W.T. actual F? Congress is apolitical? Bwhahahaha. It's the definition of a political body. Chances of the house actually doing something with Mueller's evidence, is slim to none. A special prosecutor was appointed for the reason to find the truth regardless of political climate, but GOP don't want the truth.

At one point I thought VPNs would cost a lot of money to start up and run, but there are so many and the prices are so cheap. I think I paid something like $15 for 3 years of VPN service?

Having servers in all these regions can't be cheap. Having staff to look after them can't be cheap, and having to purchase the bandwidth can't be cheap. So how do they stay profitable?

I think a lot of it salary. Engineers, QA, etc, all get categorized as R&D at my company for tax credit purposes.

The equipment they need is also a part of it I think.

if you browse /r/cscareerquestions there are a lot of people (young without much prior experience) looking for work, and can't even get interviews. I really don't know why some people "make it" and some don't, but rest assured, if the market was really that great, these people wouldn't have any problems.

In a way that's probably good... we don't want a repeat of 1999 where everyone with HTML on their resume got a job, but it really does suck.

The more quality people entering the workforce the better. They create new products, features, and innovation that create more demand for programmers to maintain. They create products that spin up new ecosystems which create jobs.

I thought the drop across all coins today is from bitconnect's demise? It's a Ponzi scheme using crypto and its creators cashed out. Maybe that spooked people about the soundness of other coins?

A real woman on slashdot? Nah. Most likely a cross-dresser.

This is not good for people hoping to monetize a viral video, or a video they hope will go viral. This is because a lot of videos with millions of views actually have far fewer followers on the creator's channel. For example, a cute cat/animal video that was shared millions of times, or something that went viral on social media, a 4k demo clip, whatever. The creator got lucky and caught a viral moment on video but chances are low that such moments can be captured reliably again, or the creator targeted search terms and made videos for those search results. Either way, once the viewer got what he needed, he moves on.

This policy change definitely favors vlogs and channels that can create a following over a long period of time over infrequent but popular uploads.

Anyone care to comment on the performance hit after the patch? Is it obvious, measureable?

23 billion visitors, totaling 4.59 billion hours (275.4 billion minutes), which means on average each visitor only spent 11.97 (~12) minutes per visit.

That checks out, considering it takes like 5 minutes before finding something I want to fap to.

Seems like the bitcoin value is unfazed despite this hack. Trending at near $14000 now.

Because you know, that would be sad.

I haven't read the article, but I assume a file hash won't prevent the abuser from resizing the picture, changing a pixel on the image which will change the hash completely. Unless of course Facebook does something like scale and rotation invariant pattern detection and hashes off of those.

This describes me perfectly. I get the bloody mary mix (minus the alcohol) on flights and I have always thought it's the best thing ever, but I never get tomato juice or bloody mary mix otherwise.

Also, the part about crying more on planes is totally true. I watched a documentary about the Arlington Cemetery and the changing of the guards and had to look away to keep tears from falling from my eyes. But now I can care less about the Tomb of the Unknown and the soldiers guar... hold on brb.

VCs throw money at whatever they could and see what sticks. If they fail they still can recoup some of the losses through a sale or ownership of IP. But if they win and turns into a billion dollar idea then their initial investment paid for itself many folds.

Anyway, I think this idea sucks. Non-perishable is going to severely restrict what kind of stuff they can sell. Milk used as an example in the summary but you can't keep it in one of these boxes.

Wait, what? Someone (anonymous) with no self-identification whatsoever complains about NYT and you somehow lump that person with millennials and proceeds to bash the entire group. You could have replaced millennials with another and it would have made just as little sense. But it's fashionable to bash millennials and blame them for everything so you got upvoted. Mods need to do a better job at moderating.
