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.
It is, of course, a power thing. Yes, there's an endless supply of porn, but the "real thing," especially if gathered without consent or explicitly agains their will, is "more satisfying." To be clear, not advocating for this.
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.
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?
They also said that areas close to critical infrastructure (hospitals, fire stations, police stations) are being prioritized. Explains why some of my friends in town haven’t lost any power all day
I vaguely remember a sitcom where someone had to watch a important event with friends on TV and someone else installed a clapper on said TV. Everything went well until the applause kicked in.
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.
