This is painting with a broad brush-- 160k in student debt is on the higher end of the spectrum, even for individuals who pursue secondary degrees (MD, JD, MBA, etc) or choose to pursue programs at for profit schools. Perhaps this individua

Does anyone else find it creepy that Tesla can track every door and button press across their entire fleet in real time? Does Tesla release reports on how often this usage information is requested by law enforcement agencies and or how many

Well, that would hurt, and you would have to permanently damage the entire fingerprint-- as only a small section of the scanned print is really needed to make a match. IANAL: but I would imagine a sour faced judge could call it contempt or

Good, let HR get a hold of it, figure out who all the people sharing numbers are and fire them. Surely scalping a ton of mid level engineers at major tech firms for sharing their salaries online will fix that pesky problem of soaring profit

I suspect there are a myriad of technical means to pop the phone, including the method you outline, but I doubt the FBI has the talent or connections to get it done in way that would be presentable to court. (I.E. Nobody in house is capable

Backing this up with more anecdata, I have had zero problems finding excellent offers at firms where technology is "the product" not just a cost to be cut, and far from the valley at that!

Even without purpose built weapons attached, a 400g UAV with 3200g max thrust potential can do some serious damage at top speed! Multirotors are fun, but "flying lawnmower" is not an uncharitable description! Email in profile if y

The sad truth is that the 10% that _don't_ do this are the lone wolf / indie devs or small shops focusing on a single app. It's the large corps that _should_ be held to a higher standard but aren't, and take advantage o

Honestly if you are paying any attention what-so-ever to bitcoin and using /r/btc or /r/bitcoin as your primary or sole source of information then you deserve every bad thing that happens to you. When two-bit-idiot or wh

"route everything through government surveillance" is perhaps a bit too blunt, but let's not forget that Microsoft was the founding member of the PRISM program. And Prism or no Prism-- Skype was a $1bn present from Microsoft

How much time out of each day will be dedicated towards "pushing new boundaries of knowledge"? When large projects squeeze into tight deadlines, how much of that boundary pushing will be abandoned in favor of shipping things?

The point is that the comm lines are more valuable as an intelligence asset than they are as a strategic target.

They are designed with this in mind, and certainly hold up better than oil pipelines, which also have to be engineered to withstand earthquakes. I expect it is unlikely for an earthquake itself to sever a cable, but knocking out power &#x2F

This is really just silly, anybody working "on the ground" so to speak with technology understands there is no need for malice here. I would agree with the narrative that so far in the digital age the elephant in the room (NSA) ha

You say "rockets" and people conjure up the image of a smart bomb or modern American military missile. The "rockets" that Hamas fires from gaza are little more than homebrew model rockets. They are scarcely larger or mor

I suspect they had a very robust testing regime for both the software and the hardware used in this project. As well as more formal mathematical proofs of the physics to back up their engineering. A better analogy might be for rockets &#x2F
