No offense, but that's pretty sad. I hope you find more rewarding work before you retire. We're only on this Earth once.

I ask candidates to tell me about something they created they are proud of, and why.

All you have to do after that is listen.

You're not missing anything - it's 100/200 level computer science. (Freshman/Sophomore)

You can actually do it now if you have a bank account on each end of the transaction, and it's in real time (not ACH): https://www.theclearinghouse.org/payment-systems/rtp

And all email is is two people sending telegraphs really quickly to each other....

> I would not purchase a 2019 anything right now. I'd allow for two-three years worth of flashes before considering a new car

Do you mean a model that is all new for 2019 or do you mean literally any car assembled in 2019?

I don't recall there being any exoplanets within the habitable zone at Alpha Centauri.

Agreed, but also - it's private property and most likely a contract was signed at hotel checkin that permitted it legally.

Yeah mine does that too. I wish they had a sensitivity option like they do with the forward collision sensors.

Hey there's an idea for Uber, maybe instead of disabling the forward collision system entirely they could just decrease the sensitivity to lessen false positives (like in our Jeeps)?

Ctrl-F "digg", no results. LOL. rip

Yeah, if you're an employee you might care about things like that but some people do consulting, you know.

I would add: some organizations make fistfuls of cash and don't have much in the way of a technology team. Others pump billions of dollars through Excel macros. Not every company has a great IT team following all the latest buzzwords.

I wouldn't dream of speaking for Patrick but I believe it's something along the lines of:

unreasonable deadlines, non-existent documentation for existing systems, non-existent QA processes, unavailable/non-existent support staff, undocumented/unclear requirements, etc.

Hey - thanks! Kind of amazed to watch all my karma evaporate for pointing it out. :/

The point stands that it is not "lost forever".

When you invest in the stock market, and the market crashes, THAT money is lost forever. This is not that.

so ... not "lost forever", then?

The title makes it sound like people lost their money.

They can do a hard fork and this money will re-appear.

This is awesome!! Thank you!

Hey - it's a little hard to see the splits like foe of a friend (I'm red/green color blind), what's an easy way to tweak the colors?

EDIT: I unpacked it and tweaked the CSS. Wooo!

The quality is fantastic, very sharp. We can also HEAR everything that happens on our street through the microphone. I can't really understand a bad review. It dutifully does its job without hassles, and is super convenient to use.

And you didn't need a dozen node.js modules!! Amazing!!

That's why the Kuna camera is still a better option - it sits at the bottom of a very nice outdoor light fixture.

I'll stick with my Kuna cameras. It has a very nice app, face detection, etc.

Why is Vice so excited to write this article, with this headline, and then provide absolutely no details:

> It's unclear exactly how Apple is able to pull this off, as there's no explanation of how this works other than from those words by Federighi.

All Apple says is "end to end encryption". From your phone to the cloud is 2 ends, and then from the cloud to the FBI is 2 more. Yay!

It's definitely possible to add a small piezo speaker to the board and have it play a recording of the sound to you when you open a new telnet connection ;)

Whoa, thank you for the tip! Those do look very nice :D

I believe you mean "bistro style" mugs and I emphatically agree.

I dunno man, my eyes glazed over somewhere in the middle of that third paragraph and I'm just happy I don't have to deal with any of that.

Think they'll wise up and change any of it on the next model?

Amazon is truly awful at hiring. Their engineers often give strange programming puzzles to solve, then add arbitrary constraints like, "this needs to operate in 16MB of RAM".

If Amazon can't spring for a $15 stick of memory it's probably not going to be a great work experience.

I also wouldn't want to work with engineer who asked BS questions like that. Waste of time.

Great - how do I get a non-compromised smartphone? :/

I'm kidding but I'm also serious.

I don't disagree with you, man, but you also have to realize this wound never fully healed after our Civil War ended in 1865.

You look at a map of the "red states" and they are very much what is remaining of the Confederate States of America. The red states in the west are where these racist losers fled to after the war to get away from all the freed blacks.

The fact that Trump is calling the election "rigged" and essentially egging on an armed rebellion after election day - well that just might happen because it already did a very long time ago.

I know you weren't replying to me but I've never seen it. I also would never condone that kind of behavior, or even be associated with people who did that.

Someone actually flagged my comment, which to me is pretty jaw dropping. This isn't a topic we can discuss? Okay.
