I wish that were the world we live in. This is from the Snowflake breach, meaning this database was an "AI Powered Unified Data Platform." It almost feels like the erosion of our privacy is fueling the growth of allot companies. I

In this instance, does Boeing need to fail though? There seems to be quite a bit of criminality happening, which is a law enforcement issue. The rest should have been caught by regulatory bodies. If you get rid of the criminals and enforce

For me I use the Will Smith video[0] from just over a year ago. Compared to the examples it's a pretty stark difference. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/yes-v...

I feel bad for teenage engineering. I'm a fan of their gear and its design, including the R1's physical design. It's a shame that it didn't have utility and turned into such a hot mess. Maybe they can add some MIDI ports

Totally, the gold/blue dress picture is a perfect example of that[0]. I think with aphantasia, what makes it so interesting to me is just how much I consider visualizing in my mind to be core to how I think and understand things as wel

I learned about Aphantasia about eight months ago, and it really sent me for a trip. I have no problems visualizing in my mind and sometimes can get lost in it, to me that’s what daydreaming is. I discussed it with some of my friends, and i

I didn't intend for there to be contradictions (it's early, and I was on my first cup of coffee). What I meant was that the privacy battle against power has either already been decided or it never truly existed. We are granted rig

I think the title is backward — the article discusses power as a threat to privacy and encryption, which is often the case. If everyone had perfect privacy from those in power, the tax system would be entirely based on honor, and no one wou

There's no panic; people just aren't accepting the lack of security and privacy being presented. If this is tame compared to a few years from now, then the path we travel to get there will be lined with these types of implementati

For SSID's the one thing I would recommend is appending "_nomap" onto the name to opt-out of location service databases from Google, Microsoft and Apple.

That's a bit of a unfair comparison. In the context I was discussing I consider it a pragmatic take because our response to these issues needs to be understood across multiple domains including privacy. That's not to say that noth

The true cost of any of this is very hard to quantify. There are reputational costs (though you generally want to buy the dip after a hack), national security concerns, intellectual property theft, etc. So, it is a weak argument in that reg

Not necessarily. I always try to write to disk first, usually in a rotating compressed format if possible. Then, based on something like a queue, cron, or inotify, other tasks occur, such as processing and database logging. You still end up

I agree in part — a lot of the attribution is extremely weak and based entirely on some correlation of previously weakly attributed tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP in security parlance). Also, I think the effort in describing all t
