Easy way to short circuit this - it's possible to follow their dress code and still look slutty. They want tops with collars? Fine - just don't button thrm up. Curve-accentuating jeans, shoes with clear acrylic heels (the ones worn b Trisha Heffer in Battlestar Galactica were originally obtained for $20 from Walmart). Purple or pink hair, etc. And guys, sporting bed hair all day, every day, should get your ball caps back. And get your kilts - and stay authentic - no tidy-whities.
Some rules are just begging to be broken in specific circumstances.
They can't or they would have already realized that there is no incentive to work for free so they can make money. Looks more like they can't afford to keep paying coders, or don't want to. Hey, why not work for me for free and I'll keep any money? No? Gee, not such a hot idea, is it.
I don't think anyone is in a rush to welcome our "All your free labor belongs to us" wanna be overlords.
Many of us can - but I wouldn't want Wu to be one such. Too many lies, and too many transsexuals go to extreme feminism as a way to help deny their past even to themselves.
Caitlyn Jenner has already stated that she currently sees herself as asexual, but probably more of a lesbian. When people transition, sometimes the sex they're attracted to also changes, sometimes it doesn't. And Ms Wu is already married, so I guess that's not going to happen unless she wants to ride Jenner's coat tails and get more attention.
Didn't see that I had accidentally touched the post anon check box. Using the sit on a phone sucks. I suspect it will be fixed around the time they fix Unicode support - not holding my breath.
To the other question, I have made it clear that she is playing the victim card for all its worth, both as a shield and a sword. Like many, I don't buy that all the harassment was genuine; recently the authorities were asked about the investigation and said they're not in the business of embarrassing people. Ouch!
Some trans adopt a hyper-feminist line to deflect attention from the whole question of their previous gender. It's a technique some trans also use to affirm their legitimacy as real women while attacking others and denying them the same courtesy. Slashdot should have asked the hard questions. Wu should realize that when you become a publicity whore you're fair game. Of course a denial would have produced proof to the contrary, and an admission after refusing to provide a clear answer for so long would make people wonder if she saw her past as an impediment to being accepted as a woman.
Brianna Wu doesn't fail to disappoint yet again. Always ducking the hard questions. Too bad the truth is already out there, and failing to address it yet again only adds more confirmation. Cowardly to the end.
Note the weasel words "up to 16%". It means nothing. It could even be true if most certs have a negative impact on income. The lack of hard numbers says a lot.
You're been able to stuff data into the keyboard buffer and read it back for decades. Same as sticking executable code or data in an unused page of video ram that doesn't get reinitializes so it can survive a warm reboot. Ditto for a modem buffer (already an I/o device), as well as the buffer in a serial mouse. Even the old parallel printer ports.
The site operates from Canada. The law (Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Documents Act, aka PIPEDA) requires that all personal private information be deleted when the purpose for gathering it has passed. ALM web sites were not allowed to keep a copy and then charge money to permanently scrub data on closed accounts. Class action suit, anyone?
Who cares? Reality TV producers are pouring over the list right now to get the reactions of both the cheaters and their spouses. Popcorn shortages are imminent. Ditto divorce lawyers and body bags.
After a couple of decades of high profile data thefts (banks, govt, Microsoft, Apple, computer security firms) anyone who puts something on the internet and expects it to stay secret is a special kind of stupid.
Internet dating is for people who don't have the social skills to meet people and engage in more than a nod or good morning in passing. The same people who don't know their next door neighbors and then complain they have nobody to talk to. Getting out and actually doing something, which would help address the problem, is too outside their comfort zone due to lack of practice. I predict a rise in similar scams targeted at the aging male programmer population who think they'll never fall for it.
Corporations don 't hire the most talented people. If Chrysler had promoted ed Lutz instead of hiring the other end, Daimler would have not been able to buy and then abandoned it.
You wouldn't see so many revolving door ceos who are paid to leave after screwing up (reddit, anyone? Balmer? The dufus who oversaw Apple's near death experience? )
You'd have the same results hiring qualified people at random.
"Not stupid?" To the contrary, extremely stupid. When you want to believe something so badly that you throw all caution to the wind, giving strangers all your money, you are dumb.
Not naive. Dumb and desperate.
The worst part is that when friends and family point out how its obviously a catfish, the victim turns on them and not the scammer
Nah, they will just continue to follow Gloria Steinem by attacking transsexual women with her exclusionary woman-born-woman nonsense.
SJW is yet another cult, and all cults need to have a hate target to blame and make them feel special.

I wish there was a preview button on the mobile site ... But what the heck, this is Dice.

You might not be a primary source TODAY, but we have the technology to fix that ;-)

We initially disbelieved her because of the lies, nothing to do with sex or gender. That came later.

Oops sorry for the bold. My bad.

Always ducking the hard questions. That's not news or stuff that matters. I do not welcome our click bait overlords

Or maybe they have realized that a dog is the only love that money can buy ... same as many men, I suspect.

Yet another internet scam. This is not the 90s, so please GTFO and DIAF.

Troll is obvious troll. Please report to the nearest hospital for a sex change so you can be less of a prick.
