Although most recruiters try to balance the needs of job hunters and hiring managers, surveys show that tech pros don’t always feel that third-party recruiters have their best interests at heart. It's not a contradiction in terms?

Who finds "a recruiter"? Besides, even the nicest recruiters represent the clients not you. (One rule is if Wipro, or any company working on their behalf, calls, hang up and block the number.)

Straw poll time. Do you think that its more likely that:
0) In the last year:
Go has become 14x more popular
C has lost 42% of its popularity
Java last lost 20% of its popularity
or
1) The Tiobe Index is produced by spiking elephant food with laxatives?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

During exhibitions EVERYTHING that is not nailed down can be stolen. I was in CeBIT 2010 and you can't imagine how much stuff disappeared, even in front of our eyes.
Usually it happens at the closure of the day because in many exhibits everything must be stowed away in as safe place (usually provided by the organizers) for the night. In that hour of movements anything can be carried away... also there is always the possibility of insider theft, simply the laptops were smuggled away when they were supposed to be stowed in said safe place.

Don't they have security cameras at events like this? I want to see the footage. Hard to imagine how someone would go unnoticed taking this thing.

Windows 10 has faced a growing number of privacy concerns in recent months. While Microsoft has responded to some previously, the latest criticism came from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, accusing the software maker of sending an “unprecedented amount of usage data” back to the company with Windows 10. Just the latest ones. The older ones are now 'classics'

Yahoo will be renamed “Altaba” and company CEO Marissa Mayer will step down from its board of directors once its major sale to Verizon closes, according to an 8-K filing released by Yahoo earlier today. Altaba. Really. You're going with that?
First we had the alt-right, now we get alt-ABBA?

What about alt-avista? Oh, wait...

Alt Tab Away - yup sounds about right, if a good decade behind the times.

This is according to research published this month in Computer by a trio of researchers at Peking University that describes a sensing method based not on the conventional received signal strength (RSS) model—which provides information about an environment based on how that environment attenuates a signal—but on an alternative known as channel-state information (CSI), which provides a much richer picture of electromagnetic waves as they bounce around an indoor space. I hope it tells me soon - I'm holding my breath in anticipation
