   I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Document all the facts with no emotion whatsoever, along with time stamps of when each fact occurred. If there are others that you know for a fact are not two-faced that will also provide stat

   That is specific to the Linux code itself which is taken from upstream. Linux distro vendors provide a contractual relationship with their customer base that provide SLA's around patching security defects and bugs. They also enforce

   I agree, I am riding on the backs of people using RHEL. There is a direct contractual relationship between those companies and Redhat. In my case, I am relying on the other companies having that relationship and I can still say some effor

   I think it is about legal culpability. If I am running CentOS in my datacenter, there is some degree of confidence that the packages were rebuilt by the CentOS team, a few members of which are Redhat employees. Redhat have an obligation t

   I would suggest that depends on how they present the community artifacts. If they provide a good deal of obvious disclaimers that the artifacts are built by Joe Random and "Use at your own peril", etc, then they are probably cove

   If you didn't build the container, then you are putting all your trust and your companies private bits in the hands of Joe Random. Please do not blame the technology. This problem existed long before containers and will exist long aft

    I can't speak to the street vendor laws, but I can say in general, laws usually have a bit of wiggle room, which is the very reason things go to a judge or county clerks office. Law enforcement usually have enough wiggle room to allow

    There is a middle ground, which I have done for hobby sites that sometimes get popular by mistake. I set up dozens of caching reverse proxies, distributed on a few VPS providers. Each VM then uses strongswan to route to my primary origin s

    Serious question. Why do we spend so much time on Mars? Are we planning for evacuation of Earth? I think it is clear that Mars is not suitable for mass migration. Are we looking for evidence that Mars was Earth Version 1 and that we evacu

    Disclaimer: Taboo comment ahead. Subtle bugs in self driving cars would be a simple way to assassinate people with low cost overhead. One OTA update to a target and you could probably even get video footage of the job being completed, sen

    This seems like a great opportunity to reverse engineer the code, have a competition to find the top ten best / easiest ways to neuter the code or make it give fake feedback, then publicize your competition findings. Perhaps you can fi

    Perhaps because dev machines might use cc for something else. Try \cc and see if it invokes a compiler.

    I agree with the concern around too many things depending on Github for real time builds and deployment. In regards to MITM, that can happen regardless of who maintains the repositories. If an NSL is issued, compliance is mandatory. A gag

    Do a DNS lookup of sites you trust on your ISP and on your VPN and using public resolvers. Look up who owns those IP's using web based whois sites over your VPN. That should give you more information to make an informed decision.
