My argument was that you said police were invented largely as a force in the 19th century for "largely questionable purposes such as racism and anti-unionism." I brought up a pretty clear example of a police force existing in the

Just to comment on this. A common google search would have pointed out that your ideas about local police forces are largely incorrect. Police have been a thing for much longer. The big thing that happened in more recent history (Meaning 17

Happens and I wont pass judgement. The IoT explosion has been the best thing to happen for me in years career wise and now I get to combine the best of both worlds.

Coming from someone who holds your company in high regard and loved your companies work in the CGC I really have to disagree. You can be neither a script kiddie or a non-technical manager and still have webdev shops view you with suspicion

As someone who has tried a couple times to jump the other way I can attest to this. Completely stonewalled for full stack developer positions. I have found exploits by knowing the quirks of all sorts of libraries and I have to be able to un

Although on a technical level I think it could prove an interesting challenge, I worry about it's implications on speech across the web. Besides potential fears about the creators bias training it, all I think this will do is create cl

I see someone hasn't had GPL conflicts in their code base before. There is a reason companies specifically look for them and it's because the FSF and it's communities will make your life hell.

I actually have constant fears about this, I always wonder because of programs like this if I am good enough or am I just a diversity hire.

I appreciate that, but I don't think raising up some random guy on reddit is a valid way of drawing a conclusion. Person A thinks X. Person B who belongs a group the blue tribe hates also thinks X. Therefore person A is a bad person be

Is that our guy? He is talking about him in the 3rd person later on down the line. How is one reddit comment even relevant to this right now?

None of what he said were men's rights dog whistles. If you think this you clearly don't have an ear for them. The closest you could say is he was maybe inspired by Peterson and Slatestarcodex.

Completely disagree and I think the reaction to the post proved his point. Unfortunately this is now easily going to blow up into another donglegate.

I think pop media needed a phrase to describe someone who was obviously smart but had a lot of trouble interacting with others. I am sure we all have run into Bob or Alice the cave troll who for lack of a better word can't pick up on a

You forgot another possibility which is that the organization might have a bad office culture and the person is just instinctively protecting their turf.

If you are talking about IQ the data would support you, the problem comes when you look at standard deviation and we see men have a slightly higher standard deviation which leads to the extremes on both sides being overwhelmingly male. It&#

It's a product of the left/right divide in modern American politics. It's mostly a dog whistle so the other side knows he is ok to unperson.

Nice is relative. People who make a lot of money want things relative to their interests. Areas become more expensive due to poor planning from civil servants more than Google salaries. NYC, DC, Boston, Atlanta, Austin, London, Brussels and

I believe it, but this is more of an argument between the exceptional vs the broader industry. Me and the other person (I think) are looking at the industry in a much broader sense because there are various reasons someone would even make i

Ok so first off, rent in Tulsa is 12k at most for a full house. Second off a lot of the high cost of living has nothing to do with solving hard problems, if it did the civil engineers would have solved the hard problem of fixing the housing

The average developer is average, not awful. You can make more if you are better than average and know the right people and speak the right language. I know people who are making $350k, but they are very much an exception and we both know a

Are you really willing to tell me that that the average engineer in 3-6 years can pull in $250k? Your own source says the median is $100,690. How long do you think those people have been working in the industry? Are they all just fresh out

by the_cyber_pass 10y ago
Look at /r/programming, do you think these people are pulling $250k. They are closer to the average. If you think $250k is normal you're in an exceptional bubble.

The problem doing DLL injections is you are dropping things directly to the disk which is a great way to get AVs attention. Heuristics based detection can be a pain in the ass here and you want your rootkit to be able to be 'unique&#x2

There is a case to be made that you only need to be good enough to get in. I myself am not nearly at the level where I could write a hypervisor exploit even though I have been in the industry for a while. However I feel pretty confident in

I don't think they wanted to flex muscle over Apple, I think they were trying to build case law for situations like this. Also breaking into a phone with an exploit like this is expensive and if they have an exploit, they might not wan
