It's a great counterpoint because with a large staff you can never solve the human element. It's also corollary to the hacking approaches we see regularly employed: Send an exploit payload via email to everyone in the company and

I agree and I could see them reversing their stance now with the press around it. More than likely a middle manager approved the pro bono usage and once it got expensive that manager found him/herself in hot water over the resources be

The thing I wish someone spelled out to me when I started my startup employment journey over ten years ago is that you need to pick the right company. Most startup equity ends up being worthless, so you need to think of yourself as a ventur

This issue is actually not isolated to just barbecues and barbecue brushes although the fact that it gets into your food does make it worse. A few weeks ago my friend invited me to their high class HOA pool that had a sand beach. Wading aro

"The players may not communicate in any way" - It seems to me that all the answers are a form of communication. In fact the dictionary defines communicate as, "share or exchange information."

Man that's bad. Enforcing password policies at sign-in seems like a terribly flawed idea.

If I understand this correctly this means a corporation could buy an independent island, store the data there and the US could not issue a warrant for information from those servers. I wonder what this means for servers on barges as well. G

There's a conflicting argument happening in relation to the DAO incident: 1. Users can't be expected to know the ins and outs of the contract and its ramifications so they should not lose their investment due to the exploited cont

I think what is different about the DAO is that it's a corporation that is foreign and unregistered in every jurisdiction. Is that not significant? That seems more like a private syndicate with a shared bank account and some programati

Seems like this option is now invalid since the devs have now shown their unwillingness to let their pet contracts 'get bitten'.

The question was about blockchain not bitcoin, so I'm assuming the correlary is a private shared blockchain used to replace SWIFT between a consortium of banks. Bitcoin would not make sense as a SWIFT replacement because it's comp

A basic blockchain system would not necessarily change the feasibility of this attack, but it would probably make it easier to trace the funds. The crux of this attack is that the transacting and reporting computer were compromised. This me

One of my first jobs out of college I was stuck on a bug for several days and I was very obviously in panic mode with a deadline looming. An older engineer agreed to help me if I met him at his office at 7am. Up bright and early he greeted

Interesting point. If we are witnessing the end, would we recognize it at the time? Moore's Law has been something we've become accustomed to, so it almost seems hard to believe that it will end even if we are told that it will. M

I'm very interested in the concept of basic income, but I don't see any issue with this commentary from PT Barnum. It seems to be more of a statement of fact that some people spend their money more wisely than others. Basic income

I think the main issue is the name not the product. If it was honest about what it was then fine it's just modern AOL, but the name internet.org is at minimum misleading.
