By "coming to your rescue," it doesn't mean actually coming... It means just call the cops at least. Instead, they asked her to call cops then let cops call them to get address. It seriously increase the response time, and potentially cost lives. It seems to be common sense to me. So, it does!

In China, many people invest their money in properties. So, you would have a well-off household owns more and more apartments just for safekeeping. I would imagine it's a good opportunity for AirBnB type of services to thrive. At the same time, a lot of Chinese are quite distrusting of unknown person for good reasons. Renting out their own place with all their belongings can just be asking for trouble.

Japan on another hand, might be doing a better job welcoming guest to stay over their own home. I wouldn't know though.

Companies and products get their reputation damaged often because of the people who answer the call lack of common sense and empathy... At the same time, they expose the problems more effectively than anything else.

I read up on some of DCMA stuff, it does seem to allow some degree of reverse engineering in U.S..

This is exactly the problem with legality of RE and penetration testing. "You broke the law by wasting our time, violating your license agreement." I understand author's points. Not very good points, disappointingly.

No matter how interpersonal she puts it. It makes me not ever want my system to rely on a company that threatens and belittle customers for protecting themselves.

If I bought a fridge for my house, I found a listening device and a pinhole camera in the fridge. Just because the company has a clause I am not allowed to open up the fridge, it doesn't mean I shouldn't.

Well, the company might have found the devices. Indeed maybe nothing customers can do until the company fixes it. Keep telling customers they are not allow to look for flaws it just ridiculous. Yes, it's your product, but this is my home!

I was pointing to the practice of flattening code.

Freeing up 20% RAM with a trade off of 14% increase in ROM usage is fine and all... Code readability is kind of an issue here as well.

Great work! Very useful! It would be nice to have quick search filtering feature though.

It looks pretty and all. How is it different from LinkedIn? I'm always weary getting myself on another "social network" thing instead in the end getting my data sold - or worse - stolen. (actually I'm not sure which is worse...)

A fellow coder friend of mine leaves smartphone and all electronic devices outside the bedroom door before sleep. Also, spend 1 hour before bed doing something like reading or chores like cutting up onions might help as well. Just imagine onions are more important than those bugs at that moment helps.

No one wants to hear that they are wrong, even if you proved it unless you already have their respect, or you are their boss. All programmer will hear is that "you are not doing good enough job," but the "good" is vague and graded, and lazy. Instead, show him how you would have done it. You know, as a learning opportunity.

I think I am being HNDoS'ed... I need to get back to work really... really!

That's good. I don't know. I've never read their policies.

That's pretty cool. I wonder if it violates Google's AUP.

I don't know if it's fair to compare him to Mao, as Mao's reputation is pretty bad in the west. The general feel of this article is like: oh, he's pretty cool, well, anti-corruption, but controlling, and take his job really seriously, just like HITLER! Whut...

But this article has very good details though. I enjoyed reading it.

I see your point. It would be nice to have that.

What do you propose as a solution to Hobson's choice?

I don't know. It seems reasonable to at least provide the options. It sort of like paying to get rid of Ads on the apps, except it's privacy, much more controversial. I bet there are people think privacy is non-negotiable, labeling it with a price somehow stains it. Unfortunately, the real world just does work like that way.

I agree. Integrity is mostly subjective. It has two meanings:

1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.

2. the state of being whole and undivided.

Some Christians would consider anti-homosexuality as a model for integrity, and how can you argue with that? They in fact are protecting integrity of the Bible. They are at least honest about it.

When something is said, it needs to be put in correct context. What Warren Buffet was talking about probably meant loyalty, honesty, and consistent work ethnics and attitude. It should be clearly stated in order to have an objective measurement.

Also, I find organizations putting Integrity as part of their motto distasteful. I don't know, maybe I just don't like any kind of mottos... These things are just generically "good." They don't mean shit when just posted on the wall. Might as well post something like "I'm good, trust me" or "don't be evil." I agree with Mitt Romney - corporations are people. He's right. Both are inherently hypocritical. Never trust what a person says, even yourself, do good and be good. Actions speak the loudest. Seriously, fuck those posters! I hate them so much.

tl;dr former heroine user was good for a couple of years, being productive and successful, relapsed and robbed a bank, executed unsuccessfully, committed suicide by police.

Who knew, good and smart people can be totally ruined by drugs?

I don't get it anymore... 8-16 GB RAM for what? I have not used Chromebook. Do you all use it for gaming? For serious computation? with only 32-64 GB SSD?

For this price, it would be nice to be able to upgrade SSD though. Then I will also want to install a Linux distro or Windows on it.

Good point, until I started chatting with old folks early 5am in the morning at IHOP. Now I'm filled with Vietnam era dirty jokes and feeling not-so-virtuous anymore.

plus going home take a nap in the mid of day for commuting people is just difficult...

I wonder if FERPA, PCI-DSS apply here. We know they are vulnerable about student information, with extra functionality as a payment card, it is getting kinda scary.

Very interesting. I attended OSU. I bet most of universities have the similar kind of security holes. They probably use the fact that not too many people can exploit those technical security flaws as the single line of defense.

I bought LG G3 few days ago after my iPhone 4S lock button finally broke. I thought about iPhone 6 plus for it's larger battery. Unlocked GSM version is over $900 on Amazon. LG G3 unlock GSM is around $450... I hate 2-year contract thingy, using this $450 + $50 accessories + $1,200 Straight Talk 2 year no contract = $1,700 In comparison to Verizon 2-year contract $400 iPhone 6 plus + $1,920 2-year = $2,320 with god knows hidden fees and receipt of my soul... I think I made the right decision...

Feel more like marketing data collecting, to see how size the phone relates the sales... I'm interested to know the result. Personally, it's definitely too big.

Feels like dynamic languages coupled with some smalltalk resemblance, plus the playground which is kind like Mathematica? Looks pretty awesome! I'd itchy to try it out...

Instead, I had to hunt down the person who wrote bugs with only titles and severity level critical....

As a Chinese, I thought 灯 is pronounced "deng." If it makes "dang" sound, my mom would beat the shit out of me.
