It is both work and a job, in this example. But it's an occupied job, where the poster is discussing communal job creation through joint bargaining power rather than a corporate monolith. Your second statement is right on the money.

Imagine a pirate vessel drifting through space, compromising ships' OSes with a LADAR- or comms-based zero-day.

There's also a vast difference in the types of work being done outside vs in an office; when was the last time you heard someone sing while documenting code?

Except there's no guarantee your phone will even contain a payload. Just the chance that some devices may have it, and there's no way to know for certain. And if they take in even one phone to scan that carries the exploit, it c

That element has already been evaluated, and is re-evaluated every time this argument is made. A private platform is free to censor users as they see fit, as the users are free to A) not use their platform at all, B) use a competing platfor

Because we know the absurd amount of guns that surrounds us at any given time, and are acutely aware of how flimsy hunting and personal protection are as excuses for the intent behind the ownership of small arsenals.

FF is my main browser as well, and the only place where I've ever had to switch to Chrome is for our ERP system's web-based GUI; apparently Rocket, the engine it's based on, has some known issue where it doesn't accept c

That's not even the crux of the issue, so maybe we should get a little introspective about our own qualifications while we're at it. The problem is that negative tests are counted each time, while positives are per-person. So one

Or more likely, it highlights a failing of the civic institutions' responsibilities to properly address the problem themselves, rather than relying on an external service provider, whatever the source. That is to say, in this day and a

I don't see how the supercar analogy is any different than the standard use case of a phone camera vs a standalone. Sure, a standalone gets you higher resolution, optical zoom, etc, but consider where those photos are most likely to be

They literally title him "The MAD Titan" because everyone agrees his plan is idiotic. I'm not sure it gets more obvious than that. That said, it made a lot more sense in the comics when he was doing it because he fell in love

Really? In my experience, it's been the opposite; I graduated high school in '06, and had to make a point to unlearn some of those phrases which had become habit, when it finally became clear to me how problematic that actually wa

Take heart! It doesn't help for these forced updates, either. Mine has "partially downloaded" as of this week, and now keeps forgetting that I have a valid copy of Windows at all - it floats an "Activate Windows now!&quo

Interestingly, I don't see a payout linked to Zerodium directly. What happens if someone they do business with decides they can just grab the keys to the castle directly? I wonder if they'd bargain, or just set another bounty on t

I'm fairly certain the implication here is that he was not, in fact, checking with Legal or anyone, but simply holding off to make it seem as if he was and it was too late to question.

Have you heard of Armok Vision? It's a 3D visualizer being developed by modders so that you can view your fortress in 3D (I think even in real-time).[1] [1] https://github.com/JapaMala/armok-vision

I think if your comment draws downvotes, it would be because it implies that simply because the UK is in a better place overall, that efforts to improve are unnecessary. Just because you're doing okay doesn't mean you shouldn'

I feel like this is the entry point to a new piece of dark speculative fiction, in which extreme age is venerated, and the number of goats attached to your back becomes a symbol of your wealth and power.

That's fantastic for you, but not everyone has the luxury of choice. I'm in PA, and the only option we have here is Comcast. Pretty shitty, being forced to choose the lesser of one evil.

Just had the same issue. You can select it, but can't see that you've selected it. Probably some weird CSS interaction.
