A sweet hack, and full marks for humor in the FAQ.[1] Q: Is it secure? A: Security is not binary. Q: OK, how secure is it? A: It seems like you just asked that question. Q: No, the first question was if it's secure,

As I mentioned, I'm not a particular follower of hers; I guess I should have mentioned I'm also not her apologist. Sorry I can't answer your question. I don't know what she was doing in that tweet; you provided no contex

Thank you for thinking about this. It's a very worthy topic for thought. If you'd care to link the thread you mention, I'm sure others would like to help. BTW, a very good primer on learning how to be helpful is http:/&

Thanks for the link, chuckcode. Skimmed a bit and added to the "read before bedtime" pile. There's a lot of interestingness around anonymity vs. pseudonymity. From what I've read and experienced, it comes down to how muc

Fair, and we can disagree. I'll say that I'm not a fan of urging people to die in fires. However, it's noteworthy that her review made several clear statements, some opinion and some fact, in her own name. She didn't res

It's disingenuous to switch from your original context in which you, a bystander, urge listeners to believe that this is an unsolvable problem, to the context of the victim, which you aren't. If you, the bystander, decide to take

It's easy to say that this happens all the time, urge folks to call the cops, let them deal with it, and otherwise don't make a big deal. So here's the thing: people have been calling the cops; the cops are ill-equipped to de

There are no social problems so large that we can't fix them once we develop the will to do so. > It is a big problem with no solution. [...] I imagine a lot of the country felt that way about civil rights in the early 1960s. Then

A counter-counter-example: do you believe the majority of the citizenry of Tombstone, Arizona, circa October 1881 were outlaws? And yet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfight_at_the_O.K._Corral I'm happy it hasn

I'm not a particular follower of Randi's and still couldn't help but see the Vivek stuff going on. I wouldn't have labeled it harassment; what I saw was a loud and unrelenting public call for accountability. I don't

> You can't do anything to stop trolls online [...] So painfully wrong. There are many things you can do, including not giving up and walking off. You just have to decide you've had enough and are willing to do hard work. Spe

As judk mentions, an offer in hand (or even a ballpark from the recruiter) is solid data. Also, Wealthfront keeps their startup compensation tool pretty up to date ( https://www.wealthfront.com/tools/startup-salary-equit

Yup. I agree with Hilary and Diego. Optimizing for the clickability of the ad is shortsighted. Yahoo is an advertising company. Optimizing for revenue via delivering valuable clicks to your ad buyers seems more a right choice. That speaks

It's about building their confidence from age 0. It's about making and reinforcing a community of respect for difference wherever you are. And it's about being sure that your kids know they're never really out there all by themselves. Our k

I interleaved for decades, then switched for anything that's not a point-by-point reply. And it's all GMail's fault. You see, top replies are now snippeted in my GMail and on my phone. I can process email faster that way, as can most folks

BDD means testing that you've delivered what the customer asked for. User stories expressed as test. This is like the architect's rendering of a building; it expresses and implies certain desired qualities. TDD means testing that you've imp
