The sha1 hash isn't used for security. You should be signing your commits if security is a concern.

It makes perfect sense to move earth sciences to other agencies. NOAA should be taking point.

Only issue there is it will more than likely no longer be "your" car, but a paid service like Uber.

It seems like Google has completely lost it's sense of direction and purpose. They appear to be throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Youtube Go should have just be integrated into the normal youtube app, same with youtube

People quickly forget that Palmer is a private citizen. He is free to have what ever political views he wants. I could some what understand if it was Oculus, but it is not. Oculus has nothing to do with Palmers political views.

Not knowing how it works doesn't change the fact that broadcasting the SSID is a key part of how wifi works. The only real solution is not to use wifi if you don't want it to be mapped.

Interesting attempt at trying to make Airpods into something they are not. Implants have to be implanted. The glasses analogy is a bit off because most people wouldn't ware glasses all the time if it wasn't for the fact they are n

This landing page is pretty bad. No real information what so ever, but just an attempt at email harvesting.

The DS (2004-2014) was released almost a full year before the GameBoy Micro (2005-2006).

Nintendo also ended up adding it back for the DS and has kept it since.

Thats pretty much it. Its funny how a lot of the Tech community values personal privacy, but forget that people like Peter Thiel are private citizens too.

The thing I think everyone is missing is that it isn't their employer who has the policy. It is the other business in the same office space. I would still talk to HR about it, but it might not be up to that employer if dogs are allowed

Well that sucks. I would get Google Fiber in a flat second if it was available where I live.

This just ins't politics and it isn't just text messages. Anything you send over the wire could comeback.

No its not. The reality is the biggest threat to privacy is due to political engagement. Stronger encryption that no one can break is really the only viable option.

Still. The idea that it is a service means that you are still handing over indirect control.

Wouldn't this give Facebook indirect control over your server? If Facebook wanted to they could just ban your account. Or change your password. Also it is far more likely that a hacker is going to gain access to your Facebook account o

Let's Encrypt is pretty great, but if you have the money get a paid SSL. Not all SSL certs are created equal.

I think it is definitely for scaling. Also you can add any number of devices that are independent of each other. Like for instance using two Vives in the same room, but use the same base stations.

I wonder if they could take action against VirnetX for the costs of switching to a new system.

There is a big difference between handing over source code and pushing signed patches to a device. A key principle in modern Cryptography is that if your algorithm has to stay secret in order to remain secure then it is inherently insecure.

That is what a tablet is. Most tablets these days run mobile OS. I think that is where the real issue is. Mobile OS are great for consuming content, but not at creating content.

That is just shoddy programming... the string "null" should never be equal to the type null...
