When did you try Uber at SFO? They changed the pickup process a few months ago and it's been a nightmare ever since. I've found the trick is to make the trek through the airport to the International terminal where they're still allowed to pick up curbside.

This is what's really concerning. If FSB was able to actually implement something and shell all nginx boxes (and thusly obtain SSL certs, intercept communications, etc..) imagine how much access they'd have.

Interesting utility. I can see a few really exciting use cases for this.

If I had one wish it'd be native support for syncing generated snapshots to S3 or Google Storage for easy transfers between authenticated systems and users. Maybe I'll take a look at building out a PR for that over the weekend if that's okay

Why can't we ban ibuprofen?

Nicotine is an extremely complex molecule which has been proven to have positive effects in the treatment of autism, as well as mild cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer disease. Blanket statements like this are harmful to the general nature of science and show a disregard for empirical evidence.

Nicotine can be utilized for positive measures at therapeutic levels and was in Phase III clinical trials with the FDA for such uses before the backing pharmaceutical firm ran out of money. I recommend you do some research on Nicotine as a compound and interactions with nicotinic receptors in the body, the pharmacology is actually fascinating.

Segment write keys are technically public. Most sites have them published in the client facing JS

Segment actually does a pretty fantastic job onboarding new personnel and funneling them through security training. Recently gave a great talk here at the Bay Area OWASP meetup about how they've gamified security awareness training with an internal leaderboard and random CTF challenges.

Does anyone actually have up to date interest data on FB these days? I can't remember the last time I "liked" an interest or artist page. All of the data in the system now is leftover from when I was like 15 using the platform (24 now and yes, actively dating).

Only thing I actively use FB for these days is messenger and fantasy football shit talking groups, which are all "private".

That was my thought, but I got syntax complaints after my first tech screen with Google. Now Asana is asking me to do the same so I'm hesitant to even move forward.

lol it's literally the initial tech screen for Google

It's not though. They expect shit to run afterwards. As someone who primarily writes Python (whitespace matters) in Vim (it's universal), having to code in Google Docs is a horrifying experience

My biggest issue is hitting spacebar 20 times in a row. I usually work in Python via Vim so Google Docs is a pure shitshow for me.

"Do you want tabs or spaces?"

> "Spaces please"

"Fuck... okay I guess..."
