Spring makes the discussion confusing because it refers to "single instances of a class" as "singleton" scope. What is being debated here is when a class intentionally restricts how many instances of itself can be instan

Why are we sharing ultrasound pictures? Should we be? How about: should we be questioning what other people decide to share with friends, family, the Internet? Probably not.

How much damages do you expect to win for loss of a twitter username?

That is when it was published, but the text gives no indication if the events happened yesterday or 12 months ago. It's useful to know if these abysmal practices are still current or not at Apple/Amazon/etc.

If you have the Twitter app on your smartphone, you can get notifications through it. I have 2FA for Twitter but do not receive SMS messages.

Parliament - holding an emergency debate on the crisis - voted by 361 to 2 to repeal the protest law. How many of those MPs voted for the law when it was passed two weeks ago? The article is missing that context.

Sure, and the scrutiny in 1976 was vastly improved to 1956, or twenty years before that, etc. As the saying goes, espionnage is one of the world's oldest professions. If there wasn't a real fear of long-term moles in government, c

Is it a likely scenario that Russia intelligence could recruit, contact and provide help to an NSA employee without NSA knowing about it? Without NSA having any trace what so ever (in contrast to Manning‎ and his chat conversations)? This

Assange's hacker name was Mendax (nobly untruthful). Snowden's code name? Verax (truth teller). I am not the hugest Snowden or Wikileaks fan, but how is it a coincidence that people whose mission it is to release secrets would c
