>He home-schooled their three daughters, primarily in chess, and all three went on to become strong players. An early result was Susan's winning the Budapest Chess Championship for girls under 11 at the age of four. Also his daughter, Judit, could defeat him at chess when she was just five.
Judit became the best female chess player ever and was the youngest GM back then when she was 15.
I don't use my work network for banking, no, because IT monitor and proxy everything and I don't trust the IT dept. Mostly for personal stuff I use my iPhone. Not really any need to use a work computer for that. I don't read "sleazy blogs" at work, in fact I'm not even sure what you mean. If you mean porn, then ewww, no. If you mean things like techcrunch, theverge or hn (which aren't sleazy) then sure, I read those, but i don't need privacy for that.
if I did use the work computer for personal email, It's not like people are sitting on top of each other and 12pt fonts can be read.
This seems to me like kids and their sense of entitlement. Goof off if you want, all you want, but don't expect the company to provide you with privacy just so you don't have to feel bad about it.
Well whenever you take a break from coding you would know that everyone around you knows you are not working. This can be needlessly stressful and would probably lead to people overworking themselves and burning out.
no no, it's not an issue of people actually caring how much you work. I agree that people aren't going to call you out or tell you to work more. It's more of a self-consciousness about taking breaks. People are much harder on themselves than they should be. We try to project an image that we are hardworking and that we don't waste any time at work.
If people were always looking over my shoulder I wouldn't be comfortable having HN open in a window/screen for half the day
BuzzFeed is notorious for STEALING content from other websites. Using pictures without permission isn't the only bad thing they are doing. They even copy/paste chunks of text verbatim into lists without attribution (For example "13 Things You Probably Didn't Know About the Movie 'Clueless" is comprised almost solely of sentences copied from the IMDB trivia page for Clueless, with no sign that they are anything but his own words.). Also their lists are rehashed from other blogs.
>This is because under the Verisign GRS, name servers for second level domains also get entries created. So, you can create a Whois entry for an arbitrarily named server, like ycombinator.com.paulgraham.have.mychildren.com, and it will show up.
I haven't been involved in Whois and tld stuff in a while, but back in the day, these host Whois records were allowed because the gtld servers needed glue for domain names - after all, if your domain name is ycombinator.com and your name server is ns1.ycombinator.com, how can a resolver recurse to find that, unless te gtld servers also have an A record for that label/object?
So, you could just go create arbitrary A records at the gtld level, which would cause a corresponding Whois entry to be created. Hilarity for all involved.
This whole analysis is bad and sensationalistic.
His observation is based on 1 search term. In order to make right conclusion someone should analyze at least tens of thousands (or even hundred of thousands) search terms.
He also analyzed 1st page results only. He didnt even try to see what sets apart 1st page results from 2nd/3rd/4th.
He points to single factor, totally disregarding other factors and their relative importance as part of whole algorithm.
