If you look up Pompeo on wikipedia, he has zero credibility in the Intelligence community having no experience whatsoever. His political credentials are: He's a tea party member, and he's a republican. That's it. He's ju

haha, that safety stuff is just training wheels. You can't delegate security. Even if you use some baby-proof "programming language", as a security engineer you still have to verify that the safety works in the condition(s) y

What if an entity willingly allowed the attacks or espionage to continue? Like the NSA allowing foreign nations to spy on US citizens and corporations, or the CIA operating and allowing drug operations to run amok within US borders, or the

The idiot is embarrassed because the DNC was exposed as fraudulent and corrupt to the core. One might figure only the Russians would be interested in exposing the underlying machinations of American politics, but it really is just a classic

Isn't SiliconnValley just the wall Street of techbro snowflakes and startup culture? Who cares what they say. These billionaires don't matter. They don't fund the core advancements that matter, they're just data traders.

I can see how working for Google, there is no issue using their cloud infrastructure... For other companies I don't see the benefit esp since Google is an enormous data broker to the US government and security infrastructure. Microsoft

There aren't many non-european Americans willing to live in Scandinavia or europe over the US barring extraordinary circumstances. A significant amount of foreign, non 'white', skill prefers the US over say Norway. Considerin

That is not true. Some tech people go in hoping to be millionaires, but the environment is extremely cut throat, esp with competition like India with billions of people keen on dominating tech, as well as Chinese skill. Many of the tech peo

All the "25% extra work" is doing is continue to widen the wealth gap. Their input into the economy is exploited by politicians, government, big business and banks. That is why Bloomberg, a well known shill piece for the 1%, is sp

The "American dazzle tech boom industry" is a scam and a hoax. It is a government protected endeavor by government protected and connected organizations.

It is a scam. They're not looking to fill in those positions. They just open those positions up, under no obligation to hire, then report to their gov censor that they have created x amount of jobs without the intent of filling those p

Our best bet would be what SpaceX envisions. Instead of having a massive rocket, use the same platform to deliver the cargoes multiple times into space (LEO), then have it assemble in space to journey to Mars, and maybe the Moon.

What feels comfortable now is going to feel uncomfortable in like a decade. Especially if VR stuff begins to hit. The abominable Comcast is already enacting data caps, maybe due to limits already being reached.

Oh my, that is amazing. I feel like such a scrub with my salvaged from scrapped mechanical keyboard with wires sticking out everywhere. Though they could do something better with the palm rests. Also what USB chip do they use?

NIST has too much influence from the NSA. There needs to be a better standards equivalent where the US doesn't wield so much influence in subverting security protocols. It may be a pipedream considering every Western country wants to b

Doesn't downsampling have the affect of preventing the use of more popular stego apps? Makes me wonder if there's something hidden in 25519. According to recent publications, it's easy to create backdoored primes fashioned to

They're estimated to have to have to pay over (or have losses of) $5 billion! The class action lawsuits haven't even started yet, and you bet your ass InQTel, Facebook, Apple shell corps are going to be funding those lawsuits to t

Looks like Samsung has to foot the 5+billion dollar bill to come up with a solution. Are these known to just affect the snapdragon US version from whatever samples Samsung has been able to obtain? I'm reading that some cases are refusi

How is it that many of these websites haven't learned about HTTPS, I.e. data integrity?

Haha it is hardly nonsense. Corporate sabotage is part of what any company has to deal with. Considering that Apple and Google are poised to gain, with Apple shares rising it is obvious Apple had the most to gain. There is also geopolitical

Hahaha nope, the US is desperate to continue its dominance over the market to sustain their surveillance apparatus and will deal with anyone, company and org that attempts to prevent their surveillance capabilities in a highly aggressive ma

Meh, it is too close to the rise of Goole as smartphone fab, the competition between Qualcomm and Samsung processors and the rise of Chinese fabs trying to enter the western markets. Their adversaries are very dangerous and I wouldn't

Even with the coincidence of Pixel release and Samsung having problems with their batteries which hints with high probability the occurrence of corporate sabotage, the way Samsung has been trying to deal with this is appalling.

One of the key take aways I got from this article is that it is nearly impossible to depair the efficiency of exploitative capitalism of 'physical industry' and the abstraction that is an economic, or generically a bloodless, revo

She is right about one thing, "Silicon Valley", is the worst thing that has happened to the decentralization and distribution or the powers of the internet. Their entire motive is centralization and monopolization.

It is about the American outlook where the perception is warped to the extent that all that is seen and wanted is only meant for them. Or in another sense; because it exists, then it exists only for them. It ties into their earlier religion

As soon as you hit resource scarcity, there is no cushion to give people "rights" and the state begins to change the economic rules to maintain stability. The US and the West experienced a huge gain in resource that is quickly bei

I have a running bet they offshore or hire in Indian work to replace whoever gets hired for this, and they'll chase the dude out within a year.

Being secure and having privacy is for the privileged. To actually have the same amount of security and privacy before the internet and device boom is prohibitively expensive for over 90% of the citizens. They've made absolutely certai
