tempting

Must have been really tempting to just sack it off as a bad job. Congrats to the team!

> It's so tempting to stay on master, to think "It's just a quick fix, it's not worth branching for!" You can have your cake and eat it too.

But it's so tempting to sit in their offices and let PR firms bring the stories to them. After all, they know good PR firms won't lie to them.

It's wrong, but the potential of schadenfreude is very tempting.

No matter how tempting. You can not take the resulting group and use it like a handle to move people's opinions around in any direction.

- re:meetups^2: at first, it can be tempting to go to meetups 2-3 times a week or more. I've found it to be pretty draining after a while - not all meetups are created equal, sadly.

I know bashing Microsoft is oh-so-tempting, but can you at least try discussing the actual article here?

No wonder these bureaucrats are willing to so thoroughly overstep the law, that kind of power must be very tempting.

It's tempting to slip back into a world where you're not benefiting anybody and profiting thereby. So in that sense it's hard to separate my motives then from that of the author.

As tempting as that might be, don't do it. You seriously undermine your ability to get any reference from someone working there and, honestly, this tends to make whoever is slinging mud look bad as well.

"the adventure found at a nimble 250-person startup like Dropbox becomes more tempting" What is the definition of a startup these days, anyway?

Using flags in your visual design can be tempting but in my experience it's a bad idea. The problem is that certain flags force you to "take sides" in political disputes that you likely aren't aware of and don't understand.

It's tempting to push these responsibilities off like any other, but like other commentors said, it runs directly contrary to your duty to be healthy and present for your team. Dead entrepreneurs make no products.

"Banks arent the problem, he said; the users tempting banks with their Twitter and Facebook postings are the problem. As are reporters who write about privacy issues with social media without first closing their Facebook accounts."

If Rails is an easy target it's probably because the apparent ease of implementation makes it tempting to grow your app. Here's a suggestion, a constructive suggestion: Try not to stuff you app with everything you can possibly think of.

It will be very tempting to tap it to pay for your wedding, your first home, a medical emergency, your kids' college, etc etc, but if you do this, you will not have it at retirement. This is far and away the largest risk associated with self-directed retirement accounts.

It's tempting to dismiss this as just e-lebrity gossip, but I think that this kind of rottenness is probably more dangerous to the Valley than threats from Washington or talk of bubbles. If who you know and how well you can politic overshadows what you did and the results you got, then you're in trouble.

For instance, in this case, a single mass-email or email "virus" had gone out and was tempting a large number of users to give out their credentials. Instead of blocking the site that was collecting the credentials, a better solution would have been to remove the email from the mailboxes of all the students.

While it's tempting to get obsessed with Snowden, his character, his job, why he leaked etc, and create grand conspiracy theories surrounding it, it's more healthy to discuss the facts we do know and their implications for how we use the internet. More information will come to light in time, and the information we do know raises serious questions about just how far state surveillance should be allowed to go.

I've had to deal with situations like this myself, and no matter how tempting it is to blame the customer -- even when the customer is manifestly at fault -- it never, ever, ever improves the situation. It just makes things worse, first by giving the angry customer something new to be angry about, and second by deflecting you from the more important question of what you can do to prevent the situation from happening again.

That's because if you have that option, they might not sell you music unless you exercise it, probably giving up many of the rights you have under copyright law; while if you don't have that option, they are faced with a less tempting choice of only selling you a CD. Advocates of these systems sometimes design systems where you have full freedom to run either signed or unsigned software, claiming that this makes their systems safe from abuse. This overlooks this phenomenon, where having a freedom makes you subject to pressure to exercise it.
