Actually, it does imply the laws are different, considering the folks who wrote the laws at the time were not considering their cyber implications, and the folks interpreting the laws in courts (judges) themselves have a different set of ex

Is there a CVE? I'm not sure I understand, and this article only serves to confuse. Consider this line, at the beginning: > In this attack, the target would not need to goof up — open an attachment or download a file that's c

I attended a talk given by Michael Hayden that touched on this concept a bit, with regards to the difference in RoE in "meatspace" vs cyberspace. An example he gave was seeing a cop drive by your house. Ostensibly that'll pu

So to make it explicit, this article is suggesting that Netflix would not make additional money by disallowing account sharing, that the new accounts wouldn't make up for the lost "good will" or something?

As you're well aware, I'm constantly baffled by how little positive intent is assumed on my behalf around here, but no, I didn't mean to suggest the company isn't generally interesting to me. It's a source of frus

Apparently in that comments section, the leaker was legit: > Palantir is trying to raise another ~400mm to finance their operations.

I asked what was more or uniquely interesting about Palantir, and even if I did think what they did wasn't interesting (I don't think that), what's so absurdly surprising about that?

Chill out, I mean "good" as in competent.

Lots of companies do work for/with the NSA, and I doubt that's a significant percentage of their business anyway. Just seems like there's a weird (and generally incorrect) fascination with Palantir that I don't understan

Is there a name for the (anti?)pattern where a company pushes hard to be considered a "product" company, but has to scale its hiring to its customers pretty linearly? Such a company might have a general software package but that p

They're a consulting company, what's so interesting about what they do, other than their cool name?

A lesson they're learning right now, I suppose.

Luckily I don't, so we don't have to go there.

But not criminality? That's a baffling stance that entirely ignores the source and designated purpose of law.

My Google Wallet card does the same thing this does.

Maybe, maybe not -- I'd love to discuss it. More importantly, I wanted to reframe your comment in a way that was productive. Instead of "Nobody has a right to private criminality.", it seems more conversational to say "

Crime or not, they're both immoral. Nobody has a right to private immoral activity.

Trolls used to mean (and I think still does mean) a person who attempts to voice an opinion they don't hold with the intent of invoking a negative reaction out of someone else. Most of the folks spewing bile at Ellen Pao probably don&

What else are you supposed to do when you conquer your market? Spending more money to be an even bigger Internet ad player would suffer diminishing returns, so you hunt for better investments that'll (here comes the buzzword) synergiz

I've read somewhere that it's very hard to sell VCs on dating websites, but with OKC and PoF both now being owned by big companies, is this space opening back up for someone without the stink of big corporate?

Good call, I was completely wrong in what I thought the state of nuclear weapons proliferation was.

That's kind of odd, that Mass. isn't included. I wonder what happened there.

It's too late for that now, though. The 5 nations that have them are the only five that will have them, if the 5 nations that have them have anything to say about it (and they do).

I don't think Victoria got fired for saying she wouldn't do the AMAs anymore if they tried to monetize them. That's something you can say publicly without much issue, and it's not something you'd probably fire some
