Ah yeah, 100% agreed. I think it was a cool concept, but if we're being fair we were practically exploiting a vulnerability in HPKP to produce unintended behavior. (On that note, one of the HPKP Suicide demos we presented at Black Hat

I'd add HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) to the list. I was burned by that one.

I personally think this will be a great thing for the quality of the language (no typed higher-order functions is a massive pain point as-is), but at the same time one could argue that this is an equally massive bait-and-switch for all the

It took me way too long[1] to figure out that "digital signage" means physical signs, not that display manufacturers are now jacking up their rates for models that won't backdoor your system and exfiltrate your private keys

They mean quite a lot to me personally, but for the sake of argument let's assume you're talking about the "average person". Sure, on some level that's arguably not wrong. Most individuals are unlikely to be persona

Would it be accurate to say that Ancana is to timeshares as Airbnb is to hotels (a technical distinction without major practical differences to the end user), or would it be more accurate to say that Ancana is literally just a specific type

We need a lemon-like law for consumer electronics. I wonder how this should apply to planned obsolescence of devices like smartphones. On one hand, it's obscene that manufacturers expect us to routinely spend ~$1k on a device that wi

I did this recently (well not all my data, but one bank account). I had to go through customer support, and they had some trouble with it but eventually figured it out. I'm not a fan of Plaid. The core concept is great, but training us

The real answer as of today: it's coming soon (as per the demand of Chuck Schumer, Senate majority leader), but isn't the top legislative priority. At a minimum, I'd say we won't have a bill on the Senate floor until aft

I have no familiarity with the internals of wicd, but from a glance at the most recent commits it looks like wicd-curses has already been migrated to Python 3: https://git.launchpad.net/wicd/log/curses

Being an idiot in a viking suit justifies attempting to assassinate multiple acting government officials for the purpose of interrupting the certification of the election. OK.

It absolutely is not. Unless you're claiming that the 1/6 footage was all deepfaked and/or an Antifa false flag operation, the issue seems pretty unambiguous.

I'm not disagreeing with most of that, quite the opposite. What I take issue with is the media being brazenly unfair in select instances, which needlessly gives Q cultists ammunition to help radicalize "normies". It's so

It's an interesting idea. So much of the US is just uninhabited land. I could see such policies not leading to overcrowding, but rather to increased development and economic growth across the country, particularly if combined with some

Both sides have a tendency to cry wolf. Bush was awful, but he wasn't Hitler. Romney was treated particularly unfairly during his presidential run. Regardless of one's feelings on Trump, it's clear that he wasn't treated

It’s frankly exhausting to have discussions when both sides live in their own worlds. It is indeed. You sound arrogant, “only one side is correct and it’s my side” I have very little patience for dishonesty. If that makes me seem "

This is implying that default mail-in voting was a way to get Democrats elected in the first place. No it isn't. Don't be obtuse. Challenging elections integrity in the courts are what insure the process is transparent and foll

Same here. It's like all those sensationalist political / culture war articles that frame some out-there fringe idea as a mainstream agenda (e.g. "Curry considered racist"). Then you actually read past the headline, and

Sure both sides are claiming it, but only one side is correct. On the right, we have: * USPS sabotage and state-level voter suppression measures in urban areas leading up to the 2020 election * Post-election soft coup attempt via the courts

I was with you until this somehow turned into "both sides are equally bad". We should absolutely push for greater transparency and verifiability into the internals of such critical infrastructure. The fact that one side has not pr
