Could someone suggest recognized and useful certifications, for those interesting getting into cybersecurity? The article has a link to another mentioning CompTIA and CISSP, are they any good?

For those that have been using the service and have actual pentesting experience, how applicable are the challenges to the real world? Similar challenges I took in the past seemed like fun games, but still games.

I'm not saying that something like this does not exists (and I know for certain that some people overstay their visas), but it just seems silly to me that people coming from countries with similar quality of life and opportunities as t

I must have entered/exited US about a dozen times in the last few years and I always had my passport checked by someone in uniform just before Security, when leaving. Are these people not from Immigration/Border control?

When you enter the country you get a stamp with your entry date. Doesn't this get checked when you leave, at passport control? I would think at the very least it would raise a huge red flag the next time you try to enter US... I also d

I assume you are talking about this guy, since there are not many ex-CIA charged with Vault7 leaks who risk a life sentence. I don't know enough about the case to form an opinion about it, but at first glance, uploading CIA-related sou

The assumption in the example is that the product being sold is a commodity, which cannot be differentiated significantly in terms of pricing or quality. It limits its applicability, but it doesn't mean the model is incorrect. https:&

When the first smartphones came out, they were prohibitively expensive, and for a few years I carried a very basic traditional cellphone and an iPod touch. In 2019, when there are smartphones at any price point, each of those with the same

How do you tell a white collar worker from a blue collar worker? The white collar worker washes his hands after going to the bathroom stall, the blue collar worker before.

"Japanese GDP now is ~$500B less than it was in 1995." Yet in 2012 it was $800B more than in 1995? From your graph it has been mostly been stable.

I was in Kobe a few weeks ago and it was the same, all over the city center. As a consumer honestly there is little to complain, they ARE very convenient. But grandparent is correct: a lot of items are expensive for what they are (some of t

Well, parent tried to understand the problem, used the tools at his hand to solve it without preconceptions, and realized it was more complex that it seemed. The world would be a better place if more people had the same approach to problem-

Press can be made accountable for what it reports to a large extent, outright lies can be called out and the newspaper or whoever signs the byline can be sued in extreme cases. An anonymous fake news article has no risk or accountability f

It is an oversemplification, but it is acceptable in most cases IMHO. While there are individual differences, European countries' welfare/tax systems tend to have a lot more in common between themselves than with the US.

While I agree in principle, in practice you would have no guarantee that the money companies would save on taxes would directly go to increasing employees' wages, which would have to balance the increased individual taxes that you ment

Tax rates are progressive, meaning that those with lower income pay significantly less than those with high earnings. Taxes are used to finance and subsidize common services such as heathcare, public transport and education, which people wi

I find interesting though that the Rust code that generates a larger binary is about as complex and lengthy as the C code, while the Rust code which generates a smaller binary is clearly clunky and nobody would ever use it. Of course it is

Got positively angry when reading a story about this on a major Italian newspaper, which of course claimed that the solution had been found, offering little detail. A bit more information on this article, but it seems as sketchy as past cla

That is basically what the articles is saying, although not in your terms. "After paternity leave was instituted, surveys of Spanish men ages 21 to 40 showed they desired fewer children than before. Farré and González think that spendi

I guess that if someone doesn't think the terms are legal, they are fully entitled to take it to court against an army of Google lawyers... Does someone knows of some instance of ToS from a big company being challenged in court?
