So if someone did come up with such a great idea, why not implement it themselves and make more than a relatively paltry $15K for coming up with an idea of that could save millions.

You have to admire this kind of honesty. They admit their business is to serve ads. So complaints about "journalistic integrity" can't really be made of this site (or indeed any other).
"What Apple *should* do (and should have already done), is to create a security system that they would not have the ability to help the FBI hack into. They have already indicated they are working on this."
Precisely. I can think of at least two ways to do this that would make the "skeleton key" scenario moot. One of those ways would make brute forcing impossible, but would require significantly greater processor power and memory.
I like uBlock, but it doesn't play well with Ghostery. I haven't decided which is better, and so I run both and let them battle it out.
The "White List" thing sounds like a cool idea in theory, but in practice, I find a "black list" thing is more desirable, particularly when you block javascript.
Most sites require javascript. But some sites do obnoxious stuff like preventing printing or stop you from trying to copy text. That's where I want to block Javascript.
Javascript blocking should at this point be a blacklist option.

In the old days, it was better. A lot has changed since the old days.
Didn't this happen in roughly 1995 already?
Everybody always says the opposite of what they mean.
If they call themselves the "web of trust", then it means exactly the opposite.
Real blockers like uBlock Origin don't try so hard to convince you of what they're doing.
"'m pretty sure both lyft and uber prohibit people from driving for both."
They do not. In Seattle and many other cities drivers display stickers for both and take fares from both.
It's an awful lot of complexity just to make water really hot.
There's got to be a better. Maybe this:

Nobody knows who Sean Parker is.
Nobody even remembers what Napster is anymore. C'mon. One sentence.

You are correct. The proper way to disclaim them was to say "we have no idea what these emails are or what they represent,"

It was WSJ that broke the story this morning, CNet is summarizing it.
The original article is here.

There are currently a total of 13 extensions available
That's with fringe benefits which are at least 33% of that cost.
So multiple $127k * 0.66 to get their salary... or about $83K per year.
That's not a lot for tech workers in one of the most expensive cities in the US

" This is in clear violation of the spirit of the law "
If this was common law, you might have a point.
But there is no "spirit of the law" in tax law nor in corporate contract law. The law is about the "letter of the law.
If you disagree, tell the IRS you won't pay your taxes, because their laws are a "clear violation of the spirit of the US Constitution".
Let us know how that works for you.
"Annoying 'Open PDF In Edge' Default Option Puts Windows 10 Users At Risk "

You have two types of Windows 10 users... those who use Chrome, and those who still want to use IE.

"There wouldn't be any liability on you, because you're just like a passenger in a taxi," says Santa Clara University law professor Robert Peterson."
Somebody better tell the good professor the owner would be the first on hook.
"And that is why Honda has the reputation that they have."

Tesla is not considered a reliable car as shown Consumer Reports owner surveys.
"Building an app, for example, can't be done in a couple of hours, it "requires multi-dimensional learning contexts, pathways and projects."
While this is complete gobbledygook, apparently nobody knows the difference between Computer Science and Software Engineering.
You can study computer science and not be able to write a line of code.
Conversely, you can be a software engineer, and know almost nothing of computer science.
They are separate discipline. And it's not clear of the value of learning either for most student.
H1-B is bringing in guest workers to the United States, but keeping the work in house.
Offshoring is simply moving the work to a foreign country.
The article and summary seem to have confused the two.
The headline:
"U.S. Goverment Shames Texting Drivers on Twitter "
Is what should be shamed. Stare at it for a while, boys.

If Obama said that, what is he really saying?
