Comedy option: 3rd amendment defense.

("No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.")

Yeah, 2 weeks and no response. Well, it was worth a shot :/

"So sorry!"

Winnipeg will rise again.

I remember the first time I visited Tokyo. The subway to Shinjuku station was packed. People seemed annoyed by my bags. We were really crammed in. Someone remarked to me that it was "rush hour" for people going home from their offices.

It was 10pm on a weeknight.

Because it's ours. We were just were kind enough to let you use it.

Wouldn't it look odd to be loitering in a hotel hallway?

But is a condo affordable? When people say "buy a house" that can be a euphemism for "own my dwelling".

"Collectively owned" sounds too socialist for most (uniformed) US voters unfortunately.

Thanks for pointing this out! I sent an email.

I'm also really into film and TV, so I can connect with people on that.

Also politics - public interest lawyers love me.

I got really excited by this devpressed site.

I have Asperger's. Plus PTSD from various stuff that happened as a result of that.

So the idea of a safe place to share my strengths (and weaknesses) and try to find a job that doesn't stress me out was really exciteding. So I fired up Tor[2] and tried to register.

Then the confirmation email never name. I tried resending. Set a timer. Wait 15 minutes. Try not to perseverate.

I only have two emails - my main, plus a very old hotmail account which has now been morphed into an Outlook addy. Outlook has a pretty rich feature set, including aliases[1]. So I thought I'd try that.

"There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later".

I go through the process again on Outlook. Set a timer for 15 minutes. Try not to perseverate.

I guess I could use my personal email (my first name at my last name dot com), but frankly part of why I was excited about registering.

Maybe the issue is I did the initial account registration over Tor. Or maybe I'm just particuarly unlucky today.

All I know is my rational brain quietly whisper "Oh, just go back later, it's probably some server side bug", and my emotional brain yells back... other things.

I guess I could sign in with my Twitter, but if you'd been through what I've been through, you'd have trouble trusting people too. That's how I got into privacy and security work... feeling like I had a secret, and I needed to protect it.

[1] http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-alias-account [2] Yeah, a VPN is probably sufficient but lately I'm interested in how much of the web is closed off to Tor users due to crazy captchas and other gotchas.

Define "good STEM education".

I had cable internet very early in it's history, and I used to for things other than playing Half Life.

I did not end up going to Stanford, but I went to a decent state school and while I'm not rich, I'm certainly much better of than friends who had other majors.

I once went drinking with a couple very smart women in Mountain View. Both went to a very well known school, got good grades, and had degrees in math heavy STEM fields.

One worked for Google, and lived in a shared house in Sunnyvale because it was the only way to save towards something

The other was a teacher at a fancy school up in SF that will remain un-named. She literally lived in a kitchen pantry in the tenderloin. (Deep pantry - deep enough to fit a bed).

How do we know this isn't double speak?

Maybe they aren't listening to the conversations per se, but for an audio beacons in television and radio?

Ok, so not a physics expert so this might sound stupid, but could this mean that radioactive decay is not truly random, just that we can't currently model it? If so, that could have some interesting implications for crypto systems that use radioactive decay as a random seed...

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

Could they be trying to serve her?

Or promoted into management where they implode due to being introverts who can't politic well.

I'm surprised the drug trip sitting chatroom blacklists Tor.

To be fair once you've propsed a thesis your PhD is pretty much on autopilot. There's very little question he would have graduated.

One fun fact: Since Tinder requires a FB login, the DC OKCupid is chock filled with spooks.

Wouldn't the police be able to see that a PI service looked up the person's social security number?

As someone who was interviewed (and rejected) for a UX role at Google, this incident doesn't surprise me. They seem very focused on A/B tests and don't seem to value qualitative research very much, and when they do it's usually survey based.

Wouldn't your payment to such a service be tracable, if it was used for a nefarious purpose?
