Seems like a great idea. I would be interested to hear about the indicators used to show that students sometimes didn't bother applying in these cases. It seems intuitive that college students, having to plan in Fall of N for full-time

If HBO is hamstrung by lucrative deals, then it stands to think that HBO's own deal making has prevented them from usurping Netflix. To my knowledge, I haven't heard of Netflix having overtly anti-competitive behavior but I'm

If large stakeholders in Snap also had large stakes in all these media outlets praising the Snap IPO, would you say the same? It's not really about what everyone else is reporting; it's the fact that no matter what the spin, they

There was another example in this very article of them writing a glowing defense of Comcast, which they neglected to put a disclaimer on until a large outcry caught up with them. Where are you getting your opinion that they "usually do

In their diff example, line 33 on the left and 35 on the right are shown to be unchanged, however the indent isn't the same... Seems like they've hardcoded this example incorrectly unless I'm missing something? Left line 32 i

Coin stood by nothing, not even their early backers. I'm genuinely upset they got our money and sold out, making more money. I wish they went up in flames and died out for the horrific user experience I and other backers experienced.

I'm with you. Not only was I an original backer, but I was also an early backer. I got my Coin 1.0 months after they promised, and it almost never worked anywhere. Coin 2.0 comes out with EVT but no NFC payment, promises to work at mor

I'm glad there's at least one government agency that's competent and technical enough to further our encryption tech. I'm worried the FBI and DOJ will try to spin this DARPA notice into somehow justifying that 'perf

Are you going to cite facts to back up your claims of a $100,000 university? You roughly doubled the tuition, room and board, and required fees of NYU, commonly cited as the most expensive private U.S. university.

Begrudgingly, I agree. I don't consider a patent holder to be a troll unless they're clearly not the first party to develop said technology. If there's clear prior art, only then would I consider someone a troll. Unfortunatel

61C veteran here too! Those projects were mind blowing at times; unrolling a loop by 2 or even 4 would have ridiculous effects on runtime.

I find people's immense gullibility more humorous than any of these April Fool's jokes. That said, good post! Had a bit of a chuckle at the NSA rib.

As long as the files aren't being removed and marked inaccessible by the owner, I see no malicious intent by Dropbox here. I'm sure they were pressured by the MPAA and other similar organizations to actively remove/refuse to

The game is arbitrarily winnable now. Press down until you get rows of 2-4-8-16, then collapse all the way to the left. Repeat this procedure until you get to 256/512.

How does he explain storing simple integers in a reasonable amount of space? Any decent programmer will avoid using too many bits for a variable that never exceeds a certain value (short, int, etc). It seems rather foolish and arrogant to c

The overarching point is that having your watch unlock your phone doesn't include any personal security barrier; I don't need to know some privileged information to unlock your device. All I have to do is shake your wrist and your

When have you heard of someone getting strong-arm robbed and the robber NOT taking their phone and their watch?

Not the most secure thing, but a cool idea. Compared to the traditional password/pattern unlock, there's a big security flaw; all I have to do is shake the watch next to the phone to unlock it. I don't even have to be the rig

Sadly, it reminds me of The Office where Michael Scott would always remember one striking fact about someone to connect with them. It seems this third party mailing list populated the wrong fields with some sensitive info. Terrible mistake,

All signs point to a hasty implementation of this; seems like there was some pressure on the companies included, or an urgent turn around. All the articles were clearly planned; The Guardian has already run two stories, each published exact
