Hey guys, just wanted to do a thread on here before anyone else posts it. The main idea was to open a dialogue between free speech idealists, trans folk (+ allies) and make a bit of a conversation about how we all fit in. It's a bit of

It sounds like its working as designed. It just uses the audio as a side channel to transmit telemetry data. Unless you ran the resulting video / audio through something specifically meant to remove this then even a recording is going

Depends, we could always create a cryptocurrency which renders and plays doom in a distributed manner. Reward people with "DoomCoins"

This shit isn't new, and it's not like Apple don't know about it. They will move to a new supplier, do a press release condemning them. Rinse and repeat, see you in a few years when the next thread pops up.

Are comparisons to slavery missing the point? I understand that companies are always going to go for the lowest bidder, but if the lowest bidder was mistreating it's workers and they know about it then it's socially irresponsible.

With a lot more people taking courses remotely, I expect some universities will take the approach Amazon does and have "test centers" with proctors to make sure there are no shenanigans. That, and a lot more coursework / open

There is a monetary incentive for the company running online systems such as banks to keep things secure(ish). They are made by mostly technically savvy people and in general are audited properly. Electronic voting goes to the lowest bidder

Why? This is Facebook's business model. They have a shadow profile for you and managed to link your test account or some other service they own (whatsapp?) with your real account. They only need a single data point.

If you are in the U.S, you can get sued for anything (See patent trolls). Doesn't mean they will successfully win, but can you afford to fight?

There was a leap second too, you forgot that one!

But they didn't report it did they? Playing devil's advocate a bit here, but they could have reported it for a bug bounty but they instead chose to use it to create a jailbreak.

I like to go with a brief "what i've done and why". Maybe "BUG-123 (Broken profile page) - Fixed missing CSS".

This is probably high up on the list of reasons why they don't.

Might as well piss in the wind. The number of back-links from different sources probably has a much larger effect.

Maybe not so much of a problem in C++ but look at JavaScript. With the millions of dependencies / libraries you import, if they all used free standing functions you would inevitably end up with collisions.

That's why I mentioned certificate pinning. I figure you could generate a keypair for WSS communications between the nice programs and then when a nice client tried to connect to a naughty server he would know he had connected t

I'm assuming this can be mitigated by using SSL/TLS. Have a read over at https://crossbar.io/docs/Secure-WebSocket-and-HTTPS/ - Not sure how you would do certificate pinning though.

Think of it as an SLA. People optimise for different outcomes, some people need their groceries in a 1 hour timeslot because they have other commitments.

Just a sidenote, a lot of nebulized drugs also contain propylene glycol. I know it's not quite the same delivery mechanism as vaping, but it does end up in the lungs.
