That's a huge gamble most people aren't willing to accept.

This thread is mostly full of jokes, and that's cool. But more seriously I'm exactly the kind of person I suppose this is meant to appeal to. I've spent the last 2-3 decades breaking into systems. Many of these systems compri

If it weren't this game it would be something else. I remember Animal Crossing dominating all video game discussions for weeks or months at a time.

I was with you until your last example. You appear to be suggesting that people who've lost statewide elections should never run for a statewide position again? History is full of examples of great legislators who didn't win their

No one was materially hurt? What about the two people who had to hire legal representation to defend themselves from baseless allegations and a pointless investigation? And the harm to their reputations? I agree that there isn't much t

The current version doesn't but there's not really a reason to believe it can't be updated. I think the author overstates the complexity of documenting these proxies and URLs for sites that run them.

I'm surprised they'd even let you run a cluster without dedicated master nodes. It's basic good practice and their docs emphasize this quite clearly.

As someone in the security field, please don't sell exploits to brokers. Aside from the moral and ethical implications it's also doing a disservice to the industry in general.

No one in the article or in these comments is saying that what Apple is doing is illegal or violates a contract. It's just a scummy thing to do.

Read the article. This is about Apple submitting this data to private companies like Lexis-Nexis and then changing it when employees leave.

They're submitting this data to Lexis-Nexis. It's not about employers calling Apple to verify the info. Lexis-Nexis most likely requires a title and Apple is changing it after people leave.

The driver watches as his car runs a red light and then swerves into bollards, but still allows it to come within a couple of feet of pedestrians standing in the bollards later on. I can't believe people trust their cars not to kill pe

Tesla has been removing the features upon resale. So these features are really just a license you purchase to use while you own the car.

Many types of fraud only exist because people are "stupid". They're still illegal.

This is a pretty uncommon scenario, though. Making everyone work on-site on the off-chance that someone will fake an interview seems like a severe over-reaction.

Well, maybe not anymore, but the Secret Service used to be charged with investigating computer crimes. I was the victim of one of their covert raids at the Pentagon City mall way back in the early 90s. They dressed up like mall cops and sea

It's just speculation as to how this went down, but having been in this position before it's usually not an easy thing to handle. If there's a dispute about impact a responsible researcher will usually say "I still plan

Theoretically they could buy it, replace the management, sign a contract to never do such things again, and spin it off. They wouldn't necessarily have to deal with it beyond that. But this would be rewarding existing ownership with a

It takes real effort to run most of the LAMP stack as root. If you don't understand Unix permissions it's not easy. Apache, mysql, (and therefore php) all run by default as a low-privileged user. I have plenty of real world experi

Completely agree. I would add, though, that there is no reason not to recommend improvements if you can think of them. You don't have to just accept that things take forever, are broken, and everyone hates life. It's not all that

No way, that's good blackmail data. Imagine the power you could exert over people like Supreme Court Justices if you can buy their porn browsing history.

They are held to a higher standard. That's why they aren't making assumptions based on such limited data. They're being cautious until enough data is gathered to make an informed decision.
