Why put all that time and energy to get naked photos of women just to extort them not for money or sex, but for more photos? Is the Internet running out of porn? This seems like a high risk low reward crime.

There are many cultures that view just being a woman no matter how attractive or successful as unequal.

Yep. I was telling my wife a few weeks ago that the RLM guys have really satisfied a social need I have had for the past few years. I don't know what it is about them.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks!

I really like documentation sites like this. But viewing this on an iPad Pro with Safari makes it impossible once you select a page such as Syscalls then command write. The menu bar with synopsis, description, etc, covers up about a third of the left side of the screen and there aren't enough context clues to get anything out. Is there a way after selecting a page and then a topic that I can hide the sliding menu window?

I do like what you have.

Out of curiosity, is the proper clap speed the same as their song from their commercials? If so I feel like I could nail that cadence every time.

Only on TV. People in casinos can be sticklers when you verbally announce one action and then tack on another. Imagine saying something like, "I call" look for a reaction and if that person looks dejected quickly follow Up with, "and raise you $x". It is sometimes referred to as "Angle shooting"

My experience while interviewing with MS is somewhat similar with respect to not hearing back after each stage. The initial phone interview was quick with what seemed like a lower level HR person who asked basic questions from a list with many mispronunciations of MS SQL technologies. I didn't hear anything for three weeks so I called them and they said, "Oh yeah. We want to schedule another phoner with the product team". A few days later I interviewed with for about an hour with two engineers and it was more inline with what I had expected. This time I sent an email the next day thanking them hoping that would at least keep me in the back of their minds. Same thing. About three weeks later I called to find out my status. "Oh yeah. We would like to fly you to Virginia for an in person interview this week". They set up my flight and hotel and I went through three interviews with different groups and left thinking, "Well that was horrible and embarrassing. They are way above anyone I had ever worked with". Same thing. Sent an email thanking them along with my expenses. About six weeks later I needed to know my status since funds were getting low. I called them up and was told I wasn't ready to work for them. But I should add them on LinkedIn to keep in touch. My self esteem was pretty shot, but I ended up with a pretty sweet job that week. I still get emails from them every once in a while when a position opens up, but three years later I still get a little anxious when those emails hit.

So yeah, their post interview stage communication seems to be the weakest part of a process I am sure I was one of hundreds going through at that time.

I love reading this story. Whenever it pops up on HN or Reddit it's such a motivational read. Sometimes people involved will jump in the comment section to add details which helps document the lore of one of the best early computing stories.

I get frustrated when Tesla blames the driver for these crashes by saying that they aren't touching the wheel or are ignoring messages. It is extremely common for my car to warn me to keep my hands on the when WHILE I have my hands on the wheel. Even shaking it a little will sometimes not cancel out the warnings. It doesn't seem to matter if my hands are on the top or bottom of the wheel. Anything short of a deathgrip and constant jiggling of the wheel doesn't seem to consistantly register as keeping your hands on the wheel. Anyone who has used Autopilot for a significant amount of time has been beeped at for not having their hands on the wheel even though they are. And yes, the car will make crazy maneuvers at times that no driver in their right mind would make. I still like it and am glad I opted for it, but it is far from earning its namesake.

At first I was cringing, but then felt nostalgic for the days before Facebook and other social gathering sites homogenized people's Internet presence.

Very cool. I am using it now to write this comment!

I have used Vagrant for a few years and never had an issue. All of my source code is shared/synced on the system drive. I use Go, Python, and lots of Javascript frameworks which are all installed and compiled in Vagrant. It's really nice not having all of the frameworks and compilers installed on my work environment. If I need to run a web server or DB I will either apt-get install it in the current Vagrant VM or create a second VM and configure ports in the Vagrantfile to make sure they can talk. I recently started to use Docker to run those services so my Vagrant environment is quickly just becoming the area where I run the tools associated with code compiling.

Same here. There is rarely a day that I don't have to disengage because of a car moving into my lane a little too close and Autopilot doesn't see it. It's great in bumper to bumper traffic, but at highway speed there are too many blindspots.
