Unless you are using Cloudflare's specialized security services, CDN is pretty interchangeable and easy to switch between. You can ever do dynamic DNS things to use multiple CDNs at the same time and shift different traffic segments on

This seems excessively handwringing about code rot. TIFF was introduced 35 years ago and still well supported. JPEG2000 didn't become super widespread, but is still used in many places. Smart passports encode your passport photo in JPE

I believe MaxMind finally updated the default US location into the middle of nearby lake to help stop this issue. How long it takes everyone to update their GeoIP DBs.... who can say? edit: >Following Hill’s extraordinary piece in Fusion

Yeah same concept basically. Take over a strip mall space, paper over the windows, set up the inside in a way that's optimized for delivery only. There's some interesting reporting on the various optimizations like all the isle be

Per the comment from mutedpossibly below, their own ethics board has already shot this down (pun intended), but before that, I wonder how they though any of this would fly under Part 107 [1] (pun also intended). [1] https://www.e

So, uh... a several page breathless article about how people in the city have... roommates? Am I missing something? Next week I expect an article about how they are shocked (SHOCKED!) that people in city don't have cars and take public

Google is really strict in general about these kinds of things. I had to go a few rounds with my VPSes before emails from them would consistently not end up in spam, but looking at the headers I'm mostly using IPv6 so I don't draw

Because it's pretty easy to set up a ready only server that runs off read only storage and that doesn't include any writable storage. The fact that it could be done doesn't really require extreme proof. They could still be ly

They must control ranges of "indian" IP addresses but announce BGP routes for them in Singapore and the UK. GeoIP says India, BGP takes you somewhere else. Easy peasy

No, but the article mentions "Audit Analytics" as a source, and after bumping around their site [1] a bit, my assumption is this is essentially a marketing piece to get people to buy their research product [1] https://b

I had a similar reaction when I first read about it. kind of crazy how no one was ever really held responsible and then 9-11 just kind of pushed it out of most of the public's collective memory, or at least that's how it seems to

It's a design feature dating back to when there were no easy ways to transport the engines. It's a perfectly cromulent way to transport a 747 engine, just uncommon these days because there are many large air freighters now (like t

News sites are reluctant to add outlinks because it drives pageviews and engagement away from their site. They'd much rather you click on a link to another one of their pages.

I bet sourcing all that sand will be a bigger problem than they expect as sand is a rare and nonrenewable resource that's heavily in demand for concrete and sourcing it has all sorts of environmental issues of its own. They should look

You seem to confusing criminal federal law concerning unauthorized computer access with a civil federal law regulating the trade of software vulnerabilities, which is what you'd need to solve the "problem" you are complaining

CFAA is only 2 years so that's not a huge problem

Companies' bug bounty programs are bound by their terms of service, not by this policy or the CFAA so I'm not sure what you are complaining about. Additionally companies are under no obligation to pay anyone for security research

It's true that grand juries indict most cases brought before them - the standard is lower than at a trial and you don't get to put on a defense - but I don't think it's fair to characterize them as rubber stamps as they
