News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

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.

I have seen right-wing brought up multiple times, how does the same not apply to the far left?
Re:Setting up a home VPN server with WireGuard on Friday November 01, 2019 @05:29PM (#21423903)
I have been running wireguard through an AWS instance, so far at least I have had zero issues like you describe.
Why is that surprising? If you kill somebody, you will obviously have some of your rights taken away.
Re:WeWork is planning to lay off up to 25% of its employees on Thursday October 03, 2019 @07:39PM (#21153414)
> The main risk with We is that there's a recession, occupancy drops to 50%, and they're stuck with the leases. But that's not a unique risk.

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

Fastmail is no longer owned by Opera, it was spun off in 2013.
Re:Is the era of the $100 graphing calculator coming to an end? on Monday September 23, 2019 @07:04PM (#21054715)
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.
Re:My father was IBM’s first black software engineer on Sunday September 22, 2019 @06:28PM (#21044382)
So if IBM didn't suffer or (publicly) disclose huge losses, it doesn't matter that someone scammed them into hiring unqualified engineers?
Re:Hold That Recession: U.S. Indicators Are Trouncing Forecasts on Saturday September 21, 2019 @10:51PM (#21039337)
you seem to be contradicting yourself

> a yield inversion may or may not lead to a recession

> all inversions eventually lead to a recession

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.
Re:16M Americans will vote on hackable paperless machines on Wednesday August 21, 2019 @03:20PM (#20760620)
that seems logical; I fail to understand the argument that some form of voter identification like this is 'racist'
Re:Uber Lays Off 400 on Monday July 29, 2019 @04:45PM (#20559248)
Which would mean they do _not_ make a profit on each ride.
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.
That tends to happen when you make up facts.
Re:What it's like to be a white woman named LaKiesha on Saturday June 15, 2019 @04:18PM (#20191891)
The assumptions you make are amusing, and some might even say racist.
Re:What it's like to be a white woman named LaKiesha on Saturday June 15, 2019 @03:06PM (#20191546)
1. It doesn't sound realistic 2. It is an article trying to push the narrative that everything is racist 3. CNN

If true, yes.

This repo violates GitHub TOS, specifically it "contains or installs any active malware or exploits"

Maybe you should send the site a list of domains you allow so they can tailor their articles for you?
Complaining multiple times about being downvoted tends to add to more downvotes.

This post has hit number one on the front page, so I assume I am out of the loop; why is this significant?
How is that not just a factual statement? Some may not like reality, but it is what it is.
I can't imagine using Google services if one is remotely privacy conscious. Just from your own defense:

Layoffs happen; these kind of whiny twitter rants aren't really helpful for anyone.
