Wow. This confirms something I saw SO often as an undergrad.

I went to a predominantly black city college right next door to Georgia Tech, so we got plenty of big companies knocking on our door.

Only they never took us seriously, gave rushed presentations, and never collected resumes. Tech? They got parties, dinners, entire clubs rented out. It was posh, and if you were like me - you figured out ways to get into these exclusive events, evade bouncers and find an engineer just to talk to them.

There are a few people in this comment section talking about how 'minorities and women simply skew differently'. Maybe try walking a mile in our shoes

It absolutely is, but they just picked up a tweet. At least you can trust their motivations are to get back on the good side of privacy minded folks.

Some positive feedback that may be overlooked with all the UI changes:

Love that releases are shown prominently on the repo page! It's always been a 'trick' of mine to check for releases for a repo by appending `/releases/` to the URL. Now I don't have to, and can just peek at a glance.

Wouldn't the threat of change be going in the opposite direction?

According to the article

> Mr. Dowling said he has had to tear his hospitals apart, retrofitting any unused space, including lobbies and conference rooms, into hospital wards. His facilities now house 2,800 so-called Covid patients, up from 100 on March 20, he said.

> Across the city, hospitals are overrun. Patients have died in hallways before they could even be hooked up to one of the few available ventilators in New York

I think it's safe to conclude yes

"movies near me" in Google, or look at rottentomatoes.com for good rated movies

The subreddit is explain like I'm five. It's geared towards explanations a child could understand.

So it seems that PIA is leaving the freenode project? Will LTM ( now Imperial Family Trustings ) still be heavily involved? It was my understanding that Imperial was owned by PIA - is that not the case anymore?

I love Freenode. But keeping up with these politics and all these different related corps is exhausting.

Seems to work fine for me

> That's already how fraud protection works in the majority of banks.

Yes, but what bank has the surface area of google? If I do something in a an area that has _literally nothing_ to do with banking ( say google stadia ) that a bot thinks is fishy - will I have all of my funds locked up over that mistake?

The lack of a larger screen size coupled with the keyboard deficiencies are what drove me away from macOS to various linux distros.

While I'm immensely happy with my new OS - a lot more could be said about the hardware ( especially when running larger screens on pc that just can't keep up battery wise ).

This is a phenomenal step in the right direction, but one that comes too late for me. At this point I can't begin to consider jumping back until macOS sees some substantial improvements.

Unfortunately, this is par for the course for any large public "tech" company. Releasing their source proactively isn't a source of profit so it is simply not done until people have to beg for it.

Honestly, build it yourself. A good library of small shell scripts along with some well-commented .sql files will be easier to maintain and understand than any off the shelf migration utility.

There is a depressing lack of open standards with these off-the-shelf physical tokens. It's unfortunate that a company's security can rely on the APIs of another company which could go bankrupt and disappear at any time.

> However, the key couldn’t possibly have been used to decrypt the VPN traffic of any other server. On the same note, the only possible way to abuse website traffic was by performing a personalized and complicated MiTM attack to intercept a single connection that tried to access nordvpn.com.

However crt.sh shows

What exactly were these keys for if they were only usable in such a manner according to nord?

Lots of talk here from highly technical folks but not one person brings up the fact that these are expired keys - as in not usable?

I understand that the fact that these keys were obtained is concerning but the security of nord and etc prevailed at the end of the day.

The question is: were they leaked before they expired or long after?

There's a really good Planet Money podcast on this topic.

Did you know that pre-1980s, antitrust law was used _very_ liberally? There were many documented cases of the book being thrown at tiny companies looking to merge - the book that changed everyone's mind ( The Antitrust Paradox ) lists examples such as a merger between local groceries being denied as one of many great examples of antitrust law getting in the way of healthy competition instead of promoting it.

It seems that for most of the 10th century, antitrust law usage was on one side of the bar being used far too much, and as a reaction it's far too much on the other side - seldom used to the point where most industries are dominated by one or two giants.

It's just bad luck this transition seemed to have happened during a boom period of new industries and extreme growth.

Was this chat app for external contractors as well? Highly doubt it.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. 5G won't be popular for years, and even then it'll only ever be limited to very high density areas ( think main streets of large cities, areas where super bowls may take place ).

Right now if you're in an area of relatively high pop density you can expect 4G LTE and decent speeds. In the future a new class of high speed will exist that only those who venture into highly populated areas will be able to enjoy. Stray off that path and you're on the lesser LTE version - a lot like going into the country nowadays ( unless you're on verizon )

Understandable sure, but why bring up Django on a post about upgrading to Rails 6.0 a week after 6.0 was released?

What if they truncate AND lower case it without telling you?

Looking at you Wells Fargo

Recently traveled internationally. I cannot agree with the claims of this clickbaity article. In the security line there were numerous signs telling passengers they could opt out of having their photo taken.

As I approached the kiosk, I mentioned that I preferred to not have my photo taken, and was nearly cut off by the lady asking for my passport.

I'd argue that getting my passport scanned was quicker than waiting for the machine go take your picture.

I'm not sure, I could see myself playing this with friends.

I enjoy playing games with friends that involve challenges,.but often that just translates to outmaneuvering some enemy in some game.

This seems like a great experience where we can really experience each other's creations. Sort of like Minecraft, but imo it's hard to embrace something that "belongs" to someone else, as things tend to be in minecraft.

I'm not sure if GitHub fits the definition of distributed (unless you're talking about their load balancing setup, in which case - is that relevant?), but git is designed to be a decentralized store of information (specifically code, but not stricty) and optionally distributed.

But in reality, you can't ( and shouldn't ) go back and change how the rest of the legacy codebase does things just because there's a new way to do it.

> I am 100% certain you're a better developer than I, and that lightning is not a result of poor engineering. But if a layman can't pick it up and use it in under 5 minutes, it's unworkable (if you're targeting laymen).

In this scenario linux is unworkable since a cli is probably too much for a layman. But that's why people built gnome and other window managers on top of the "unworkable" but useful core.

All we have to do is wait for some people to build that nice pretty layer on top - but the core must be an efficient tool
