In other words, "if we think you could sue us and set a precedent, we will give you your money back. But if you're poor, we won't respond to your phone calls."
Google is trying this with their YoutTube Red, which removes all advertising from YouTube. I believe it is actually kore profitable than advertising. With ads, an average person is worth between $0.01 and $1 a month…
BECAUSE THIS IS GREAT.
Hey that's fine, no need for a warrant. You just have to let the judge know that you think that person is a terrorist. And also what reasons led you to think they're a terrorist. Oh, and also what it is you're looking…
Often there are things that "are not in dispute", i.e. both sides agree. That's pretty close to a definition of a fact. In this case, there is no disagreement that the FBI had CD's containing documents from the defense.
If by "continuing effort" you mean, "parsing new errors in your build, realizing that functions you used have been removed, and finding no information on the web", then yes, I absolutely agree
Google probably doesn't care whether developers use their open source projects -- they hardly make any money from it and they make 95% of their money from advertising.
I have determined that relying on Google products is just a bad idea. I once included Google's V8 engine on a project I was working on. Google would regularly make breaking changes with no documentation. Developers were…
The show is interesting because it combines a late night talk show format with a news format. Their special segments are often in the same format as a nightly news program, where they take an issue, perform research,…
It's not just techies or criminals that want this level of security: companies also want to keep things secure, trust me. In the oil rig industry we used TrueCrypt to secure (1) employee/vendor lists, and (2) location…
How do we know which plugins are secure? If I wanted access to people's browsing info, a plugin would be the way to get it...
Strange how someone can make the right decision in the right place at the right time over and over and over... Real lucky, I say!!
Obligatory article about YouTube: they reduced the size of the page from 1.2MB to a 98KB. All of a sudden, average page latency INCREASED because people in remote areas could now access YouTube (where previously…
Facebook once changed all e-mail addresses to @facebook.com Facebook can sync with your contacts and make a huge jumbled mess Facebook app drains battery Facebook app demands elevated privileges that it shouldn't need…
Truly the most transparent administration in history.
Good thing everyone has been so honest about data capture of Americans ... “What I can say unequivocally is that if you are a U.S. person, the NSA cannot listen to your telephone calls and the NSA cannot target your…
This is pretty unfortunate. But we don't know if the company would have done the same for a male.
Except when they overcome those market forces through collusion. See: wage lawsuit against Apple, Google, and other tech Titans
In these cases, though, we're relying on the employer to institute those salaries. However, the employer usually does not have an incentive to pay more if they can get the same thing for cheaper.
How much of that is the result of intrinsic gender differences vs. learned culture?
Of course Google and Facebook are not going to send candidates to negotiation classes; they would stand to lose from such an arrangement. Rather, there are many ways to approach this: 1. Salary negotiation could be…
Without salary negotiation, the company gets to choose the price. Unfortunately, Silicon Valley has shown that it is willing to collude to keep that price down. Therefore, when companies argue that they're banning…
It surely didn't start in the last decade, and it won't stop this decade, either. Just look at COINTELPRO in the 1960s: COINTELPRO (a portmanteau derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of covert, and at…
Hopefully, firms will start to pool resources to fund legal defenses. If settling out of court costs $100,000 and losing a lawsuit costs $1,000,000, teaming up will be the dominant strategy as long as more than 10 firms…
Thanks! Always good to learn new things
