Based on the Google engineer's LinkedIn profile, it is obvious that using any gendered pronoun will be a touchy subject.

I agree, this is true. In this particular case though, there has been sensationalism for decades now - it tends to have the opposite of the intended effect.

That is the problem. Without actual proof of something, sensational headlines are mandatory.

I am not sure what you are thinking of, but it isn't 1Password.

I use 1Password 7 and only use a local vault (synced across devices with Resilio Sync). There is no reason you have to pay for a subscription if you don't want to.

Why is that surprising? If you kill somebody, you will obviously have some of your rights taken away.

What is unique is how massively overexposed they are to this risk.

Re:Is the era of the $100 graphing calculator coming to an end?

This was common and well known even in the mid 90's with the TI-82. So much so that when my high school calculus class mostly bombed a test, the instructor asked us how we could have possibly failed his test when we were all using "notes" on our calculator.

So if IBM didn't suffer or (publicly) disclose huge losses, it doesn't matter that someone scammed them into hiring unqualified engineers?

Re:Test coverage only matters if it's at 100%
on Friday September 06, 2019 @02:07PM (#20898099)
I think what really matters is that your test coverage percentage increases over time and never goes down. A goal of 100% might be ideal, but is rarely realistic.

Basically, these all say the same thing and aren't _that_ scary aside from the fact they are from the IRS: Amend your prior returns if you owe money. I am curious if they expect the same if you lost money.

1. It doesn't sound realistic
2. It is an article trying to push the narrative that everything is racist
3. CNN
