From the article: "Thanks to a vigilant operator and several redundancies, the heightened level of sodium hydroxide never caused a public threat." I have a problem with the language here. This was absolutely a public threat. The

For some context on why this cost-plus is necessary and great, several generic manufacturers have been colluding and price-fixing. There are ongoing lawsuits from the Department of Justice and 46 states, and at least one pharma co pled guil

I'm for legalization of marijuana but think that's a terrible idea. This effectively makes one person the arbiter of law.

Constitution has some excellent checks and balances but the blanket pardon isn't one of them. The pardon doesn't do anything to address systemic problems in the justice system and has become a channel for doling out political fav

Discord is great for building community, but the chat format isn't really great for general advice/Q&A. 80-90% of people will have some relatively basic question that should have one canonical answer. And the experts will qu

Newton often gets derided for his unfruitful efforts at unlocking alchemy, but there's something admirable there. He was willing to take on bold, grand ideas that were not obviously wrong. I'd even venture to say that in the 17th

I have no illusions I could easily create anything on the level of complexity of ITA (super impressive team/product). If I were to do this, it'd be a layer on top of some flight API doing the heavy lifting.

I recently had the frivolous idea of creating a flight search engine for flights that DID NOT use the 737 Max. Any actual interest in this?

Took a closer look at the study and the patient population was from a small town in Germany, Heidelberg. It'd probably be a fair guess that there's not a lot of variation in the patients' ethnicity so in this particular case

Authors controlled for age, sex. But I'd like to see additional control for race. Black people have less Vitamin D due to melanin blocking sunlight. And black people are disproportionately impacted by COVID. So I'm now curious

Nice! This seems to fit my learning style well. I prefer to understand why something matters, than progressively probe backwards into the theory.

Congratulations Chase. You've just increased the probability that the next security researcher who discovers a vulnerability says nothing to you, or worse sells the exploit on the black market.

Let's not be ageist. Congressional leaders can be made aware of and informed on the regulatory and sociological impact of tech...if it was a priority for them. We DO have a problem of leaders not being well informed on many topics the

Insurance puts skin in the game for the insurance/security company. If a security company audits my system and gives the greenlight, they should be willing to put money on the line to defend their work.

How good are these reviews really? I'm thinking of top tier security pros on the calibre of Project Zero/Google. Doubt most hacks would have gotten past a thorough audit by those folks.

Attacks like this make me think there's a real ($1+ billion opportunity) business in making an tech-first insurance company for security incidents. Write insurance policies to major companies. But as a pre-condition for getting under-

If your company is being actively targeted by nation states (and rest assured, Grindr is), you should have a serious security team where this sort of stuff shouldn't have seen the light of day. I'm not exaggerating when I say this
