Not very reassuring that two of the first steps are "copy and paste this stuff from stack overflow to make it work", without any explanation as to why it's needed.

I'm not convinced it's possible for anyone to be free of bias and I don't claim that unpaid reporters are unbiased reporters. The onus will always be on the reader to draw their own conclusions and verify the integrity of the

I have to disagree. People who are passionate about a subject will report on it whether they're paid to or not. I would argue that being motivated by profit only makes you more susceptible to bias.

Not sure why you're being downvoted... It says in the article: After the Journal’s free articles went behind a paywall, Google’s bot only saw the first few paragraphs and started ranking them lower, limiting the Journal’s viewership.

In my experience, a lot of people will answer that they don't mind at all if it's for a greater good. I find people are more persuaded by this argument if you also explain that the greater good might change to be something they&#x

More specifically, we search the Ethereum blockchain for contracts whose bytecode (which is always stored on the blockchain) is similar to that of some known Ponzi scheme. We use the normalized Levenshtein distance (NLD) as a measure of si

No, but the guidelines do say that political news stories are generally considered off topic and I'm not sure there's any interesting discussion to be had or new insight to be gained from this article. It just seems to have invite

What you're describing is formal verification. While I agree with what you're saying, I'm not sure if you're just understating the the complexity of formally verifying systems or if you're implying that "being

I don't know why you think I'm advocating that attitude. I'm not disagreeing that open source is a good thing for security. I'm just saying it's not the silver bullet that some people are claiming it to be. I would

How could you ever possibly verify that?

I had a feeling I might get called out on that... I meant that for all practical purposes, all software is theoretically vulnerable. Of course verifiable computing is a thing, but wildly impractical for most applications. Meticulously maint

I don't think it was so much about the parking ticket but proving a point about the gross violations of power that the city was committing. Ultimately the person responsible should pay the fine, but it's unacceptable that a city p

One reason that comes to mind is that it would just allow the rich to become richer by providing a cheap workforce subsidised by the tax payer. Imagine if a company wanted to pay less than minimum wage, hire a bunch more people and have the
