A Tweet About Hacking Gets a Google Engineer in Trouble
- thewizardofaus 8y agoAnything can be made to suit an agenda when taken out of context. I read the tweet before reading the article. And I understood his intent of the word "attack" immediately.
- tschwimmer 8y agoYeah, but you're likely at least somewhat familiar with cybersecurity. I'm less certain that's true for management at Caesar's Palace or the LVMPD. For the record, I also understood the context of the word attack in this tweet, but I would guess we're in the minority.

- l_t 8y agoBased on the title, I had assumed that Google somehow reprimanded the engineer, but as far as I can tell, Google has nothing to do with the story -- he was kicked out of Caesar's Palace while at Defcon. Well, I wouldn't have clicked on it if the title was "Man Banned From Caesar's Palace For Defcon Tweet", so I guess Wired knows their business.
- senatorobama 8y agoYawn, so sick of news about the enlightened twitterati.
- dang 8y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? You've done it a lot, we've asked you more than once already, and we eventually ban accounts that won't stop doing this. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
