Well, I don't think most people know that this tech exists, so in part the purpose of these articles is to inform them. I think the fear is that this thing can sweep an area at a couple thousand feet and indiscriminately collect informatio

There used to be an old guy camping out behind a building, near where I worked. I started talking to him and offered to buy him food for which he was grateful. He never asked for money, he was happy to get a sandwich and a large bottle of w

The original vision by Eben Moglen was to use "increasingly cheap ARM, $50-$100 devices that plug into the wall and are not much bigger than an AC adapter." Almost certainly referring to the Sheevaplug. But the reference platform for Freedo

It's not privilege because it's not undeserved. They paid a price that affected their ability to compete in the workplace when they got back home. It's a form of social compensation.

It's strategic. It's because we're trying to correct behavior, not just punish offenders. We live in a society together and you can't just push these people out and marginalize them and expect benefits. This has been discussed to death, and

I don't think I could even count how many contractors I've worked with that were on H1-B's and yet were doing basic Struts and Dreamweaver code monkey work for my place of employment. Work so basic that it doesn't even need a software engin

I have found the earlier model, the MK802/MK803 to be unreliable. I've gone through two of them already and have opted not to buy a third. The first one quit working, the second one the wifi quit working and other strangeness.

Even that has some security utility because it can enable SSL certificate pinning and prevent phishing. I don't know if they're using it that way, but it makes it possible.

Will I fail the post-beer test if I don't care for drinking culture? What if I'm a Muslim, Mormon, or just a teetotaller? Why do these places seem to have the same beer-culture? I think this is a new thing? I didn't see it so prevalent ten

"people who are terrified of a code of conduct policy are the ones who are creepers." Just like anybody concerned about privacy is a crook hiding something, right? Or maybe they're afraid of getting swept up in an in-progress moral panic.
