Until recently I had 100MB mobile data per month. This is in a first world country. Just linking to your page could have DoS'd me for weeks.


> 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave and 4 weeks of fully paid paternity leave

Just out of curiosity: why the difference between maternity leave and paternity leave?


Paternity leave policies are rare or only just becoming popular benefits differentiators in the US.


I'm not sethhochberg, but if I had to guess: Government regulations.


A relevant detail to that story is that he admitted his guilt under questioning. Had he continued to deny any involvement, they would not have been able to prove that he was sending the bomb threat, as it could have been from someone who wasn't on campus.


Very true. But there have been several instances of cases like this. And this thing doesn't matter if your VPN logs or not[+]. But what I was trying to point out is that these types of access collisions are important to understand. And why I don't think people should roll their own VPN.

[+] I'm not trying advocate crime here or advising how to avoid it. Just trying to bring to light a vulnerability.


> And why I don't think people should roll their own VPN.

People who are interested in not being identified probably shouldn't. But there are good security reasons to potentially do so.


Criminals are great examples, because their OPSEC failures are often detailed in court records, reported in the media, and discussed online. One of my articles on IVPN's website uses several such OPSEC failures (Silk Road, Sheep Marketplace, etc) as examples.


Is it really? That's 16 hours of work 5 days a week. If you sleep for 8h you don't do anything but work or learn for all of your waking hours.

A more reasonable person would probably put a fair amount of learning time on the weekend, but even then you leave very little time for a social life, physical exercise, eating, relaxing.. things that most healthy people, if not everyone, requires.


Working 40 hours per week and sleeping 8 hours at night leaves you 72 hours of free time a week so you still have time for other activities.

Also, learning and hobby projects can include social aspects.


From what I heard Ensure doesn't aim to be nutritionally complete. It's designed to replace unhealthy snacks with a healthier alternative.

Soylent on the other hand can replace most (possibly all) of your meals, if you want that. And if you don't get a moldy batch.


> From what I heard Ensure doesn't aim to be nutritionally complete. It's designed to replace unhealthy snacks with a healthier alternative.

The main Ensure product on the market does not, but there are versions that are used for literally this exact purpose. I forget whether Ensure (the brand) produces it or if it's under a different company/name, but it's definitely there. You just have to read the label - it'll indicate if it's meant as a complete food substitute or not.


This website shows all popular products that were spawned from the Soylent "craze": https://www.blendrunner.com/

Personally I use Joylent (I think it's the most used brand in Europe; also they now call themselves JimmyJoy/Plennyshake) and as far as I am aware they never had any issues like Soylent did. It's also a bit cheaper than Soylent, but sadly doesn't offer a liquid version. Just powder that you have to mix with water and a snack bar.


So how does one go about finding open source projects with easy tasks?


You need to decide what you might be interested in first. Then search for a small project on Github, Bitbucket5, etc., that does something like that or related to that and see if they have any open bugs that need fixing or a list of features that they want implemented.

It's probably best to ignore any projects that have not had any recent contributions at this stage because the maintainer might have lost interest so you won't get any feedback about your contributions.


As the article states, the top 100 chess players in the world are male. The field is incredibly male-dominated and even though women and men should be equal, the reasoning between splitting it tournaments by gender is that women would otherwise get discouraged.


The worst part is: it doesn't even look good/modern now. They should have gone with this:

http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

(excuse the profanity)


The original is much nicer, same URL without the "better".


Downvotes? The look of the original website (the URL without the "better" [1]) much closer resembles the original c2 wiki style. The CSS is not even needed in this case.

Not IMO. Better is better.
