Encryption is great, but in general it is not really needed, as long as you are not a suspect of a crime.

You don't need a "burner" laptop/phone for entering the European Union. There are no routine checks of electronic devices except the usual x-ray machines.

The title should be: Why measuring developer productivity by story points is bad. I was once part of a team that had a zero-storypoints developer too, let's call him Zero. He always refused to get any stories assigned during planning,

The reality is, that someone else already spent a tremendous effort of building emulators. Or do you know any older platform that can't be emulated? 100% accuracy is not needed, that's not possible. Even current hardware is not 10

If you want to know if this would be copyrightable, just flip a coin. I don't think anyone can give you better legal advice on this example than a coin toss.

I understand it in this way (I am not a lawyer): if you're using an AI tool to generate art, the company that's running the AI tool as SaaS can't claim copyright on the generated content. The person who uses the tool can clai

With modern battery electric busses there is usually no need to charge while driving. Drivers need breaks, fast charging during the break time is enough. Fast charging infrastructure is much simpler to install and cheaper than overhead wire

I think software is rather easy to archive. Emulators are they key. Nearly every platform from the past can be emulated on a modern arm/x86 Linux/windows system. Arm/x86/linux/windows are ubiquitous, even if they mi

I think it’s fine that not everything on the internet is archived forever. It has always been like that, in the past people wrote on paper, and most of it was never archived. At some point it was just lost. I inherited many boxes of notes,

Thanks for those insights. So they might have good reasons to support Google‘s position.

Trolleybusses are surprisingly expensive to operate. Battery electric busses seem to be much cheaper to operate and often good enough.

Answer to the question: political reasons and lobbying. Hydrogen is produced by the big oil and gas companies. By pushing hydrogen vehicle instead of battery electric vehicles they stay in business. They market hydrogen as a green alternati

I think Microsoft just doesn't care about ad-blockers. They probably don't have a strong position on it. If they work it's fine for them, if they don't its also fine. They need to ship a good browser with Windows, becaus

It's hard to tell if they neglected the original Edge or if they just couldn't keep up with Chrome. IE was a completely different story, it was full of proprietary Microsoft technology (ActiveX) and a lot of Enterprise application

You can discover IP adresses, sure. Just enumerate them. But this doesn't give you the domain, as long as there is no reverse dns record. I'm quite sure OP meant a virtual host only reachable with the correct Host: header.

I'm guessing they meant it discovered a virtual host behind a subdomain.

Security by obscurity can be a great additional measure for an already secure system. It can reduce attack surface, make it less likely to get attacked in the first place. In some cases (like this one) it can also be much easier to break th

This really depends on the setup. Most web servers host multiple virtual hosts. IP addresses are expensive. If you're deploying a service behind a reverse proxy, it either must be only accessible from the reverse proxy via an internal

If a HTTPS service should be hard to discover, an easy way is to hide it behind a subdirectory. Something like https://subdomain.domain.example/hard_to_find_secret_string . Another option are wildcard certificates. This obvi

Port scanning usually can't discover subdomains. Most servers don't expose the of the domains they server content for. In case of HTTP they usually only serve the subdomain content if the Host: request-header includes it.

Absolutely. We aren't allowed to introduce new services from US companies anymore. It's just too risky right now, who knows what's going to happen next in this trade war. What's happening to Canada and Mexico can happen
