SpaceX is unique because there are a whole lot of people who want to work on space exploration and very few big companies that are making serious progress in the field. Many people will put up with lower pay and extreme working conditions j

Reddit's content policy has also changed a LOT since he was CEO. While the policy back then may not have been as loose as "is it illegal?" it was still far looser than what Reddit has had to implement to gain advertisers.

Sorta related to (1) but not really: there are also more "advanced" detection techniques that most sites use to identify things like ban evasion and harassment using multiple accounts. If they say "we identified that you are

"I have people skills!" I get what you're saying and have worked with people like that. But I see that as a different management problem that also needs to be solved.

It sounds like the fuzzer would have had to use an arbitrary number of bytes containing '.' and the cert would've had to pass chain of trust verification. A fuzzer is only as strong as its implementation.

I don't see any ad when I search for "gimp". Maybe it's only targeting Windows users? edit: nevermind. I was being saved by ublock origin. Searching with it disabled shows the malicious ad.

I'll never understand how people can justify seeing the world in such binary terms. You don't honestly think someone is "bad" or "good" based on political ideology, do you?

It'll be very interesting to see what advertisers stick around through all this mayhem.

It's certainly possible. I've handled a bunch of bug bounty programs and sometimes submissions come in at just the right time and attract just the right attention. It's not a reasonable expectation for the average submission.

I think there's a difference between verifying a report and simply triaging it to the right team. Apple is doing the former while companies that respond in 15 mins are often doing the latter.

Media consolidation in the 90s took decades to degrade our public discourse. I fear for what things will look like in another 10 years.

I used to live in a neighborhood that had a slug line to the Pentagon. You could do a similar analysis of "something is going down with the military" by judging the number of cars left in the park and ride area after rush hour.

I worked for a startup in the early 2000s that got funding and moved into a nice new office building being subleased by an oil company. And odd requirement of signing the lease was that they had to hire and keep on an IT manager that used t

This ignores the motivations for subsidizing electric vehicles, namely damage to the environment from burning fossil fuels and air pollution. There's a debate to be had about how much better EVs are for the environment but I don't

Maybe. But identifying vulnerable drivers being used in prolific malware and providing a signature to block them isn't.

There are some good hackers in India, no doubt. But having managed a few bug bounty programs, the majority of submissions from that part of the world are spam. People run vulnerability scanners, count on ignorance on behalf of the company t

While some scans might come from that actual host owners, the vast majority are coming from compromised systems. If the ISP is responsible and investigates they will be shut off. Most types of scanning also violate the terms of service for

That study appears to conflate smart phone use with social media use. Which one is really to blame?

They had a choice between slowing the device or providing a substandard user experience when the old battery couldn't keep up and the phone shut down. I think there are plenty of reasons to criticize Apple but I have no idea why people

I remember my parents saying that TV was going to rot my brain... then video games... before that it was comic books. Are there any reputable studies that show having a smart phone is detrimental to the health of a teenager? I've seen

This doc looks pretty old. The timeline ends in 2012. I'd be they were mostly hardwired connections and just mapped network login events, DHCP records, and physical port maps. You could probably do the same now with WiFi records.

It would depend on the rules for the program. GitLab's HackerOne Rules of Engagement do not explicitly prohibit testing on gitlab.com except for attacks that are "disruptive" or access the private information of other users.

In my experience in undergrad "D" meant "you can get credit for this class but cannot use it as a pre-requisite for other courses". So that makes sense for graduate level courses.

Back then the OS that shipped with the PC determined what 99% of people would run (much like today). Microsoft used their burgeoning monopoly to make sure that no one shipped a non-Microsoft OS with any PC. OS/2 was so much better than

I've read that the constitutionality of that blanket pardon was never really tested as no one wanted to challenge it.

IANAL but AFAIK a US Citizen cannot be denied entry to the US under any circumstances. They can detain you, search you, seize property, and charge you with any relevant crimes... but they can't simply deny entry.

I hope the Apple security team that was assigned to investigate this report is enjoying a nice beverage tonight. Dealing with unconfirmed critical security reports with few details can be a nightmare, especially when they turn out to be unf

I own a 2019 model 3 and the last I heard was that they couldn't use those cameras for monitoring a driver's attention because they were intended for monitoring the cabin when you "rented out" your FSD vehicle, so they a
