I think his "hack" is something far simpler than having a co-conspirator. As he helped setup the live streaming system, he also installed a piece of software that nicely calculates what to do at every step and simply sends him hi

Congrats for quitting. I was also just like you. I would smoke maybe one analog a day but with Juul, I blitzed through a whole pod. I became 10x more addicted. Thankfully I have been tobacco free for over a year now.

Large companies like Microsoft assume that there are advanced persistent threats that are willing to place HUMINT inside of their companies. The companies have dedicated internal teamd focused on detecting them. For example, Twitter recentl

This was confirmed in the Snowden leaks. It said it was a VPN popular in Africa and the Middle East but its name was never made public.

Yes. Gabe was the PM for Windows 95. He and Michael Harrington founded Valve a year afterwards. I asked Gabe over email if it was because it was the 1 year anniversary of Windows 95 launch but he said Valve was actually founded on his weddi

Valve and Gabe have explicitly said if will never happen. I met someone that once worked at MSFT in corporate development. Said they spent months working on a pitch to acquire Valve and Gabe kicked them out of the building after 15 minutes.

This isn't a backdoor but it is a major vulnerability.

Something about this whole article is bullshit. In fact, it could be a planted story BY NSA. The Shadow Brokers released source code and the USA still doesn't know how it was leaked. There's no source code in an "intercept

This was a shameful crime that occurred at the highest levels in Silicon Valley. This illegal cartel should have been prosecuted under RICO laws with CEOs taken away in hand cuffs. Instead, the worker bees got peanuts. I received a $1300 se

I've been where you're at a few times. The best advice I got is: nobody will contact you for a job. Go out and make it happen.

Landlords don't get it either. I'm a landlord and most of that money goes to the banks and property taxes. I might see profits in 10-20 years if I'm lucky but even that's a gamble.

I see a State level complaint. I'd like to see a Federal investigation also.

Why is this only a civil SEC investigation? This should also have an FBI / criminal component. Perhaps it is coming later like it did with Theranos and Experian.

This kind of defeats the purpose of Probable Cause. AWS would only fight the subpoena if it was overly broad and could materially impact many customers. In this case, I want to see AMI taken down.

People react differently to the same stimuli. What may traumatize one person, may not do anything to the next.

I am in this boat too. I have diagnosed PTSD that still haunts me to this day. This stood out to me from the article: “Spanking alone is associated with outcomes similar to those of children who experience physical abuse, the new academy st

In this case, it reflects fraud. On top of the wire fraud that he committed by emailing a false financial statement.
