y <= x] ++ [x] ++ quicksort [y | y <- rest, y > x]
