Altruistic: building a foundation to pardon medical debt, or tackle some low hanging fruit type problems in your neighborhood. Pragmatic: Invest most in index funds, and use the proceeds to fund your startup. Crazy: Alt-coins :D

It seems like the Kim regime is backed into a corner where only the capability to launch nuclear weapons will ensure that they aren't wiped off the face of the planet.

Would applying for a green card on a TN Visa be considered a violation of the non dual-intent of the visa and prevent me from renewing/applying for TN Visa at the border? Context: naturalized Canadian citizen (Indian born) on a TN Visa

This is wonderful for folks who can understand concepts presented to them visually. If I had access to this as a child, I could have definitely grokked functional programming faster :) I can only think of one major improvement - add the con

Perhaps a temporary fix might be to have a on-board verifiable hash map of cell tower addresses by location. Either that, or a way to block 2G on the device.

I think there is a great use case for open source software running on our IoT devices, where we are cognizant of features, security and implication of updates. I predict this will be more commonplace in the next 5 years. At present, we are

Interesting news. The result of this verdict may set a precedent to further curtail online sales of electronic goods from questionable manufacturers (read relatively cheap). The only question is whether this will lead to a more booming unde

I for one am bemused to see both Apple and Microsoft's 2016 offerings - one with a non-touch screen but a seemingly ergonomic touch bar, and the other with a beautiful touch screen. My money is on virtual/augmented reality as bein

Not really... There will be (already are) tons of devices that we do not own that can affect our safety, health or quality of life. For example: traffic lights controls or ventilation systems. Left insecure, they can/will be dangerous.

Companies like HackerRank turn software engineering into a commodity (great for code copy paste). The HackerRank contests submitted by companies were quite buggy, verbose (but with confusing English), and like the author, took a lot of figh

This is great news. It is alarming to realize that a majority of devices built after 2020 will be connected to the internet without the choice for us to vet their security. Securing these devices must be a proactive endeavor.
